I am working on my first Vassal Module and I am sure this is probably a simple question to answer.
I am trying to make an action which will roll two different dice (D6 and D10) and use the results in the message.
The problem I have is that when I try and create an action and display the message (Using display message in the action properties) with the results of those two dice buttons, I do not get that current roll I get the previous results.
Is there an even easier way I am just missing?
The only way I have been able to do it right is to create and action and add three send hotkeys
To roll D6
To Roll D10
To Report the results. (Created an action to report the D6 and D10 results)
This seems like it is a rather bulky way of doing this and was hoping someone can tell me what I am missing since I am new.

It sounds like the the Report Action trait is firing before the die roll.� Are you using a trigger to execute the die rolls?

My initial stab at it was to create an an action button and was trying to use its built in display message and send 2 hotkeys to roll the dice. This created the issue where the built in display message was not getting the updated die results. (Which is weird cause the message is actually below the die results.
I did get it to work by not using the built in display message and created a Report D6 and D10 results action and fired that off after the two die rolls also sending hotkey.
The Reason I did not like this solution is because I was hoping to create 1 action button per roll but as it stands with my working solution I need to create 1 action button and 1 report die results action per roll. And that seemed pretty bulky.
I was just hoping that there was an easier and cleaner way to combine 2 different dice in a roll and use their results in a message.
The first thing the Action Button does is to create the message from the
current state. The message is not actually displayed until the action has
occurred.
The best solution is to associate the action with a piece which may be
invisible. Then use a Report Action trait.

Thanks for you Help, I will try and do that for my phase 2 where I try and trigger the attack from the piece and not the roll button.
