Hi, I'm kinda new to Scratch and I was building a project for Dungeons and Dragons. For the project, you were supposed to cast a protection spell by rolling 2 die to get 13 or higher. Here's the screenshot because I'm not that good at making forum posts.

It doesn’t look like you receive the broadcast 10 sides die or ever send the broadcasts fireball equal or continue text and the first question is only asked at the beginning of the game. It should probably ask whenever you shoot a fireball. The 2 questions can just be asked in one script one after the other then it can calculate the answer in the same script too. You also could just not ask them to roll dice and have dice rolls happen automatically without the player even knowing about them. As such too you could just roll one 30 sided die but maybe you want the d and d feel. In which case have them all in one script and to be greater than or equal to 13 just have it be greater than 12 which naturally includes 13.

Thank you so much!

I actually have one other question. Is there a block for (number) or higher?

If you have integer values then x > 9 tells you it is 10 or more. Is that what you mean?

Not really, but there is a workaround:

<<[] = [13]> or <[] > [13]>>

((((((((((((drained infinity :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey) :: grey)

or

<not <[] < [13]>>

Doesn't work.

That's not how to use the blocks you've been given. You have a sum which you want to compare with a value. So

<<(sum) = [13]> or <(sum) > [13]>>

NOT

<(sum) = <<[] =  [13]> or <[] > [13]>>>

which doesn't make sense. The second half of that returns false (blank or 0 is not =13 or > 13) which is converted to 0 if you treat it as a value. So what you're checking for is sum=0.

Oh my god, thank you so much!
