Hello all
i've been looking through the API scripts for a simple script, but can't quite find what i'm looking for. What i need is a script that rolls a d10, and then displays a web hosted image depending on the result, as well as listing who rolled it. It's sort of similar to the table roller, but i want an image displayed, as well as detail as to who rolled it. Are there any examples i can customise?
Cheers
Chris
I believe you can do that without the API if you use a link shortened that lets you pick the url ending:
[x](https://some.link.shortener/some_preface_[[1d10]]#.png)
You could also set up a Rollable Table and use RecursiveTable to make the result look nice.
If those don't work? It would take a custom script with the URLs in it, which I can probably help with.
As it's got to be random, i'm not sure the first option would be suitable. Modifying the Rollable table was my first thought, but i know enough to be dangerous, and frankly i'm not good enough to know how to insert the name of the roller, nor to have it reference a able not listed in the game. Hosting images is easy enough of course, and i've been looking over other scripts to see how they do it - most are too tied in with other concepts for me to separate out however
The person who rolls it will be listed with the chat message. In the first case, the [[1d10]] will get expanded to a number, so you just need to have 10 urls with https://blah.blah.bla/some_preface_1, etc.
If neither of those is satisfactory, I can probably help you make a script for it.
I'd want whatever it is to be simple, so that my players can just type the simplest of commands and we get a result ideally. How complex is making a script for this?
You can put Aaron's code above into a macro and make it usable by all players. They can then just push a button on the macro bar or type #nameOfMacro in chat.
Not hard:
on('ready',()=>{
const imageList=[

];
on('chat:message',msg=>{
if('api'===msg.type && /^!random-image(\b\s|$)/i.test(msg.content)){
let who = (getObj('player',msg.playerid)||{get:()=>'API'}).get('_displayname');
sendChat('',`<div><h3>${who}</h3><img src="${imageList[randomInteger(imageList.length)-1]}" /></div>`);
}
});
});
!random-image
That all seems to work perfectly for what i need - i'll have a play around and come back if i hit a brick wall, but if not, thanks so much for your help!
