im not blaming anything

oh waiy

my nitor gone

no hands up emoji

[gleaming jungle]

you can just overwrite the original language file, it's what i've been doing up until now

[lament agate]

so i cant make it into a mod?

[gleaming jungle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Language

you can set it to use a language as base, overwrite whichever fields you want to change, and that's it

load it through steamodded like any other (though this is literally what i was just asking about avoiding :P)

[lament agate]

i could use this as reference

thanks doc

also what text editor do you use

IDE*

[gleaming jungle]

vscode

[lament agate]

if youre that type of person

[lament agate]

thanks doc

[stark geode]

does anyone know why my bu mod might not be working

[lament agate]

can you analyze the crashlog?

[stark geode]

its not even a crash log

[manic rune]

aure please dont deevolve to an emo 2008 kid 💔

[stark geode]

the language just doesnt apply

it should say jimbos

[manic rune]

ship it

[stark geode]

normal play hand button

[lament agate]

use debugplus

and see the log i suppose

thats what ive been doing

[manic rune]

yall

[gleaming jungle]

can i see your lang file? and/or how you're loading it in the lua?

[manic rune]

check out balatro impact

[lament agate]

play B:SR btw

[manic rune]

play balatro impact guys

[stark geode]

its the bu language mod

https://github.com/OceanRamen/BUMod

[gleaming jungle]

oh it's not even using smods lmao

[manic rune]

yeah

[gleaming jungle]

i'll look but not what i've been using to replace my language thus far

[manic rune]

it uses lovely

you would have to port that to smods

[stark geode]

how would one do that

[tawny narwhal]

Just aint workin at all now... Clearly I'm missing something obvious

-- RESET IF 'UPGRADE' NOT FULFILLED - MORE THAN ONE HAND PER BLIND IS USED
        if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played <= 1 and not context.end_of_round and not card.ability.extra.Xmult == 1 and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1
            return{
                message = 'Subsonic...',
                sound = 'LJet_SCruiseReset',
                colour = G.C.ATTENTION,
            }
        end```

[manic rune]

add another language in smods, port everything to there

[lament agate]

ive been making myself hard to mod this game

[manic rune]

nxkoo

please

[lament agate]

using N++ doesnt help a bit

[manic rune]

reword that sentence

💔

[lament agate]

what

OH

i mean

ive been making my progress haerder

[stark geode]

use vs

join us

[tawny narwhal]

For those just joining me, It's meant to reset as soon as the first hand doesn't beat the blind

[lament agate]

alright fine

[stark geode]

WWWWW

[manic rune]

YOOO

[lament agate]

it wont download the fucking

thing

[manic rune]

WE ARE SO BACK

yeah but ngl, i should move to codium instead

but im lazy

💔

[gleaming jungle]

we love vscodium

[lament agate]

nevermind

[gleaming jungle]

except that i can't get the python language tools to work

[lament agate]

it downloaded

[stark geode]

now pipe smods and the source code into it

[lament agate]

how

TBOI is here and yet no Balatro

💔

[manic rune]

i mean

[manic rune]

you just need to open the mods folder with lovely and smods

and there will be autocomplete

[lament agate]

OH

this semester aint done but i am

[manic rune]

ye

[stark geode]

or you can do what i did with this

[manic rune]

:3

[tawny narwhal]

Bumping because I'm dying inside

[manic rune]

what this supposed to do

[tawny narwhal]

okay

basically

[digital niche]

is there a way to make a tarot card that takes out 2 cards and add a new one based on the two? dowsnt look very hard but im not sure

also good morning!

[tawny narwhal]

Joker gains Xmult for each blind beaten in a single hand

I want it to reset back to x1 if the first hand fails to win the blind

But the only version i've gotten to reset resets multiple times

sometimes even repeating while it absolutely shoudln't be

[manic rune]

        if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played > 1 and context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and card.ability.extra.Xmult > 1 then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1
            return{
                message = 'Subsonic...',
                sound = 'LJet_SCruiseReset',
                colour = G.C.ATTENTION,
            }
        end

[tawny narwhal]

main_eval? Whats that?

Appreciate it thoo

[manic rune]

dunno, some stuff to prevent that from repeating

[tawny narwhal]

swagger

[manic rune]

hi N'

[tawny narwhal]

Okay this works, but it debuffs at the end of the round. Would I change it to context.after for it to debuff right after the hand has played?

[manic rune]

debuff wha

[tawny narwhal]

resets*

[digital niche]

how do i make a joker that adds a new playing card to the deck like with the stone joker?

[manic rune]

oh, so, like

it resets after the second hand is played?

[runic pecan]

As john smods has said:

[tawny narwhal]

No after the first, but only if it didn't beat the blind

so the rest of the round won't get the benefit of the Xmult

[manic rune]

        if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played > 1 and context.before and not context.end_of_round and card.ability.extra.Xmult ~= 1 then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1
            return{
                message = 'Subsonic...',
                sound = 'LJet_SCruiseReset',
                colour = G.C.ATTENTION,
            }
        end

probably that

[runic pecan]

What if some other mods f'd up this joker's Xmult that makes it less than 1?
~= 1 instead of > 1

[manic rune]

man, i hate mods which do that

uh

there

[minor magnet]

why does this crash?

[hushed field]

apply seem sto be for a sticker, no?

oh no wait

[minor magnet]

it's for a deck

[hushed field]

it's a card back

yeah I see it now

cards don't exist yet

[stark geode]

I'll get my mods rarity working then I'll make a smods version of the bu mod

[hushed field]

does the create a card function work like that?

[minor magnet]

ye that's why i'm using an event for it

[hushed field]

Should it not be create_card({set=whatever})

instead of straight going to the brackets? Or is that just one of those lua things

[digital niche]

how do i make a joker that changes the playing cards i have? like, i have an steel card in my hand and it turn into gold

like midas but for some types of cards

[normal crest]

You can skip parenthesis if the argument is only a table

[hushed field]

ahh

[brazen tusk]

do i just put context.destroy_cards into the if here? been struggling to get it to work

[primal robin]

Is G.GAME.dollars should be used with to_big with Talisman?

