Trigger random value

[Gomo]

I've made some test to implement dice to my Tactical Console (unfortunately Dice roller works with successes above given value instead of equal and below, which I need) with result giving me random numbers, but each time I am making some changes.
So I try to make a trigger which will perform this task, but right now it doesn't work.
My prototype:

<portal
      id="attack"
      style="actReroll"
      tiptext="Atak">
      <action
        action="trigger">
        <trigger><![CDATA[
		var temp as number
		temp = random(10) + 1
		                    ~herofield[acAbandon].value = 1
          perform herofield[acDie].value = 0
		  ~ perform field[trkUser].reset

          ]]></trigger>
        </action>
      </portal>

With acDie defined in Actor:

 <field
      id="acDie"
      name="Die"
      type="user"
	  defvalue="0">
	  </field>

And I've got such error:

Syntax error in 'trigger' script for Template 'tacPick' (in Portal 'attack') on line 5
  -> Error in string expression

Is it possible to make it work? I didn't found much about implementation of random on the forum or the wiki.

The error you're getting is not related to using a random number. It's this line that's the problem:

perform herofield[acDie].value = 0

Study that code, and compare it to other code you've seen - why is that not the right code to set the value of a field?

OK, I've made some changes and managed to make it work.
I've added an usagepool like this:

<usagepool
    id="Die"
    name="Die"
    abbrev="Die"
    ishero="yes"
    persist="yes"/>

a portal to track the value:

	  	  	      <portal
      id="gain"
      style="lblSmlLeft">
      <label
        ismultiline="yes">
        <labeltext><![CDATA[
		  @text = "{size 30}Gain: {size 36}" & hero.usagepool[Die].value
          ]]></labeltext>
        </label>

and modified existing trigger:

	      <portal
      id="attack"
      style="actReroll"
      tiptext="Atak">
      <action
        action="trigger">
        <trigger><![CDATA[
		var temp as number
		temp = random(10) + 1
		  perform hero.usagepool[Die].empty
		  perform hero.usagepool[Die].adjust[temp]
          perform hero.usagepool[Die].set[temp]
          ]]></trigger>
        </action>
      </portal>
