Trying to add script to existing dice roller?

[Booplesnoots]

I have a scripted dice roller I like. I want to keep it but I want it to broadcast the the total of the roll of multiple dice. All it does is broadcast all the individual rolls in sequential order, but not the sum total of them all, which I would like it to do for DnD purposes.

Does anyone have a good script I can add and do you know where is best to add it? Or can I copy/paste it at the end? I know next to nothing about scripting aside from a bit of vocab like endgate, if/then, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help! <3

This can easily be done. You can just use broadcastToAll(varA + varB + varC) where the variables are the dice to be added. Without any code to go off, this is really all the help I can provide.

That would be great if I understood how to properly start/end the process and where to place it, assuming it needs to be placed in a certain part of the script. There is also the issue of what to place in the script for it to understand the variables it is grabbing at any given time...

Yup. Either start learning (it's not that difficult), or give us more information to work with.

I am using the scripted roller from this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025190893/myworkshopfiles/?appid=286160&browsefilter=mysubscriptions

and the broadcasting section of the script shows the pasted section below. I want to add something to make the rolled dice broadcast with a sum total at the end but I don't know what to add...

Try this... replace the 4th "block" from the bottom with...

if printResults == true then
broadcastToAll(Player[rollerColor].steam_name .. " rolled: " .. rollString.."Total:".. totalRollValue, stringColorToRGB(rollerColor))
end

If that doesn't work, I'll look at the mod itself. The mod link you gave is in your subscriptions, so it takes me to my subscriptions. What is the name of the mod?
