2 is a wrapper for 1, and 3 funnels its return value into 2

wintry solar Jan 18, 2025, 2:44 PM

All contexts are here minus a few end of round ones I missed

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:44 PM

oh i didn't see that haha

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 2:45 PM

this as it'sown thing right

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:45 PM

still that after hand drawn, and might be worth adding to context which cards were drawn?

just making sure

besides the error it works

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

merry raven What's `getting_sliced`?

should be context.setting_blind and not card.getting_sliced for smods functions

wooden badge Jan 18, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

merry raven What's `getting_sliced`?

getting destroyed by another effect like madness

merry raven Jan 18, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

Ah I see

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

it indicates being destroyed at start of round by something like dagger or madness

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 2:46 PM

@frosty dock thanks for putting up with myy BS lol

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:47 PM

all good

I guess last question would be away to remove that error

this one?

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 2:48 PM

frosty dock this one?

the screenshot

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:48 PM

it goes away if you remove your override of global create_card

oh, that error

lmao

is there a way to detect Seltzer disappearing itself, from another card?

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 2:49 PM

it's not a huge deal

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:49 PM

remove the group_key

merry raven Jan 18, 2025, 2:49 PM

if context.setting_blind and card.ability.extra.state == "primed" then
            print("ENHANCE CARDS")
            local normal_cards = {}
            for _, handCard in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do

                end
...

When I started the next blind/round, it doesn't seem like my cards are converting to my custom Enhancement, what am I missing? I reckon it's because that the if case is met before the first hand is actually dealt

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

use context.first_hand_drawn

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 2:50 PM

this is greate now i can just focus on making the cards 😄

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 2:50 PM

can u mix jokers and tarot cards together in a pack

try it

they're both cards, I don't see why not

i'm pretty sure it should work fine

the best way i can give you to make that work is to wait for the release of lovely 0.7.0 and patch a calculation context for specific messages into SMODS.calculate_individual_effect

merry raven Jan 18, 2025, 2:58 PM

#

frosty dock use context.first_hand_drawn

Hmmm even after using it it still didn't work, no cards converted to my Enhancement when the Blind started
What I did was to replace context.setting_blind with context.first_hand_drawn, didn't work, it also didn't work either when I included both

give me a second readding it because I think I understand how the dictionary works

and you only removed the group key?

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 3:07 PM

#

yeah

#

I added it back gonna see if it works

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 3:08 PM

i don't see how that's relevant

#

Well u see my code

#

it's spaghetti so

#

yup that was it

#

it's the group_key

#

oh cool and my dictionary worked to

#

the error is gone

#

😄

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 3:10 PM

#

that doesn't make sense

#

group_key is literally only used in one localize call inside the booster

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 3:10 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 3:10 PM

#

so even if it's controller jank idk why that would be the case

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

wait it doesn't work if I add them through debug menu

#

is that possibly it?

frosty dock Jan 18, 2025, 3:12 PM

#

that's within reason to be controller jank

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 3:13 PM

#

if I add them with the debug menu

#

close the game and reopen it they work fine

#

now not working again lmao

upper fern Jan 18, 2025, 3:19 PM

#

I've noticed that if you use the debug menu to add a joker to your 'inventory' then they can still show up in the shop again even without showman, so it might just be debug mode jank?

molten ice Jan 18, 2025, 3:19 PM

#

wild patrol wait it doesn't work if I add them through debug menu

it is indeed controller jank, any booster spawned through debug cannot be selected w/ controller. Found this when debugging stuff w/ controller a few days ago

with the dupe jokers

but i have to add the pack with debug

wild patrol Jan 18, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

Lua do be like that

upper fern Jan 18, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

figured it out, it's by adding m_(card type) to the info_queue

#

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_gold
info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_stone
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult } }
end,

the return value here is for the variables on the joker description itself

that ability seems very weak — it's harder to hit than Walkie Talkie, and gives less of a reward too

cedar stream Jan 18, 2025, 8:12 PM

#

mellow prism does anyone have an idea of how to change a card's suit? i've been looking aroun...

may i see the code?

mellow prism Jan 18, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

via joker, on scoring

#

hold on

#

this is the code my friend whipped up, and the errors being thrown because of it

cedar stream Jan 18, 2025, 8:14 PM

old or new calc?

mellow prism Jan 18, 2025, 8:16 PM

what do you mean

#

have there been changes to steammodded

cedar stream Jan 18, 2025, 8:16 PM

version of steamodded

#

what version are you on

mellow prism Jan 18, 2025, 8:18 PM

his current is 1.0.0

#

mine is 1.0.1 but i've not tested on my end yet

cedar stream Jan 18, 2025, 8:19 PM

#

this is for a consumable but, it does check for a suit and if it cant find the suit then it does something else

#

#

what is your version

hey so how do you make card skins/resource packs? I already unzipped the .exe of balatro but what do i do now?

