everything works currently except for the money decrease variable
It shows up as nil in the card description and afaik doesn't reduce the money gained
frosty dock
nothing happens
smods version?
ionic verge
should be newest
lemme check
i for sure got it after old calc was replaced
unless there was an important update within the last 1.5 weeks i dont think its a problem
foggy carbon
okay, I know about table.insert(info_queue, but how do I, like, make the thing that's in the queue just a block of text rather than something else's definition?
frosty dock
you can put a description in the Other set and just put something like { set = 'Other', key = 'whatever' } into info_queue
ionic verge
smods version?
yeah i downloaded it on the 10th and that was from the latest release thing in the download guide
so should be pretty new

its working
but only 1 card is getting destroyed
from 3 copies of the guy
foggy carbon
I used this
ionic verge
hardy viper
well yeah
ionic verge
does anyone have any input?
hardy viper
they'll destroy the same thing because the destruction is done after calculation
hardy viper
add a will_destroy flag to the card and check that before setting highest
if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.destroy_card then
local highest = nil
for _,v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
if (not highest or v:get_id() > highest:get_id()) and not v.will_destroy then highest = v end
end
if context.destroy_card == highest then highest.will_destroy = true return { remove = true } end
end
like so
ionic verge
add a `will_destroy` flag to the card and check that before setting highest
new problem
hardy viper
huuh
ionic verge
copied your code exactly
ionic verge
i just need one that works
hardy viper
if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.destroy_card and not card.ability.extra.has_destroyed_this_hand then
local highest = nil
for _,v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
if (not highest or v:get_id() > highest:get_id()) and not v.will_destroy then highest = v end
end
if context.destroy_card == highest then highest.will_destroy = true card.ability.extra.has_destroyed_this_hand = true return { remove = true } end
elseif context.joker_main then card.ability.extra.has_destroyed_this_hand = false
end
try that
hardy viper
oh yeah
extra is not automatically created uh
if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.destroy_card and not card.ability.has_destroyed_this_hand then
local highest = nil
for _,v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
if (not highest or v:get_id() > highest:get_id()) and not v.will_destroy then highest = v end
end
if context.destroy_card == highest then highest.will_destroy = true card.ability.has_destroyed_this_hand = true return { remove = true } end
elseif context.joker_main then card.ability.has_destroyed_this_hand = false
end
just remove the 'extra's?

bumping this, atm in my mod you can discard & play cards while the transformation animation plays which is weird
lethal mural
is there any way to make an added card guaranteed to have an enhancement
stiff locust
is there any way to make an added card guaranteed to have an enhancement
yeah
poll_enhancement
lethal mural
where do i put that
stiff locust
around the spot where you add the seal
value:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[SMODS.poll_enhancement({guaranteed = true, type_key = 'randomnumbergenerator'})], true, false)
replace value with whatever you use to reference the added card
the type_key field is used for the seed to randomly generate an enhancement
lethal mural
so like this?
stiff locust
yeah that should work
also you can do the same thing for the seal
to get a random seal
lethal mural
and edition?
stiff locust
yeah and edition
lethal mural
does edition include negative
stiff locust
it can if you want it to
you can specify what editions it chooses from
and toggle if negative is available
lethal mural
yeah i want it to
stiff locust
value:set_seal(SMODS.poll_seal({guaranteed = true, type_key = 'randomnumbergenerator'}), true, false)
for seal
card:set_edition(poll_edition("randomseed", nil, true, true, {"e_foil", "e_holo","e_polychrome"}))
this edition poll does foil/holo/polychrome and has no negative
i cant remember if its the first or second true that toggles no_neg, but the last argument is an optional argument containing a table with every edition you wanna choose from
lethal mural
it didnt add an enhancement to the card huh
stiff locust
well why not
lethal mural
is G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced the problem
lethal mural
lets see
oh hey it worked
it deposited a stone card
though if its supposed to give "3 Jacks" i probably should remove stone from the pool
because yeah its TECHNICALLY still a jack underneath but like
stiff locust
i don't know how to do that
when my poll enhancement makes a stone card I just
reroll it until it stops being a stone card
while value.config.center_key == "m_stone" do
value:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[SMODS.poll_enhancement({guaranteed = true, type_key = 'randomseed'})], true, false)
end
if you wanna do my botched method here you go
the indents are off because discord but yk how it works
lethal mural
oki
lethal mural
`card:set_edition(poll_edition("randomseed", nil, true, true, {"e_foil", "e_holo...
oh yeah for this are the chances for each how you'd expect them to be
like would polychrome be still rare
stiff locust
yeah it uses the vanilla weights
lethal mural
ok cool
stiff locust
you can specify your own weights if you want to
lethal mural
ok its still not
working
it either adds only the edition and seal or only the enhancement
wait i have an idea
it seems poll_enhancement has an options list like poll_edition
i just need to figure out what the names of the enhancements are
vocal verge
banger
random sleet
oh you know it's good when the error screen is this blue
lethal mural
i figured out how to make 3 of them as well damnnn we are on a roll
epic for i = 0, 2, 1 do moment
cerulean rose
if you want to check for enhancements you should use SMODS.has_enhancement
although in your case you should probably use SMODS.has_no_rank so it will also catch modded enhancements that remove a card's rank (like ortalab's ore cards)
cerulean rose
the issue here is that it starts as base
if you use a repeat…until loop it should work
lethal mural
i uh.. don't know how i'd go about that
i only just figured out how to even add cards not that long ago ,,

