Description

RTD was made to mimic dice-rolling plugins found on some custom multiplayer servers for other like Team Fortress 2. With these games and the user in mind, this plugin is the most customizable and user-friendly dice-rolling plugin available for Bukkit.

RTD's main functions (in more depth below) allow for the owner of the server to create and fully customize all potential outcomes of rolling the dice. In fact, the more outcomes, the better: more outcomes means more randomization. This can be exploited to a fault, of course: copying and pasting twenty copies of the same two outcomes still only gives each outcome a one-in-two shot, regardless of the number of copies.

Other plugins have preset outcomes out-of-the-box? Bah! RTD allows for easy customization, addition, and removal of outcomes.
Other plugins give you only numbers? What?! With RTD, you can replace all commands with "/say" followed by a number, and BAM!, you've just made RTD into one of those!
Got another plugin like CommandBook that you want to work with RTD? It already does! Just put the command you want into an outcome, and now your users are rolling for Thor's hammer (check that link back there).

What are outcomes?

"Outcomes", which refer to each outcome of having rolled the dice, are lists of player and console commands that will be executed should that outcome be selected by the plugin. For example, this config.yml...

# config.yml
outcomes:
    suicide:
    - say $(player) rolled for SUICIDE!
    - kill
    diamond:
    - say $(player) rolled for a diamond!
    - give $(player) diamond 1

...could either give the player a diamond, or slaughter them and scatter their inventory like shredded paper. And it's totally random!

Setting up RTD
