Godot Dice Roller (UI Control) 1.4.0 2D Tools 4.3 Community

# godot-dice-roller

A Godot UI control that rolls 3D dices in a box.


## Features

* Configurable setup:
- Dynamic set of dices: d4, d6 and d10
- Custom colors for each dice
- Configurable box size and color

* 3 ways to roll:
- Physics based dice rolling (slow but cool)
- Turning dices to a computer generated random value (faster but unnatural)
- Turning dices to a given value (useful when the actual rolling is done remotely)

* Easy to integrate in your code:
- Trigger rolling programmatically from buttons or shortcuts
- A signal notifies after the rolling
- Obtain results for individual dices or add up.

* Responsive to layouts:
- The control adapts to the available space given by the layout
- Whichever the resulting size, the camera adapts the zoom to fully see the rolling box floor
- Automatically rotates the rolling box if the control aspect ratio is inverse to the one of the box

## Usage

- Install the addon in your project from the AssetLib
- Exclude files outside `addons/` to avoid conflicts
- Enable the plugin in the project settings
- Insert a `DiceRollerControl` as part of your UI
- Depending on the layout you might want to set a minimum control size
- Setup the dice set attribute with some dices
- You might want to adapt the box size to the number of dices to avoid rolls impossible to fit in
- Trigger a roll by calling `roll()` method on the control.
- Alternativelly, use the `quick_roll() to skip physics simulation
- Also you may enable the `interactive` flag to roll on click or quickroll on right-click
- Connect the `rollFinished(value)` to your code
- Use the incoming value from the signal as the added value or use the `result()` method
- You can also use the `per_dice_result()` to get individual values for each dice
- You can emulate external rolls with `show_faces(result)`