if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 or context.other_card:get_id() == 12 or context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
new_minus = 3 + card.ability.extra.minus_mult
end
end```
you make a variable called scored_card for tracking all the scored cards but when checking if the card is a face you use context.other_cardi also think you should do this loop in context.before otherwise it might run multiple times

i think the whole calculate function could just be this

card.ability.extra.mult = 15
for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
if v:is_face() then
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult - card.ability.extra.minus_mult
end
end
return {
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }

set it to 15, loop through the scoring hand, remove minus_mult from the mult every time theres a face, then return the mult

problem, how do i stop the number in the description from changing alongside the effect mult?
it should always say "+15 Mult"
leaden wren
that's just what you're defining in loc_txt, no
it's pointing to a variable that's changing
redefine it to point to one that isn't
tight thistle
redefine it to point to one that isn't

but then oversat/glitched wouldn't work
leaden wren
hmm, having trouble understanding why this isn't working...
it's SUPPOSED to
- hit joker eval phase
- do the event (it is)
- change the value (it is)
- play the sound (it is)
- return the message (it isn't, i'm guessing i have to do it with a different function instead of trying to return it here)
- return Xmult AFTER all of that (it's not giving any xmult at all, no matter what)
OH!
okay
first issue gone
i think, anyway
leaden wren
no wiki entries
Man.....

yeah bettercalc still isn't well documented

mr. lovely could i ask that in the release notes the expanded patch targets section mentions explicitly that --dump-all is useful for getting the target field for cross-mod patching? maybe save other people some condescending remarks and such
@gaunt thistle 
gaunt thistle
I figured that
Every encountered buffer can be dumped, not just the ones that have been patched. Alongside each is a text file which contains the internal name of the buffer - use this name in the target field of patches.
would be enough but it's a good request
let me write it up real quick

having the information in different sections

it's ok! improving docs is always really important
I've been trying to do a better job at it with this release
anyhow take a peek and lmk if it's a bit better
leaden wren
not to mention maintaining documentation is a very, like
"oh i know all of these things so i would never think to write down X"
the documentation i write is faaaairly different (unreal modding stuff) but it's mostly the same
gaunt thistle
it can be difficult to get yourself out of the "I made this so I know everything" and into mindset of a normal user
sturdy compass
Making sure people understand how Unreal stuff works is a piece of work in it of itself lol

I find it's even harder to write good developer documentation though

is there a way to know, within loc_vars, where the function is called? I have an idea to push something to info_queue that is a large block of text, and it might be better for the user experience if it only pops up within the collection page and not actual gameplay

