Putting Doubleclickable Dicerolls into Extensions

Okay, I think I've now got this working ...

In the extension.xml, register the script as another name

Code: 

<script name="ChatDice" file="scripts/chatdice.lua" />

Put the dice rolling routines in a separate script file (called chatdice.lua). Call "ChatManager.control" rather than just "control".


Code:

-- Joshuha - Auto Dice Rolling -- 

function dieCheck(type, bonus, name)
  if ChatManager.control then
    local dice = {};
    table.insert(dice, type);
    ChatManager.control.throwDice("dice", dice, bonus, name);
  end
end


-- Ian M Kirby - Added die roller for multiple dice 

function diceCheck(number, type, bonus, name)
  if ChatManager.control then
    local dice = {};
    for i = 1, number, 1 do
      table.insert(dice, type);
    end
    ChatManager.control.throwDice("dice", dice, bonus, name);
  end
end


When calling the code, use ChatDice rather than ChatManager.

Code: 

ChatDice.diceCheck(2, "d6", dieMod + getValue(), dieLabel);
