Exploding Dice
I'm working on a roller for the BASH! RPG, and I've come up against a problem.
When doubles are rolled in BASH, dice explode - if the two d6s you're rolling match, roll another d6 and add it to the result, and, if THAT d6 either result, roll again etc.
So this is the code I have so far:
The variable "vart" is supposed to contain the total of the rolls. Only, the [when] statement doesn't seem to work - it's not comparing var1 and var2 properly, and it's not adding var3 to them if they are equal. Additionally, the output is all messed up, viz:
I can't help but feel it's a syntax problem, but I can't figure it out.

So this is the code I have so far:
Table: BASH Roll
Set: var1 ={1d6}
Set: var2 ={1d6}
Set: var3 ={1d6}
Define: vart ={!{$var1}+{$var2}}
##vart = total of roll so far
Set: vart =[when] {$var1} = {$var2} [do] {{$vart}+{$var3}}[end]
##if doubles are rolled, add var3
Total of {$vart} ({$var1},{$var2},{$var3}
##Print stuff out for debugging purposes)

Table: BashRoll Set: roll={1d6} Set: tot=[when]{$2}>0[do]{{roll}+{$2}}[else]{roll}[end] [when]{roll}={$1}& [do]{roll} + [@BashRoll with {roll}, {tot}]& [else]{roll} = {tot}& [end]The above code returns results like this:
1 + 6 = 7
5 + 5 + 5 + 1 = 16
2 + 5 = 7
6 + 2 = 8
6 + 6 + 4 = 16
6 + 5 = 11
