Question

I am writing some JavaScript code for my webapp. I need to make a variable that has an attribute linked to it. ie: Dice1.PowerUp

So when I code I can roll a dice that is different when the powerup linked to it is at 0, 1 or 2. Do I have to code 2 different variable and set them at the same time or can I just code a linked variable that will work like an attribute to sort it.

While waiting for an answer I am coding it with 2 variables that will be set at the same time.

Code:

var consDie = new Array(3); 
//Implanté les élément de constance des dés. 
for (var i = 0; i <= 2; i++){ 
    consDie[i] = 12 - (i * 2); 
    console.log("D" + consDie[i]); 
    //Ça marché... holy macaroony! 
} 
var consNDice = 6; //Constante pour le nombre de dés 
var consAlign = {
    UnAl : consDie[2], 
    Bal : consDie[1], 
    Phys : consDie[0], 
    Ment : consDie[0]
}; 
//declaration of an object that contain the kind of dice that is rolled by powerup

Answer 1

you can create a class for the dice:

function Dice (power_up) {
    this.power_up = power_up;

    this.rollDice = function() {
        return Math.floor(Math.random()*6) * power_up;
    };
}

so you can create a dice object with a power up associated, and then use the rollDice function to get the value
