I JUST GOT THE EGG JOKE

that took me a second i related to the sexy part but i do be a the that

[chrome widget]

Flirty transfem joker that makes comments about every other woman joker you add to your slots, as well as a few miscellanous gags

[tall apex]

real asf

oh, question

[chrome widget]

Yep yep??

[tall apex]

um, my jonkler doesnt work and crashes the game X3

[chrome widget]

WHOOPS. Show me your crash log

[tall apex]

i am trying to make a joker that just adds 5 chips whenever any other joker triggers

[tardy wind]

Yoooo, anyone's got a quick setup guide for mods ?

[chrome widget]

Well, the error points to a function called get_compressed(), which is a loading function

[tall apex]

hmm

[chrome widget]

It's used almost entirely for loading save data values for your profile

Did you accidentally corrupt your profile or something?

[tall apex]

guh?

no it does this when my silly tries to exist

[chrome widget]

Confirm that it doesn't occur when you don't add the joker

Just in case

[tall apex]

okie c:

i mean this code probibly doessn't work the way i think it does

. 3.

[sturdy compass]

Can you show the full code?

[chrome widget]

oh wait lmao you're working on cardsauce

[tall apex]

guh?

oh im not on the project, this is my own mod c:

i just enjoy it

[chrome widget]

Nono I just saw you posted that you're working off it in the cardsauce server

[tall apex]

OHHHHHHHH

yur

im learnding

[chrome widget]

I also used cardsauce as a basis b/c Gote/BarrierTrio is a friend of mine and we're working on this as a spin-off ish mod for a JoJo server we're both in

[tall apex]

oh that's sick!!

[turbid maple]

okay what the hell are you supposed to do with desc_nodes in generate_ui

[tall apex]

if you wanna see the joker i made earlier today gote pinned it in mod discussion LMAO

[chrome widget]

In generate_ui, if you add stuff to the desc_nodes table, it'll show up on the UI

generate_ui is an...... interesting function

[turbid maple]

I appened some random example node

it crashes and burns because at some point it tries to index variable node in set_parent_child

[tall apex]

also my little spungus is the cause of the crash i played about 3 antes in on the same seed

[chrome widget]

Out of curiosity, add another set of braces around the outermost node

But my other suspicion is that you probably don't need to add the ROOT node

So instead start from the second outermost node

[turbid maple]

what the hell???

[chrome widget]

Any given UI tree has exactly one root, and desc_nodes is probably (I say this without having looked at the code) childed under something else that has a root

[turbid maple]

oh my god

[latent portal]

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!

[chrome widget]

👍

[latent portal]

GUYS

I FUCKING DID IT

[turbid maple]

so each entry of desc_node is a...

uh..

an array of nodes??

[chrome widget]

Yep

[turbid maple]

huh.

[chrome widget]

Tree structure, it'll append as many as you give it

and then resize them according to the config values on the parent (which in this case are probably specified somewhere for joker descriptions, but idk where)

[turbid maple]

I assumed an element of a desc_nodes would be, a singular node

[chrome widget]

Each node can contain an array of nodes, is the thing

[turbid maple]

so I was trying to set it to a singular node containing nodes = {...}

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent portal]

hey whats the color for gray text and stuff

[chrome widget]

{C:inactive}{}

[latent portal]

thanks

[gilded narwhal]

hey guys how would i make it so it actually shows the correct price when i initially enter the shop because for some reason it only updates after you reroll

[plush cove]

calculate_reroll_cost(true)

[tall apex]

I GOT IT

yibeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

two jokers in one night, i'm proud c:

[merry raven]

I want to create a global function that constantly checks if there are remaining stickers in the deck at the end of a round, and if there are, clear them

I'm not sure if this is the way to do it, any insights?

[tardy wind]

In joker description, how can I have a dynamic variable ? Say i want to display a mult that changes
Im checking other mods, but i dont think im getting it

[chrome widget]

oh lord, good question

The easiest way to do this I think is using the generate_ui function

I have an example right here:

Unless you just mean displaying a variable by base, which is built into loc_vars

[tall tangle]

Well how do Runner, Yorick, Obelisk, etc. do it?

[chrome widget]

It gets a lot harder when you want to do conditional formatting

[tardy wind]

yes loc_vars ! ok now i think I get it

[chrome widget]

Okay good yeah sorry I just had flashbacks attempting to do a joker that switched between displaying xMult and +Mult

No you just pass in a variable in the return table for loc_vars

[tardy wind]

conditionals I'll figure out a lazy way around it

[scarlet spire]

for example #1# in your joker's description would be written out as the first variable in your loc_vars

[latent portal]

quick question

what's the best way to get the score of a hand that's currently being played

[tall wharf]

the what

[merry raven]

Use loc_vars and config

Take my joker for example:

    key = "bladefury",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Bladefury",
        text = {
            "Charge with 5 {C:green}Strand{} cards.",
            "When charged, playing a {C:attention}Pair{}",
            "or a {C:attention}High Card{} will",
            "slice them into equivalent pairs,",
            "cloning them but with halved ranks.",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently: {C:attention}#1#{C:inactive})"
        }
    },```

config = {
extra = {
charge = 0,
}
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.charge .. "/5 Charging" } }
end,

`#1#` will point to a changeable variable in your description. The number in the hash symbol will determine the position of the value you're putting in it (in this case 1 points to the first value defined in `config`, which `charge`)

`loc_vars` will output return the values defined at `#1#`'s position

And basically you can modify the value anywhere in your code by doing `card.ability.extra.[the value in your config]`, this is mine: `card.ability.extra.charge = math.min(5, card.ability.extra.charge + 1)`

[latent portal]

the score of a hand being played

like after score is processed

how many chips it scored

[tall wharf]

i think it's something like G.GAME.current_round.something

actually have you tried looking around in the source code

like i think you'll have to multiply them

[latent portal]

found it

G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.chip_total

huh

i can't get context.after to work

is it deprecated or something??

does anyone know why it doesn't do anything

[tardy wind]

Thank you for the tip !

[turbid maple]

GAHH these are nodes with n = G.UIT.R containing two text nodes why are they going into columns

[green plank]

this is about right, but i still need to figure out how to restrict it

[latent portal]

hey how do i make a joker grant money again

im returning money = card.ability.extra.money but nothing's happening

[turbid maple]

huh??????

