You make the card and then use redeem on it iirc

is there a template shader somewhere to start off with as a starting ground for all other shaders?

first, turn off every mod that isn't the one that's crashing

#

How do I know which one isn't crashing?

(sorry for the delay, uh, things happened) uhhh, how exactly does main_end work? like, how do we call it in the actual card text, let alone make it so it won't show up if the config setting is disabled?

turn half of them off, if it's still crashing (the same way) then none of the mods you just turned off are the problem

You can hover it and type eval dp.hovered:redeem() too

dp.hovered my beloved

#

It’s great

#

I love using it when watching shaders to change the preview card

grim remnant
#

okay, this is a stupid as hell question. how exactly do we refer to the config? this crashes on line 18, so there's no doubt that it's an issue with that if statement.

wintry solar
#

Does that live update?

rough furnace
#

no

#

cause it reopens the gui

#

I was thinking adding more jokers to the preview with like 4 set and the 4 random

#

maybe I should add some way to set what the watched joker is

wintry solar
#

Yeah I’d like that

#

Just a key in the end of the command would work right?

rough furnace
#

uhhh the command wasn't really made for that

#

especially since I don't have a good way to include spaces in options

#

I need to make a better command parser sometime

you have syntax errors once more

you added brackets to the if statement

i wonder if in context.game_over , i can make it so that instead of just skipping to the next round as if you won, i can instead give the player extra hands to work with 🤔

wintry solar
#

You’d have to do some funky work in context.after I think

bold sleet
#

There is some tweaking to be done, but here is the base conditional.

#

You can change context.joker_main to whatever the fuck you need.

tall wharf
#

sorry jimbo

grim remnant
#

we've removed the brackets yet now it's complaining about the lack of a "then" that should be there, unless for some reason the "if" statement just isn't counting it??? we're still not even sure if we're calling the config file correctly honestly.

can_use = function(self, card)

If your hands are at 0 the round kinda just ended, so you can't use it

this is an excruciatingly stupid question. discovered part of the issue was that the config page itself we set up last night was broken. how do we... how do we make it actually modify the config file?

like, the actual answer seems obvious, it's an issue with ref_table, but getting there is a whole different story and trying to work our way backwards with talisman as a reference point has us clarifying stuff like local lovely = require("lovely") that not only just spawn even more issues, but we're fairly confident those are by no means necessary.

SMODS.current_mod is only avaible during your mod loading

#

you can save the object in a table or reference it by ID with SMODS.Mods.Id

grim remnant
#

oh, we were actually fairly close it turns out!

#

the only thing now is that the actual text formatting uh, doesn't appear in the resulting strings. how do we resolve that?

hey gang - is there a good way to use pseudorandom to simply generate a random number between X and Y? i'm aware that it generates a random number between 0 and 1, which is fantastic for probabilities, but what i'm wanting to do is have it randomly generate a number to pull from a value in an array, which isn't necessarily probability
or is there another function that could be used for this sort of implementation that integrates with the game's RNG

random sleet
#

pseudorandom_element is exactly what you want

novel violet
#

oh fantastic, thank you! based on context i'm seeing in smods code i'm assuming the format is something like array/pool size and seed val

grim remnant
random sleet
#

you give it the table

novel violet
#

say i threw the name of an array i created in "pool," would that be compatible

random sleet
old bane
#

how do i declare a new consumable type in both the collection and the labels localization entries

novel violet
#

so for example, pseudorandom_element(FiveStarChars, pseudoseed('intertwined')) would generate a value from 1 to 2?

image.png
random sleet
#

it would generate "keqing" or "placeholder"

novel violet
#

OOOO actually that makes my life a lot easier

#

that is incredibly intuitive - thank you!

tall wharf
novel violet
#

coming from only having known c++ i am continually shocked by how intuitive lua stuff is 😭

novel violet
random sleet
#

pseudorandom and its derivatives are thunk's code

tall wharf
#

so no 50/50 either

random sleet
#

or like a framework he's used

rough furnace
#

I think it's origianl thunk code

edgy reef
#

🔥 🔥 🔥

novel violet
# tall wharf so no 50/50 either

so to make things less complex and redundant, i'm making it to where Intertwined Fate jokers show up in the shop as Rare and always give you a random 5-Star, but Acquaint Fate jokers (Uncommon) give you a 4-Star

#

no pity, no actual limited stuff, very much unlike the actual game

reimplementing genshin's gacha mechanics to the letter in balatro would be extremely unfun for the player, so i'm not doing that xP

hello chat, i have an issue, im trying to make this joker retrigger played cards when played hand contains a flush, but its instead triggering on every poker hand including flush, like high card and pair, whats wrong with the code?