How does Hiker work in the base game? Would it be possible to have a consumable that applies an effect like Hiker but with an increasing number of chips each time its triggered, and only have it apply to cards of a specific rank?

#

I have my lua script in the mods folder but for some reason it's not finding it (using Steammodded and lovely both work and I can see the mod window, other mods, but not mine)

Ahh okay i think i got it 🙂

tender gale Jan 18, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

What that exactly is is a consumable that when first used gives +5 chips to all twos

wintry brook Jan 18, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

lethal mural why does this crash the game with an "attempt to compare string to number" error...

try commenting out certain lines until it works, then figure out why that line is causing the crash

tender gale Jan 18, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

but each time you use another one of the same consumable the amount of chips it gives increases

cedar stream Jan 18, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

lethal mural it has a hangup with chips for whatever reason

replace if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play with if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring

tender gale Jan 18, 2025, 9:15 PM

#

I mean, another thing I was thinking of is have it tied to a variable that goes up by one when the consumable is used

lethal mural Jan 18, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

oh huh

#

i found the problem

#

my dumbass didnt realize you cant load a save while testing

#

ok so i think what caused the issue in the first place is that BalaUI puts "" around the values in the extra config
after removing them it still crashed because i was trying to load a previous save to test in which you cant do oops

leaden wren Jan 18, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

okay we're getting somewhere
joker_main isn't the right context but that's for after i get this even ingame at all
so: how do I get this to appear as an actual joker in the list I can cheat in and test?

How could I calculate how many Enhanced Cards are in the full deck

outer dagger Jan 18, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

This is my second day Balatro modding but I program in C a lot sorry cute

upper fern Jan 18, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

worthy stirrup How could I calculate how many Enhanced Cards are in the full deck

I was looking at this earier, I made an effect based on what Drivers Licence does

#

      if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then                      
        if self.ability.name == "Driver's License" then 
            self.ability.driver_tally = 0
            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then self.ability.driver_tally = self.ability.driver_tally+1 end
            end
        end    
      end

basically to start with you need an update function to tally up the amount of cards its looking for, for the description

#

then in the calculate function you do whatever you do based on that code

#

if you wanna copy one of my jokers and see how a similar effect is done

📎 sevenSamura.lua

#

in my case the function gets the number of 7-rank cards in the deck, divides that by 7, and then multiplies by 100 to get chips

outer dagger Jan 18, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

vagrant cedar *-=

Should be a decrement integer operation

worthy stirrup Jan 18, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

So, something like this for the update?

  update = function(self, card, dt)
    if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then
        card.ability.extra.EnhancedAmount = 0
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(v) then
              card.ability.extra.EnhancedAmount = card.ability.extra.EnhancedAmount+1
            end
        end
    end
end

sudden pine part of me feels like it might be an issue with gimp discarding unused RGB info ...

No, the outline issue is caused by how the game/love2d processes sprites with antialiasing

#

It can be fixed by adding a 0-alpha outline of a color of neighboring pixels around the sprites, but it's a lot of manual labor

#

I have a script that is able to fix this automatically

I can share it if you want

It requires python and pillow to run, and also edit the file and change the path (YOUR_USERNAME_HERE and YOUR_MODNAME_HERE)

To use it either just launch as-is and it will process all the sprites in the mod folder (if the path is correct), or alternatively, it can process individual sprites from the mod's 1x folder if you drag & drop them into the script file (doesn't work on images outside of the mod folder)

worthy stirrup should i also replace self.ability.extra.XMult?

probably

leaden wren Jan 19, 2025, 12:28 AM

it also seemed to be loading the code fine?