[stray warren]

I think it's dollars

[plush cove]

ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.money)

or if you want it to happen at the end of the round, you'd write a calc_dollar_bonus() thing

[stray warren]

You could do that too I guess, but returning dollars = x should work as well

[latent portal]

yeah i do want it to happen at the end of the round but thats only if you dont have anything else to calculate right

[plush cove]

i think it works for calculating other things as well

[gilded narwhal]

why are these getting rounded up?

it should just multiplying the price of everything by the current ante but its adding 1 for some reason

[stray warren]

set_cost() does some math.max shenanigans, so it's probably related to that

[tall wharf]

pixel art is difficult 😭

[turbid maple]

WHY CANT I GET YOU IN ROWS

Am I dumb what's wrong here

        desc_nodes[#desc_nodes + 1] = {
            {
                n = G.UIT.R,
                config = { align = "tm", 0.1, emboss = 0.1, colour = G.C.L_BLACK, r = 0.1 },
                nodes = {
                    {
                        n = G.UIT.R,
                        config = { align = "cm", padding = 0 },
                        --stylua: ignore
                        nodes = {
                                { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "Placeholder #2", scale = 0.35, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT }, },
                                { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "Placehodler #2 Electric Boogaloo", scale = 0.35, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT }, },
                        },
                    },
                },
            },
        }

[tall wharf]

actually maybe R is for row by row

i don't know if it's just naming being funny but try C

[tall apex]

do you all know how i'd check for how many of a certain edition my deck has?

[turbid maple]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/main/modules/ui.lua this is what i did with mine

I'll try more UI shenanigans later ig

[chrome widget]

Is it possible to pass multiple colors into a message return?

[tall wharf]

i would wrap text in a row or something

[latent portal]

this is the card ive been working on (art is placeholder)

[chrome widget]

Some other effects the game expect a table of colors, and I want to know if it's possible to do a gradient or something or if I'd have to code that myself

[latent portal]

what do you guys think?

[tall wharf]

cool

[tall wharf]

also why is he bald 😭

[green plank]

mfw this is a joker that i could actually code and not worry about anything else

[gilded narwhal]

holy glass cards!

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[runic pecan]

Does anyone know why Misprint’s mult range is 0-23?
Like, why 23? I looked up the wiki and it didn’t say why, either.

[green plank]

you wanna see the inspiration behind that joker

it's this

[tall wharf]

😭

mine is common

[green plank]

that is what they decided to make the rarity as

[tall wharf]

personally i am just doing word play on these numbers

[runic pecan]

bump

[modern kindle]

does it need to have a reason

maybe the thunkler likes the number 23

[runic pecan]

OK

[tall apex]

unexpected symbol near '{' on line 61

me when theres NOTHING ELSE THERE

[green plank]

ok so there is progress but i've yet to know on how to restrict it to those ranks

[tardy wind]

In the function that adds mult, check the played hand in a for loop and add the cards to a list if they match one of ace, 2 3 etc

and you check after that loop if the list size == 5

or well, >= straight_size

(since it can be 4)

since its « and » in your joker, forcing a hand size of 5 isnt that bad as well

[green plank]

so this is what i have

[tardy wind]

so in the context.before code block

you do something like

cards = {}
for card in played_hand
      if card.rank is ace or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 and card not in cards then add card to cards 
end
if cards.size == 5 then xmult = xmult + xmult_gain ```

this is not real code just pseudocode to show the idea

[tall apex]

question

why is it saying this 'center' is a nil value

[stray warren]

center isn't defined anywhere

the parameter is called card

[tall apex]

AH

[tardy wind]

try card.center

[tall apex]

okieeeee c:

it works! :D

[green plank]

the person who had this idea said that shortcut nor four fingers should be allowed to be used to make the joker work, so it's list_size == 5

[tardy wind]

yep thats fine

i wrote my pseudocode assuming hand size of 5

[tall wharf]

why does everyone and their mother changing hand selection size

and why is there no library just for it yet

[tall apex]

[...the rest of the nodes]```

[tall wharf]

ok so

you'll want to wrap the options in another node

the 2 columns

and then set the one just inside root to C

[plain apex]

this should be applying x_chips on new calc but is only applying the x_mult what did i do wrong?

if config.newcalccompat ~= false then
    Cubic = SMODS.Enhancement({

[tall wharf]

can u change this to C

[rapid stag]

no change

[tall wharf]

huh

[rapid stag]

it isn't making a difference

[plain apex]

what about it?

[tall wharf]

sorry haven't watched the video hold on

huh

[tall wharf]

can you take a screenshot of the code please thank you

my phone isn't liking it very much when it sees code

[manic rune]

here

[tall wharf]

right thanks

uh

[tall wharf]

are you on the correct version of steamodded

[plain apex]

is this the correct version?

[tall wharf]

probably my bad

[tall wharf]

nope

[manic rune]

thats old

[rapid stag]

current release is beta 0305c, try updating and see if that fixes

[tall wharf]

you're on an old version that doesn't have xchips

[plain apex]

well that explains why xchips wasn't working

[tall wharf]

like that's almost as old as the latest old calc

[rapid stag]

🥴

[tall wharf]

ui is pain

[rapid stag]

yes

[manic rune]

cirno

[plain apex]

i could send you my ui thing if you want

[rapid stag]

i would be grateful if you did, thank you

[tall wharf]

actually

i wonder if you need to wrap text in a c too

ui is painful

[rapid stag]

[manic rune]

cirno :3

[rapid stag]

this may be correct

[plain apex]

????

wtf 😭

her base speed is at 125 so she can actually self-retrigger without help from other jokers

[plain apex]

had to send that multiple times but there discord finally let me send it

[tall wharf]

maybe dm wasn't open for them

[plain apex]

no i was trying to send it here

[tall wharf]

ah

what the fuck lmao

[plain apex]

like????

[manic rune]

why is some of the text italic

[tall wharf]

oh wait

codeblocks is funny

[plain apex]

probably discord formatting since discord was being a pain

[manic rune]

jesus

i think god was punishing you for using light mode :3

[plain apex]

the coding is light but the discord is dark

[tall wharf]

dark mode for notepad++

[manic rune]

yin yang type shi 😭

[stray warren]

Yeah, the asterisks were translated to markdown and everything between them was italicized

That's why you always enclose code with ```

[tall wharf]

wait

i think i know actually

[manic rune]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1078467162617950328/1090819750118051950/togif-4.gif

[tall wharf]

i think the text he's sending was approaching 2000 characters if you add ```

it happens

[manic rune]

oh well, at least i got the trampoline

[tall wharf]

i was right

yeah the limit was more like 1950

[plain apex]

so thats why discord wouldn't let me send it

[tall wharf]

it's been like this ever since i started using Discord

[manic rune]

it seems fine

[stray warren]

newlines and whitespace are included in the count, so it's actually more than that

[tall wharf]

that's because you have nitro

and the limit was doubled

[manic rune]

oh yeah

wait,

WAIT

I FROGRTQ OT CANCEL tHE SUBSCRIPTION

[stiff locust]

how do I grab the name of the current poker hand

[green plank]

i could look for throwback's code but this seems a bit easy

[stray warren]

Also this probably happened, causing the error

[plain apex]

yup it was entirely my fault for running old ahh smods

[manic rune]

god fuckin damn it :(

[plain apex]

i doubt most people are doing this but it works lol

[stray warren]

I mean, I think old calc is gonna be completely obsolete pretty soon, if it isn't already

[stiff locust]

what

people are STILL on old calc???