        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and context.poker_hands['Flush'] then --if played hand contains a flush
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions, --retrigger cards
                message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                card = card
            }
        end --im not actually 100% sure this works its a bit buggy
    end```
grim remnant
#

we are absolutely not calling main_end correctly nor do we know how exactly to set it. what're we doing wrong here?

image.png image.png
zealous glen
#

and the function code is defined per Joker (or maybe imported from a file if it's shared)

#

here's an example:

#

(technically that video is outdated with the code)

grim remnant
#

the idea is that the text will change based on if config.showOrigin == true, either displaying a string specified by the loc_txt if it's true or just hiding it altogether if it's false. this text has two formats; {c:inactive,s:0.8} if true, and if false, {s:0.0}. we got tantalizingly close with a non-main_end, variable-based approach, but it couldn't display the text formatting correctly.

grim remnant
zealous glen
#

if you do want to show it, then you return the actual text as a node

maiden phoenix
zealous glen
#

I can send you a generate_main_end as an example

frosty dock
#

main_end seems overkill for this when you can just have two separate localization entries

zealous glen
#

I think accessing the second localization inside main_end is easier than changing which one the Joker uses

#

you end up with two localization entries either way

frosty dock
#

fair enough

grim remnant

old bane
#

how would i make a consumable that can only be used while inside a blind?

tepid crow
old bane
#

so like

can_use = function(self, card)
  if G.game.blind then return true
  else return false
  end
end
tepid crow
#

if G.game.blind is the proper way to check if the player is in a blind, then yes

#

oh wait it's G.GAME.blind.in_blind

do shaders support additional textures

#

wow that question ended up being so far less specific than I wanted it to be

zealous glen
rough furnace
frosty dock
# grim remnant at this point, we were clarifying it in the loc_vars of the card code itself, th...

You can't have a loc_vars in your localization file. I'd be looking at something like this for the joker's loc_vars

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  local t = { vars = { blah } }
  if config.showOrigin then t.key = self.key..'_source' end
  return t
end

and a setup as follows in your loc file

j_stla_paulJoker = {
  name = 'Paul',
  text = {
    '{C:chips}whatever else',
    'Paul.',
  }
},
j_stla_paulJoker_source = {
  name = 'Paul',
  text = {
    '{C:chips}whatever else',
    'Paul.',
    '{C:inactive,s:0.8}Origin: Paul',
  }
},
zealous glen
#

I haven't tried it but I want to sometime

humble girder
#

I was hoping there was any smods support for it

#

I definitely don't want to go back to raw opengl

rough furnace
#

what are you trying to do?

frosty dock
#

if you have an additional texture, you can draw the shader on it separately i guess?

humble girder
#

nah, I need a noise texture

frosty dock
#

it's hard to tell what you need when you're being so specific

humble girder
#

preferably one I'm not generating with math

#

yeah I dunno what's wrong with me rn I can't words like at all

#

basically, making an edition, need a pre-baked noise texture to be available in the shader

frosty dock
#

I don't shader, so i don't think my input would be of use

humble girder
#

welp, it's 10:46 PM i'm sure i have it in me to learn low level LÖVE GL stuff

zealous glen
humble girder
#

that's not really going to help alone, that can be used to pass the texture id but it still has to be loaded

zealous glen
zealous glen
humble girder
#

yes that's precisely what i'm going to figure out as soon as my attention span wanders over from discord to vscode

oh boy

#

I think the only difference is that it's an extra variable

humble girder
#

i'm looking at love

zealous glen
#

Don't look at love look at hatred

humble girder
#

i don't think there's support for loading two textures into one shader pass

zealous glen
#

There is you just pass multiple textures to the shader

humble girder
#

listen

show me an example

#

and i'll believe you

#

until then i'm believing the documentation

hey if im using neato jokers as a reference is that ok?? like if i'm looking at their code and trying to create my own jokers by learning from it

That's... That's called learning...

foggy carbon

I asked last night but chat was kinda dead.
What order does context.before vs. boss blind debuffs happen? If I want something to happen before the debuff, is context.before enough

paper zealot
#

I was going to try and link to a Joker pack released under an open license that you could just copy from (with credit), but I actually can't find any

tall tangle
# tall tangle That's... That's called learning...

