HelpDice

Heh, if this is been covered before, Me sorry jarjar. Anyways, I would like to make a simple dice object, with a objprog that when user types "roll die numDnum" where both numbs equal a number, then the dice will roll those numbers, add it up, and display to the room.

Hmm you mean like this? Pulled from act_obj.c so not sure how it will work with your current code.
Simply do "cedit rolldie create do_rolldie" than set an item to the type "chance".



void
do_rolldie (CHAR_DATA * ch, char *argument)
{
OBJ_DATA *die;
char output_string[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char roll_string[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char total_string[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char *verb;

/*
* char* face_string = NULL; char** face_table = NULL;
*/
int rollsum = 0;
int roll_count = 0;
int numsides;
int numrolls;
bool *face_seen_table = NULL;

if (IS_NPC (ch))
{
send_to_char ("Huh?\n\r", ch);
return;
}

if ((die =
get_eq_char (ch, WEAR_HOLD)) == NULL || die->item_type != ITEM_CHANCE)
{
ch_printf (ch, "You must be holding an item of chance!\n\r");
return;
}

numrolls = (is_number (argument)) ? atoi (argument) : 1;
verb = get_chance_verb (die);
if (numrolls > 100)
{
ch_printf (ch, "You can't %s more than 100 times!\n\r", verb);
return;
}

numsides = die->value[0];
if (numsides <= 1)
{
ch_printf (ch, "There is no element of chance in this game!\n\r");
return;
}

if (die->value[3] == 1)
{
if (numrolls > numsides)
{
ch_printf (ch,
"Nice try, but you can only %s %d times.\n\r",
verb, numsides);
return;
}
face_seen_table = calloc (numsides, sizeof (bool));
if (!face_seen_table)
{
bug
("do_rolldie: cannot allocate memory for face_seen_table array, terminating.\n\r",
0);
return;
}
}

sprintf (roll_string, " ");
while (roll_count++ < numrolls)
{
int current_roll;
char current_roll_string[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];

do
{
current_roll = number_range (1, numsides);
}
while (die->value[3] == 1 && face_seen_table[current_roll - 1] == TRUE);
if (die->value[3] == 1)
face_seen_table[current_roll - 1] = TRUE;
rollsum += current_roll;
if (roll_count > 1)
strcat (roll_string, ", ");
if (numrolls > 1 && roll_count == numrolls)
strcat (roll_string, "and ");
if (die->value[1] == 1)
{
char *face_name = get_ed_number (die, current_roll);

if (face_name)
{
char *face_name_copy = strdup (face_name); /* Since
* I
* want
* to
* tokenize
* without
* modifying
* the
* original
* string
*/
sprintf (current_roll_string, "%s",
strtok (face_name_copy, "\n"));
free (face_name_copy);
}
else
sprintf (current_roll_string, "%d", current_roll);
}
else
sprintf (current_roll_string, "%d", current_roll);
strcat (roll_string, current_roll_string);
}

if (numrolls > 1 && die->value[2] == 1)
{
sprintf (total_string, ", for a total of %d", rollsum);
strcat (roll_string, total_string);
}

strcat (roll_string, ".\n\r");
sprintf (output_string, "You %s%s", verb, roll_string);
act (AT_GREEN, output_string, ch, NULL, NULL, TO_CHAR);
sprintf (output_string, "$n %s%s", verb, roll_string);