[manic rune]

i feel like old calc is mostly used only because of jen almanac

[stiff locust]

yeah well jen can't read so

[plain apex]

i mean im on old calc but if i actually updated stuff like i should i could probably be on new calc lol

[stray warren]

You'd save a lot of hassle by just jumping ship and supporting only new calc

[past valve]

is there a way to pull the price you just paid after buying something from the shop? looking to make a joker that deals with a % chance to refund after purchase.

[plain apex]

out here running versions of stuff from 2024 because i never updated anything past when i modded balatro 💀

[manic rune]

thats a lot of mods

[stray warren]

Do you download the zip or clone the repos

[manic rune]

now supports extra text from debuffs

yipee

[gilded blaze]

is there a way to make a deck apply Splash without having Splash 💀

[plain apex]

the zip

[stiff locust]

yes hello

[gilded blaze]

[stiff locust]

you can patch it

[manic rune]

the splash man

[stiff locust]

pretty easily

[stray warren]

If it was the latter, I have a script that updates everything all at once lol

[gilded blaze]

I've tried that tho, but I need the exact patch

my attempts didn't work

[stiff locust]

check my mod's lovely.toml

i have the exact unbeatable patch

you just need to check what deck the player is on there

[chrome widget]

Can anyone help me with a concise way to phrase something?

"Gives X1 Mult for each hand size below 9
(Currently X2 Mult)"

Primary concern is that we can't specify "cards in hand" because you can have cards not matching your current hand size (such as by using Cryptid, multiple DNAs, or hand size reductions while you still have max cards in your hand). But "each hand size below 9" sounds off

[plain apex]

if only balatro modding was like lethal modding then i could just press the handy dandy update all button lol

[stray warren]

what app is that? I used R2modman in the past for lethal

[gilded blaze]

this is the said patch right?

[plain apex]

gale

[gilded blaze]

eh, it targets splash fusion jokers

[stiff locust]

yeah

you just remove the for loop and change the if condition

to if you have x deck selected

oh yeah and remove break

[plain apex]

it would work if people were uploading stuff to thunderstore but balatro modding seems to be mostly a github thing

[gilded blaze]

how do I specify x deck 💀

yea, attempted that too but haven't found the correct solution

[stiff locust]

look at cardsleeves

the sleeves check if you have x deck selected for stack effects

[manic rune]

oops

silly me :3

[plain apex]

anyway play fortlatro very cool and very badly coded fortnite x balatro

[merry raven]

Is it possible to implement rescoring
Like after scoring all cards, all cards will be scored one more time, including Joker interactions, etc

[gilded blaze]

nice
I got it thanks

[manic rune]

19 fps

💔

[gilded blaze]

what do you expect

[plain apex]

i mean i have a seal that can make the played hand not take a hand and another seal that can return to your hand among other things thats like rescoring sort of?

[chrome widget]

Okay, need quantum enhancement help:

    if context.check_enhancement and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_lucky') then
            return {
                ['m_glass'] = true,
            }
        elseif SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_glass') then
            return {
                ['m_lucky'] = true,
            }
        end
    end 
end```

This code is crashing the game, I assume from infinite loop, because it's re-proccing the check_enhancement context when the new enhancement is returned? Why? Shouldn't it only do it once, since it's expecting the return table to add the new enhancements?

[manic rune]

maybe add and not too?

[gilded blaze]

is this the correct way to allow Splash clones without Showman

I'm confused because the API did not provide a structure example

[simple mural]

i want to make cards that will give from x1.02 to x1.1 mult when they score.

[chrome widget]

Still crashes, argh

[manic rune]

hm

yeah i dunno myself, i never used quantum enhancements 😭

[gilded blaze]

sadge

[simple mural]

What do quantum enchantments do?

[manic rune]

allowing cards to have more than one enhancement

[gilded blaze]

I have a deck that glassify all cards before they score
and it doesn't use quantum enhancement oof

[manic rune]

-# i think

[gilded blaze]

oh, so that's what quantum enhancement is

[manic rune]

basically, what they are doing is making lucky cards count as glass cards, and vice versa

[gilded blaze]

I'm so dumb

[plain apex]

mfw i break the lucky card

[manic rune]

but the thing is; i dont even know a single mod which uses quantum enhancements 😭

[chrome widget]

I guess I just have to only consider the main enhancement? I guess???

[manic rune]

so if i were to add quantum enhancements, i wouldnt even have any reference to look at

which kinda sucks

[simple mural]

Does RPG Balatro exist?

[manic rune]

my mod technically counts

:3

[simple mural]

I'm thinking about what lucky card will do in my mod...

Maybe 5 chips for each $2 and 15 chips for each 2 probability

[chrome widget]

I guess SMODS just doesn't expect you to be able to chain multiple quantum enhancement effects (I.E. a quantum enhancement makes a card considered lucky, and this joker then makes it also be considered glass because of the quantum enhancement)

Because it calls the check_enhancements context when you use get_enhancements, which is how you add the quantum ones in the first place

[manic rune]

how do i better word this

💀

this sounds so fucking dumb

[simple mural]

Do you know how to end the run under any condition?

[manic rune]

oh, theres a function to force a loss

i remember seeing it, though i cant recall what its called

[plain apex]

how feasible is this 4th suggestion? i think it would be pretty cool if i actually figured out how to do it imagine having 2 editions on a card lol

[manic rune]

maybe check debug plus

[manic rune]

havent seen someone adding 2 editions onto 1 card before

[plain apex]

neither have i which is why i question if its possible lol

[manic rune]

nothing is impossible, but maybe it involves some patching and hooks which can potentially make your mod incompatible with other mods ❤️

[simple mural]

Maybe with quantum enchantments it will be possible to make a system of card levels?

[manic rune]

wym card levels

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1010038037989838958/1193389673402343424/ezgif.com-gif-maker_3.gif

[simple mural]

For example, when you put a bonus card twice on one card, and it gives 100 chips

[manic rune]

theres perm chips

you know Hiker?

[simple mural]

i don't know

[manic rune]

💀

its a joker in vanilla balatro

[chrome widget]

Still struggling with this

[manic rune]

increases base chips of played cards

[simple mural]

I don't usually look at the titles.

[chrome widget]

maybe "hand size value"?

