| I am trying to make a dice rolling alias but can't figure it out.
I have set up an alias "throw * dice *"
Send ("squint and throws %1 %2-sided dice...")
<The calculation part here is what I can't figure out.>
Send ("say [Dice 1] + [Dice 2], etc. = [Total]")
I assume this would involve the use of MtRandom () but am having no luck with it.
Thanks in advance for the help. | | Top |

| ok, here is what I've got now...
Send ("squint and throws %1 %2-sided dice......")
for i = 1, %1 do
Tell (math.floor (MtRand () * %2) + 1, " " )
end
This will generate random numbers based on how many numbers on each dice and quantity of dice.
What I want it to do is store the values of each number generated so that I can Send the command "say" followed by each number rolled and have it calculate the total.
Thanks for any help. | | Top |
