100-sided Dice Script

[Bolkral Steerpike]

I've seen some other assistance here before, but to ensure I properly understand, I thought I would ask again. I am trying to create a relatively simple dice script that will use modifiers, and roll a 100-sided dice randomly.

All the script really needs to do is to randomly generate the number, so long as it won't also generate a 0 - as a 0 wouldn't make sense for the games in which the dice would be used, and say whom rolled it in local chat. (eg. "<player name> has rolled a 54.")

 

Can anyone help? Thanks a lots :)

default{  state_entry() {}  touch_start(integer num)  {     string player = llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0));     integer roll = (integer)(llFrand(100.0)+1);     llSay(0, llGetRegionName() + ": " + player + " rolled a " + (string)roll);  }}

Instaed of llKey2Name you could use llGetDisplayName.

@ron: i could but i am anti-display names with stupid characters you cant read, so never use them in scripts

Thanks so much for the help! I really appreciate it. Though I do have a question!

 

If on touch I wanted it to say <sim name> <player name> rolled a <dice number>, how would I modify the script?

 

Would it just be:

 

default{  state_entry() {}  touch_start(integer num)  {     string player = llGetDisplayName(llDetectedKey(0));     integer roll = (integer)(llFrand(100.0)+1);     llSay(0, "sim name" + player + " rolled a " + (string)roll);  }}

Is there a version if I DON"T want it to say the sim name?

I'll give you a clue:-

     llSay(0, llGetRegionName() + ": " + player + " rolled a " + (string)roll);

 Which part (separated by a + ) probably includes the sim name?

[Rolig Loon]

Umm....   remove the sim name, maybe?

I really would advise you to reconsider that.   All accounts created in the last two or three years have the new style names, and most of the users hate them, particularly now it's getting harder and harder to find a sensible sounding one that's not been taken.   I certainly dislike seeing scripted objects chatting about Joe123 Resident.

I've used llGetDispayName(id) almost since it came out, on the argument that if people have bothered to set a display name, it's probably what they want to be called, and people seem to like it.   My impression is that, while we obviously notice and remember the stupid unicode confections, the great majority of display names I see, both on sims and in busy groups, are sensible enough.
