Dice Function?

Does the API have a pre-made dice function of some sort or are we stuck using something like this function I've been using: function getRandomInt(min, max) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) + min); } Can anyone tell me if there is a dice rolling function built into the API?

randomInteger(100) or whatever the dice number is in the parentheses. This doesn't roll dice in game though, and mousing over an output won't show the dice type. Maybe there's a way for that, but this is what I've been using.

Also, of note. This uses the same quantumroll as doing a dice roll in chat. I'd recommend giving the API wiki a thorough read

In truth, Math.random() in the api is backed by the same thing as randomInteger(), but the latter is preferred. You can also send formulas to sendChat() and use the callback to get their result.
