New Dice Functions Request

[ericphillips]

Here are two features I would love to see implemented in the die roller:

1. Math with variables. So I could roll X = 3d6, then use X in the next part of a macro.

2. Logic operators, at a minimum less than, less than or equal to, equal to or greater than, & greater than. It should be able to do ranges like "if x >7 and x < 11, then..." A not equal to would also be good.

That way, for GURPS, I could write macro that gives success or failures, unless a 3,4,17 or 18 is rolled. Then it could check to see the base skill, because at some skill levels a 4 is not a critical hit and 17 is not a critical failure.

This would also let me implement the wacko dicing of Paranoia.

From what I can tell it is impossible to do right now. Although, from the lack of documentation, I cannot tell what is actually possible.

Thanks

Welcome Ericphilips.

Variable assignment is available in the parser currently, but conditionals are not. Look for major chat/command/macro/scripting updates in 1.4

Where is the docs for the current functions?
