<@386527270015336450> i'm curious about how ``deepfind`` helps with ``nodes[1]``...
local uinodes = thisUIFunc()
--lets say we have some object, with something in the config, but we cant use get_uie_by_id.
--so we'll look for value "this_val"
local df = SMODS.deepfind(uinodes, "this_val")
--the value can be anything, a string, a number, a table (although it would have to be a reference to a table. {3} == {3} is of course false
--its important to note that we can use ANY table, not just ui stuff
local firstMatch = df[1]
--order is undefined. ideally theres only one match, but all that are found are returned.
local tblfound, index, tree = firstMatch.table, firstMatch.index, firstMatch.tree
--tblfound[index] is our value
--tree contains the way we'd get to our object.
--since the index is inside a table, we dont want the last object in the tree (which is index) or the second last (which is tblfound). we want the third
local traverseTarget = uinodes --we modify this. this will end up becoming the third last.
for i = 1, #tree - 2 do --since we don't want the last 2 objects in the tree
local ind = tree[i]
--the indice to find the next step in the tree towards our desired object
traverseTarget = traverseTarget[ind]
--and set traverseTarget
end
--[[
now traverseTarget points to the target we wanted, without any need for nodes[1] shenanigans!
and while yes, this is a bit longer, it's better because
1. it's more flexible (so if a node is inserted at index 1 somewhere, this will still work, whereas nodes[1] chaining will break)
2. it can become shorter if you define a small helper function
]]
edit because there's a link to this on the thing: this can be done much easier with objtree:
local uinodes = thisUIFunc()
local objtree = SMODS.deepfind(uinodes, "this_val")[1].objtree
local target = objtree[#objtree-2]
--done!

Gotta crank out the beta before the version system breaks
hardy viper
``{3} == {3} is of course false`` WHAT
yeah, youre creating two separate tables, and tables work via references in lua, including in comparisons
merry raven
There we go, I discarded 3 cards next to it and got this
Now I just need to add some flair like a popup that comes up when you discard a card next to it, and a tracker in the description (like the "Currently" grey text trackers that jokers have)
But Enhancements don't have return statements, what can I use?
hardy viper
since you're making two different tables, even though they share the same values, they have different references
so they compare as false
same thing goes for functions
(and userdatas)
not anything else though
hardy viper

that is not a thing in lua

this joker is supposed to give x mult when only 1 card with a red stud sticker scores

like in javascript, "3" == 3 is true, but "3" === 3 is false

merry raven
I SPENT 30 MINUTES ON THIS
The Programming Experience tm
I spent so long trying to debug my Enhancements only to realize I forgot a comma
hardy viper
from what i've seen, theres 3 ways to compare whether tables are the same (at least in lua)
- use a recursive comparison function that will test for differences between the table, and return early if they're different anywhere
- use the same metatable for all the objects of a certain type, so that two different table objects constructed the same way can be seen as equal if they have the same metatable
- assigning objects ids and checking those against each other
you can also use a non-recursive comparison function but thats kinda lazy and doesnt usually work when things are nested
and everyone knows recursion is the best thing since butter on toast

smods rank system has a function for this iirc, it's not documented though
and it's not the above one
i would go to wherever that function is in the smods source code and just look above and below it and see if the increment function is around there

Which part or file of the source code should I look into?
hardy viper
the part where the change_base function is
which is probably in src/utils.lua but you can just ctrl f the entire source code
merry raven
Is this it?
-- Change a card's suit, rank, or both.
-- Accepts keys for both objects instead of needing to build a card key yourself.
function SMODS.change_base(card, suit, rank)
if not card then return false end

I'm trying to double chips at joker trigger, but it's only multiplying by the base chip total of the hand type. Any ideas on how I can get it to calculate from the chip total at the time of trigger? Setting the context to final_scoring_step does make it work but it doesn't visually trigger the joker
if context.joker_main then
return {
chip_mod = G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.chips * 2,
message = 'x2',

Even then, it doesn't trigger in the order it should, as I want position in hand to have an effect on the scoring
joker_main is close but has the aforementioned problem of taking hand type chips instead of current total