Like... That's literally how plane geometry is taught. You look at things, figure out how they work, then take what you've learned from how some things work to figure out how other things work. Proofs, theorems, corollaries, it's all going based on what someone else has done, and learning from it.

#

As stated, don't just copy things and claim it as your own, but you can analyze how something is built to figure out how to build other things. That's architecture. That's development. That's learning.

#

Hell, that's how the legal world works. Precedent and all that.

        local mipmap_level = SMODS.config.graphics_mipmap_level_options[SMODS.config.graphics_mipmap_level]

            self.image:setMipmapFilter('linear', mipmap_level)
        end
    end,
}

Now self.image of an image object holds a lovely image. According to the forum post this can be sent as a uniform sampler2D

BALIATRO.Image {
    key = 'test_noise',
    path = 'test_noise.png'
}

SMODS.Shader {
    key = 'test',
    path = 'test.fs',

    send_vars = function(sprite, card)
        return {noiseTex = BALIATRO.Images['test_noise'].image}
    end,
}```

And it should be then accessible through an uniform/extern in the shader:

extern Image noiseTex;

I think you have to add the parameter to loc_vars and fix your localise arguments:

return {
    vars = {
        G.GAME.probabilities.normal, self.abilities.extra, G.C.SUITS[G.GAME.current_round.dizzy_card.suit], localize(G.GAME.current_round.dizzy_card.suit, 'suits_singular')
    }
}`
and then in your `en-us`:
```lua
`name = "Dizzy Joker",
text = "This joker has a {C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance",
" to create a {C:spectral}Spectral{} card whenever",

"Suit changes every round.",

Does current_round.x_card.suit have to be put in local vars or extra? I tried making sure the joker worked by default (without the localize files), and I'm getting an index nil value error around this line if (context.other_card:is_suit(G.GAME.current_round.dizzy_card.suit)) and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit and (pseudorandom('dizzy') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra) then for the current round suit

paper zealot
#

Neither, i think that will need to be a member of the card directly if you want to access it like that

#

But if you add it to extra then you can access it with G.GAME.current_round.dizzy_card.extra.suit easily

so add current round suit to the extra line?

# hearty crow Hi there, is there any documentation on formatting text with smods? cant find it...

I might try and tackle this, it's often asked. Briefly:

  • Pre-defined colour: {C:<colour>}
  • Movement: {E:1} is floating text, {E:2} is bumping text
  • Hover tooltip: {T:<key>}, where <key> is an element in G.P_CENTERS or G.P_TAGS
  • Text background colour: {X:<colour>} (usually used as{X:mult,C:white})
  • Custom colour: {V:<number>}, where <number> is an index of a colour passed to the text localise() through args.colours
  • Text scale: {s:<number>}
  • Reset formatting: {}
#

(Replied to wrong comment)

runic pecan
#

Wait, I don't need to ,C:white after X:mult this whole time!?

they are combinable

adding both makes the text white the background mult

Lua basically treats return foo and bar or nil as if foo == <truthy value> then return bar else return nil (ish)

So t will never be the returned value (the table with main_end will instead) and the or nil will always be ignored.

tried a comma, that didn't work... what do?

since, literally everything works but the main_end for whatever reason. (for reference, there's supposed to be a "compatibile/incomaptible" after the origin tag from the lang.)

ah, that would be the bug. he's supposed to trigger 3 times (one trigger and 2 retriggers, to be precise) for every time the joker activates, which doesn't work quite right for jokers that can, themselves, retrigger. (yes, we are acutely aware of how this could scale with some jokers and that's entirely the point given his rarity is this mod's equivalent to legendary ;P)

we assume our retrigger code is going to have to be a bit more sophisticated than it currently is, huh.

SMODS doesn't have create_playing_card, it's just from vanilla iirc

random sleet
#

ok ill delete half my oddities then

bold gyro
#

Okay, the code works perfectly fine (the card does get added to the deck etc.) BUT there's a floating stone card that just kinda appears and is chilling around. It's a result of the Marble Joker making a Stone card appear in the middle of the screen at the start of round

random sleet
#

oh hm apparently i am using a base game function

bold gyro
#

me commenting out the --G.play:emplace(card) made it so I no longer got softlocked, but there's something else I need to get rid of (I think) that would prevent the floating card from appearing

random sleet

#

The floating card is a result of not emplacing the card

Okay, it's fixed, thanks y'all! Here's what the fixed code looks like (I made some additional fixes):

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.after then 
      if hand_chips > mult then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          func = function() 
