API/Macro Crit Hit/Miss

Ok so in my game I use a d6 and D4 when my players crit hit or crit miss. So what I want to do is make it where my players when they roll a 20 or a 1 on the d20 roll, automatically roll a d6 and a d4. I have worked on a macro for this and although it allows for even a reroll for a 1 or a 20 it rerolls the 20, not the d6 and d4? Any ideas????

That sounds like something you could even do in a macro, but I haven't played with macros much yet. But the API can do this easily. Can you describe the exact process, are the d6 and d4 used to look something up on a table or just extra to hit/damage? Because the API could do more than just roll another die. The user would type in the chat window something like !jdice. The script would then roll a d20, if its a 1 or a 20 it rolls another set of dice. Then it outputs the results to chat window. It can say critical hit or miss, show the numbers, anything you like. If someone else doesn't get to this before tonight I'll write something up. But get me the exact mechanics of what you want done. Is this a game system I could read up on or just something you custom do? The script can do anything (almost) you want it to so may as well do as much as it can for you instead of just an extra roll, unless that simply all you want. :)
Konrad the d6 and d4 refer to a table I have found that I like using in the case of a crit miss or a crit hit. It would just be one less set of die rolls for my players if it was set up where the api could address that. <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/view/ylyot5nidl2/Crit+and+Fumble+Chart.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediafire.com/view/ylyot5nidl2/Crit+and+Fumble+Chart.pdf</a> this is the actual chart I use, it is clean and simple and adds to the experience of a fail or success. We are playing 4E D&D and having a blast. We just learned about macros and how to really use them and are trying to incorporate more stuff into the game to make it not easier but more expedient and some of the stuff the players come up with it is just awesome. Konrad thanks so much for your help I cannot wait to see what you come up with. If you have any questions let me know, I so appreciate your help.

Konrad thanks so much for your help I cannot wait to see what you come up with. If you have any questions let me know, I so appreciate your help. I can do that easy. It will tell you if you have a crit hit or fumble and what the result is all automatically. Shouldn't be a problem. I just spent half the day updating my Edge of Empire Graphic dice. Probably won't get to this little project until late tonight of Sunday some time. Off t dinner at a friends. What should we call this little project? James Dice? :)
Konrad that would be amazing, thank you so much. James Crits?
