Slash commands

Slash commands are special instructions you can use in a room. Any post to a room that starts with a / is interpreted as a slash command.

A valid slash command must have the slash command as the very first text in the post. Slash commands anywhere else in the post will be ignored.

The following slash commands are hardwired into Rolepy:

/roll

Rolls one or more dice. The results are posted to the room as amessage with the die roll embedded in it.

The format for a die roll command:

/roll <number_of_dice> d<type_of_die> v<target_number (optional)>

For instance, to just roll 1d6:

/roll 1d6

To roll 3d10 with a target number of 6 or better:

/roll 3d10v6

To roll multiple dice, separate each die roll:

/roll 3d6v4 2d4

Any other text in a die roll post will be ignored, including line breaks, so it can be used to describe the rolls you're making:

/roll 3d6 Base to hit 2d10 Damage

You cannot edit a die roll post. You can, however, delete it.

/goto

Jumps to a specific message in the current room. This can be specified by a message ID, or the handle or user who posted.

Use the ID number of a message in a room to jump to that message:

/goto 1234

Provide a user or handle name, and you'll jump to the last post made by that user or handle:

/goto @Josie Bryce (Jump to the last post made with the handle @Josie Bryce).

/goto @@Aaron (Jump to the last post made from any handle by the user @@Aaron).
