Hi, I was wondering how can create a "working" 20 sided die that is completely random.

If it's not my fault, I 'd say I don't really understand what is a working 20 sided die.. if you could explain yourself I'd be happy to help you out.

A 20 sided die is commonly used in pen and paper rpgs, a lot of tile board games and other things.

If it helps, here is a picture link.

The die at the left end is a twenty sided die.

I think you mean dice, not die. Anyway, you should have a look at the random function. :)

Yes, just use

Code Select

Random(19)+1which will result in a random result from 1 to 20.

Thanks, that will help.

Trivial fact: A die is a singular for dice.