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 12:28 AM

remove the = after SMODS.Joker

leaden wren Jan 19, 2025, 12:28 AM

aha!

wish VScode picked that up, but hey

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 12:29 AM

it probably didn't because the statement you have is valid lua

just doesn't do what you want

leaden wren Jan 19, 2025, 12:30 AM

okay, now my joker crashes when trying to score

      card.ability.extra.XMult = 1
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then card.ability.extra.XMult = card.ability.extra.XMult+1 end

Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra
there should probably be .XMult at the end of that

worthy stirrup Jan 19, 2025, 12:34 AM

damn, it really do be the simple oversights

#

hm

#

i dont think it should be trying to add a table as a mult

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 12:39 AM

wintry brook debugPlus does it with the add mult/chips button i think

i dont think its debug plus that adds the +10 chips/mult buttons

#

i believe those are built in debug options

upper fern Jan 19, 2025, 12:39 AM

did you replace the vars= one as well to have the .XMult

yea

ionic verge is there a way to *set* chips/mult to something? not add not multiply, set

so does anyone have any input on this problem?

wintry brook Jan 19, 2025, 12:43 AM

#

you could also check how plasma deck does it, i just remembered that

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 12:44 AM

#

ionic verge so does anyone have any input on this problem?

i think there's global variables for current chips and current mult

it'd be nice to have live updates, but it seems you need to "take ownership" and such, but i can't find documentation

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 12:51 AM

#

ionic verge hmmmm

is there a way to get log of an arbitrary base?

#

math library is saying theres only logs for base e and base 10

#

im needing base 2

#

also does anyone know the specific version of lua does this game use?

#

i know its not 5.3

#

but im also assuming its 5. something

wintry brook Jan 19, 2025, 12:55 AM

#

you can just use a log transformation right

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 12:55 AM

#

probably

#

how'd i do that exactly?

#

i might have learned that in calc but i dont remember if i did

wintry brook Jan 19, 2025, 12:56 AM

#

iirc from calculus its log10(X) / log10(B) = logB(X)

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 12:56 AM

that was a precal thing iirc

You can define a new Color using the HEX function then use the V: text tag to set the Color to that variable

i've never made a mod for this game before but have coding experience and lua is obviously pretty easy. i'm currently debating whether i should start small with a set of jokers or jump to "the big one" and try a mod inspired by lethal company lol (blind amounts are lower, shop is larger but you have to keep money until the end of an ante and pass a quota to survive) (obviously needs some work but the concept hooked me LMAO)

dreamy thunder i did but im a bit confused

another idea
make a counter variable in the config, then have it count up at end of round and make it so that the joker only does its actual stuff when that counter is greater than x value

How can i force every joker in the shop into a negative

Hi, would someone be interested in helping me figure out how to mod the game? Sit down, go through examples, how a mod is set up, make a small example mod with me? I have zero knowledge in lua but I'm confident I can patch together some stuff to make a mod happen :)

if you want to recreate a feature that is already in the game / closesly matches what already exists dig through the games code to see how it was done

foggy carbon Jan 19, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

excellent. The text works. Now to get everything else working (already got the cards properly flipping, it's just the other two parts)

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

wintry brook Args was a local variable that decks use in their effect function

ok how could i find where it defines args

foggy carbon Jan 19, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

args is usually the name of a generic variable passed into a function.

#

so it'd be defined at function creation

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

well here
but like
this isnt really helping me

#

cus i want to know where it gets args.chips/mult from

wintry brook Jan 19, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

Probably in state_events or common_events

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

in back.lua?

#

or elsewhere

wintry brook Jan 19, 2025, 1:27 AM

State_events.lua or common_events.lua

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 1:27 AM

ok

#

...
is it really that simple

#

actually

#

no

#

thats total chips

might be those though

yup got the timer thing workng

however, the counters dont update when it does what i have it set to do
does anyone have any input?

cerulean rose isn't that `joker_main`?

joker_main is the main scoring phase of jokers

gotcha

tight thistle Jan 19, 2025, 4:37 AM

what?