[quartz ravine]

Hi folks, what does 'prepend_key' do in create card? I am trying to make a booster pack containing only cards from my mod, all of my joker cards have my mod prefix of fox_

[manic rune]

you need to to_big anything thats being compared with G.GAME.dollars

to_big(G.GAME.dollars) actually doesnt do anything, since G.GAME.dollars is already a table

[red flower]

it appends your key to the pseudoseed, it can also be used to check the source in in_pool iirc

[manic rune]

but you can still do that nevertheless though

[primal robin]

In this case why vanilla stuff like check_for_unlock({ type = "money" }) doesn't patched yet?

[manic rune]

same goes with mult, hand_chips, and blah blah

[quartz ravine]

Thanks! I tought you might know! I wil lhave to dig deeper to determine how to do this

[red flower]

you need to create an objecttype for what you want

[manic rune]

hmmmmmmm, shouldnt this crash tho 🤔

its comparing a table iwth a number

but im not too proficient in those talisman shenanigans anyways, so maybe im wrong

[digital niche]

if i were to add the informations about a custom enhancement to a joker i would use

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.claws```
right? (the enhancement key is "claws"

[primal robin]

It wil cause a crash because you're comparing table with number

[maiden phoenix]

talisman moment

[manic rune]

exactly

💔

probably an oversight from the devs

[maiden phoenix]

Highly doubt cuz its been here for a while

[manic rune]

mhm

[normal crest]

I thought Talisman's bignums and stuff already handle comparing with numbers

[manic rune]

im still frustrated over the fact that you need Disable Scoring Animations enabled

to play my mod

like, what the hell 💔

it will crash if it isnt

[maiden phoenix]

Wtf that sounds silly

[manic rune]

its pretty funny

https://streamable.com/11tx0e

here

[rancid bridge]

why does it do that.

[tawny narwhal]

I've got it. I just use context.hand_drawn and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played >= 1. Works well enough

[digital niche]

what is the context for drawing cards?

[manic rune]

talisman✨

[manic rune]

ah so thats the timing ur looking for

icic

[maiden phoenix]

context.hand_drawn

[tawny narwhal]

Yeah like after 1st hand is scored but before the second hand is happening

[digital niche]

ty!

[tawny narwhal]

Sorry I wasn't clearer lmao

[manic rune]

its fine, im glad u figured it out tho :D

[primal robin]

Imagine mod which does not crash for at least ONE day

[quartz ravine]

Hi folks, how could I index through all of my custom jonklers? My base Lua skill isn't so great but what I'd like to do is this

list all registered cards with this key "j_Fox_"

[rancid bridge]

now how would i make it check if cards with a heart suit are destroyed, and then make it gain xMult from it....

[manic rune]

talisman existing:

[primal robin]

Pokermon: hey look, new enhancement
Saturn: DED

[manic rune]

💔

[primal robin]

What a hell, how

[digital niche]

what do i use to add an enhancement based on the one the card already have?

[manic rune]

we just dont know

[manic rune]

grab the card's enhancement key

[digital niche]

how do i do this?

[manic rune]

card.config.center.key i think

[digital niche]

do i use this in a context or?

[manic rune]

then use :set_ability to set the card's enhancement

[manic rune]

whatever context ur using should work

card shoud be replaced with the card your targetting

[digital niche]

the id for steel cards is just "steel" right?

[manic rune]

m_steel

[digital niche]

tyty!

[brazen tusk]

as far as i can tell this should be working per the documentation, says other card is returning nil and when it doesnt say that the destroy just doesnt work

[south lintel]

is there a guide to starting out with modding? I know basic coding but I'm not familiar with modding or Balatro's file structure

[manic rune]

context.destroy_card, not context.destroy_cards

and return {true} alone should work

[manic rune]

#1349064230825103441 :3

[brazen tusk]

🙏

[manic rune]

and also

you forgot an "and" there

[south lintel]

cheers, thank you

[rancid bridge]

bump...........

[brazen tusk]

oop

ty!

[tawny narwhal]

It works perfectly now

[digital niche]

do i just add "m_steel.config.center.key" under "contex.hand_draw"?

[tawny narwhal]

In honour of you, I will make a Joker inspired by your favourite plane @manic rune

[manic rune]

plane? uhh

a plane out of pepsi pls :3

[tawny narwhal]

Yessir

[manic rune]

you can check out how "caino" works

im currently doing hw rn so i cant access the source code, sorri

search "caino" in card.lua i think

[red flower]

you can do

local list = {}
for _, center in ipairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
    if center.mod and center.mod.id == "your mod id" then
        list[#list+1] = center
   end
end

[rancid bridge]

caino... my old nemesis...

[tawny narwhal]

You want the Plane Pepsi (was supposed to but didn't) gifted to a man or The Concord Pepsi Sponsored

[manic rune]

oh yeah, that controversy

[tawny narwhal]

mhm

[manic rune]

gift it to me :3

[tawny narwhal]

GR.3 Harrier coming right up

[digital niche]

i think im missing something prretty obvious but idk what

[manic rune]

thats

wrong

😭

wat r u trying to do here

[digital niche]

a joker that when hand is draw checks for steel cards and turn them into claws card (a custom enhancement i made)

[manic rune]

ahhhhhhh

wait wait

[digital niche]

okok!

[manic rune]

...there doesnt seem to be anything to check the new cards being drawn, hm

[digital niche]

it can also be the cards scored if its easier

[manic rune]

yeah, thats a lot easier

[digital niche]

ye so sure

[manic rune]

oh actually

wait

if context.before then
  for _,othercard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(othercard,"m_steel") then
      othercard:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["your_enhancement_key"],nil,true)
    end
  end
end

there, i think thats it

there will be no effects and such though, you will have to do it urself

[digital niche]

no effects you mean like the enhancement?

[manic rune]

no, like

uh

theres no spinny card -> transforms to another enhancement

[digital niche]

ooh, visual effects

[manic rune]

it just turns it into another enhancement immediately

yeah

[digital niche]

now that i have no idea how ill do, lemme check that github page

[rancid bridge]

uhm..

[stiff locust]

how do I make a return message appear on top of the deck

[manic rune]

one sec

[digital niche]

what is the thing for if the card shows up in the shop?

[stiff locust]

set_ability

also applies when it shows up in a pack

or when it is spawned in general

[manic rune]

i think its G.deck

[quartz ravine]

is it not possible to load functions into debugPLus? I am trying to debug a function in one of my packs but gettings DebugPlus to notice it is....ahhhh

[digital niche]

wait, i thought i saw one that was like how there is "no_suit" and you just had to set it was false, is that it?

