Anitarf	Under Integer and Real functions, there's a function called "math - random number". That gives you a random number. You can set a variable to it, for example, "set rndNum = math - random number between 1 and 100".

make a interger Variable called "Dice" when the trigger to roll the dice is done have the following actions.

Code:

Actions
    Set Dice = (Random integer number between X and Y)
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        If - Conditions
            Dice Greater than Z
        Then - Actions
           (Insert Actions Here)
        Else - Actions
           (Insert Actions Here)

Replace X, Y and Z with numbers of your choice.

Billy_Cat	the Dice variable has an index next to it.. what should the index equal btw: im trying to make a board game, and Im having trouble thinking how to make it so that when someone is on a space and rolls the dice he moves up that number of spaces on the board..
