Kevin,

now it is clear!!!!

repeat fld "number of dices" times
   add random(fld "dice type") to TotalValue
end repeat

explanations a repeat loop will cycle the code it contains. The  
amount of cycles is the number in field "number of dices", the code  
inside will add a dice to the variable called TotalValue

You need to change the field names in the script ;-)

Cheers
andre
