Party Loot Roller

[Ralkain]

I would like to suggest an update to the emote rod or mag glass that would allow the party leader to make a loot roll for the party.

I'm not sure how doable it is scripting wise, but it would seem possible in a game with tons of rolling .

If you ran it and weren't the party leader, it would just respond that you're not the party leader. If you were the leader, it would print out, in order of high to low roll, the roll and the character name for all to see.

It would be nice if it could appear in everyone's right/combat window so comments don't push it off the screen, but its understandable if it needs to be in the chat window so that everyone sees it.

Having it automatically break ties would also be nice, even if it just rolls behind the scenes until it gets a set without ties. If not, they occur infrequently (even less so if you have this use a number higher than D100) and the players can roll individually to break the tie.

Sounds like a plan. The core script is easy, so I have time for it, but the tie breaking would multiply the difficulty severalfold, so I'll skip it, for now at least.

the tie break could be done individually, that doesnt happen too often.

You havent seen mine and archmage's 1 deadlocks!

Well if it makes anyone feel better, my luck still sucks with the party loot roller. Funky probably did it on purpose.

Mine's a little better with the party roller. In 2 runs of 5, I went last and second which is better than my normal of none and last .

Yes, I even got none rolling a 100 for loot once, and ssth dragon loot no less. Two items in the loot and 3 of the 8 of us roll 100, guess who lost the roll off .

P.S.

Funky, will the loot roller be adjusted back? It currently doesn't put the rolls in order and puts the name of the leader to the left of all rolls making it only slightly less difficult to adjudicate as just rolling.

I figure this is just a temporary quick back out from the first method, but I'm hoping the next update will have an improved version similar to the initial request.

No, the next update will not have an improved version. Bigger stuff in the works. Putting them in order is far more difficult that you would think, since the Bioware function needed to do it the easy way (line break in a string) doesn't exist. Unless I misunderstand, it isnt putting the name of the party leader next to each roll, the engine is whe the party leader speaks it. It should be putting the name of the person rolled for nest to each roll. Is it not?

Oh, guess who got first pick in that 3-way 100 roll?

The spoken part does include each person's name. The results are also posted in the server message/combat log. At least they were the last time I used it.

[FunkySwerve]

Yes, but only the party leader can see them there. I would've done that for all members, but the only easy way I could think of involved one long string, and without a line break function it would've been a mess.
