Ruleset Wizard - The new Ruleset development environment

in this line:

local nResult = rRoll.aDice[1].result;

you are "capturing" the rRoll.aDice[1].result and storing it as nResult.

I dont know if that description uses the correct terms - Im no programmer!

Have a look at the rest of the output from the Debug

Also - regarding aDice - that is an array.
It stores several pieces of information about each dice that was thrown - the dice size and the dice result and the dice value (one of which you can manipulate) and dice type and expression and it stores it for each dice thrown. The first dice is known as aDice[1] and the second dice is aDice[2]

Anyway your modifiers are not stored in the aDice part - but they are there elsewhere in the rRoll data

try doing things like

Debug.chat("nBonuses: ", rRoll.nBonuses);
Debug.chat("s'nMod: ", rRoll.s'nMod);
Debug.chat("s'sType: ", rRoll.s'sType);

etc

Then work out what you need to do next...

This vid describes what I am wanting to do, does it not? Apply the mod to the target number before the roll. All I will need to do is edit and add the top half of your script from AAF and retain the nResult portion from mine.

What you are looking for is something like this:

local nDamage = 0;
for _,v in ipairs(rRoll.aDice) do
	nDamage = nDamage + v.result;
end
nDamage = nDamage + rRoll.nMod +rRoll.nBonuses;

but you should try to follow my nudges above to increase understanding of why this works or is needed.

[greybeardgunner70]

Nudges followed, videos reviewed, other rulesets perused. Still a blindfolded drunk in a knife fight. I have an understanding of some LUA phrasing. But its like knowing what taco, hacienda and pantalones mean and trying to say in spanish "While wearing my red pants, I ate tacos at the house."

share your damage script please.

[greybeardgunner70]

Its not a damage script, its my managerRolls skill roll. Here's what I am experimenting with so far:

function Skill(rSource, rTarget, rRoll)
Debug.chat("rRoll: ", rRoll);

local sModDesc, nMod = ModifierStack.getStack(true);

local nSkillScore = tonumber(rRoll.SkillScore);
Debug.chat("nSkillScore: ", nSkillScore);

local nTarget = nSkillScore + nMod;
Debug.chat("nTarget: ", nTarget);

local nResult = rRoll.aDice[1].result;
Debug.chat("nResult: ", nResult);

local sResult = '';

if nResult > nSkillScore then

if nResult % 5 == 0 then
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Critical Failure ";
else
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Marginal Failure ";
end
else
if nResult % 5 == 0 then
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Critical Success ";
else
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Marginal Success ";
end
end

local rMessage = ActionsManager.createActionMessage(rSource, rRoll);

rMessage.text = rMessage.text .. sResult;
Comm.deliverChatMessage(rMessage);

return true
end

also post the output from the Debug.chat("rRoll: ", rRoll);

[greybeardgunner70]

It will find the SkillScore and the nMod, it just wont do the math. nSkillScore + nMod

[damned]

better also post a screen shot too