The value doesn’t exist when you’re discarding

Is there a function that destroys a card?
faint yacht
card:remove() is quick and easy.
crisp coral
card:start_dissolve() has an animation
merry raven
I was warned about "ghost cards" or something
merry raven
Is that for actually destroying the card or checking if a card is destroyed or not
merry raven
the card being checked for destruction is ``context.destroying_card``
You saying former made me think that context.destroying_card is the one doing the destroying so lemme get this straight
context.destroying_card is for checking for destruction
card:remove() is for actually destroying the card?
crisp coral
remove is for destroying a card outside the card calculation loop
however, context.destroying_card (in a card's calculate function) must be used during calculation (instead of before, after or joker_main contexts)

what **does that have to do with it**
Yeah see
tidal edge
shit i accidentally bold my text how does that even HAPPWNEWNE
thorny adder
You're bad too

thorny adder
You assume splatoon players are lgbt

any splatoon players

tidal edge
what did i even say
thorny adder
Not good
thorny adder
what did i even say
Not you marie
stiff locust
what **does that have to do with it**
i code for a splatoon mod
i was going to ask for effect ideas.
stiff locust
because the last effect we had didn't work since talisman doesn't like playing cards
thorny adder
Huge bruh moment over here
tidal edge
i didnt even know that stereotype existed, you should stop assuming things magistas - slotmachineTBOI
stiff locust
can't do xchips
thorny adder
can't do xchips
I know how
stiff locust
how is it one line of code and talisman hasn't done it yet
thorny adder
Idk
royal ridge
Its one line of code
everything is one line of code if you're willing to sacrifice readability
thorny adder
No
stiff locust
i guess that's true
thorny adder
Its a tiny line of code
tidal edge
if pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis then
thorny adder
That you add before applying xchips
stiff locust
and what would that be
tidal edge
question mark
stiff locust
they'll probably need some time
stiff locust
this method is
very flawed
crisp coral
yeah you did
royal ridge
lmao
tidal edge
crisp coral
chips_mod = hand_chips * (config.Xchips - 1)
stiff locust
that doesn't solve the message problem
crisp coral
i'd assume seals also have calculate functions
stiff locust
the message isn't localized and can't be changed with the value
crisp coral
haven't read the documentation for that
stiff locust
i'd assume seals also have calculate functions
yeah but you have to use self.config.extra instead of card.ability.extra
same for vouchers (kinda)
crisp coral
the message isn't localized and can't be changed with the value
you can define a loc
stiff locust
the message works but it doesn't change with the value
thorny adder
the message works but it doesn't change with the value
You need to use a variable
crisp coral
it's in misc.v_dictionary
you can define something like this
then use that for your localization
merry raven
calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
if context.destroying_card and context.destroying_card == card then
return true
end
if context.pre_discard then
if table.contains(context.full_hand, card) then
local rank_sum = 0
for _, discarded_card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
if discarded_card ~= card then
rank_sum = rank_sum + discarded_card:get_id()
end
end
if rank_sum > 0 then
card.ability.extra.mult = rank_sum
card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "Volatile!"}, G.C.MULT)
end
end
end
if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then
if card.ability.extra.mult > 0 then
effect.mult = card.ability.extra.mult
context.destroying_card = card
end
end
end
I'm still trying to figure out the card destruction mechanic, it's just not getting destroyed at all after the card with this Enhancement is scored
wintry solar
Oh yeah I don’t think enhancements have destroying contexts in main branch
wintry solar
why the fuck is it not above white stake
Did you fix this?
merry raven
Yeah it has shatter, but can I modify it to play a different sound or something?
crisp coral
no like Glass Card code
merry raven
Yeah Glass Card has card:shatter()
wintry solar
Glass card is hard coded
crisp coral
okay yeah you need to lovely patch a lot for enhancement destruction to work
wintry solar
-# just wait for better calc to fix everything
merry raven
Agony

