Title: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 13-09-2009
Make a dice script so anyone can set up a betting booth?
such as /roll (then number of die) (then number of die sides?) such as (/roll 3 12)

Make it easier for people to make money if they wish, and give people a job?

Like when you type /roll 2 6  its rolls a 4 and 5 and it says it aloud for everyone to see.

/roll would be easy to make, can't believe no ones suggested it before.

I recommend it too.

ya, i made it before in java script, but that was just a mini program, and i dont know how to use lua, and how to make ing garrysmod worthy.

i think i saw it once a year or 2 ago on a server

Garrysmod uses Lua scripting.

If this works we'll all become addicted gamblers >__>

ya i know it uses lua, i said that ^_^

i already had a guy lose 2k RU to me when i just had dice next to me in RL

anyways how i did that was, there was three ways of betting, odds/evens, total, and exact.

Odds/Evens: betting weither the total of the numbers on the die are odds or even, you win 2x what you bet.

total:  betting weither the numbers on the dice added together will be, you win 3x what you bet

Exact: you bet on the exact number on each die. Such as a 2 and a 1, or 6 and a 6, or 4 and a 3, you win 5x what you bet.

It's not a bad idea, i can see people roleplaying in the bar, for money, by rolling dice.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: Locke on 14-09-2009
It could turn into an addiction, stifling roleplay.

Gambling does that.

No, being addicted to gambiling  in game would just add another facet to your character.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: Madcombat on 14-09-2009
We had this in Shhh, it caused alot of arguements, I think it should be used for only Gamb, and not attacking people.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 14-09-2009
how do you attack people with dice...?

but you saying that gives me a idea, when the script/ or if, is made, ima rob someone, and if they plz dont!  ima be like, ok then leave ur fate up to the godly dice! evens, you escape freely, odds u get robbed, and a 7 you die!
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: Paintcheck on 14-09-2009
The "attack" idea would be so people wouldn't power game everything. Like you'd do /me attempts to eat your face and roll, and the other guy would do /me attempts to avoid getting face eaten and roll and whoever has the higher number gets to do their action. Seems unnecessary in that regard though, most people are good about not power gaming.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: Zarrick on 14-09-2009
Nah, Dice-rolling is dumb. I can litterally do this.
/me picks up an axe, swinging it at your neck

If I roll the right number, your dead.

Also /me shoots an incredibly slow motion pistol at the enemy
(Not real, but its an example)

If they dont roll high enough, there hit.

It gets rid of fairness and equal RPing, but so does powergaming, this is litterally an allowed Powergaming method in my opinion. But for Gambling RP, yeah! Lets do it 8O!!

That's just DnD.

People should be able to RP without the need of forcing them to do something.

i find that just stupid... that someone would decide a agreement with dice..
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script

I vote no on a dice system.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 14-09-2009
Then just have it be used for gambling?  what i wanted it for anyways
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: Chrono on 14-09-2009
i Agree with a Dice system used to gambling,not some kind of Dungeons and Dragons RP
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script

Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script

^ What he said.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: KillSlim on 15-09-2009
And for '/me Attempts bla bla' situations.' Odd = Attempt failed. Even = Attempt successful.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 15-09-2009
no, thats exactly what we dont want, gambling only, end of story, you turn the game into a board game if you do that

It would sort out fights. /roll doesn't need to be constantly used, it can used to sort out small scenarios and situations, like close-quarters combat and such, to see who's successful.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 15-09-2009
no, im suggesting it for IC use, not OOC, if 2 or more people arnt mature enough to settle such matters, then they should not be joining those kind of situations. i would just turn the ame into a board game type play.

when i said this i ment it for IC use, being alot of my characters are based of my personality, it would be just like my to put a persons destiny on a dice roll, of course id give them the chance to be robbed or die first. but the dice roll would be a IC thing. not OOC

Look if there was a blood sucker, and a stalker, and they rolled, the chances are the same, its stupid and unfair, its abit if you understand like. /roll /me dodges a bullet correctly. If you get what I mean.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: Paintcheck on 15-09-2009
I agree with the above. THis is RP not an RPG. Know your characters limits and RP fairly. If you can't do that without the aid of something this artificial then you shouldn't be playing here.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 15-09-2009
exactly, so i vote yes for it, everyone after this vote, say no or yes for it in your replys.

The dice could also serve as a good tool for solving disputes that neither side wants to loose.

BUT THE DICE AR In-Character, not ooc, for it to be used that way, the dice would have to be both IC, and OOC...

If people can't settle a dispute without the use of dice they are probably both powergaming.

+support, I trust the dealer but this is waaaaaay too easy to fuck someone over on. If it's completely up to you, then it's giving the dealer more reason to be mistrusted.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 16-09-2009
no, when you type /roll 2 6 *example* say say to everyone near the outcome, no cheating then

Yeah? So? You can use it for OOC and IC? It's not a hard thing to do.
Title: Re: Maybe make a dice script
Post by: keyfoot on 17-09-2009
its not hard, but stupid, when you start mixing ooc and IC u get metagaming, and other shit.

No no! You dont mix the IC with OOC, you simply use the dice to justify the outcome of the rp, so if it was like, a stand still, both people have guns on eachother, neither wana pull last, you roll dice, or as in flip a coin, to see who shoots the other first.