              local front = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('earthquake' .. G.SEED))
              G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
              local card = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2, G.play.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, front, G.P_CENTERS.m_stone, {playing_card = G.playing_card})
              card:start_materialize({G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced})
              G.deck:emplace(card)
              table.insert(G.playing_cards, card)
              return true
          end}))

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          func = function() 
              G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
              return true
          end}))
        return {
              message = "Rumble!"
            }

Could you send what your code looks like

#

The latest iteration of it

grim remnant
#

1 sec!

# grim remnant

After calling calculate_joker you need to set blueprint and blueprint_card to nil

#

You will want to keep a reference to blueprint_card in a different variable to use afterwards

grim remnant
#

after line 166, right?

normal crest
#

correct

#

This is how vanilla blueprint does it

zE7F3gT.png
#

Except in your case self should be card

grim remnant
#

okay, that's... odd. it's still only retriggering twice if there's 2 jokers, and only retriggering additional times the more jokers there are. even tried to copy-paste the vanilla blueprint code, and it did the same thing?

#

which implies either an error in the for loop for other_joker, or somewhere in the update function

normal crest
#

What is your code now

grim remnant
normal crest
#

Additionally you might want to add and not context.no_blueprint like vanilla blueprint does

grim remnant
#

okay, there we go. now it works as we'd expect it to. the only thing would be adding the "it triggers 3 times" thing, but it's almost 3am, so that sounds a lot like tomorrow us' problem. ;P

            fill = true

    on_load = function(card)
        card.children.particles = Particles(1, 1, 0, 0, {

you can just return the table you're defining as x here

or construct a return table if you need multiple messages

foggy carbon

oh?

#

like, push x into a table, then return the full table?

frosty dock
#

it basically supports you returning something like a linked list

#

the returned table can have an extra table which is evaluated as if it was also returned

# 
local tail = {}
local head = tail
local function append_extra(t)
  head.extra = t
  head = head.extra
end
append_extra({ message = 'blah' })
-- etc.
return tail

I'm currently trying to create a joker that will trigger an effect for the first card each of suit scored, what would the best way to do this be? I understand I need to use some sort of list but not exactly sure how.

humble girder
#

this joker triggers on the first instance of each suit being scored

#

it can get a bit annoying with blueprint compatibility

#

if you want to do first card of each suit you'll also have to wrap your head around how you want to handle wild cards

west mason
foggy carbon
#

I was gonna mention how Flower Pot (the vanilla joker, not the stats-display mod) handles wild cards, but I realized that FP only works because it looks at the whole hand at once, whereas your idea instead looks at the hand in sequential order

humble girder
#

if you care about the first instance of each suit being scored you can get away with figuring it out as you go in scoring

#

if you care about the first card with each suit scored you do kinda do something like FP

wintry solar
humble girder
#

and figure out what's what in context.before

lucid sun
#

would anyone be able to look at this and help me, trying to make it so the joker gains chips when jack of spades is played but it does not increase? have tried both of these to no success

image.png image.png
wintry solar
#

Context before doesn’t have an other_card

humble girder
#

where is your i coming from

foggy carbon
#

Flower Pot first looks for all non-wild cards, determines which suits are accounted for, and then uses wilds to fill in the blanks (one suit per wild).

I guess what you could do is, use context.before to sort out which cards get scored, and give them a flag, use context.individual to proc the joker's effect on any cards with the flag, and then use context.joker_main to remove all the flags (so that you don't have things from previous hands getting scored again.

lucid sun
spark remnant
humble girder
#

have to separately keep track of what each different card has already done in one scoring pass so that it works properly with blueprint/brainstorm

spark remnant
humble girder
#

I need to generalize it out to be able to handle any amounts of suits, but basically yes

#

if you think about it, a wild trigger is a wild trigger, it doesn't ever need to figure out what suit that actually was for the purpose of this joker

#

it will always trigger for a wild as long as it has triggered less than the total amount of suits in the game

spark remnant