[stiff locust]

no

set_ability is like calculate

it's a function you put in your joker

the code in there runs one time when the joker is spawned

[manic rune]

yeah, its G.deck

i just tried

[digital niche]

oh ok, ty

[heavy canopy]

Would there be a way to :

• check a joker's edition
• see if it has a sticker (like perishable)
  in the calculate function ?

[stiff locust]

card.edition to see if it has an edition

card.edition.key should be the edition key i think ("e_foil" for foil)

[manic rune]

i think :get_edition() works too, not sure whats the difference

[heavy canopy]

ok

[stiff locust]

stickers are like

card.ability.eternal

i've only ever done this for eternal so idk about other stickers

[manic rune]

likely the same

[stiff locust]

card of course referring to the card you are checking

[heavy canopy]

i would assume it's .perishable

[heavy canopy]

yes

[stiff locust]

yeah that should be everything but

make sure you check if card.edition exists before checking card.edition.key

or it could crash

[heavy canopy]

ok

thx

It works

thx

ngl

adding a custom jokers is shockingly easy

it's great

[digital niche]

how would i make this?

[manic rune]

events, :flip()

[stiff locust]

yeah it is

it's nice

[heavy canopy]

The art will be the hard part

youknowicattodoittoem

[stiff locust]

yeah

[brazen tusk]

not even triggering the mult gain now let alone destroying the cards ;-;

[digital niche]

just do "card:flip()"?

[stiff locust]

should be context.destroying_card not context.destroy_card

[manic rune]

other_card doesnt exist in context.destroy_card

replace context.other_card with context.destroy_card, and switch the positions of that and context.destroy_card

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

[stiff locust]

does destroy_card also work

[manic rune]

yeah

destroying_card is what vanilla uses

[stiff locust]

i thought it was just destroying_card

[manic rune]

i think destroy_card is added by smods

[stiff locust]

i see

[stiff locust]

also i think you need to return remove = true specifically to destroy the card

[brazen tusk]

so just swap them or?

[manic rune]

nope, just returning true will destroy them

[stiff locust]

oh cool

[digital niche]

event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.15, func = function() card:flip()?

[manic rune]

@brazen tusk this should be it

[manic rune]

thats not how you make an event

[brazen tusk]

ah missed that

ty

[manic rune]

i mean, you are close

this is how an event should look like

do remember to return true inside func, else it will loop forever

[digital niche]

tyty!

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

check this out if ur still confused

[quartz ravine]

it would be really cool if debugPlus could render a whole table, like the collection view, showing the impact of a shader on all jokers @rough furnace

[manic rune]

nessicary

[manic rune]

didnt

aiko manage to do that?

its definitely possible through a command

you should ask them

[brazen tusk]

still not doing anything ;-;

[manic rune]

oh wait

FUCK IM DUBM

[digital niche]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        Trigger = 'after',
                        delay = 0,15,
                        func = true,
                        card:flip()
                    }))```

[manic rune]

remove context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

you dont need any of those

[digital niche]

like that?

[brazen tusk]

oh alr

how come?

[manic rune]

its "trigger", but yes

and thats not how you define a func in there

func = function()  
  --do stuf
  return true --THIS IS IMPORTANT, DONT REMOVE
end

[digital niche]

ooh okok, tyty

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'after',
    delay = 0,15,
    func = function()
    card:flip()
    return true
       end
}))````

[digital niche]

like this @manic rune ?

[manic rune]

0.15

not 0,15

[digital niche]

oh okok, ty!

[manic rune]

and that should work, yeah

[digital niche]

anything else?

[digital niche]

okok! ty!

[manic rune]

but you will have to tweak the trigger and delay a bit to get your timing right

[steel egret]

Hey can I ask for crash help here?

[tawny narwhal]

ofc

[steel egret]

So I got this crash. I think it had to do with the hoarder joker from Extra Credit not allowing me to cash out a blind

[tawny narwhal]

Wait are you making a mod and this is happening?

[steel egret]

No I'm playing the game

[manic rune]

oh, those crashes are supposed to be in #⚙・modding-general

[steel egret]

Shoot alright

[manic rune]

#💻・modding-dev is usually for when you are making your own mod

[tawny narwhal]

Yo where do people make pixel art for jokers and whatnot for normally?

[manic rune]

aseprite

but for non-pixel art, probably smt like krita

or gimp 3.0, i heard good reviews about it

[hushed field]

Aseprite is my preferred pixel art tool

[wooden nexus]

bruh

[tawny narwhal]

Is the free trial adequate?

[wooden nexus]

I'll have to figure out why my flush not flushing

[primal robin]

How to force cards in card area be placed correctly?

Like after changing area.config.card_limit they're moving to new destinations not instantly

[sacred eagle]

hey so a friend of mine is installing a mod I made and it works fine on my own pc, but once I gave him a zip with all the relevant files it keeps crashing. any ideas on how to fix this? I know next to nothing about lua so any help would be appreciated! (here's the crash log)

[marble flint]

Looks like you didn't send both versions of the textures correctly

you need both the 1x and 2x versions and they need to be in the correct folders

[sacred eagle]

okay I'll give that a try tyvm!

[quartz ravine]

I solved my problem. How do you make a booster pack only of cards from your own mod?

First import two functions, one to give you a string startsWith function, and another to look at g_p_centers to find things that start with your prefix.

Finally, call that within your own booster pack

function StartsWith(String,Start)
    return string.sub(String,1,string.len(Start))==Start
 end

function string.starts(String,Start)
    return string.sub(String,1,string.len(Start))==Start
end



function getResourceWithPrefix(s)
    local results = {}
    for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if StartsWith(k, s) then 
            print(k)
            table.insert(results ,k)
        end
    end
    return results
 end


function getRandomFoxJoker()
    print("getting a random fox joker")
    local allFoxJokers = getResourceWithPrefix("j_Fox")
    print ("received list of " .. #allFoxJokers)
    local randomJoker = allFoxJokers[math.random(#allFoxJokers)]

    print ("random joker shall be ".. randomJoker)

    return randomJoker
end

[tall apex]

Whassup devgenerates? :3

[wintry solar]

You don’t need the string bit, just check the mod property on the center object

[tall apex]

could anyone help me tackle making my first booster pack? im struggling to understand what to do to get the items to show up and how to code them in :3

[glad osprey]

how do i get a jokers rarity

[red flower]

just make an objecttype 😭

[rancid bridge]

so i gotta check context.cards_destroyed ig

[red flower]

also don't use math.random there or it will not be consistent in the seed

[glad osprey]

<card>.config.center.rarity

[quartz ravine]

now that is a very cool idea, to use pseudorandom to control the spawn order

[tall apex]

joker that diverges the timeline

[digital niche]

did i do something wrong?

