Dice Roller

[Kralik]

I deleted my original announcement, and then had a problem with my second try... so here it goes again! Third time's the charm...

I was poking around the RPG forum and I noticed that some people were looking for a dice roller. I found one online that I installed, but then I found a purtier one to use. Here's the basic syntax:

Code: [Select]

:dice [# of dice]d[size of dice][sign][modifier]
Some examples (remove the extra space between : and dice):

: dice 5d18:

  Rolling 5d18:   (11+14+16+12+9): Total = 62

: dice 2d9+1:

  Rolling 2d9+1:   (7+8)+1: Total = 16

: dice 4d8-2:

  Rolling 4d8-2:   (4+3+8+4)-2: Total = 17

Note two things:
1) It only works when you post (intentionally not in previews).
2) If you edit your post and/or try to change the dice rolls, it will give you gobbledygook.

Feel free to try it out on this thread. Enjoy!

Note: I can't edit the above post, but I forgot the ending colon in the above syntax. The correct syntax is:

Code: [Select]

:dice [# of dice]d[size of dice][sign][modifier]:

  This is complicated.

Not really.

(EDIT: Example of what happens if you edit your post.)

A perfect example of what happens if you edit your post! Don't do it.

Sweetness.

:dice 2d6:

Sorry, too many rolls!

[SomeRandomDude]

^^That was 10000 rolls. What's the limit?

NB and I have been experimenting. It looks like if you edit a post and try to add in a dice roll, it doesn't work. So hopefully the whole thing will discourage cheating.

  Rolling 10d6:   (4+2+5+6+2+3+3+4+4+4): Total = 37

I think it's 100d40. Let's try:

Nope! I'll check the code.
