Roll vs Item Roll

I doubt I cna be of much help atm 😅

[fathom raven]

Thank you Zhell.

Yeah, that's the definition of evaluate. You said prototype, so I got confused checking the actual prototype.

I reached evaluate when I was following the trail of what rollAttack does. I was looking for the options for item rolls, which end up being the same options as Roll (or mostly, apparently)

[median girder]

the main question is what options does rollAttack provide?

which system are we working with?

[floral stream]

5e is the system

And yes, the options for rollAttack would help

[median girder]

ok, so rollAttack provides a fast forward at least

what are you trying to do again?

[floral stream]

But of course, a way to find the options for any roll would be even better, as I expect to keep working with rolls for a bit

[fathom raven]

Ignoring pedantic comments like #shadowrun-5e or #dnd5e
You'd want to do the same for item.rollAttack (where item is a defined item document) to get the options for that

[fathom raven]

Method to get the options should be identical

[uncut onyx]

rollAttack just passes every option given to it to d20roll. It does nothing with them on its own.

[fathom raven]

Afaik the goal was to get the available options

[floral stream]

Well, it would be, right? But evaluate only shows minimize, maximize and async. I still haven't checked the constructor for Roll, but maybe there's a comment there with more info

(sorry, I'm a bit slow typing)

[uncut onyx]

... other than options.event.

[fathom raven]

Yes don't check evaluate check the next closest function it expanda on which would be d20roll

[floral stream]

The reason I started asking is because I didn't want to have to track all of the roll functions to see the options. I thought it would be in the docs. Or an unofficial list somewhere

[fathom raven]

And follow the rabbit hole from.there

[median girder]

are we just exploring the source code, or is there a particular goal?

because the options parameter serves many purposes

[floral stream]

The initial goal was to prevent a message roll from reaching the chat (chatMessage does it). But I have more work to do with rolls, so I went to check the docs.

Since I found no list, I came here to ask

And here we are

I'll study the code and figure out what I need from there

Thanks, everyone!

gotchya, so, chat messages can be supressed via temporary: true (iirc) as part of its options

[fathom raven]

System documentation != Core api doc

[median girder]

(that is a chat message option, btw)

rollAttack can be fast forwarded, and have adv/disadv set

can you suppress a chat message generated from rollAttack ? I am not sure, but I know you can get the attack expression from the item as well, so you could roll it yourself and specifically not generate a chat message if not

[floral stream]

Yes

[median girder]

that's the functionality i know of off the top of my head, but to get a complete list, you will need to walk through the call stack and inspect how the options argument is used at each step

[floral stream]

OK

I'll do that

Thanks, @median girder

[median girder]

let us know if you have any troubles, the options argument is heavily overloaded and can be a bit tricky to figure out at times

[uncut onyx]

Yes, it takes chatMessage: false

It just returns a D20Roll.