Can you ss your code for the stake?
crisp coral
-# just wait for better calc to fix everything
ive been waiting for bettercalc since ejwu was still here
grr
merry raven
What's better calc? A part of Steamodded or something?
wintry solar
But now we have better calc 2!
wintry solar
You need prefix_config
nocturne garnet
better calc 2: electric boogaloo
wintry solar
Check wiki for formatting
stiff locust
you can define something like this
no this didn't work
it just uses the +chips message with the amount of chips added
crisp coral
hell
wintry solar
But yeah, ejwu built enhancements in a really weird way
crisp coral
when in doubt, SMODS.eval_this
wintry solar
-# better calc 2 fixes this too
stiff locust
also how do i do the localization for a seal
merry raven
if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then
if card.ability.extra.mult > 0 then
effect.mult = card.ability.extra.mult
card:shatter()
end
end
Something like this?
stiff locust
i tried doing it the way you do jokers but replacing the category with seal
and added a label area because they use those but everything is error/empty
wintry solar
Seals go in Other iirc
stiff locust
oh
wintry solar
I don’t recall where labels go
stiff locust
Seals go in `Other` iirc
it didn't work
wintry solar
Yes
stiff locust
okay
merry raven
```
if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then
if...
Okay this works but it visually shatters before scoring, but the bonus is still applied
The + mult popups just appear in between the gaps where the card got destroyed
Any fix here?
stiff locust
Labels go in `misc.labels`
and what do I put in misc.labels to make it work
like ["sealkey"] = "label contents"?
wintry solar
Yeah I believe so
stiff locust
it didn't work

wintry solar
wdym
hardy viper
i mean i was under the impression that you changed the goal of your pr to be reworking calculation in its entirety and that looks like the exact same thing as before
wintry solar
it's more unifying calculation so that everything is calculated the same way
wintry solar
I don't think calculation as a whole needs redoing
hardy viper
it def does
its way too wasteful
usually around 90% of the calculations done in a hand do absolutely nothing
which usually ends up being 10-20% of the time spent during calculation
sometimes more sometimes less

is that the label?
-# and how do I set it?
if you're using loc_vars then add a "label" section with text in it
if you're using separate localization then it goes in misc > labels
i think? at least that's how it works for seal labels
so I assume it's similar
["misc"] = {
["labels"] = {
["modprefix_editionkey"] = "Edition Label",
},
},
which would be this?

that’s correct

howdy balatro mod squad, i'm currently working on expanding milck's QoL mod to allow me to use the keyboard to navigate the game's UI but i'm running into trouble when attempting to buy anything from the shop... the game crashes and says "attempt to index field 'buttons' (a nil value)" as soon as i hit the key to execute the buy action
which i believe makes sense as i'm likely not passing the correct context to the function and in various iterations of attempting to get it to work it says that the ref_table is nil but where i get stuck is how to pass the context itself when executing the action (or whether or not i'm missing something alongside the context)

you should still use a fallback in case your joker is viewed from the collection, this avoids having to hook into init_game_globals

Hell yea
frosty dock
oh that's probably why
wintry solar
though I do have an idea of how to do it
just need to try and untangle whatever the hell current retrigger api is
frosty dock
make sure to fix #302 when you do
frosty dock
(i think it's just out of order from not taking into account that effects are only evaluated coming out of eval_card and not right away)
wintry solar
okay
from what I understand of the api, when a joker effect is calculated it should calculate all other jokers with context.retrigger_joker_check and then it should recall the current calculation with context.retrigger_joker?
frosty dock
yeah pretty much
there's some other stuff baked in with callbacks and post_trigger, iirc the callbacks are used by the api to actually eval the effects
fading fox
open dragon
wintry solar
there's some other stuff baked in with callbacks and post_trigger, iirc the call...
do you know when post_trigger should be called?
frosty dock
do you know when post_trigger should be called?
for each joker after the last retrigger for this calculation unless context.no_callback is set or the first calculation returned no_callback
wintry solar
and callback is there to check that the card has an effect?
frosty dock
from what i can see the evaluation of the effects is moved into the callback with some really janky patches
so instead of happening when eval_card returns, it happens after all the triggers but still inside calculate_joker
wintry solar
right
so the evaluation pattern goes through the jokers, finds one that would retrigger other jokers, retriggers them, then carries on?
frosty dock
yes
ideally we don't need the callback jank and can pass multiple effects out to eval_card
wintry solar
the way I was thinking it would work would be that when the eval_card is initially called on a joker, it then goes through all jokers called joker_retrigger_check and then evaluates the retriggers then, but that would lead to different results I think
frosty dock
so the evaluation pattern goes through the jokers, finds one that would retrigge...
i guess this is imprecise. after each joker is first calculated, we call all other joker to see if they want to retrigger this joker, do the retriggers and carry on
