This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

Advice on Warhammer Dice Roller (perchance.org)

I wanted to try out using Perchance for one of my hobbies which is Warhammer. Wanted to try out making a dice roller. I got the user input on how much dice they are rolling, but after that I am a bit lost. Parts I need help on are how to make them roll like 10 different dice and show the individual values, how I can add individual d+1, make affected rolls, etc. would also want to add lockable list to lock certain rolls. I know what I want to do but implementation is a bit of an issue.

thanks for the tips! the link is here(will add to the post when I have time): https://perchance.org/warhammer-dice-roll

I will try your plugin, but is there anything different which I need to note? Also could you help me see how to get the buff/debuff values to work? Lots of thanks! 😁

I would always recommend making lists like so:

output
  (Content Here)

And not like output = (Content Here). This is because there is an advanced trick to create multiline templating with it (see Perchance Snippets - Joining Items in a List with $output). But you don't have to change it right now, but for a future reference.

Next, I would recommend creating default values for each of your inputs to the plugins by adding them on your lists panel e.g.

numDice = 0
buffs = 0
debuffs = 0

This would solve the NaN problem upon first opening the generator. Other than that, I think what you have set up should be working with the changes.

@VioneT Thanks for the help! Could you also give me a sample of how to use your plugin in the context of my generator? because the current generator has a buff and debuff function which adds and minuses. there is also number of dice to roll.