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 4:38 AM

#

compile a table of all cards of the desired rank, choose a random one, and destroy

tight thistle Jan 19, 2025, 4:38 AM

#

im not looking to destroy them from the full deck, just the scored hand

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 4:39 AM

then use context.scored_hand

leaden wren Jan 19, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

lua is gonna make me go mad

#

genuinely cannot comprehend how this is nil

lavish mesa Jan 19, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

tight thistle im not looking to destroy them from the full deck, just the scored hand

It's better to do it after all joker calculations, before putting cards to discard:

functions/state_events.lua

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = (function()     
            if G.GAME.modifiers.debuff_played_cards then

Before this part you can insert your logic

delay(0.3)
    if G.GAME.selected_back.name == 'Random Deck' then
        for i=1, #scoring_hand do
            local card = scoring_hand[i]
            logic to destroy 
        end
     end

#

Don't forget to handle Glass Cards properly

#

otherwise destroying them will not add mult to Glass Joker for example

#

And in order for jokers that do sth when card is destroyed
after doing your destroy calculation you will need to call calculate_joker once more

leaden wren Jan 19, 2025, 4:45 AM

#

~~okay i searched on github and found code that does what i need the murderous urges are gone~~

#

nevermind i'm going insane

#

Alas,,,

lavish mesa Jan 19, 2025, 4:46 AM

#

@tight thistle if your destroy logic is simple enough you can put it here:

functions/state_events.lua
in this loop, func: G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

local cards_destroyed = {}
        for i=1, #scoring_hand do
            local destroyed = nil
            --un-highlight all cards
            highlight_card(scoring_hand[i],(i-0.999)/(#scoring_hand-0.998),'down')

#

like that

#

then you will not need to recalculate card destroy joker effects

#

because they are handled at the end of this loop

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 4:46 AM

#

no, use calculate

#

and put remove = true in your return table

lavish mesa Jan 19, 2025, 4:47 AM

#

That's if joker removing card

#

if the removing effect is caused by sth else

#

it's the way to do it

wintry brook Jan 19, 2025, 4:47 AM

#

unfortunately true

#

doing patches for such a simple effect =(

lavish mesa Jan 19, 2025, 4:48 AM

#

For example if you are doing a Back that will remove random cards

#

calculate_joker is not a place to do it

tight thistle Jan 19, 2025, 4:48 AM

#

it is a joker destroying the cards

lavish mesa Jan 19, 2025, 4:49 AM

#

tight thistle it is a joker destroying the cards

then yep, in calculate_joker
just search for examples from joker that removes 1st discarded card and gives you 3$

should be very easy then

wintry brook Jan 19, 2025, 5:10 AM

wintry brook is this not how you use the destroy card context

the only way i can get it to do what i want is to context.before, loop through all cards then destroy them manually but that causes phantom cards to be in the deck. anyone know how to fix that

in your joker definition

leaden wren Jan 19, 2025, 5:15 AM

OKAY I CHANGED NOTHING BUT IT WORKS NOW
HERE'S THE CODE TO GENERATE A COMPLETELY RANDOM CONSUMABLE
AUGH

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then

          SMODS.add_card {
            set = 'Consumeables',
            area = G.consumeables,
            soulable = true,
          }

          play_sound('myo_opencan')
          return {
            dollars = card.ability.extra.cost*-1
          }
      end
    end

#

hmm
now i think i just need to verify that the consumable area won't fill up

which is easy

ionic verge this looks right, right?

no, the SMODS.calculate_effect call should be in the event function

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

cerulean rose no, the `SMODS.calculate_effect` call should be in the event function

it is

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

leaden wren as an argument to inspect? hmmmm

no, it's a separate function

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

ionic verge it is

no its not

ionic verge Jan 19, 2025, 6:38 AM

lucid owl how could i make this discard only one card, instead of two?

bumping this

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

try changing bounds of for loop

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 6:54 AM

#

cerulean rose try changing bounds of `for` loop

this worked lol! i was misreading the syntax of a for loop

#

any way i could make a variable of the rank of the removed card? like, if a 7 was removed, set a variable to 7. i'm unsure if this could work perfectly as this uses "the hook"'s code, which removes a card rather than discarding it

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:08 AM

#

selected_card.base.value

foggy carbon Jan 19, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

So, this used to work, when I was using the old syntax to define the joker. How do I detect the joker now?

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

needs to be j_modprefix_key

foggy carbon Jan 19, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

ahh

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:18 AM

#

but also you should use SMODS.find_card

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 7:22 AM

#

cerulean rose `selected_card.base.value`

every time i try to do an operation on it (specifically card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + (card.ability.extra.mult_gain * num)) it gives me an error about trying to perform arithmetic on a nil value, do you know what the issue could be?

foggy carbon Jan 19, 2025, 7:26 AM

#

is num defined?
is card.ability.extra.mult_gain defined?

