Dice Roller

[DarthMaximus]

Dice rolling now works:

From Djensen:

I just installed a dice roller that you can use on the boards.

To roll dice, type in the following:

<colon>dice ndm<colon>

Replace <colon> with an actual colon ":"
Replace n with the number of dice to roll.
Replace m with the number of sides per dice.

For example, this will roll 10 6-sided dice... (replace "bice" with "dice")
:bice 10d6:

Rolling 10 6-sided dice:
1, 5, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 6, 5

Infantry:

Rolling 6 6-sided dice:
5, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1

Armor:

3, 1, 4, 3

Bombers:

Do not try and edit posts with rolls in them or you will get this:

<div style="border: 1px solid #FF3333; background-color: white; padding: 0.5em;"><img src="/forums/Themes/axisandallies/dice-small.gif" border="0" alt="Dice" style="float: left;"/><b>Rolling 6 6-sided dice:</b>
1, 3, 5, 2, 1, 2</div>

Could this be modified to allow an additional parameter that would count hits for you? This would be hard to use with ADS then with big battles because you would have to count through all the 2 or lesses, etc. It might be easier for LL.

I was thinking at the very least that the list should be sorted. I'll work on it.
