D6 conversion.

D6 Conversion

Alright, I think I have finally found a use for the /roll system. Gambling! Namely, dice games. Alright, so how it would work is between X and X is 1. Here is the chart I figured using the fact that 100/6 = 16.66666666666666
1-17 = 1
18-34 = 2
35-51 = 3
52-68 = 4
69-85 = 5
86-100 = 6

But here is the problem, if you /roll 86-100, It's slightly less of a chance (eg. 1-17 = 17 where 86-100 = 16). A simple fix is avoid things where 6 less chance can unbalance the game
Note: Yes, I realize gambling is illegal, in the HL2 universe. IÂ’m just putting this out there.

Sounds good!
I may be mistaken but is the dice OOC?
Also, do you mean that Gambling is illegal IRL or IC?

You got the problem with 96 because you didn't round it up.
Learn to read, he says you can roll again. And the problem was 100/6 = 16.6666* so he didn't make it 100.

If i round it up to 17, 17x6 is 102. So there would be less of a chance to get sixes. Which may sort of make sense, because in general 6 is better, but dice have 6, equal sides. so no. Also, changed yellow to... eh.... green?

And to this:

I am not sure I understand, but the /roll command rolls a number 0-100. The dice are an IC item you'd pretend you rolled. Then, for each dice you roll you would use /roll, and use the chart up there. If I misunderstood, tell me. And it's illegal in the game is what I meant.

Updated to be simpler and most evenly distributed. I also approve of this now.
