countsuccess() Function
Generates random numbers to emulate dice rolls; returns the count of dice rolls that are above a certain target number.

<source lang="mtmacro" line> countsuccess(times, sides, target) </syntaxhighlight> <source lang="mtmacro" line> success(times, sides, target) </syntaxhighlight> Parameters
times- The number of times to roll the dice.sides- The number of sides the dice possess.target- The number that a dice needs to be equal to or higher to be considered a success.
Examples
Roll twenty ten-sided dice, and return the number that are above five.
<source lang="mtmacro" line>
[t: countsuccess(20, 10, 5)]
</syntaxhighlight>
Returns a number that is between 0 and 20, which is the number of dice that rolled higher than 5.
Roll twelve six-sided dice, and return the number that are above three, using variables. <source lang="mtmacro" line> [h: DiceTimes = 12] [h: DiceSides = 6] [h: DiceSuccess = 3] [t: countsuccess(DiceTimes, DiceSides, DiceSuccess)] </syntaxhighlight>
Returns a number than is between0 and 12, which is the number of dice that rolled higher than 3.See Also