[rancid bridge]

i am still plenty confused

[red flower]

main_scoring is a boolean, not a card

[quartz ravine]

do you have an idea of how to use pseudorandom like that for spawning? I would totally implement it!

[digital niche]

so i add main_scoring = boolean instead of main_scoreing = card?

[red flower]

just replace math.random(max) for pseudorandom("seed", min, max)

[red flower]

no, boolean means true or false
just check if context.main_scoring and ... then

[digital niche]

oh so i invert the cardarea and the main_scoring?

[red flower]

it's fine both ways

[digital niche]

im not sure i follow sorry

[red flower]

the order wasn't the problem the problem is that you were comparing true == Card

[digital niche]

so i have to take out the "== card"?

[red flower]

yes

[digital niche]

tyty!

[tall apex]

hey N do you know at a glance why this color thingy isnt changing the background?

[red flower]

second issue is that you're returning a value outside of a context so it will return in all contexts

[red flower]

this is for a booster right

[tall apex]

mhm

[digital niche]

how do i fix this?

[red flower]

idk if returning things works but i do it like this (i think ic opied it from another mod)

[wintry solar]

cards_destroyed doesn’t exist

[tall apex]

oh, do you think that'd work with hex codes?

[digital niche]

my game crashes when i use it btw

[rancid bridge]

oh
vanilla code doesn't even help me then okay 🥲

[radiant plank]

how would i go about create a joker pair like gros michel and cavendish where the upgraded joker doesn't show up in the shop until the first has been destroyed?

[red flower]

G.C.JOY.X are all hex codes

[tall apex]

oh . w.

[red flower]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
    local Xmult = 1
    local dol = 0
    if pseudorandom('lucky') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 4 then
        Xmult = 2
    end
    if pseudorandom('lucky') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 15 then
        dol = G.GAME.dollars
    end
    return {
        x_mult = Xmult,
        dollars = dol
    }
end

idk what you want the effect to be tho just basing it on your code

[digital niche]

looks right! ty very much!

[rancid bridge]

so I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!

[scarlet spire]

sure why not

[red flower]

what do you want to do?

[digital niche]

for some reason the code is telling me to but a , in there

[wintry solar]

Look at the other canio code in vanilla

It’s there twice

[red flower]

why is it there twice lol i didnt know that

[tall apex]

wait do i have to define the hex code somewhere?

[radiant plank]

where can i find the shop logic

[digital niche]

does someone know why its telling me to add a ,?

[red flower]

no, you can just use HEX('000000')

[tall apex]

oh word

[red flower]

you have an extra end

[digital niche]

i tried taking outt but it tells me to add again

[rancid bridge]

oh does the other one start with this

[red flower]

then you might need it somewhere else

[red flower]

wait no sorry got confused by the formatting
can you send the file?

[tall apex]

RANCID PISS YELLOW BOOSTER PACK ATTAINED

[digital niche]

yeye! ill send in dm

[tall apex]

i love how im putting in effort to make this mod as unintuitive and unvanilla as possible

like my next issue to tackle is once i get the cards spawning in, how to make them spawn on random areas on the screen rather than being organized

[pale venture]

How do you make a custom suit not show up in the customize deck section?

[tall apex]

oh thats hot

thats hawt hawt

[red flower]

oh that ones cool

[tall apex]

never give me numbers for i will change them and experiment like a monkey with a typewriter

[rancid bridge]

ooh that looks nice

[tall apex]

can i give vanilla objects new keys?

i think thats the best way to approach this

[rancid bridge]

so context.remove_playing_cards exists then right?

[red flower]

what do you want to do?

[red flower]

yes

[tall apex]

well my goal is to create a booster pack that creates my favorite things in balatro from a table

[sacred eagle]

Okay I've been stuck on this for so long, is there any example of a front and back face card mod? I'm trying to find a way to make it all streamlined into one lua file but I feel my braincells melting trying to find a key that'd work for front faces on malverk.

[rancid bridge]

dear god i'm finally getting somewhere

[red flower]

you can make an ObjectType

[tall apex]

whazzat? c:

[digital niche]

how do i make a card take out money when played

[tall apex]

make it give a negative amount of money :3

[digital niche]

i tried using p_dollars = -1

[digital niche]

i tired but then nothing happened

[tall apex]

guh

idk thenmn

[red flower]

basically you can add cards to it to create a collection and then you can use as a set like "Joker" or "Tarot" https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

[rancid bridge]

so i need to check if the card getting destroyed has the hearts suit
and if it does, the joker gains x0.5 mult

[tall apex]

OH WAIT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED

[rancid bridge]

how do i check the suit...

do i even have this right actually

[tall apex]

say, where do i find the vanilla keys?

somewhere in vanilla code presumably.,

[digital niche]

could i use card.ability.rental then card:set_cost(1)?

[red flower]

game.lua search for self.P_CENTERS = {

[rancid bridge]

wait i found it i tghink

[tall apex]

ah i was in card..,,,

that explains why i was missing so many things

its beautiful

so many keys.,,,

[rancid bridge]

what do i put for just Hearts though

[scarlet spire]

is there a way to force unhighlight a card?

[rancid bridge]

Ah.

would this work then or did i do it horribly wrong

[digital niche]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
                card.ability.extra.money = -1
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.money } }
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        local bonus = card.ability.extra.money
        if bonus = -1 then return bonus end ```

how about that?

[brazen tusk]

think so but idk what you are going for

[rancid bridge]

basically:
if card with hearts suit is destroyed, the joker gains x0.5 mult

[brazen tusk]

im currently trying to figure out destroying myself to no avail so i can't help with that sorry

[rugged pier]

using debugplus, how do i print a line of code in the consule on balatro?

do i just do print()

?

[thin anchor]

who did this

[gaunt thistle]

hey lads, I need willing volunteers to try out lovely's gamepass build #1214591552903716954 message

[digital niche]

would this work as taking out money when playing the card?

ive set the rental cost before

[rancid bridge]

now i need it to add the mult to the total mult...

