DiceEngine - Simple DiceRoller
by ThePat02
DiceEngine
DiceEngine is a simple Dice Roller for the Godot Engine 4.x written in `GDScript`!
Features
- Roll any number of dice with any number of sides
- Perform and check the results of
DiceCheckresources that can represent skill checks in your game
Installation
Method 1: Copy the addons/dice_engine folder into your addons folder in your Godot project.
Method 2: Install it directly from the AssetLib in the Godot Editor.
Usage
All functionalities are documented in the in-game documentation. You can access it by pressing F1 in the Godot Editor and searching for DiceEngine or DiceCheck.
Dice Singleton
This plugin automatically adds a new Dice singleton to your project. You can access it from any script using something like this:
# Rolls 2 six-sided dice and returns the sum
var result_sum: int = Dice.roll(2, 6) # 2d6
# Rolls 3x 4 six-sided dice and returns the sum results in an array
var result_multiple: Array[int] = Dice.roll_multiple(3, 4, 6) # 3x 4d6 DiceEngine
The core of this plugin is the DiceEngine class. It provides all the functionality to roll dice and gather the results. It has the following enums, methods and signals:
class_name DiceEngine extends Node
## A simple dice engine that can roll dice with a certain number of sides and amount,
## and return the result in different ways.
## Emitted when a dice roll is performed.
signal rolled_dice(result: int, dice_results: Array[int], dice_amount: int, dice_sides: int, roll_type: RollType)
## Predefined dice types using the DX notation, with X being the number of sides.
enum DiceType {
D4 = 4,
D6 = 6,
D8 = 8,
D10 = 10,
D12 = 12,
D20 = 20,
D100 = 100,
}
## The type of roll to perform.
enum RollType {
SUM, ## Default. The sum of all dice results.
HIGHEST, ## The highest result.
LOWEST, ## The lowest result.
AVERAGE, ## The average result.
}
## Rolls a number of dice with a certain number of sides.
func roll(amount: int, sides: int, roll_type: RollType = RollType.SUM) -> int
## Rolls a number of dice with a certain number of sides multiple times.
func roll_multiple(times: int, amount: int, sides: int, roll_type: RollType = RollType.SUM) -> Array[int]
DiceCheck Resource
Using the DiceCheck resource, you can save perform dice roll checks (or more specifically, skill checks) and gather the results. I suggest, using this to store custom rolls inside your own skill check resource! It has the following properties and methods:
class_name DiceCheck extends Resource
## A simple dice check that can be used to compare the result of a dice roll with a certain value.
## The results of the dice check.
enum DiceCheckResult {
SUCCESS,
FAILURE
}
## The type of check to perform.
var type: CheckType = CheckType.GREATER_THAN
## The value to compare the dice roll with.
var value: int = 10
## The amount of dice to roll.
var dice_amount: int = 1
## The number of sides on the dice to roll.
var dice_sides: int = 20
## The type of roll to perform.
var roll_type: DiceEngine.RollType = DiceEngine.RollType.SUM
## Performs a dice check and returns the result.
func check() -> DiceCheckResultLicense