[manic rune]

nop

that sounds odd

[chrome widget]

Having it be an equation also sounds odd to me

[simple mural]

It permanently gives +5 chips for each played card

[plain apex]

i have 2 jokers that do hiker flavored chips

[manic rune]

-# you didnt have to reply that

[chrome widget]

I'm talking about something completely different fyi

[manic rune]

i have this joker which complements Hiker, Foil and Bonus cards :3

[plain apex]

how do people actually understand the like editions stuff tho the code to make one of those look like anything makes no sense to me lol

[gilded blaze]

😭

[chrome widget]

Shaders 😔

I've done some shader stuff but mostly by copying other code, I am not a graphics programmer

[plain apex]

best i got was asking chat gpt to help me with that one time and it created the color blue

[rapid stag]

it sort of helped, but unfortunately didn't

[gilded blaze]

BlueStone Card

[chrome widget]

Better looking elsewhere. There's lots of examples of shader code online made by actual people

I typically search for GLSL stuff since Love2D uses GLSL, just with some aliases for things

[manic rune]

i refuse to rely on AIs to help me with coding honestly

[plain apex]

eh it depends really sometimes the ais help

and other times they give the worst code ever

[rapid stag]

progress, but now the box desperately wants to be really wide and wants to put everything to the left despite no left alignments.

[plain apex]

rip

[rapid stag]

without the maxw in the root holding it back, it just does this

like, this scale is correct but it shouldn't be trying to make the ui so wide? i don't understand why it wants to be however wide it's trying to be

but when i clamp the size with max, it scales the text weirdly

[gilded blaze]

I'm skipping lunch because of this shit

[plain apex]

who else but chat gpt could create such random fails

first person balatro when fr (in the first one moving my mouse around would move the cards)

[manic rune]

never used take_ownership in my life 💔

sorry

[stiff locust]

this is a lot of splash stuff you're doing

do you have a permit?

[manic rune]

its the splash cops

[gilded blaze]

my next deck retriggers all played cards for each copy of Splash

and it's a themed deck, not direct copy from your mod

[stiff locust]

i don't genuinely mind it at all

but i would watch for incompatibilities between my mod and yours

[timid star]

THE SANDWICH WORKS!!

[stiff locust]

alright so

next time you record balatro

please enable streamer mode on discord

[timid star]

lol

[stiff locust]

so it doesn't leave real discord pings in your recording

🙏

[timid star]

i just use the snipping tool

[plain apex]

very cool

[stiff locust]

snipping tool can record what

the fuck

[timid star]

it can

[stiff locust]

Oh my god it can

[gilded blaze]

can take_ownership cause conflicts if two or more mods use it on a single object?

[plush cove]

now I want to make a balatro mod that replaces the Xmult sound with a Discord ping

[timid star]

it's useful so i dont make video clips every time

[hard flume]

How would I go about grouping cards together into a category? I'm trying to make a custom collection of ranks that would be categorized into their own group, like Face Cards.

[timid star]

make it a joker

[stiff locust]

I would assume yes, but only if two mods take_ownership and replace the same areas of a joker

I do take ownership of Splash, and I replace add_to_deck, remove_from_deck and calculate

it shouldn't have any conflicts with what you're doing

[gilded blaze]

I'm just asking if the code structure is correct

to allow duplicates

[stiff locust]

i have no idea

but if that works

tell me

[gilded blaze]

💀

[stiff locust]

I want to do that too

[gilded blaze]

it's very hard to verify

[stiff locust]

just as a native feature of my mod

[gilded blaze]

you can't use DebugPlus to spawn Splash and reroll shop to test

because the game seed doesn't care about external additions

[manic rune]

you could use brainstorm

[stiff locust]

use that reroll mod yeah

[manic rune]

to auto-reroll until it finds splash?

oh, and uh

use something to decrease the reroll cost to 0 too

[stiff locust]

debugplus eval ease_dollars(100000000)

[manic rune]

-# quickest option would be to download cryptid and use that one exotic joker

[manic rune]

i guess that could work

imagine your luck sucks so bad its not enough though 😭

[gilded blaze]

Ig Crustulum should help in debugging

ouch, game crashed

I don't have time to debug the crash dammit

starving rn

[manic rune]

go eat lunch

dont just skip it

[stiff locust]

i'll figure it out for you so i can put it in my mod as a base feature

[hard flume]

Is it possible to make a category/group of cards ala face cards? I know how to make custom ranks, but I want to group them into a group

[gilded blaze]

maybe I'm doing something wrong

calling it from SMODS.Joker:take_ownership(Splash) instead of SMODS.Back doesn't sound right, does it?

gah, there's no example for this

[stiff locust]

okay well

i tried your method with my working take_ownership

tried the reroll method for debugging it and balatro hard crashed before brainstorm found splash

then i had a better idea

just spawn a bunch of riff raff and let them make every common joker

eventually, the only joker they make should be Splash if this is working, since it will never fall back to jimbo since splash is always available

(spoiler: it didn't work)

[gilded blaze]

did you roll all spawn jokers to negative to allow room for new ones

[stiff locust]

i gave myself 300 joker slots with debugplus

[gilded blaze]

a

sure

[stiff locust]

i didn't run out of space, it just started spawning only jimbos

so it hit the fallback, meaning it spawned every joker it could

so yeah i'm not sure

[scarlet spire]

how would I go about making an enhancement that doesn't allow itself to change to any other enhancement?

[gilded blaze]

the main problem still persists

how do we work with this info

I hate my life so much

I could've just asked AI to explain the API

and here's the code

[chrome widget]

Tbf, it is in the docs for Jokers

[simple mural]

I really want to make a joker that gives a xmult equal to the current round, but where if you don't win on the first played hand you play, the round ends

[chrome widget]

I have reached 50 of 90 completed jokers for my mod!!

[manic rune]

nice :D

[gilded blaze]

guess I have to learn the basics of Lua

at first I only intended to work on localization

[manic rune]

i didnt know you were working on a content mod too, actually

only knew you through #1250676786040148042

:3

[gilded blaze]

all thanks to a youtuber who managed to spread my Vietnamese mod to those who aren't good at English

[manic rune]

i think one of my friends is using that mod too

[scarlet spire]

still on this is anyone has any potential insight

[merry raven]

Yoooo congrats

The harder part of making the Jokers for me is honestly the art

[frosty dock]

hook Card:set_ability and prevent it from being called if the current/previous center is your enhancement

(Note: it will also mess with quantum enhancements)

[scarlet spire]

I see, thanks

i'll have to look into hooks a bit more, i've mostly been doing patches

only hook I currently have is for a castle-like card that references almost directly from the jokers documentation

[frosty dock]

patches would work as well of course, they're the more powerful tool

you can just return early

[hard flume]

cat rank

[scarlet spire]

ah, yeah I assumed so, just wasn't sure if a hook would be safer or something like that

[manic rune]

good afternoon everyone

[amber eagle]

I wish there was a way to use brainstorm and search for exclusively triboulet or chicot instead of perkeo, but it looks like I just dont entirely understand how immolate works considering that my brainstorm edits didnt do anything (at least they didnt crash the game)

And i obviously manually added toggles for both chicot and trib into ui.lua, as well as at the top of brainstorm.lua

[manic rune]

when can we have sleeve sleeves...

[zealous glen]

@tall wharf

[tall wharf]

yeah

[zealous glen]

Making it permanent at least makes it better than the old version

I wouldn’t play with it but I think the design is better and more interesting

[tall wharf]

sricker

[long sun]

hi, how do i get the round number?

