I've written a RollDice() function that animates the rolling of dice. The function uses setTimeout to call itself a number of times. A variable DiceRolling is true when the routine is running, and once complete, DiceRolling is set false.

I have other automated routines that need to run after the routine is completed.

What is the best way to "pause" my script until the RollDice routine has completed?
