Traditional dice
A traditional die - a cube marked on each of its six faces with a different number of circular patches. For simple amusement or gambling roleplay.
Cantr II is a social simulator. What is not working is due a problem in the society.
Cantr is like Vegas - what happens in the game should be in the game.

Couldn't it be like 'play music' and then show;
You see a ... in his/her ...ies throw a dice.
Or like;
You see a ... in his/her ...ies throw a dice, it lands on {random number 1-6).
?
Of course I am not really a great programmer, so I have no idea how it is being put into the game.

Yeah, if so called rp items had some sort of a type marker that could be referenced in code, it wouldn't be that hard to edit the play music script to link to several options but with the pipes Elros wanted to have a new button that says smoke, and most likely now you'd want a new button that says roll or has a picture of dice on it. I have no idea how to add new buttons to the game and most likely I'm not even authorized to do that. I think if there was a new category called dice and also one called pipes or smoking products then the play music script could probably reference to the category, but it would probably use the play music graphic before someone tells me how graphics are added or changed. I don't think we should have a separate graphic (or a separate script) for each type of rp item, the play music button should just be changed to something more abstract like use this item (I think the alt text can still be what ever we like).

I don't see any problem with having it give a random number. Would allow for a lot of roleplay scenarios.
"Roll the dice, and the number you throw is the number of fingers you are allowed to keep."

On one or both hands?
You see ... throw a dice, it lands on '6'.
You say: "Roll the dice, and the number you throw is the number of fingers you are allowed to keep on your left hand."

You mean the problem of throwing them? As their is no "use item" function in cantr other than to make a "project" (where "throw a die" sounds as a strange project).

I hope this wasn't the nonsense that some people like to bring up, that computer generated random numbers are actually pseudorandom, and therefore not "true" as in "allowed for online-casinos" random number generation. If thats the case, and I know the people who like to complain about it, its utter nonsense. Normal calls to random() are by far random enough for any normal application/game.