...how would i do that

[lament agate]

once i know modding thoroughly

this channel is done for

[solar eagle]

has newer smods broken if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand?

because i cant get it to work during scoring

it only runs once you win the round

baron doesn't work at all

[rancid bridge]

anybody have any idea

[solar eagle]

hmm its a bug introduced by me

let me investigate

[rancid bridge]

does this look right so far

[red flower]

you don't need all that in the return just return { xmult = card.ability.extra.currentXmult }

[radiant plank]

if i want to add bonus dollars to a card permanently like hiker does it how would i go about this

card.ability.extra.dollars doesn't seem like the way to go

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[radiant plank]

thanks!

[tall apex]

ive got it mostly working, im having two issues though

[radiant plank]

perfect

[digital niche]

how can i make it so you loose $1 when playing a card (enhancement

im thinking of just making it so it always comes with the rental sticker when you get it

[rancid bridge]

changed that

[rapid stag]

@daring fern please tell me how fix

[tall apex]

ok so, problem, none of the actual objects are showing up

its all going to the fallback default card

it made one lusty joker when i had that in the table which was weird

[red flower]

objecttypes are a bit weird honestly, i would recommend checking out a mod that uses them to check how to inject stuff

[radiant plank]

im trying to buff a scored card in the context.individual context but its happening after the card is scored. what's the proper context for this?

[brazen tusk]

whats the context to check the full hand not just scored cards? i tried G.play.cards but its not working

might need to change what im doing for it

[red flower]

wdym by buff

[red flower]

G.play.cards should have the full hand, what are you trying to do?

[red flower]

ohh you need context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[radiant plank]

like add a permabonus

[zealous glen]

Like Hiker?

[radiant plank]

yeah exactly

but i want the bonus to be added before the scoring

[zealous glen]

None because that’s not how Hiker works

[red flower]

also joker_main should be outside individual

[brazen tusk]

would adding that with an and do both?

[zealous glen]

You’d need to add the buff before

[red flower]

no, it should be an or

[brazen tusk]

ahh

[radiant plank]

how would i go about that?

[tall apex]

fair enough

[red flower]

heres a simple one https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/91400dd85b17ade4f0b4f91d485848434ad837e3/lib/content.lua#L304

[tall apex]

thanks c:

[brazen tusk]

should be, my comments just make it look odd rn

[red flower]

oh yeah i see

[brazen tusk]

now other_card is returning nil ;-;
bane of my existence

[rancid bridge]

okay now i need it to actually add the mult when a hearts card gets destroyed

[brazen tusk]

card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain

smth like that should be good

can replace the last one with the actual value if you dont wanna set up the variable

or replace it with your variables even*

[rancid bridge]

what.

what the fuck does it mean missed symbol

[brazen tusk]

ignore it

[red flower]

dont ignore it lol, its telling you card.ability.extra.currentXmult is not a valid field in the table

remove the return

[brazen tusk]

ohh

[rancid bridge]

so this then

[red flower]

yes

[brazen tusk]

my ide does that stuff sometimes for stuff that just isnt a problem 💀

[red flower]

i dont think other_card exists in remove_playing_cards tho

[rancid bridge]

are you kidding me 🥹

[red flower]

context.removed is a list of cards removed, you need to iterate through that

[thin anchor]

limited edition

[rancid bridge]

i don't even know what to do anymore i think my brain is collapsing

[red flower]

if context.remove_playing_cards then
    for _, pcard in ipairs(context.removed) do
        if pcard:is_suit("Hearts") then
            card.ability.extra.currentXMult = card.ability.extra.currentXMult + card.ability.extra.XMultIncrease
        end
    end
end

[next timber]

how come this only ever displays question marks? the print("Added!") is being shown so the list should be updated but its always just ?,?,?

[rancid bridge]

thanks

[tall apex]

well i got it summoning 5 cards now but, they arent random its the same 5

how does the rarities work in smods

[fringe gyro]

hey guys, so i'm trying to implement my joker idea in to the game, but i'm not sure how to implement one of the mechanics in to the joker. I'm trying to have it change the mult and Xmult based on the number of letters in the names and descriptions of other jokers, but i just don't know where that information would be stored or how to pull from it. Any ideas?

[stark geode]

i find the docs a little cofusin

[fringe gyro]

i'm not entire sure if this is the question your asking, but the rarity = 1 would be common, 2 is uncommon, 3 is rare, and 4 is legendary

[stark geode]

i meant like custom rarities

[fringe gyro]

ohhh, yeah i'm not sure, sorry

[red flower]

G.localization.descriptions["Joker"]["joker key"].name
G.localization.descriptions["Joker"]["joker key"].text

[tall apex]

i worked on this a lot, it spawns 5 cards i like, unfortunately not at random but that'll be something i take on another day

[fringe gyro]

ohh okay! What about doing it per joker that you currently own?

thank you so much for your help btw

[manic rune]

grab the joker key from each joker in G.jokers.cards

[fringe gyro]

how would i do that in the SMODS.Joker? I'm still verynew to Lua, i'm sorry

[stark geode]

whats the prefix for a rarity

like jokers are j_

[red flower]

for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    local name_lenght = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].name
    local text_lenght = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].text
end

[manic rune]

what the fuck

how did you write it that fast

😭

[fringe gyro]

nooo cuz that was my exact reaction too lmaoo

[manic rune]

-# oh right

[red flower]

im not writing this shit on discord

[manic rune]

i have a habit of writing code on discord instead ❤️

[stark geode]

who tf

[manic rune]

md

me

[stark geode]

rip

[red flower]

i dont think it has one

[fringe gyro]

under the loc_vars? or somewhere else?

[red flower]

wherever you want to get the counts

[manic rune]

you would probably want to manually remove the space inside the description too, actually

unless you want it to be counted too

[fringe gyro]

i'm doing it for a specific letter that changes each round a la ancient joker

[narrow iron]

someone got the error attempt to compare table with number on this line in my mod if G.GAME.dollars <= 10 and G.GAME.dollars >= 0 then, is G.GAME.dollars sometimes a table?

[manic rune]

no

thats talisman

[narrow iron]

oh

[frosty dock]

fuck talisman

[manic rune]

THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING MY PAIN AURE

[red flower]

https://tenor.com/view/they-were-forced-to-play-forced-to-play-crying-seal-talisman-gif-22200579

[manic rune]

💔

[manic rune]

modders when they have to make their mod compatible with talisman:

[narrow iron]

how do i add support for talisman then?