#

ah ok, is that for if you have custom suits?

humble girder
#

well, yeah, if it wasn't hardcoded as 4 I'd just check the number of suits in SMODS.Suits

How often are destroy effects really a negative? I've been using them as a partial negative, but I'm considering whether I should refactor some destroy effects into permanent debuffs

#

Because cards that break are really just deck thinning, after all

inland shard
#

yeah being able to control card deletion is insanely powerful

#

debuffing is however fucking brutal since a majority of scoring jokers are based on rank and suit, so there would need to be an insane effect for the debuffing to be a good balance for the joker imo

Hmm, yeah, control's a big part of it. Maybe I should leave the cards that randomly destroy a card to do just that.

Hi all! Im so sorry for the big post I don't mean to yap, i've just come across a werid problem.

I Was wondering if maybe I could get some insight when it comes to Balatro and Sound mods?

I was hoping to replace the BGM with some other choice selections. But what I came to find is that the audio for the mp3's wouldn't loop or be cut abruptly.

So far, from what I can tell the game has a max duration setting somewhere in the code? And all songs that the game uses are played at the same time, at the exact same length. So a song finishes (the shortest appearing to be 34 seconds) that is when the whole ost "loops"

Right now, I can only think of resolving this by cutting the ost into 34 seconds and making speed up and slow down variations of each. Im fine with that, but I was wondering if im just overlooking the setting that defines the cutoff for when a song might loop?

crisp coral
#

step 1: use oggs not mp3

#

there is no max duration for songs, they just loop when they finish

jade finch
#

So is my problem for the abrupt audio cuts just the filetype?

#

or rather the failed loops?

okay that works let me format it

crisp coral
#

just return dollars don't need dollar buffer

stable agate
#

like this?

                if context.other_card.debuff then
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_debuffed'),

                        card = card,
                    }
                else
                            return {
                                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                                card = card
                            }
                end
            end
            end
    end
end
})```

well what exactly doesn't work

#

the odds or the return

stable agate
#

care to give me one sec to isolate between the return and odds real quick?

crisp coral
#

huh?

stable agate
#

In my infinite wisdom, I actually had yet to check which part of the function wasn't working between those two

jade finch
#

Thank you so much!

stable agate
#

okay so it isn't returning the dollars value

tall wharf
#

should this not destroy the entire hand scored or not

humble girder
#

don't destroy cards like that

#

that's literally why context.destroy_card exists

tall wharf
humble girder
#

uhh what are you doing exactly

tall wharf
#

if played hand contains 4 cards destroy the entire hand

humble girder
#

why are you destroying those poor cards twice

#

gotta make sure they're extra dead?

tall wharf
#

yea

humble girder
#

i'm sure that won't cause weird shit to happen all the time

tall wharf
#

just wanted to make sure they are extra dead so they don't become ghost cards

atomic edge
#

if i want to check if a sold card is a negative joker what do i add to the

if context.selling_card then

#

or is there a mod that checks if a joker specificaly is sold that i can check out?

humble girder
#

if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" and context.card.edition and context.card.edition.negative then

raw geyser
#

Is there a way to hide the Use button for a consumable?

crisp coral
#

hook to card:highlight

atomic edge
#

thanks so much

tall wharf
humble girder
#

don't start dissolving or juice

#

returning { remove = true } already will trigger the destruction of the card

tall wharf
#

alr

#

I'm trying to add a Negative playing card tooltip to a joker, but for some reason it isn't showing up when I use e_negative_playing_card. It works perfectly with any other edition. Is there a different key for the negative playing card?

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative_playing_card
    return {
      vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted }
    }
  end```

shiet

humble girder
atomic edge
#

is dissolve the only function that destroys the cards or are there any else?

humble girder
#

i think all cards are destroyed by dissolving

#

not certain

atomic edge
#

oh great then thanks

tall wharf
#

i never had to do this before

humble girder
tall wharf
#

alr

#

makes sense yea

humble girder
#

heads up, i missed an s

tall wharf
#

thx

atomic edge
#

how can i get the name of the joker if its in a card

#

maybe i phrased it wrong

#

so like for example

#

or its id

#

its whatever just important its unique

tepid crow
#

you usually use .config.center.key for that

atomic edge
#

oh thanks

