So to start off, I get the concept of macros but by the time I get off work and get the house stuff done, my brain is too foggy to learn code. So, I'm asking for help in doing something I literally have no idea how to phrase in computerese. The OVA system rolls are different than of most systems. I need a way to roll an input specified number of d6, then instead of adding them all for a sum total, I need to break the roll down and combine any matching rolls to make a higher number, then keep only the highest matching set. Example. I roll 6d6 and get 1 6 4 3 4 1 - the two ones get added together to make 2, and the two fours get added together to make 8. 8 is the highest result, so it's my keeper. I get the kh for keeping the 8, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to ask a computer to add similar numbers together within a roll. This type of roll is the basis of the OVA system, any bonuses or penalties affect how many dice are rolled rather than affecting the final number. Now, I don't strictly NEED a macro script to be able to play with my group, since the dialog lets us know how many of what was rolled anyway - but I won't be able to use any of the other macros for initiative or beating a difficulty if I can't get the basic roll in a macro. For all I know, this is an impossible task. But I think I'm just not taking the right angle on this. I haven't tried to run a macro since my early college days in IRC where "/me slaps you with a fish" was still funny. Any help at all would be appreciated. I'm feeling very out of my league here, but it never hurts to ask.
