Shadowrun 4E Dice Mechanic

How would you enter a dice rolling mechanic for SR4? "/roll xd6>4" will count the number of successes but how do you make it also count the number of dice that roll 1's (or "glitches")?

What happens when you roll a glitch? - Gauss
If it is a normal glitch then something bad happens. A critical glitch is something really bad. Called "fumbles" in other games.
It is possible to succeed at something but still roll a normal glitch. Example, roll 6 dice and get 3 or 4 1's and 2 successes.

So you just keep track of the number of 1's? - Gauss
No... you keep track of the 5's and 6's (successes/hits) AND the 1's. If you roll more than half the dice pool in 1's but you still get a success then it is a normal glitch. If you roll more than half the dice pool in 1's but get NO successes then it is a critical glitch. Long story short. Needs to count the number of dice that are >=5 and also count the number of dice that are = 1. Is it possible to get two outputs in a formula?

Ahhhh, unfortunately I think you will need to add up the number of 1s yourself. I do not see a way for the Dice roller to check for multiple levels of successes. On the plus side, 1's are highlighted red so should be easy to count up. - Gauss
