Bot for Slack to roll dice.
To use:
- setup website on a server running Node
- add a config file with the API tokens from Slack
- add a Slash Command Slack integration, point at the dicebot server you setup
Once the integration is up, in Slack, use it by:
- typing
/roll #d#where the first number is the number of dice and the second number is the number of sides - syntax is very forgiving, allowing things like
- modifiers -
/roll 2d6 +15 - multiple dice -
/roll 3d6 2d8 - it will try to "parse" weird rolls like
/roll +2 +5 2d6where the parameters are out of order /rolldefaults to1d20if nothing is passed
- modifiers -
