  How does It work?

  Since someone asked in the comments, I thought I'd break down how this mod actually works.

  In terms of coding, It's actually quite simple. the object you use is actually a consumable item that calls a new effect which is a type of script. This is actually similar to how the NCR emergency radio does it.

  Essentially when you consume the dice/cap by interacting with it the following script runs in the background:

  1) Using the function GetRandomPercentage in the engine you can generate a number between 0 and 100.

  2) Using a bit of simple maths we can use this function to generate a percentage between 1 and 6 for the dice and 1 and 10 for the cap.

  3) Play an initial message using ShowMessage i.e "Flipping..."

  4) Once this number it's as simple feat of comparing the generated number with a list of possible outcomes.

  5) for example if random number is equal to anything less than 5 for the cap (<5) we play a message that says "tails"

  6) Otherwise we play a message that says "heads" as the only other outcome is going to be greater than (>5)

  7) The dice is just a simple expansion of the cap code with some adjusted if statements to account for 6 possible states.

  8) I.e. is the random number = to 4? then pass that number into the dice roll message (easier this way since the dice icon is constant)

  9) Finally we add the dice/cap back into the player's inventory without notification (since the item is technically consumed on use)

  This would have all likely been far easier using NVSE and JIP. but I do think for a mod this simple in nature - it doesn't make sense to have both as a requirement. (Although most people should be installing them anyways)