moving retriggers out to eval_card is surely cleaner than that
i don't think it has to have different results so long as we ensure consistent use of eval_card
wintry solar
oh yeah I think I can move it out, let me have a quick go
what I have at the moment works for retriggering effects on playing cards at least
frosty dock
then to make sure the agains are in order, eval_card just needs to insert that into the effects with a way to read out the correct order
wintry solar
yeah, and the agains should be on the joker that causes the retriggers right?
frosty dock

the old one just calls card_eval_status_text on the spot
frosty dock
yeah, and the agains should be on the joker that causes the retriggers right?
messages are individual-style on ret.card where ret is the return value of retrigger_joker_check
wintry solar
got it

I'm trying to have this joker retrigger any "food jokers" that I have specified in a global table, however my attempts to prevent them from retriggering at the end of a round have not been working for some reason (i.e. it will retrigger gros michel extinction chance when it should not). I've tried checking for the end_of_round context in a ton of different areas but it does not seem to care

couldn't you directly do something like

(assuming chip_gain is the chip gain per $1 of buy value)

I'm making an Enhancement that makes a card rank up per hand played, but it doesn't work when the first hand is played, but will continue to work normally after the second or further hand is played
last_hand_number is a custom value in the config tag used to track the last hand played as an int
Any insights? The full code is pretty long so I'm only showing a segment of it

Another thing, the event i've got to say 'upgraded', is there a way to make that say whatever i want to?

do i need to define it somewhere else?

mellow sable
you can replace localize('k_upgrade_ex') with a string like "M"
although if you want localization support you should make a localization file and use localization calls still

i know this would probably be hard to do but i had a dream after working on my mod for a few hours about it and i think i was like. kinda cooking in my sleep here chat what do we think abt this
stray warren
Any way to make this so that when a card gets polychromed in the hand, afterward in the same hand it triggers the polychrome effect? Currently it waits until after the hand.
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if context.other_card:is_suit("Spades") or context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") and not context.other_card.debuffed then
if pseudorandom('black_rainbows') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
trigger = 'before',
func = function()
context.other_card:set_edition({ polychrome = true }, true)
return true
end
}))
end
end
end
end
You'll have to iterate through each card in the context.scoring_hand and do the roll individually within context.before.
stray warren
Well, I want the polychrome effect to happen when it is scored, not before the hand is scored
faint yacht
You apply the polychrome during context.before... before the hand is scored.
jade acorn
or I should also ask, is there someone who would be willing to teach me how to if there isnt a video out there
gaunt thistle
is there a good guide for making new mods
your best bet is to copy what other people have done and refer to the smods wiki / source code
gaunt thistle
def look up lua syntax because it does some weird stuff
yeah you're not going to really get any extensive guides / tuts on this sorta thing
it's all learning through osmosis
stray warren
You apply the polychrome during `context.before`... *before* the hand is scored.
But I want the polychrome effect to also be applied when it is scored, not before the hand is scored. Like display the animation and everything once it is scored.
Unless I am misinterpreting what you are saying
jade acorn
how many people here post their stuff about making new consumable cards
faint yacht
By iterating through each card in context.before, you set up the polychrome to be accounted for when the hand actually scores.
stray warren
So if I create the event in context.before, will the animation still play when it is scored, and not all at once before it is scored?
faint yacht
The applying of edition animation and SFX should play... although I'm not sure about it happening individually. See if it happens... if so, maybe you'll need to end up using events to try the individual route.
merry raven

Thanks for both of yalls insights
But how do ya use this specific patch in an Enhancement? Do I just simply add a sound tag like how I define my atlas? Does it make card_eval_status_text support a sound parameter or something?

Inside card_eval_status_text?
faint yacht
Yeah.
merry raven
Gotcha gotcha I'll see if I can make it work
faint yacht
You can also define sound when return-ing.
stray warren
The applying of edition animation and SFX *should* play... although I'm not sure...
Ok, so I tried this, but it applies the polychrome effect in context.before and plays the sound after the hand is scored. And obviously it doesn't account for retriggers since it's only checking each card once
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before then
for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
if v:is_suit("Spades") or v:is_suit("Clubs") and not v.debuffed then
if pseudorandom('black_rainbows') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
v:set_edition({ polychrome = true })
return true
end
}))
end
end
end
end
end
Can't really go more specific than this, I'm still learning stuff myself.