[limpid flint]

Good evening everyone

[hushed field]

good afternoon, modpack man

[topaz monolith]

Currently making a joker and this error popped up. Any ideas? First image is the error, second error is the Joker I am working on

[red flower]

are you checking if target is not nil

[topaz monolith]

Doing print(target) and these information came up. Don't really see anything that relates to the target playing card

I don't know if the position of the copying card section is in the wrong spot or the 'if'/'for' statements are all not correct so its pulling wrong information

[scarlet spire]

cards are actually huge tables of tons of data, this is normal

[topaz monolith]

A huge table, which breaks my brain on how to get this code to work. At the moment, I want it to duplicate a random scoring card upon playing the first hand that has at least 2 scoring clubs. Currently breaks and gives the above error (And a whole bunch of others for something reason) upon playing 5 club cards at first hand play

[simple mural]

Joker that gives x0.5 mult at the end of the round, but destroys 5 random cards

I have an idea for an edition.
Double Edition.
Doubles the effect of a joker/card/consumable like a blueprint, but takes up one more slot

For example u can have Blueprint Joker with Double Edition, it will work how a two Blueprint Jokers but also it will take two Joker Slots

Or if this edition is on the card, you can use only 3 normal cards and a one Double Edition card in the hand and this card will work how with a red seal

[manic rune]

the uhh target part, why are you using pseudorandom_element on just one card?

im pretty sure this breaks things, since pseudorandom_element chooses a random value from a table

and in this case, it chooses something from the card like its position, center or smt smt

you can just do
local target = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('lycanroc_copy')

i think

which will choose a random card from the scoring hand

[long sun]

(bump)

[hushed field]

you might want to expand your question a bit! What do you mean with ''the round number' ?

[long sun]

like, the number on the bottom-left that says "Round"

like, the first Blind you play is Round 1

etc.

[topaz monolith]

Thanks. Kinda just copied and pasted the code from DNA mostly so got a little confused.

[hushed field]

oooh, yeah, that makes sense, haha, i was confused by round numbers also meaning something else 😛

[zealous glen]

Probably accessing the table it’s in

[hushed field]

I think it's literally G.GAME.round, no?

[long sun]

will try ^^

[zealous glen]

Idk

[long sun]

modulo is % in Lua, right? just checking

[zealous glen]

I think some values are saved directly where they are displayed

[zealous glen]

Yes

[hushed field]

God, I still seem to be unable to remove cards from the deck in context.after, it's impressive how difficult this seems to be

[zealous glen]

Remove how?

[long sun]

perfecto, that worked - thanks!!

[humble girder]

why do you need to remove them in context.after?

what's wrong with context.destroy_card?

[long sun]

[the ability i made: +$7 on odd rounds, +$1 on even rounds]

[hardy viper]

if they're in the deck you can just call remove on them

[hushed field]

Because they're not being destroyed, haha

[hardy viper]

are you on latest steamodded

[hushed field]

They're being moved to a banishment-esque cardarea until the end of the blind

[humble girder]

🤨

[zealous glen]

You might need the optional deck context

Also

[manic rune]

context.destroy_card actually only proceeds to destroy the card after all the calculations are done

[humble girder]

so why does emplacing it not work?

[zealous glen]

You should set card.getting_sliced manually

[hardy viper]

oh

[manic rune]

so you can just set the card to be destroyed in joker_main, before or wtv and it should work :D

[hushed field]

I can't figure out why. It has something to do with the way events are ordered

[hushed field]

That's how I handle destroy functions, yes!

But I'm not destroying cards, haha

[zealous glen]

What are you trying to do?

[hushed field]

I have alien jokers that can abuct any card object for the rest of the blind. So I'm trying to have them abduct playing cards under specific circumstances

[manic rune]

this is what i did to destroy cards
(addToDestroy is actually just adding the card to card.ability["card_to_destroy"])

[zealous glen]

What’s “abduct”

[hushed field]

Which works if I don't mind the visual jank, but I'm trying to fix the visual jank currently

[zealous glen]

Coding-wise

[hushed field]

It's a separate cardarea that's outside the deck/playing cards, in which cards are stored and accessed for the rest of the ante

[manic rune]

and in the context.destroy_card part, i did this which works :3

[zealous glen]

I think you should be able to just draw the cards to that cardarea at the time the Joker abducts them

Which might require an Event to time it properly

[hushed field]

You'd think so, but the event timing is very tricky to get working

[prisma loom]

Ok so there's a G.GAME.blind.boss but is there a context for small and big blinds?

[zealous glen]

Also I suggest looking into Card:can_calculate

[zealous glen]

What timing do you want?

[zealous glen]

You can test if the Blind is a boss or not

Blind.showdown

IIRC

[manic rune]

.

nevermind, showdown means at ante 8

[prisma loom]

I need a effect to trigger only when small blind is selected

[tall wharf]

no

[prisma loom]

madness' effect is not what I want

[zealous glen]

I’ll repeat what I said

[manic rune]

im going back into the cave

:3

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.blind.showdown == true

[zealous glen]

You can manually check what the Blind is

[manic rune]

good table, everyone

[hushed field]

Well, before the cards get moved to the deck, but after they're destroyed. I've currently got it structured as a function that sets a Before event, triggerign right before the draw_play_to_discard is called

[zealous glen]

You won’t want to look at that variable

[tall wharf]

.boss

fuck

[zealous glen]

But at the Blind name or key

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.blind.boss.showdown == true

[zealous glen]

To verify that it’s the Small Blind

[hushed field]

And I can't figure out why the emplace and remove doesn't properly work there

[manic rune]

is this real chat

[prisma loom]

??? wierd naming but Ig that'll work

sorry that confused me

[zealous glen]

I don’t remember how thunk names them, but you either check the key or the name. I recommend the key but thunk does everything by name

[prisma loom]

so for small blind I use G.GAME.blind.showdown == true
what's for big blind?

[zealous glen]

Does it need to be this timing?

[zealous glen]

No

[hushed field]

It's the only way to avoid cards being abducted crashing destroy funcs, and removing from deck is my fall back option but would need a whole different set of event chaining for any visuals to make sense

[zealous glen]

The Showdown Boss Blinds are the final bosses

[zealous glen]

It’s not the only way

[hushed field]

That's probably true

[zealous glen]

Although I can’t remember if I integrated that into Card:can_calculate, you can see if “yes” then hook or patch into it

That’s what the function is for

Take a look at the closed PR

[tall wharf]

showdown ones are the ante 8 bosses

[hushed field]

I guess I could make it so the destroy functionality checks for potentially being marked to be abducted. But honestly, it also makes a lot more sense gameplay flow wise to abduct after destroy effects

[zealous glen]

As I said

[prisma loom]

I'm once again confused, why I need to check if it's a final boss? I need to check if it's a small blind

[zealous glen]

You don’t

That was the first thing I said because it’s the first thing I predicted

Because checking for specific Blinds is the same as checking for any other specific object

Just look at the key

-# or the name, in theory

-# (don’t do name)

So there’s nothing Blind-specific about checking for Small Blinds

[zealous glen]

Actually

I think it should only try to abduct cards that won’t be destroyed

Which Card:can_calculate should help you with

As it’ll ignore cards set to be destroyed*

[hushed field]

That's fully dependent on the joker effect, but that's probably true.

