Community Forums: [Script] Rolling Formatting Changer

1373313917

I have created a script to change the formatting of the roller. This makes it easier to read on gms and players I think, and adds a level of customization to the game.  To use it, type !r and then your roll as normal. I have also included a screen print:  The colors are all custumizable as you see fit in the indicated global variables. It's namespaced to allow for the best usage with other scripts. Here is the link:  <a href="https://gist.github.com/DarokinB/5952022" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/DarokinB/5952022</a>

I do have one question though. I have also applied this to a script where I take /r or /roll commands and reformat them, and it works perfectly. The problem is that it would then double roll, once with the standard format and once with my format.  Is there a way to interrupt a chat from someone, delete or change the content as we see fit, and then send it out? Or only api commands?

That is fucking awesome if you can find a way to get rid of the double roll. Does this work on all roll commands? Like if I type /roll {2d6+1d8}KH2, will it work?

Thanks. It will work with all rolls the system takes. If you use !r instead or /r, it works fine.

hey josh - more good work. only thing I would like to ask is adding an option to put the total of the roll first, with the 'math' at the end so it would look more like this 18 = [ 1d20 = ( 6 ) ] + 5 + 6 + 1 + 0 (or whatever your personal macros work into the roll) possible? I haven't looked into roll formatting as yet, Working on learning more Javascript and making arrays work, so I'm not sure on that one...

Correct michael, I have to add a gm roll option, but there is a problem with that, as the /direct function does not include whispers (as far as I can tell). I will need to play around with it. Because I included notes, it will get pretty messy if the damage is first, but it certainly is possible to change it to whatever order you like.

Josh, This may seem a simple question, but I (as an API n00b) can't seem to figure it out on my own: How do I get the blue-bordered dice rolls to display on a single line, rather than two lines? I'd prefer to see: 1d10 = (3) rather than the current: 1d10=    (3) I've tried changing font sizes, etc.... Halp?

instead of using the /r command, just type it in double brackets. i.e. [[d20+4]]. I'm pretty sure it only works on the dev server ATM though..,.
