Problem with expression and 'c' operator about diceparser HOT 4 CLOSED

I will say it is normal but diceparser should display warning when you run this kind of command.

The C operator computes how many dice fit the condition. It is useless on scalar number.

The main issue with this command is that !d20+3 as for final result a number, when "!d20" has a dice result array as final result.

!d20c[>0]+3 works.
I don't know what you want to do but I think the If operator may help you. As It can compare any kind of result.

Hi obiwankennedy thanks for your answer that helped me to sourt out the problem!
I'd like to explain what I'm trying to obtain:
I used (wrongly) this form because my goal is to 'script' on a single roll a hit to roll and if enemy is hit to roll the damage.
This what I was trying to do:

!d20+3c[>11]; d10+3; $2*$3; "damage inflicted is: $4"

this should ouput 0 if enemy is missed (it has AC 12) otherwise d10+3 damage is displayed.

I could use the

!d20c[>8]+3

but is not optimal because I've to recalculate condition to be hit (from >11 to >8).

Maybe I'm doing in the wrong way there is a more convenient way to obtain this?

from diceparser.

The command you want to do is this:

!1d20+3;$1i:[>11]{1d10+3}{0};"inflicted damage: $2 details:[%2]"

First instruction, I roll the dice and add 3.
Second instruction, I compare the result of the first instruction to 11 and if it is greater I roll damage (1d10+3) or return 0 otherwise.
Then, I finally print out the result.

Be careful, that the default parameter of 1 in d10 does not work inside if instruction.
So, it is important to write {1d10+3}; because {d10+3} won't work.

Thanks a lot for the solution!
