[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6197420, member: 1"] Incidentally, there's new functionality currently being worked on, as requested by @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=2525"]Mistwell[/URL][/U][/B][/I] : [B]Using variables in table rolls.[/B] Now, this turned out to be more difficult than expected, since we hadn't designed the original setup with that in mind - and nobody thought of it until Mistwell mentioned it! So we've had to create a workaround. Instead of using a variable directly in the table roll field (e.g. 3d6 + $level), which we're not able to do without some [I]massive[/I] restructuring, we're adding a new way of calling a table. This second way of calling a table (format yet to be decided) will call the table as normal, but [I]will not[/I] roll on it. Instead, it will use a predetermined variable (which you have already defined or gathered elsewhere) and simply insert it. So you'll make your table roll separately, then call the table and tell it to use that number. If that number results in an invalid result (higher or lower than the table range), you get an INVALID RESULT outpout in its place in your generator. So. You could do this: Input $level as a user variable {$roll: {$level+{3d6}}} Call table {Morrus:WildernessEncounters} and use the value of $roll instead of rolling on it For that third line, we've yet to implement the formatting. We might use square brackets. It's slightly less elegant than desired, but the amount of restructuring we'd need to do it the obvious way is quite significant. [/QUOTE]