I'll look into that regardless, because that's a good failsafe

[zealous glen]

The idea is that

If a card is destroyed it can’t be selected

But the actual destroy is only shown later

To the user

[hushed field]

I'm sure my current code will also start bugging out once I have sufficiently complex abduction jokers interacting with each other, so I should generally start considering fail safes

[zealous glen]

But you can imagine that it’s already been destroyed for the purpose of other effects

[zealous glen]

I’ll keep telling you to use Card:can_calculate because this is the exact situation it was made for

:P

[hushed field]

Yeah, I'll add it for sure, haha, it's just that it's only part of my woes, timing-wise, haha. I'll test if running the code before the destroy timing (without checks) works first, and then I'll get to implementing can_calculate, haha

[zealous glen]

You shouldn’t need to implement much

[hushed field]

I assume it'd be a single call with some context for it to check yeah

[zealous glen]

Actually it doesn’t have a context but maybe it should

It has at most one Boolean argument

[zealous glen]

For the timing, you’ll probably want to patch it so abduction is handled at the right time

[hushed field]

I'm currently trying to find out where that moment would be, yeah

Something that I am wondering about is whether cards can be in multiple cardareas at once, even? Or if that's just a reference being broken, if the game seems to indicate that?

[zealous glen]

I don’t think they can be, but I think the card could be in one CardArea but think it’s in another

[hushed field]

I'm suspecting that the cardarea thinks the card is still in there, somehow

[zealous glen]

That could be part of it too

How are you moving cards?

Are you using CardArea:draw_card_from (or to, I can’t remember)

[hushed field]

an area:remove_card and an area:emplace. draw_card_from doesn't update the playing_cards list, but I guess i already do that manually. It didn't work in an earlier test, but that may have been a timing issue still, so I should try it again

[zealous glen]

I think you’re doing it the wrong way

You should use CardArea:draw_card_from then manually remove them from the list

[prisma loom]

I couldn't find the key I'm sorry😭

[hushed field]

I may have been led astray by this working as intended if I didn't mind the card disappearing visually during the scoring, haha

[prisma loom]

but this works

[zealous glen]

Look where blind data is defined

You might find it looking for e.g. bl_goad

I imagine it should be bl_small

[prisma loom]

it was

[manic rune]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1248739512037806111/1348330540289491057/tenor_4.gif

[prisma loom]

but it doesnt work

[hushed field]

the draw_card functions all take generic cards, rather than a specific selection, right?

[runic pecan]

🤔

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

[zealous glen]

How did you try to access it?

[manic rune]

oh yeah, i cant help but notice this after a while of using your multi text box thingy, sometimes a line can be really close to the border of the box

[hushed field]

my understanding is that I can do Kino.abduction:draw_card_from(abductedcard.area), but I can't specificy which card needs to be moved

[zealous glen]

You can

Maybe not that function

[zealous glen]

That’s wrong

You’ll want something like

Blind.key == ‘bl_small’

[runic pecan]

Why localize(card.ability.extra.rank, 'ranks') gives ERROR?

[prisma loom]

as a context?

[hushed field]

it's also worth noting that those functions internally do exactly what I'm doing, in calling a :remove_card() and then an :emplace()

[zealous glen]

localize is getting wrong arguments I guess

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

I’m not going to write G.GAM…

You know how to access the instance of Blind you need

So I just need to name the parameter of the class

[prisma loom]

ic ic

thanks

[manic rune]

if my joker is retriggered, then shouldnt this also be retriggered for all played spade cards?

nevermind, its not even retriggered at all this time

weird

before updating smods it at least worked for the first played card

[lyric wadi]

chat is there a way to listen for a tarot card usage

and like what kind

i know like there's a vanil joker that gain mult when any tarot used

[zealous glen]

There’s a context for using consumeables

[lyric wadi]

but like i want to make a Joker that scales whenever Wheel fails, but suffers big penalty if Wheel hits

[zealous glen]

You can test if a Tarot was used

[manic rune]

welp, seems like i gotta do a workaround for this one

[zealous glen]

Or if a specific Tarot even

[manic rune]

save how many times my joker is supposed to be retriggered into a var, then return that in the context to repeat playing cards

[zealous glen]

Idk about seeing if Wheel succeeded or failed though

[lyric wadi]

like Gain +3 Mult if Wheel of Fortune fails, halves it if Wheel of Fortune hits

[zealous glen]

That might need more power

[lyric wadi]

Joker where whenever Wheel fails, you lose $2 and immediately spawns another Wheel

the true gamba joker

[hushed field]

Hmm, it seems the destroying card functionality also makes explicitly clear that a card is being destroyed to the function that discards cards after playing, because its timing is that whacky. The function is entirely related to the way that the event timing works, as cards that are destroyed are also still retrievable in G.play by the game. So the solution is to add a check to those functions, seemingly. Which I suspect will create some compatibility issues with other mod's patches, but alas

[zealous glen]

Maybe you can use can_calculate and write a SMODS PR

[hushed field]

I think it'd probably be a good addition to SMODS, but God I don't trust my code to be used by other people that fundamentally, haha

[zealous glen]

I think the relevant part is the check if the card can be moved, which ought to use can_calculate IMO

And at least it’s good to have feedback for

What would someone use can_calculate for

Since it’s not a vanilla method

But it’s something that helps mod be compatible

[lyric wadi]

help chat different question

how do you check what enhancement a card have when playing/discarding

[hushed field]

Going to massively refactor this code because I'm sure my trying to solve something I don't fully understand has made it a lot more bulky than it needs to be, but it's finally working properly! Look at that, 1 card abducted, so only 51 in the deck!

[lyric wadi]

and related question, how do you check how many card was discarded

[hushed field]

SMODS.has_enhancement(whatever_the_card_variable_is, "m_MODKEY_KEYOFENHANCEMENT")

[hushed field]

you can check the .discard or the .pre_discard context, depending on what you wanna do!

[zealous glen]

See the wiki

[lyric wadi]

fair

but also i asked because i didnt know where in the wiki to look okay

[dire palm]

How can I get the number of Negative cards the player currently owns (full deck + consumables + jokers)?

[zealous glen]

SMODS.Enhancements

[zealous glen]

Iterate and count

[hushed field]

for these kind of things, the calculate functions page is generally really handy. If you know what specific thing you want to interact with, ctrl-fing a keyword (like discard) is a good way to go about it

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

Oh, it was about the enhancement check, yeah for that check the page about the specific object type is handiest!