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:27 AM

#

also if you want the chips value it would be selected_card:get_chip_bonus()

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 7:29 AM

#

foggy carbon is `num` defined? is `card.ability.extra.mult_gain` defined?

yes, here's the full function (i could easily be doing something wrong though lol)

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:31 AM

#

can we see the config definition

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:31 AM

#

cerulean rose also if you want the chips value it would be `selected_card:get_chip_bonus()`

also do this

#

also is there a reason the upgrade happens way after the discard?

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 7:32 AM

#

cerulean rose can we see the `config` definition

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 7:32 AM

#

cerulean rose also is there a reason the upgrade happens way after the discard?

nothing specifically, i just forgot to reorder it lol

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 7:34 AM

#

cerulean rose also do this

the idea is that it adds x0.01 * the rank of a random discarded card to the multiplier, not the chip value

#

i'm pretty new to lua so apologies for any incompetence lmao

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:36 AM

#

so jacks should be 11?

#

if so then u want selected_card.base.id

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 7:38 AM

#

cerulean rose so jacks should be 11?

i figured face cards should be just a 10, aces an 11

cerulean rose Jan 19, 2025, 7:39 AM

#

oh then i think selected_card.base.nominal?

#

check raised fist

runic pecan Jan 19, 2025, 7:52 AM

What should I do if I want to have two messages appear on different places (namely one on a joker and the other on a playing card) at the same event/timing?

lucid owl Jan 19, 2025, 8:09 AM

#

cerulean rose oh then i think `selected_card.base.nominal`?

didn't work either, raised fist uses G.hand.cards[i].base.nominal for its mult, which makes me think it's something with selected_card

#

i may just have to adapt raised fist which does this

#

                    if self.ability.name == 'Raised Fist' then
                        local temp_Mult, temp_ID = 15, 15
                        local raised_card = nil
                        for i=1, #G.hand.cards do
                            if temp_ID >= G.hand.cards[i].base.id and G.hand.cards[i].ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card' then temp_Mult = G.hand.cards[i].base.nominal; temp_ID = G.hand.cards[i].base.id; raised_card = G.hand.cards[i] end
                        end
                        if raised_card == context.other_card then 
                            if context.other_card.debuff then
                                return {
                                    message = localize('k_debuffed'),
                                    colour = G.C.RED,
                                    card = self,
                                }
                            else
                                return {
                                    h_mult = 2*temp_Mult,
                                    card = self,
                                }

i may have lost my thought process and now i have no idea why this doesnt work 😭

faint yacht Jan 19, 2025, 10:49 AM

#

frosty dock we have context.other_consumeable

Yeah, I use that for the Win98 Joker... but I have a Voucher being redeemed being the main condition. Where would I put the check?

frosty dock Jan 19, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

oh I misread 🥴

#

unless we add calculation to vouchers, you'd just have to hook calculate_joker

faint yacht Jan 19, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Though, because of Card: being in front, that's a part of the hooking too, correct?

#

local calcjoker_ref = Card:calculate_joker

function Card:calculate_joker(context)
  ...
  Card:calcjoker_ref(context)
end

frosty dock Jan 19, 2025, 11:28 AM

#

faint yacht ```lua local calcjoker_ref = Card:calculate_joker function Card:calculate_joker...

that's not how that works

#

return calcjoker_ref(self, context)

#

though something like that won't actually stack with observatory

#

so maybe I do just make voucher calculation thonk

faint yacht Jan 19, 2025, 11:30 AM

#

That'd be the easier route, tbh.

#

...would this mean I am at least partially responsible for score_card and this now? 😛

storm kraken Jan 19, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

update = function(self, card, dt)
        if not G.SETTINGS.paused and G.jokers then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',  blocking = false, delay = card.ability.extra.seconds * G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED, func = function()

        return true end }))
        end
        end,

im sorry this is like the third time im posting this same code but slightly different but it seems like something is happening with either update function or the card.ability stuff thats making it add up so much (for context i only want the joker to get 1 chip every second but its reaching like 700 chips in 2)

faint yacht Jan 19, 2025, 11:43 AM

#

From what I notice, G.TIMERS.REAL could be used. You'd just need to set the "current" value of G.TIMERS.REAL to a custom value in the Joker and then set chips based on G.TIMERS.REAL minus the initial value to get the time that had passed since the initial addition of the Joker to hand.

#

math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL) % 60 will give you the current timer in seconds since launch of game, though.

wintry solar Jan 19, 2025, 11:55 AM
