Advice on Warhammer Dice Roller

perchance.org Warhammer Dice Roller ― Perchance Generator

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.

I would recommend looking at the dice-plugin, which allows you to input dice notations: 2d6 and do arithmetic to it e.g. 2d6+3 etc. Unfortunately, you cannot get the individual dice values.

I would also like to plug my plugin: random-dice-icon-plugin which acts a little bit like the dice-plugin but you can access individual values, the sum of values, and it has icons (although it doesn't support the arithmetic directly e.g. 2d6+3).

For locking the randomized values, I would recommend looking into the locker-plugin which can allow you to lock certain items from randomizing.

Feel free to send the link to your generator if you need help with it 🤗
- 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.