rough furnace
leaden wren
okay so
i need help with timing
i want
- the calculation to happen BEFORE the joker gets its mult
- the message to pop up ASAP when the sound plays (if possible)
the 4s delay in there is for it to test
it seems that if i use calculate function at all it only happens when the delay is done
...which is bad, since i want it to be visible before the XMult appears
but i have no idea how to "reorder" these things in the event queue, or something
i've heard tell of the context.after
is that the solution?
rough furnace
You probably need to dispatc events for what you want to do manually instead of retuning
leaden wren
rephrase?
i'm basically banging my head against lua until i learn it here
you're saying i should add another event with a calculate effect to do xmult?
instead of leaving it up to the return value
leaden wren
okay word
that shouuuld fix both things
rough furnace
SMODS.eval_this might work https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-facing-utilities
wintry solar
okay word
that shouuuld fix both things
Can you type out the order of events how you want them to play out for me?
wintry solar
SMODS.eval_this might work https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-...
Pls no
leaden wren
okay i think i get it
event to do A and B
->
event with delay = 2 or whatever that has the xmult part in it
don't return anything
i'm guessing that separating it into two events will also fix the xmult order problem
hopefully!
wintry solar
That’s much more complicated than it needs to be
leaden wren
Can you type out the order of events how you want them to play out for me?
okay so
joker gets triggered
rng gets rolled, joker variable math happens, sound and message happen simultaneously
wait 2 seconds or whatever
do the XMult return WITH the value from step 2
right now the message happens later no matter what and the xmult is always taking the value from before the joker actually plays
wintry solar
Do you need the 2 second delay?
leaden wren
not literally two seconds, but if there's no delay the two messages happen at the same time (double/nothing & xmult) so it's a bit annoying
wintry solar

Is "Played cards that did not score will be destroyed." doable? Part of my memories keeps telling me that context.destroying_card only iters through scored cards but I'm not entirely sure about that.

i'm positive you can get unscored cards, and pass that info into an event that destroys them
that's a very op ability :D
even Trading card, which only allows 1 destruction per round, is great at deck fixing

Which means I have to either nerf it (limit to first played hand and/or destroys one card per hand) or tweak up the rarity.

Well, it's not crashing anymore, but it's not retriggering either.
It's just, inert.

what's the context for when a joker is sold?
like not the specific joker, thats context.selling_self
i mean like a joker in general
context.selling_card is for any type of card, i want to restrict it to only jokers
long sun
if context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.set == "Joker" then
minor magnet
perfect

key = 'Jokers',
path = 'Jokers.png',

'Retrigger each played {C:attention}6{} and {C:attention}9{}',

context.other_card:get_id() == 6 or
context.other_card:get_id() == 9) then
return{
message = localize('k_again_ex'),
repetitions = self.ability.extra,
card = self
}
end
end,
}
attempt to index global 'self' [a nil value]

