So, I have been trying to make a dice roller. So the user selects how many sides it has, and then how many of those dice to roll, for example two 10 sided dice. Then the system makes a random number in between one and the amount of sides the selected die has.

So here is what I did:

<input type="numbers" name="dieAmount" value="Type Die Amount Here">

<select id="dieType">

<option value="0"> Select Die Type</option>  

<option value="20"> d20 </option>

<option value="12"> d12 </option>

<option value="10"> d10 </option>

<option value="8"> d8 </option>

<option value="6"> d6 </option>

<option value="4"> d4 </option>

<option value="2"> d2 </option>

</select> 

<p>



<input type="button" value="Roll" onclick="roll(dieType)" />

</form>





<script>

function roll(){

var min= 1; 

var max = document.getElementById("dieType").value;  

var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (+max - +min)) + min

var factor = document.getElementById("dieAmount").value;

 var outcome = random * factor - 1

document.write("Number Rolled: " + outcome);  

 }

</script>

I just can't figure out how to make the select and input blocks to become a variable.

You only missed to define an id attribute for dieAmount (and you don't need a name attribute there)... And, you can't access the select current value simply by value, but you should use the element's option selectedIndex...

See my code:

<input type="numbers" id="dieAmount" value="Type Die Amount Here">

<select id="dieType">

  <option value="0"> Select Die Type</option>  

  <option value="20"> d20 </option>

  <option value="12"> d12 </option>

  <option value="10"> d10 </option>

  <option value="8"> d8 </option>

  <option value="6"> d6 </option>

  <option value="4"> d4 </option>

  <option value="2"> d2 </option>

</select> 

<p>

<input type="button" value="Roll" onclick="roll(dieType)" />



<script>

function roll() {

  var factor = document.getElementById("dieAmount").value;

  var dieTypeElement = document.getElementById("dieType");

  var max = dieTypeElement.options[dieTypeElement.selectedIndex].value;

  var min = 1; 

  var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min)) + min;

  var outcome = random * factor - 1;

  document.write("Number Rolled: " + outcome);  

}

</script>