[zealous glen]

Also I say to look at the wiki because I know the info is there but I don’t remember it

So I’m not gonna give potentially wrong info when I know where to find it

[hushed field]

@zealous glen was the can_calculate function you added only recently pushed?

oh wait, i'm checking an old commit of smods for some reason that I can't explain, haha

[zealous glen]

Yes

[icy chasm]

Hey everyone! I'm new to modding balatro (as in making a mod, not actually modding the game), and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to code the cards that I want to create. would anyone be willing to help me out? (I've only really coded in java, not lua)

[turbid maple]

Have you checked out the wiki

[turbid maple]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

obligatory cat image

[icy chasm]

oh, I did not know that existed, Thanks!

[old bane]

how would i make it so that duplicates of Jokers can appear in shop? I wanna make a voucher that functions similarly to showman but idk how to make that work

[lyric wadi]

voucher spawns a negative eternal showman

[hushed field]

patch the code so that the part that checks for showman also checks for your voucher

[red flower]

yoooo

[hushed field]

So happy with that effect, honestly, just wish I was good enough with shaders to get the visuals to be real juicy, haha

[old bane]

i could do that but i also don't want my voucher to allow duplicates of like planet cards and such

just jokers

[hushed field]

then all you'll have to is nest another if statement in that checks for jokers!

[old bane]

i see 👀

[hushed field]

i say that, i just checked, each card type checks for showman separately

it's not even an additional check

just a patch that replaces the joker check

[old bane]

ah lmao

is that in card.lua?

[hushed field]

common_events

[old bane]

i see

[manic rune]

after a lot of tuning, i think i got it

[lyric wadi]

goal of code :

• count how many cards are being discarded

• if it's a wild card, add 1 to a counter

• if they're not a Wild card, set the string suitFound to the suit of the non-Wild

• if exactly 2 cards are discarded, and exactly one of them is a Wild, set the bool to true

crash log from code :

am i stupid

[hushed field]

you're using context.other_card, but there is no other_card in pre_discard

[lyric wadi]

oh

i am stupid

[hushed field]

Your code in this case wouldn't be able to tell you which card you're trying to compare things to. in this case, if v is the card you're currently checking, what are you trying to compare it with? Which card is other_card supposed to be?

[lyric wadi]

i just copied some code and stiched them together

honestly forgot im in an loop with i and v

[old bane]

would i be able to add an edition to jokers in the shop if there is already a copy of that joker owned?

[hushed field]

no clue! I haven't checked the code for card creation too thoroughly, sorry, haha

[lyric wadi]

incremental combination joker

if you have two copies of the same jokers with the same edition next to each other, they combine into one and upgrades their edition

two holo merges into one poly kinda beat

imagine

[hushed field]

Besides storing the entire card object, I assume objects have a unique ID, right? Does anyone know the way to get that ID?

[old bane]

how does the calculate function for vouchers work? is that what is used for stuff like observatory?

[lyric wadi]

okay i've changed other_card to simply v and now it doesnt crash on any discard

it does crash when discarding a wild card though, which i kinda need to not happen

[hushed field]

what line causes the crash?

[lyric wadi]

line 56 is

[hushed field]

context.v

[lyric wadi]

bru

so you dont need context for that??

[hushed field]

context is a table that is passed along by the code when calculate is called. So, there is never a context.v

In this case, your v is already defined as well, you're v is the card currently looping from the G.hand.highlighted

if things are connected by a . they're basically contained within the other

[lyric wadi]

okay

the checks works

it is correct triggering when 2 cards are discarded and 1 of them is wild

that was the easy part im just stupid

now comes the hard part

how do i convert the suit of held cards in hand

a la Sigil or the suit Tarots

[hushed field]

SMODS has a change_base function

[lyric wadi]

oo

[hushed field]

if the base game has an effect that's super similar to what you wanna do, you're lucky, SMODS probably has made a way to make that easy for ya!

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/f4zyqw

[manic rune]

every 100 speed retriggers the Joker once, and you can see that it now works with retriggering playing cards too

surprisingly enough, no hooks and patches were needed for this

and it seems to work pretty smoothly

[rich roost]

Would it be possible to create a mod to play 2 random cards every 10 seconds if there is not hand played in that time?

Like can I mod the game so the game makes an an action?

[hushed field]

yes, definitely

[rich roost]

Nice! What object makes the actions? Is that G? I can’t figure out how to automate an action 😕

[tardy wind]

i think you would register an event

[old bane]

drained joker looks cool asf, but i still think i'm not doing what i need to do correctly. This is what I coded for my lovely patch, v_pm_replicahaver is my voucher

payload = '''
elseif not (G.GAME.used_jokers[v.key] and not (next(find_joker("Showman")) or G.GAME.used_vouchers.v_pm_replicahaver)) and (v.unlocked ~= false or v.rarity == 4) then
'''

[tardy wind]

you can also look at the boss blind that discards two random cards

[rich roost]

Ooh ur right thank you, that is definitely what I’m looking for

[hushed field]

G is the entire game. I'm not code savvy enough to immediately explain how you'd do this, but I think what Luma's saying is the way to go, yeah. You'd register an event that's a timer that ticks down to 0 while in a blind

[lyric wadi]

ok it's not converting the card swhat am i doing wrong

[hushed field]

what's going wrong?

[hushed field]

G.hand is a CardArea

[rich roost]

Ya Im going to explore all the actions the game can automate, I feel like “bullet” (like chess) Balatro would be a fun time

[hushed field]

the cards in G.hand are in G.hand.cards

[lyric wadi]

ah ok

[hushed field]

That'd definitely make for a fun mod!

[lyric wadi]

so much to learn

[old bane]

joker only shows his face when the game fails to find a suitable joker to generate, I have a copy of almost every joker in my mod, and I turned off the generation of vanilla Jokers. I also redeemed the voucher that allows me to find copies of Jokers, meaning that the voucher isn't doing anything, because otherwise, the game would've just generated a copy of whatever joker like showman

[rich roost]

Nice! I’ve just started modding like a week ago so I’m getting caught up on code base but looking forward to some fun ones!

[lyric wadi]

yippe the card ganges

now i need the cool animation

where in the wiki do i read about card animations

[hushed field]

I haven't given enough time to understand exactly where and when showman does it's thing, but I suspect you're patching only a singular instance of it, while it's impacting more than that 🤔

[old bane]

which card animation? idk if the wiki has anything on that, but i know a few of them

[lyric wadi]

the usual suit change animation

would work fine

since i am changing suit

you know when it flips over and then flips back

[hushed field]

I don't think that's a precoded animation. But that behaviour'll be in the tarot code

[old bane]

card:flip() will flip it once, so just have an event manager flip once then having it flip again after

[hard flume]

in game

[dire palm]

How do I make my Joker shake under certain conditions like Loyalty Card does when it's active?

