    Default No Parse tags and rolling

    Is there any way currently to get a post to not execute roll tags? I am trying to help players in a campaign by pre-writing their roll script. Previously several years ago this was achieved using [no parse] tags but they don't appear to work with rolls tags any longer. I would appreciate any help.

    I wrote the dice roller code out in a CODE block, so it wasn't parsed.
    E.g.,
    Code:
    [rollv]3d6[/rollv]

    You can also edit in the rolls. Rolls only go through the first time a post is made, not in future edits.

    In case you don't have enough ways to do it yet, [ro[COLOR="#000000"]ll[/COLOR]]1d6[/roll] will produce [roll]1d6[/roll].

    noparse has never worked for the dice roller tags. They work differently to normal tags.

    This doesn't do anything. The reason they didn't roll is because the dice roller doesn't roll in this forum, and that's just how it rolls.

    That's one way to do it.

    This is another way to do it.

    You can also use the tags in a thread that is not in a dice rolling forum, as they only get parsed in specific forums.
