Nested Inline Rolls Update

"We've just pushed out an update to the API Server which brings the dice engine up to date with the new Nested Inline Rolls update which rolled out today. So this permits you to create rolls which include nested inline rolls on the API Server." So this seems like I should be excited but my brain is not comprehending what it means... can anyone toss out an example so that I can truly be excited about it :)

Nested inline rolls are like: [[ d20 + [[@{dex-bonus}]] ]] it hides the calculations for the nested part of the roll so you see: [[d20 + 3]] instead of [[d20 + floor(dex/2 -5)]] Hope that helps. edit: they've been working on standard rolls for a while now, but the API had issues with them.  Now it shouldn't.  (Yay!!!!)

This is way cool, and so much easier to read!!

ok, i gotcha. Thanks!

In particular, it means that scripts which expand attributes to build rolls for you will now work with nested inline rolls.  I.e.: GroupInitiative!

The Aaron said: In particular, it means that scripts which expand attributes to build rolls for you will now work with nested inline rolls.  I.e.: GroupInitiative! I read that!  Thanks Aaron.  Time to go break GroupInitiative, again. Xp

Ha! Bring it Vince!  GroupInitiative should work fine since you already were breaking it on the Dev server a month ago. Only scripts that make heavy use of the rolls via the API will get broken.
