Exploding Rollable Tables

1594358821

Edited 1594358939
I was able to figure out how to roll tables, and use success-based system instead of summing them up But is there a way for tables with a number over X to explode, just how the dice do? I've tried using the xt[TableName] with ! or !!, no matter where i put it, it doesn't work I've also tried putting the whole thing in { } brackets and then ! or !!, but same here For reference, this is how what i've got so far looks in action (the 3-Crystal die is an exploding die, but sadly I can't make it explode on it's own :/ ) Thanks in advance

There isn't. You could do something similar with the API, a Pro Subscriber perk. 
Thank you for the reply :> I'm clueless when it comes to macros/API, could you guide me in the right direction?

The short-short answer is "How well do you know Javascript?"  If you don't know the intricacies of objects and methods, then no, accept that Roll20 cannot do what you want to do.  The long answer is "Of course! Roll20 can do whatever you want it to do*." With a HUGE asterisk (nobody talks about the asterisk).  You have to write it.  Nobody has written a "one-click" script to do exactly what you want to do, so you'll have to pay for Pro, learn the API, update and modify a script that kinda does it and spend hours of debugging and play-testing to get it to do what you want it to do while in game. Yes, it can be done. It's up to you if it's worth the time and effort.

Maybe...there are a lot of Pro subscribers who are great at JS and have done a lot of this type of thing for others who aren't...in this thread is one such person who has helped me enormously with a couple scripts. (Thanks The Aaron!) :) All that being said, you can't rely on others to do it, because life circumstances change and sometimes people don't have the time and/or energy to do it for someone else, but...there is that maybe.
Thank you for the replies :> I think i'll just deal with having to manually roll the exploding dice, I'm afraid that i'm too stupid to make a working script for it even if i spend like a month on it, and I don't have that kind of time currently. Maybe one day, I'll pick it up as a hobby so like @Finderski said, I don't have to rely on others for doing my dirty work. But if someone *does* want to do my dirty work I surely wouldn't mind heh Have a good day/afternoon/evening/night everyone
