rollAddWithUpper

rollAddWithUpper() Function

Generates random numbers to emulate dice rolls. The add parameter is added to each die and all intermediate results that are then higher than the maximum parameter are replaced with that value instead. The total is returned.

Usage

rollAddWithUpper(times, sides, add, maximum)

Parameters

• times - The number of times to roll the dice.
• sides - The number of sides the dice possess.
• add - The number to add to each die roll.
• maximum - The maximum value (after the addition) that each individual die can contribute to the total.

Examples

Roll five twenty-sided dice. Add 6 to each. Any value now higher than 18 is treated as 18.

[t: rollAddWithUpper(5, 20, 6, 18)]

Returns a number that is between 35 and 90 (and no longer 5 to 100 as with a regular 5d20 roll).