[manic rune]

add a to_big function

[frosty dock]

to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end

somewhere in your main file

[manic rune]

tup yup, that

[frosty dock]

then for any comparisons, you wrap the operands in to_big

[fringe gyro]

would i make the 'for _,' a variable and then use a randomise function?

[narrow iron]

do i just pass dollars through to_big when using it?

[frosty dock]

e.g. if to_big(G.GAME.dollars) <= to_big(10)

[narrow iron]

for every number?!

[manic rune]

nop, you use to_big on the number you are comparing with G.GAME.dollars

[narrow iron]

ohh

[frosty dock]

note: nothing will break if you don't to_big the dollars unless an old version of talisman is being used

this is only needed for comparisons

[manic rune]

same goes for when you are comparing with uhhh

let's see

[narrow iron]

yeaa i think i like talisman less now

[manic rune]

mult, hand_chips the global var

[scarlet spire]

round score iirc

[narrow iron]

lol

[manic rune]

G.GAME.chips

[red flower]

i dont get what you mean

[manic rune]

G.GAME.blind.chips

[stark geode]

how do rarities work with localization files

[narrow iron]

but only with comparisons?

[fringe gyro]

nevermind i missunderstood

[manic rune]

and probably some more, trial and error ❤️

[manic rune]

you would probably still need to do to_big when adding stuff with the stuff i listed above, just to be sure

[stark geode]

it shows error

[fringe gyro]

i'm trying to count the occurences of a certain, randomly chosen, letter in each the title and description, and use that number to effect the mult

[stark geode]

on the joker

[manic rune]

string.find

you can use that to see how many occurrences there are

[red flower]

labels = { k_perkolator_perkeo_r  = "Perkeo" }
dictionary = { k_perkolator_perkeo_r = "Perkeo" }

[manic rune]

aure N' just sent that before 💔

wait that sounded better in my head

[red flower]

smh

[fringe gyro]

how would that work in context? wouldn't it be several different strings?

[manic rune]

ah nvm its not string.find

i misremembered

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68473020/lua-count-occurrences-of-a-character-into-a-string

here, check out this one

[stark geode]

im losing my mind

[rugged pier]

is there a way to access the required chips to win a particular blind?

[manic rune]

G.GAME.blind.chips

[scarlet spire]

what would be the best way to make certain cards undiscardable, say for a boss blind?

[rugged pier]

thank you

[fringe gyro]

thank you! i'm still not sure how to get the, presumibly multiple strings, one for each name and each description

[manic rune]

hook to whatever function handles the discard stuff, and do the wonky thing i guess

[red flower]

maybe without the mod prefix

[manic rune]

-# i think my brain is running out of brain juice

[scarlet spire]

yeah I guess I could just hard code it

[stark geode]

nvm that shit is case sesative

i had to lowercase the r

[scarlet spire]

hard-coding for the specific boss blinds was my last resort

[red flower]

oh yeah

[manic rune]

for loop

actually, N', isnt description a table of text

[weak brook]

ok folks who know how to DynaText i got a predicament
i'm making an edition that functions a bit like Misprint but instead of randomly choosing a number it chooses a random effect, it either does foil, holo, or poly's effect. But i'm struggling to figure out how to put the XMult text box graphics in just one of the dynatext options
does anyone know how to help with that?

[red flower]

uhh yeah forgot

[stark geode]

how tf do i set the color

whats the format

[manic rune]

wha

[stark geode]

im guessing this is wrong

[manic rune]

thats weong

HEX('...') if you want to set your custom color

[red flower]

i dont think you can

[manic rune]

or G.C[blah blah] if you want to use a pre-existing color

[weak brook]

it's really not possible?

[manic rune]

inside is hex code of the color you want fyi

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.selling_card then
            return {
                chips = 0.75 * G.GAME.blind.chips,
            }
        end
    end

is there a reason why something like this would not work?

[fringe gyro]

would that be under the loc_vars part of the SMODS.Joker ?

[red flower]

im not really sure if dynatext has a way to add borders

[scarlet spire]

oh, semi-recently support was added for variable text background colors using the code B: instead of X:, so maybe you could just have it always be there and set the color in the table to white (which would be invisible) for every other entry and red for the xmult entry?

[manic rune]

in wherever you need to do the count

[manic rune]

not white, its clear i think

[scarlet spire]

oh is clear also a thing?

[manic rune]

mhm

[red flower]

yeah G.C.CLEAR

[scarlet spire]

even better then

[manic rune]

uhh, yeah, this will run even when you are not in a blind

and G.GAME.blind.chips doesn't exist outside a blind i think

[rugged pier]

oh whoops

[manic rune]

u dont need the {}

its not a table...

[rugged pier]

is there a context to check if im in a blind

[manic rune]

if G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.chips, probably?

[rugged pier]

let me try

[brazen tusk]

ive been trying this all day and cannot for the life of me get it to work, do i need to do a for loop or smth?

[manic rune]

mark the card played with something

like

[frosty dock]

this looks bad

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.chips and context.selling_card then
            return {
                chips = 0.75 * G.GAME.blind.chips,
            }
        end
    end

i guess you cant do math on these kind of variables?

seems weird

[manic rune]

context.other_card.ability["please_destroy"]

then add a separate context.destroy_card outside your context block

check if context.destroy_card has the mark

if it is, return true

[frosty dock]

if context.individual and (context.cardarea == G.play or context.cardarea == 'unscored') first of all

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[manic rune]

-# oh that exists

taking ss rq

[rugged pier]

would still fall for the error right

[red flower]

idk

[frosty dock]

then for the destroy_card check, it needs to be separate from the individual scoring

[rugged pier]

okay this helped not trigger the error when its outside the blind

now i need to do it for the actual implementation

[frosty dock]

if context.destroy_card and (context.cardarea == G.play or context.cardarea == 'unscored') and context.destroy_card:is_suit('Hearts') then return { remove = true } end something like this, separately from the other checks

[rugged pier]

yeah

it still happens

hmm

[manic rune]

i thought you just need to return true?

[manic rune]

it worked for me, idk

[frosty dock]

true is specifically converted to { remove = true } actually

[manic rune]

ahhh icic

[fringe gyro]

how do i do those little code snipits like that?