[old bane]

hmm maybe i need to check the dump first

[hard flume]

they each rank 9 chips for the cats 9 lives

[old bane]

juice_card_until i think

you can find more about it in sixth sense’s code i think

[hushed field]

yeah, you create an eval function that checks your intended behaviour, and then pass that to juice_card_until

[dire palm]

So, how should the eval be made?

[lyric wadi]

okay i found a prolnem

i dont know if this is with my mod or something

[hushed field]

I'd check your lovely dump and just search for an example of juice_card_until

[lyric wadi]

but

the suit conversion joker works

it changes the suit of the cards in hand

unfortunately, somehow, enhancements other than wild also stopped working

i have a mult card with seltzer and it is not adding any mult

??????????????

is this my mod fucking with the game or the game fucking with me

[manic rune]

show code :3

[lyric wadi]

also omg hiihi :3

[stiff locust]

how do i get the name of the current poker hand

i wanna save it as a variable

[manic rune]

...hm

[hushed field]

it's given in multiple contexts, as scoring_name

[manic rune]

probably something with change_base if i had to guess, i never used it though so i cant confirm

[stiff locust]

so that would be context.scoring_name right

[manic rune]

what does next() do

i see it mostly being used for checking poker hand

[tardy wind]

its used for iterating on tables

[lyric wadi]

ok but apparently Steel Cards still work

so far mult and lucky no, steel yes

[manic rune]

its only affecting the cards that got their suits converted, right?

[lyric wadi]

i dont know how to track them tbh

cuz i dont rember whcich one i converted

[tardy wind]

add a sticker

[frosty dock]

🤔

[lyric wadi]

also i just ran into Hook and i have now found out that hook discarding CAN trigger the suit change

since it can hit 2 cards, 1 wild and one non wild

[manic rune]

blind really said "" 😭

thats cool tho, really reminds me of blindexpander

[lyric wadi]

and i am keeping that edge case in on the basis that it would be funny as fuck if it happen to someone

[manic rune]

correct me if im wrong, but doesnt context.discard run for each discarded card?

[frosty dock]

BC2.3 development starts today

[lyric wadi]

yeah i meant to set the bool back to false after it triggesrs once but forgor

[old bane]

non-boss blinds with abilities????

[ivory coral]

hello, im trying to make a check (preferably in context.after?) for if the hand just played did not result in defeating the blind, e.g. the blind is still ongoing, but my code here
if not to_number(G.GAME.chips) >= to_number(G.GAME.blind.chips) then
gives me the error
attempt to compare number with boolean
it might be a talisman thing but im not 100% sure, anyone know whats up with this

[lyric wadi]

you need a bracket

[old bane]

you should probably surround the comparison in parentheses

[lyric wadi]

right now it is parsing as not to_number which is applying not to a number

[ivory coral]

aah i see

[lyric wadi]

which makes the left side a boolean

[ivory coral]

yeah it works now tyty

[lyric wadi]

yaay

i heped

hepld

helpde

fuck

[manic rune]

oh also, how does retrigger_joker work? (sorry for pinging 😭)

this doesnt seem to be retriggered

[turbid maple]

off topic but modding balatro is my first experience with lua and I really don't see the value of having maps and arrays be represented by the same type because it's slightly annoying

[manic rune]

or sometimes, when i switch up the order of the contexts, it only retriggers for only the first card

[turbid maple]

Is there some benefit to this I'm missing

[stiff locust]

what's a map

[manic rune]

i love when i assumed card wasnt a table :3

[turbid maple]

basically tables but not an array

[tardy wind]

Tables do everything

lua isnt a strongly typed language (even less than javascript) so you can do whatever you want to your tables, objets etc

[turbid maple]

well yeah but I don't see the point of arrays explicitly be tables with integer keys

I'd really prefer a different syntax for them

[tardy wind]

like what ?

[index] is probably the most common way of accessing anything in a list

[frosty dock]

do you have the optional feature set? gosh a lot of calc stuff is poorl/not documented

[turbid maple]

square brackets?

[manic rune]

yeah, i do

[tardy wind]

square brackets do work afaik

[manic rune]

the retrigger works just fine for joker_main

but for other contexts, its a bit funky

[tardy wind]

t = {"a", "b"}
letter = t[0]
``` pretty sure ive seen this

[manic rune]

i dont think [0] works

-# i never tried so idk

since tables start from index 1

[ivory coral]

actually hang on its not quite right
it still passes even when my score is higher than the blind requirement
which its not supposed to

[tardy wind]

indeed

so not [0] but [1]

[turbid maple]

well no the complaint is that you're making a table with { 1 = "a", 2 = "b" } which pretends to be a table but I'd slightly prefer if this was an entirely separate array type

[tardy wind]

imo i really dont see the issue with that

[turbid maple]

it doesn't really matter because yeah you can make it work like an array

[tardy wind]

lua isnt strongly typed so it makes sense to have 1 type do everything

c-like arrays dont exist in lua, everything is a key-value pair in some way

[stiff locust]

is there a function for just drawing cards

[turbid maple]

I mean my complaint was "would it be a big deal for lua to have an array type" and you're just telling me that "lua doesn't have an array type"

[stiff locust]

not specific cards i just want it to draw more

[old bane]

you can probably find it in the serpent's code i think

the boss blind that draws 3 cards

[stiff locust]

hmm maybe

[turbid maple]

there's some functions from drawing from cardareas in misc_functions.lua I think

[stiff locust]

hand_space = math.min(#G.deck.cards, 3)

[manic rune]

you know what, i kinda dont like how for tables with indexes that arent number in order like:

table = {
["hello"] = "hi",
["good morning'] = ":3",
}```

theres no way to go from hello -> good morning consistently without the need of other stuff, since ipairs dont work

[stiff locust]

so it just.. sets the hand space to 3?

that might work for my purposes

[stiff locust]

just use pairs instead of ipairs

[turbid maple]

try ctrl+fing for "draw_from" in that file? I don't have access to the source code right now but I'm sure there were some like that

[manic rune]

yes but thats random

[stiff locust]

it is??

[manic rune]

it is

pairs still run through the entire table, but the index it chooses is completely random

[stiff locust]

cool

[vague helm]

@manic rune Continuing the conversation from #⚙・modding-general : the proposed modification doesn't work because extra is considered to be nil - for the record, the actual debuffing / rebuffing does work despite the previous version of the code referring to a potentially nil value. If I didn't include the nil check, that wouldn't have worked. That said, referencing it the way that you proposed certainly looks cleaner

[manic rune]

ohhh right

your joker doesnt have config extra

[turbid maple]

that's not really lua specific map traversal is usually undeterministic due to how they work under the hood

[manic rune]

uh, use card.ability["debuffed_card"] instead of card.ability.extra["debuffed_card"]

[manic rune]

...its also the reason why my loc_var looks like this

[tardy wind]

wtf

[manic rune]

the order is important

BUT
