I have figured out how to get a random number but have yet to figure
out how to get words? Any help?
I don't really understand what you mean. You need to be more specific.
Perhaps something like this?
set theDie to "one two three four five six"
some word of theDie
I have a dice handler that may help:
on doRoll(NumRolls, NumDice, NumSides, NumModifier)
--NumRolls = How many times to make this roll, returning each total
seperately
--NumDice = How many times to roll this die, adding up the total
--NumSides = How many sides the die has
--NumModifier = A modifier to add to or subtract from the total
--Parameters (4, 2, 6, 1) will roll a six-sided die twice, adding the
result, then adding 1 to the total, and then repeats it for a total of
4 times, returning each result in a list.
--For instance, a Yahtzee roll would be (5, 1, 6, 0), to roll 5
six-sided dice.
-- Resets the RollResult
set RollResult to {}
-- Do the roll
repeat NumRolls times
set RollSubTotal to 0
repeat NumDice times
set RollSubTotal to RollSubTotal + (random number from 1 to NumSides)
end repeat
-- Places the resulting RollSubTotal with Modifier at the end of the
RollResult and repeats if necessary.
set RollResult to RollResult & (RollSubTotal + NumModifier)
end repeat
return RollResult
end doRoll
Shrug,
