How to trigger a dice roll from a game piece - the difference between Hotkeys and Key Commands
From Vassal
This is a placeholder for the upcoming mini-tutorial.
First explain why Global Key Commands don't work to trigger Toolbar Buttons like Dice Buttons and why we need Global Hotkeys.
Then give an example of setting up a dice-rolling feature on a game piece.
Steps: 1) Use Trigger Action to provide a menu item on the game piece (or prototype) that can then spawn multiple consequences.
2) Use a Global Hotkey to roll the dice.
3) Use a Report Action to report on the outcome.