bold gyro
#

also, how how do you add seal tooltips to Jokers? Like editions have G.P_CENTERS.e_edition and enhancements have G.P_CENTERS.m_enhancement

strong jacinth
#

Yoo

#

I have like 95 questions.

  1. How do I use the config with UI
  2. How do I create/modify UI
  3. How do I create something similar to the Nope text from the wheel of fortune
  4. How do i check what cards the player has in the full deck
copper ermine
#

one of my concept jokers makes scaling jokers scale twice as quickly (so for example green joker would gain +2 mult per hand, wee joker would gain 16, etc) is this possible + how would i implement this like do i have to specify and modify every vanilla scaling joker

strong jacinth
copper ermine
#

lol

strong jacinth
#

But i cant say anything. My jokers are broken(er?)

manic rune
#

yeah so uh currently

#

it still acknowledges that a card is in the new card area

#

but it doesnt seem to render anything

#

odd

random sleet
strong jacinth
manic rune
#

nope, its an entirely new card area

hushed field
# random sleet

the six elements, earth, fire, stars, more earth, mario and glass

strong jacinth
#

(Curius)

manic rune
#

its where the joker card area is

#

when you press the Show Gacha Results button, an UI comes down which takes its position

#

totally not inspired by joyousspring whatsoever

strong jacinth
tall wharf
manic rune
#

i have this thing

hardy viper
manic rune
#

which uhhhh gachas ❤️

#

but basically currently, it only gives you a joker of the highest rarity rn

tall wharf
manic rune
#

💀

strong jacinth
manic rune
#

it will add all the 5 jokers you rolled from the ticket there

#

then you can choose to add them to your joker area or not

#

the next time you use the ticket, everything in the gacha results area is wiped

#

that is if i can even see the card in the card area

#

odd

red flower
manic rune
#

i dont know how but your mod always seems to have every ui element i need

#

🙏

here's the PSA Slab Joker fully finished with the random card grading values for each copy of the joker

west mason

its a random rare joker after all

autumn coral
#

you should make a shader that adds a random smudge in some part of it that is barely noticeable like 1x2 pixels and then make it a psa 6 because of it

stable agate
#

if I'm wanting to check that a card has NO enhancement, is checking something like other_card.ability == false possible, or do I have to manually input other_card.ability.name ~= "enhancement name"?

hushed field

# stable agate Thanks

though you may want to use SMODS.has_enhancement, which I think can also check for base

#

Depending on whether you wanna check for whether the card is enhanced, or is going to count for an enhancement

stable agate
#

Just check if it's enhanced. The desired effect is unenhanced 2-5's gain extra chips

hushed field
#

SMODS supports quantum enhancements which is for jokers that have effects like (all 7s count as Lucky cards). Just checking G.P_CENTERS.c_base will not count those enhancements. has_enhancement will. Though if you're not using quantum enhancements, it's really only something to think about when it comes to mod compatibility

onyx sonnet
stable agate
#

I'm wanting to think about it now just in case, because several mods add unique enhancements. But stuff like "all x cards count as y enhancement" isn't what I'm looking to debuff necessarily. I'd only want to do something like if you had paradolia to turn cards gold through midas mask, detect that they are in fact golden and don't trigger the joker

strong jacinth
#

Does anyone maybe know

broken cliff
#

might help u

#

u can also check previews

#

Ah, ic

#

Good luck in doing so!

manic rune
#

yeah uh real quick, is this the correct check for 0.6% rng stuff?

image.png
#

randomRNG is pseudorandom

broken cliff
manic rune
#

its 6

#

theres /1000 at the end to effectively cut it down to 0.6%

#

(at least, thats what i think it should do)

broken cliff
#

isnt randomrng a value from 0 to 1

#

actually yh

#

its right

#

should be

manic rune
#

im honestly hitting that 0.6% a lot, not sure if im messing up something or its genuinely just my luck 😭

#

i printed all the numbers to make sure, it is indeed 0.006 after the /1000

broken cliff
#

theres 2 conditions

manic rune
#

you would need SpecialPity to hit 90

#

aka uhhh

grim remnant
#

it seems tomorrow enough. how can we make it so a blueprint procs its effect three times instead of just once? tried to have 3 calls of other_joker_ret on line 169, which. did not work. ;P

image.png
manic rune
#

about 18 uses of the item

#

so its definitely not the problem, i also printed SpecialPity whenever i used the item too lol

broken cliff
#

or updates

manic rune
broken cliff
#

hm

tall wharf
manic rune
#

but maybe it is my luck, thats the hard part about debugging rng stuff

tall wharf
#

ok it's barely related

manic rune
#

you never know if its bugged or not

#

😭

tall wharf
#

i just realized what psa slab is

broken cliff
#

thats how it works in almanac ig

image.png
#

it divides 1 by a probability

#

1/36, 1/50, 1/1000

#

and it also does < instead of <=
