SDY_Dice - Animated Dice for RPG Maker MZ

Roll real dice on screen

SDY_Dice rolls animated dice and writes the result to variables and switches. One plugin command does it all: no image files, no scripting. Use it on the map or in battle events.

Try it first: the free trial (SDY_Dice Lite) is in the downloads below. When you upgrade, just replace the file. Your events keep working.

Features

• 6 dice types: d6 (pips), d4, d8, d10, d12 and d20. Drawn by the plugin, so you don't need any images.
• 1 to 10 dice in one roll
• 4 colors (white, red, black, gold), plus your own colors in the plugin parameters
• Auto mode: the dice are thrown, bounce and land. The player can press OK to skip.
• Stop mode: the dice spin in place and the player stops each one with OK. The faces turn in order, so a skilled player can aim.
• Results into variables: the total, each die, and a pattern (pair / all same / straight)
• Success checks: roll-over (D&D style, total ≥ target) or roll-under (skill style, total ≤ target). The target can come from a variable.
• Critical / fumble switches, with their own labels and sound effects
• Modifiers (2d6+3) and a modifier variable for stat bonuses
• Bias (loaded dice) and fixed faces for story scenes and tutorials
• Works in battle events (turn-based and time progress)
• SDY.Dice.r("2d6+3") in damage formulas
• All text and sound effects can be changed. Help in English and Japanese.

Use it for

Board games, cee-lo, casino minigames, lock picking, TRPG-style skill checks, loot rolls, random events.

Make a board game with SDY_Sugoroku

Roll the dice, then move a piece by the total. SDY_Sugoroku - Board Game turns any map into a sugoroku board with forks, a goal, special squares and CPU pieces. The two plugins are made to work together.

How to use

1. Copy SDY_Dice.js to your project's js/plugins folder and turn it ON in the Plugin Manager.
2. In an event, run the plugin command Roll Dice. Set the number of dice, the dice type and a Total Variable.
3. The event waits until the result has been shown. Then use Conditional Branch on the variable or switches.

Free trial vs. full version

• Free trial: d6 only, 1 to 3 dice, white, auto mode, total and each die into variables
• Full version: everything above (d4 to d20, up to 10 dice, colors, stop mode, checks, criticals, modifiers, patterns, script calls)

Terms of use

• Commercial and non-commercial games are OK. Adult content is OK.
• You may edit the code for your own project.
• Do not redistribute or resell the plugin itself. Shipping it inside your finished game is fine.
• Credit is appreciated but not required ("Sunday Plugins").