[frosty dock]

it's not recommended and you'll need to switch to a table if you want any customization on the effect

like some message being displayed

[manic rune]

o yea, N', have u checked my world system i added in my mod :3

[brazen tusk]

would that have to be a seperate return from my message etc or would those word with the true

[fringe gyro]

i'm trying to show the code that i have so far so i can ask for help in context

[red flower]

nope is it up already

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/lb34t3

[stark geode]

vscode fooled me lol

[frosty dock]

you can put a message into the table you're returning here if you want a message precisely when the cards are being destroyed, not scored

[rugged pier]

the code needs to go inbetween the backticks

[fringe gyro]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
        end,
        for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    local name_lenght = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].name
    local text_lenght = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].text
    for 

end
    ```

[brazen tusk]

alright cool tyvm

[manic rune]

im actually very proud that i got it working with minimum help from others :p

-# asides from the flying button

[stark geode]

yo this is sweet

[red flower]

ohh thats cool

[rugged pier]

how do i print out values using debugplus in the console

[red flower]

eval your_value

[rugged pier]

thank you

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/49bfdfdaccaefd479d38250b90c1387a

[rugged pier]

eval G.GAME.blind.chips * 0.75 like so?

[red flower]

yes

[rugged pier]

cool ty

[manic rune]

yeah, it allows you to switch between the vanilla showdown boss blind and the mega one from my mod :d

it also accounts for boss reroll, which will only reroll the vanilla one

[fringe gyro]

i want it to and mult and Xmult for each occurence of a certain letter in the names and descriptions of jokers i own, and also randomize what letter it looks for. I need to concatonate the joker names/descriptions in to 1 string each and use a for loop to count it. I'm not sure how to do that with lua, i'm sorry if this is beyond the scope of this channel

[rugged pier]

hmm weird, so eval G.GAME.blind.chips * 0.75 works and gives me the right number but when i put it in ```lua
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if G.GAME.blind.in_blind and context.selling_card then
return {
chips = 0.75 * G.GAME.blind.chips,
}
end
end

[manic rune]

maybe try setting the stuff outside return first

local ret = G.GAME.blind.chips * 0.75

then return that

[stark geode]

peak mod

[manic rune]

text should be red ngl

[digital niche]

how can i make a enhancement where everytime you play the card you loose $1

[rugged pier]

okay

[manic rune]

the red color of perkeo's hair i mean

[frosty dock]

yay

[manic rune]

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

then return dollars = -1

[stark geode]

text_color i assume

[manic rune]

oh thats fire

[maiden phoenix]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Enhancement

[red flower]

it might just be because youre trying to modify chips when a hand is not played

[digital niche]

tried but dont work

[frosty dock]

context.individual context.main_scoring

[digital niche]

also read but didnt help with that specific thing

[manic rune]

crap

[maiden phoenix]

Ah

[digital niche]

i tried using self.ability.rental but also didnt work

[manic rune]

is your name debug or smt

[maiden phoenix]

It's so hard to read I love it

[manic rune]

debug inspect swag???

[frosty dock]

what i said

[thin anchor]

how do i make shaders for editions?

[digital niche]

send debug message (inspect (swag))

[digital niche]

lemme try

[red flower]

sendDebugMessage(inspect(SWAG))

[manic rune]

what the fuck

[maiden phoenix]

Yea alright just prove me all wrong 😔

[manic rune]

guess i need to upgrade the swag side of my brain

[rugged pier]

oh, yeah im not trying to play a hand when a joker is being sold since that wouldnt be possible right

[manic rune]

this reminds me of teen code in my country

[rugged pier]

instead of returning chips, is there a way for me to set the chips of the current blind to that value

[manic rune]

this was the kinda stuff i had to deal with

[stark geode]

how does one set the text color of a rairity

[manic rune]

ease_chips?

[stark geode]

what in the

[digital niche]

like that?

[red flower]

i remember someone asked before and i checked and it was not possible without patching

[stark geode]

rip

[manic rune]

damn, i remember Winter being able to do that

[stark geode]

guess im not doing it

[rugged pier]

whats that

[manic rune]

set your current chips to the given number

[frosty dock]

not quite

[digital niche]

how then?

[fringe gyro]

    local name_lenght = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].name
    local text_lenght = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].text

how do i use/manipulate the output of this?

[red flower]

i mean the badge function accepts text color but i dont think rarities pass that

[frosty dock]

instead of this

return { dollars = -1 }

[digital niche]

ooh okok, ty!

[rugged pier]

so i do return { ease_chips = wtv the value is }

[frosty dock]

tables use curly braces

[manic rune]

no no

dont return

its a function

[rugged pier]

ah

[manic rune]

i wonder if thunk ever reads messages in those modding channels

[rugged pier]

ease_chips(0.75 * G.GAME.blind.chips)

[rugged pier]

i hope not

[red flower]

i bet he secretly really likes hit mod joyousspring

[manic rune]

i bet he loves gambling² reincarnated the mod

[rugged pier]

        if G.GAME.blind.in_blind and context.selling_card then
            ease_chips(0.75 * G.GAME.blind.chips)
        end
    end

like this?

[manic rune]

that will work, but it will always set the chips to that number i think

[rugged pier]

ooof

youre right

i didnt consider that

[digital niche]

it worked! ty so much!

[manic rune]

do stuff with G.GAME.chips too

[rugged pier]

wait i got it

[digital niche]

i was stuck on this for kind a while

[hushed field]

thunk dms me every night asking me to add his favorite movies to kino but i ignore him because he's kinda annoying

[rugged pier]

this checks chips scored right?

