Hello. This is the first time I’ve posted here, and I know little to nothing about Java, but am hoping someone can nevertheless answer this question. There is a pretty common script for a Java dice roller available, but when rolling multiple dice, it simply adds their results and answers with a single number. For purposes of roleplaying games it is important to view the separate values for each die, and I was wondering if anyone know how this could be done. Thank you very much.
(This is the original code for the dice roller. If someone could explain to me how, or better yet, alter this code to show the individual results, I would greatly appreciate it.):
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
var die = 6;
var dice = 3;
function dice_roll(die, dice) {
var roll = 0;
for (loop=0; loop < dice; loop++) {
//roll = roll + Math.round(Math.random() * die) % die + 1;
}
document.form.text.value = roll;
}
// End –>
</script>
