Help turning a script into a plug-in

[DavidFoxfire]

I'm creating a script that, instead of adding things to the main engine, does some numbercrunching on its own.  I designed it to emulate a d20 engine, where a d20 is rolled, have a tallied-up bonus to the result, and is compared to a set number to determine Success or Failure.

Below is the plug-in I'm making right now.  The actual scripts themselves are sound enough, barring noobie syntax errors.  It's setting the script up into a Plugin so I can use in MV that's the trick.  Any help here will be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance.

Unlike most plugins, this only adds the number of funcitons I needed to implement a d20 style random roll for exploration and interaction. Similar to D&D, the plugin tallies up an modifier based on attributes and skills being used, it is added to a d20 roll, and its result is sent to the event that calls for this roll. The funcitons itself are sound--although some proofreading for syntax is appreciated, it is converting it into a working plugin that plays well with RPG Maker MV that I need help with.  Every bit of assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I'm interested in this part:

function load_array () { for (var a=0, a<5, a++) { for (var b=0, b<6, b++) { game.variables (Table_Start + a + = Attribute_Array[a,b]; } } }So it seems to me that both game.variables (Table_Start + a + = Attribute_Array[a,b] and game.variables (Table_Start + b + a) = Attribute_Array[b,a] will be run.

But as Table_Start + a + b === Table_Start + b + a, I think that both Attribute_Array[a,b] and Attribute_Array[b,a] will be assigned to the same game variable

Whoops!  I forgot something important there.   It was supposed to be Table_Start + (a*6) + b is it.   Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