[manic rune]

checks how much chips you currently have

[rugged pier]

as in for the hand or for the round

[manic rune]

the round

[rugged pier]

awesome thats perfect

[hushed field]

this is the type of rp message my cat sends me when I'm having some snacks while watching a movie

[manic rune]

[stark geode]

what does the weight things do in rarity

["Joker"] = {rate = 0.7},

like that

thunk keeps dming me that he loses 50/50 in my mod

smh

[digital niche]

i thought of when you fuse 2 wild cards you get the "Monster" joker, everytime you play a steel card if turns into a "Claws" card (Fusion of Steel+Wild, gives X3 mult but breakes after 3 uses), what yall think?

does the thunk talk to people here

[manic rune]

i haven't seen him being around here before

[red flower]

not me he hates me

[rugged pier]

        if G.GAME.blind.in_blind and context.selling_card then
            ease_chips(0.75 * G.GAME.blind.chips + G.GAME.chips)
        end
    end
``` this worked perfectly, thanks @manic rune

[stark geode]

how do i make shaders

check example shsders

How the hell does the rarity badge colour work?

[fringe gyro]

    local name = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].name
    local text = #G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].text
``` how would i put all of the names and texts in to strings? i'm not sure about the format of Lua stuff

[manic rune]

remove the #

[heady siren]

I've tried G.C colors, I've tried hex codes, I've tried C/X: colors

[heady siren]

The # means you're trying to get the size of a table

So it'll return a number or nil

[manic rune]

show how your smods.ratity looks like rn

[rancid bridge]

what's the blank spot for
the "for _"

[red flower]

for index, value in ipairs(list) do

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-ipairs

[rugged pier]

G.C.CSMR_PRESERVERS = HEX('000000')
SMODS.Rarity{
  key = 'preserver',
  badge_colour = G.C.CSMR_PRESERVERS,
  default_weight = 0.75,
  pools = {['Joker'] = true},

this worked for me

[manic rune]

some people call index "key"

[fringe gyro]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
        end,
        for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    local name = G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].name
    local text = G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].text
        for "E" in name do
    Xmult =+1
    end
        for "E" in text do
    mult =+3
    end
``` is this right?

[manic rune]

idek which one is correct at this point

[red flower]

it's index for ipairs and key for pairs

[manic rune]

ohhhhhh

icic

[heady siren]

That's literally how I did it and it's just pure white

[rugged pier]

show me your code

[thin anchor]

what?

[manic rune]

ahhhh

rip

[manic rune]

close some of ur tabs

[heady siren]

The color I made works everywhere else

[brazen tusk]

would it be possible to make the destroy happen one card at a time?

[rancid bridge]

do i just leave it as "for _" or do i need to put something tghere

[red flower]

i think its because the color is assigned after you create the rarity

so G.C.FLESH doesnt exist at that point

[heady siren]

Rarities are established way before everything else?

[manic rune]

i think u can return delay

not sure though

[red flower]

all object definitions are run before most vanilla code afaik

you can try defining the colors outside the function

[rugged pier]

can you try just putting the color before the rarity

[heady siren]

Like I said the color works literally everwhere else, so I'm confused

[rugged pier]

and see if it changes anything

[heady siren]

I'll shove it before the rarity though

[rugged pier]

wait dont you have to call the funtion

[fringe gyro]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
        end,
        for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    local name = G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].name
    local text = G.localization.descriptions["Joker"][joker.config.center.key].text
        for "E" in name do
    Xmult =+1
    end
        for "E" in text do
    mult =+3
    end```
did i implement this right?

[red flower]

for _ is fine unless you plan to use that value for something

[heady siren]

That worked

Beware the Flesh Joker

[red flower]

loc_colour is called by the game, its a hook

[rugged pier]

ah gotcha

[rugged pier]

who knows what it does

[digital niche]

how hard is it to make a new type of consumable?

[rugged pier]

is there a context that can check if a card's suit or rank has changed?

or do i have to check for certain consumable types being used

[red flower]

i dont think so

[rugged pier]

so i do have to hardcode in what consumables can affect it

and risk imcompatibility with other mods

right?

[heady siren]

This is what I did to do things when consumables are used, you could probably find a way to finagle it into working using this

[red flower]

maybe hook set_base? idk

[heady siren]

That would probably work too

[rugged pier]

is there a wiki for hooks ive never used them before lol

[red flower]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[rugged pier]

thanks so much

[heady siren]

I was literally about to send that link

God damn you

[red flower]

❤️

[heady siren]

Does SMODS.change_base use the set_base function?

[red flower]

yes

[heady siren]

Alright good, then hooking set_base would be perfect

I should probably do that too

[digital niche]

i was a little bit distracted when coding and instead of putting the enhancement name i put my own full name 😭

[heady siren]

How the hell

[digital niche]

dont ask me i dont even know LOLL

[heady siren]

Also
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable

Though I'm not sure how to set up consumable sets

[digital niche]

yeah i meant like how cryptid have the codes yk?

[heady siren]

I know

OOP
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

There it is

Consumeable Type is the second one

[rugged pier]

so if i understand this correctly, hooks basically change base game functions, in this case set_base?

and so death, and other tarot cards that would change card ranks/suits

would use set_base

so i can check for joker being owned in set_base and add to his mult?

[heady siren]

They don't change it, they insert code right before it, when the function is called, it'll run your code, and then the function's code

[digital niche]

tyyy!!

[rugged pier]

gotcha so i would do
function set_base()
check if joker owned
do something if joker owned
end

[digital niche]

how can i make it so a card is destroyed after 3 rounds?

[rugged pier]

i think @heady siren has this exact implementation in their mod

counterfeit cards

actually no

its not rounds

[heady siren]

Not quite yet, it's an idea for now

[rugged pier]

but times scored

ah okay

[digital niche]

yeah thats what i meant actually

[rugged pier]

oh well i suppose you guys can implement together then lol

[digital niche]

with rounds i meant use, its just because the ones im using are h_x_mult so basically rounds

[orchid thunder]

would i not use G.GAME.mob_arena_values.area to get the area value

[digital niche]

trueee lol

[heady siren]

In the enhancement code in context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play / G.hand make it increment a card.ability.extra variable by 1, and if that variable is 3, do return {remove = true}, or card:remove(), if one doesn't work try the other

[digital niche]

okok!! tyy!

[crimson marlin]

erm how do i define my shader

[rugged pier]

local set_base_balatro = set_base
set_base = function(self, card, context)
    --do something
    local ret = set_base_balatro(self, card, context)
    return ret
end

is this what i do for hooks

[red flower]

no, sorry "set_base" doesn't exist I meant Card:set_base

function Card:set_base(card, initial)

[digital niche]

im like 99% sure this is wrong

i mean like i codded it wrong

[rugged pier]

local set_base_balatro = Card:set_base
Card:set_base = function(self, card, initial)
    --do something
    local ret = set_base_balatro(self, card, initial)
    return ret
end

so like this then ?

[red flower]

Card.set_base = function(self, card, initial)

[rugged pier]

following this

[red flower]

Card: passes self

[red flower]

also local set_base_balatro = Card.set_base

[digital niche]

@heady siren is it right?

[rugged pier]

gotcha