`if context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.set == "Joker" then`
and if i wanted it to also activate when a joker is destroyed how would i go about doing that?
faint yacht
card = card
minor magnet
```SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'Jokers',
path = 'Jokers.png',
px = 71,
py...
card = self makes everything crash, use card = card like Ali said
faint yacht
self.ability.extra > card.ability.extra.repetitions
config = { extra = { repetitions = 1 } } too.

Do they just die when they reach 0

loc_vars is supposed to be a function, not a table
but you don't have vars in your description anyway
zenith ridge
Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow.
dreamy thunder
how would i get these all to be able to trigger at the same time like the lucky card? right now it wont go past the first one
faint yacht
...define a blank table and "add" effects to the table that you return after all of that?
zenith ridge
but you don't have vars in your description anyway
Yeah, relic from the tutorial tutorial which is for an x mult joker.
dreamy thunder
...define a blank table and "add" effects to the table that you return after all...
how?

how?
local effect = {}
if condition1 then effect.x_mult = card.ability.extra.xmult end

return effect

What's more appropriate for this, Uncommon or Rare? I'm a bit torn
runic pecan
Wut
minor magnet
What's more appropriate for this, Uncommon or Rare? I'm a bit torn
hmmm id say uncommon
im torn too
on one hand it can be really strong
on the other it does occupy a joker slot, which a voucher does not
maybe rare is better?
violet void
It also costs 3 dollars less
long sun
Rare. maybe Legendary.
minor magnet
legendary is way too much
long sun
no but the ability to effectively halve the blind's requirements is insane
it's like a Heiroglyph, but with no downsides (other than the slot taken) and also a -1 rounds required to win
violet void
I dont think its a -1 rounds required to win, you still need to beat 8 antes
minor magnet
what? it just works like hieroglyph, i dont see where you've got the -1 round from
runic pecan
For some reason discarded face cards did not get removed by this joker.
Can anyone help?
minor magnet
crash occurs after the joker gets destroyed by dagger

How do I get black background in {X:}?
minor magnet
{X:black} i think
remember to also {C:white}
or your text will not be readable
so it would be like {X:black,C:white}
is this balanced as is?
it does make infinite money
but its also a malus because getting rid of it is extremely hard
it also gives utility to dagger to kill it
tender gale
it does make infinite money
any infinite thing imo is unbalanced
should be like once per round or something
minor magnet
well you do make one dollar at a time
and you lose the ability to sell jokers for slots
minor magnet
that would go against the point of it being unkillable
maybe after 50 times sold the sell value goes to zero
tender gale
well ok, is this mod supposed to be vanilla balanced?
minor magnet
mostly yea
losing the ability to sell jokers to free up space to make exactly one dollar at a time is strong but not really game breaking i think
at a certain point you deserve everything you get if you have the patience to sell a joker 100 times
tender gale
You have to balance an effect like that between being too good or unusably bad
which is why these effects only appear in mods
minor magnet
originally it had 0 cost and sell value and x1.25 mult
would that be better?
actually this with campfire would go silly
tender gale
Yeah, I forgot about campfire
In its current state this Joker feels like a cryptid joker
zealous glen
is this balanced as is?
What’s a Consequence?

Hey, does anyone know of a way to place Enhancement text after bonus chips text? say I have an enhancement that doubles the total chips a card gives and that card has Hiker's 'extra chips'
+2 is base chips
+7 is my enhancement
+5 is hiker

how can i choose a random Tarot, and get both its name and ID?
(in case modded Tarots are in the game)
zealous glen
It's the Joker itself from what I gather
I can’t read 😭
zealous glen

There’s a vanilla function to create a random card
violet void
I can’t read 😭
No its the wording that made it seem like something was gonna happen
zealous glen
I thought Consequences was a type of Joker
But I didn’t realize it was the Joker itself

anyone know what generally breaks older patches in lovely 0.7.0
hardy viper
anyone know what generally breaks older patches in lovely 0.7.0
patch ordering between patterns and regex has changed
in 0.6.0 they are executed in order of appearance in the file
in 0.7.0 they are executed in order of patch type
well
not just patterns and regex
storm kraken
how would i make a voucher do something at the end of the round
faint yacht
Gotta patch or hook... or wait until Voucher calculations are implemented. Waiting for that too.
storm kraken
😭
weary jungle
how do i wait for like 3 seconds
weary jungle
like wait for 5 seconds
zealous glen
Beg aure to do it
Don’t really beg but maybe ask nicely in the Steamodded thread
But wait for what
frosty dock
actually you should beg
weary jungle
i want to space out some statements
frosty dock
then I have a reason to procrastinate for longer because I'm making you wait
weary jungle
so they happen one after another
hardy viper
how do i wait for like 3 seconds
either hog the thread for 3 seconds or make an event with a delay
weary jungle
which one is more acurate
frosty dock
note: delay only works if you use events for what you'll do after
hardy viper
which one is more acurate
i mean hogging the thread would be more "accurate" but freezing the game for 5 seconds probably isn't what you want
weary jungle
how do i keep this in sync with the music...
zealous glen
I don’t know if you can
weary jungle
custom music that plays for like 1 min
zealous glen
You can try with delays
storm kraken
Gotta patch or hook... or wait until Voucher calculations are implemented. Waiti...
so likeeeee
what is patching (or hooking)
zealous glen
But this isn’t New Super Mario Bros.

is there somewhere i can look for example planet/tarot cards? the documentation is extremely lacking on that :(
and my searches have so far brought nothing
zealous glen
@frosty dock three people begging

is there somewhere i can look for example planet/tarot cards? the documentation ...
Maybe in the Example mods
Or Bunco

ooh right hold on

i was looking at the cryptid src but it doesnt do things exactly the same way
lemme see

this is for if you have a consumableType

my goal is to create two new planet cards for the two new hands i've added, one new tarot card, and one new spectral

will do

i want to make a card speak every like 5 seconds and end after 1 min so i need some sort of timing or delay

what should i put in the loop to not have it lag

I don't think you can run that loop without lagging
You're hijacking the thread to wait

guess u gotta learn to multithread if balatro even supports that

i just want so pause until some time 😢

Hm... why do you want to pause?
