[manic rune]

im not sure, eremel suggested me to make a dummy joker for this one

[naive raptor]

how do i make end_of_round context only trigger when the boss blind is defeated?

[manic rune]

and i think it currently works perfectly fine too

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.blind.boss and context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[glad osprey]

think it'd be better long term to make your own center

so if you want some kind of custom functionality that jokers cant give then you can jsut do that

[manic rune]

🤔 i dont think theres any a dummy joker cant do, or at least, i havent thought of one for now

[glad osprey]

the whole reason we got into this convo was because of something it couldnt do

[manic rune]

how im planning to do the hand_size thing through update is that it compares two number variables

if they are different, change hand_size

i dont think that should affect performance too much

[glad osprey]

im gonna make a skill tree mod just to spite you

[manic rune]

😭

mine saves for the entire profile too, in case you didnt know :3

[glad osprey]

oh its not a per run thing?

[manic rune]

nope

[glad osprey]

ill have to do that too

[manic rune]

im using both G.GAME and G.PROFILES to ensure that theres no cheating inbetween

its a pain in the ass when you have to accout for all possibilities 😭

[glad osprey]

seems overly complicated for something even vanilla balatro doesnt do

[naive raptor]

why is my long if statement not working?

[manic rune]

im sure there are people out there who can do this with much less effort lol

[glad osprey]

should be in parenthesis

[glad osprey]

yes like me and mogan

bcus we are going to make rougelite balatro now

just to spite you

[manic rune]

😭

[naive raptor]

like this
(#G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit)

[glad osprey]

da

[manic rune]

dawg is gonna steal my job 🥀

[glad osprey]

keep the old parenthesis tho

just insace

[manic rune]

anyways, at least i have jokers that wear equipments, stats and buffs :3

[primal terrace]

Sorry for barging in, but I might need some tips on basic stuff

[naive raptor]

why does steam keep closing 😭

[primal terrace]

Is now a good time to ask?

[glad osprey]

do you have decks tho

[manic rune]

fair point

[glad osprey]

too many of them to be specific

[high sinew]

for using debug helper for lua in VS how do i use it?

[manic rune]

dont ask to ask - ask right away, there are always people here available to help u :3

[glad osprey]

chat is this a dont ask to ask moment

[primal terrace]

You guys looked busy at the moment

[high sinew]

im trying to see how code runs im not sure how to do

[manic rune]

whats that??

[high sinew]

LuaHelper for VSCode

[glad osprey]

use these

only these

[red flower]

i used it once but i dont remember exactly how it works i think you need run and debug and make a config file

if this is for balatro modding you probably dont need it tho

[glad osprey]

im gonna impale you on those arrows if i see another one

:)

[high sinew]

I have these installed

[glad osprey]

uninstall other ones

you only need like one 😭

[high sinew]

ok ok

[glad osprey]

im kilign youruse

[naive raptor]

why is if not G.GAME.used_vouchers[v_bvjokers_gamblingdisorder] then not working

[daring fern]

It needs to be a string between the square brackets.

[naive raptor]

im stupid

[glad osprey]

my dumbass was looking for the error in the key itself 😭

[high sinew]

last thing for the Lua understandingim pretty sure it is reading my joker needed to be made here

Here is the loop where it loops at joker combo

it is pulling barry and other one pretty sure but doesnt make flayfluff

[manic rune]

question, if i were to use this to check for whenever a card is destroyed, what context do i need to use? i noticed the warning but its not clear enough for me 😭

[glad osprey]

if not scoring_hand i think

[manic rune]

something like this then, right?

[glad osprey]

check caino's code

do not trust me 🙏

[manic rune]

...thats a different context

😭

[glad osprey]

guh

[manic rune]

i think it doesnt account for immolate or something?

from what i heard

[glad osprey]

no it should

[manic rune]

hm, maybe i remembered it wrong

[glad osprey]

check other mods code?????

actually maybe just remove playing card

try doing that and printing smth

[red flower]

it is remove playing card

[manic rune]

couldve swore there was a bug about destroying cards or something in the vanilla code 😭

[red flower]

i think this one is never used

[manic rune]

bluh

[glad osprey]

if context.remove_playing_card then
  print("Hi!")
end

[manic rune]

yeah im gonna try printing

oh hey, its correct

if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.scoring_hand then

[tall wharf]

hello

i made my own context

[manic rune]

hi aiko

[manic rune]

what is it

[glad osprey]

ok

[glad osprey]

hi

[tall wharf]

when joker dies

[manic rune]

lovely

[glad osprey]

seals guy i am going to revoke your reaction permissions

[manic rune]

hey, leave them and their reaction privilege alone

[glad osprey]

nah :4

[manic rune]

aaalright i think this should work perfectly now

[cyan lagoon]

how do i make a joker wiggle like dna or invis?

[manic rune]

juice_until

[cyan lagoon]

so uh... how do i use it?

[tall wharf]

how are you using it

[willow plinth]

close enough eh?

[cyan lagoon]

same as juice_up

[willow plinth]

turns out updating soul_pos every frame is not enough

[daring fern]

It's juice_card_until

Also you have to mention when you want it to stop.

[cyan lagoon]

the context?

[cyan lagoon]

can i replace G.GAME with a context?

context.ending_shop to be specific

[red flower]

no

you need to use G.STATE

(or add some logic to update a value in the joker on ending_shop)

[primal terrace]

As a noob, I have been trying to figure this out for an embarrassingly long time

When the hand is played, check the cards held in hand if there are face cards. If there are, then add +15 Chips to itself, If there are not, then do not add Chips. At the end of the hand, add all accumulated Chips to score.

Here is what my code looks like, currently it upgrades regardless of if there are face cards held in hand, so I need to fix the face card held in hand checker

[crisp coral]

your code only stops upgrading once it finds a face card

so if the hand order is like 32KA, the first two cards will still be upgraded

[frosty rampart]

also, for clarity, do you mean "held in hand" or "in played hand"? the joker description says the former but your code is attempting to implement the latter

[crisp coral]

in played hand would be G.play

[frosty rampart]

oh right i'm dum

[primal terrace]

Yes, context.other_card:is_face() should work during G.hand, right?

[faint yacht]

Yes.

[primal terrace]

That's good

[faint yacht]

context.other_card also exists in G.discard if you enable that optional feature.

[frosty rampart]

yea my bad
the issue is that it will be checking, and upgrading, for every card in your hand, instead of checking over every card in your hand before performing a single upgrade

[daring fern]

You should be checking in just context.before and iterate through the cards in hand and if there are no face cards then upgrade.

[maiden river]

time to retrigger consumables
(I Know How To Do This, Trust)

[quick kraken]

Does steamodded's support for Xchips have the cryptid sound effect?

[hard needle]

man wtf

[quick kraken]

Yes that's exactly what I meant

[hard needle]

i have a joker that literally does that

[quick kraken]

Thanks for confirmation

[daring fern]

Thats what SMODS uses.

[primal terrace]

Oh? How do you resolve the issue in your code?

[hard needle]

https://github.com/miniscoped/stuffz <- modules/joker.lua just search "sad_face" and look at the calculate function

[maiden river]

oh btw
how do you enable the optional features of smods

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        retrigger_joker = true,
        post_trigger = true,
        cardareas = {
            discard = true,
            deck = true,
        }
        --- ^ for example
    }
end

[maiden river]

I see

thank you

now to get to work

[faint yacht]

If you want to target other CardAreas (say, context.individual and context.cardarea = G.deck), cardareas = {} should be returned, where the {} contains said names of areas.

[maiden river]

nice

is this on the docs 😭

[daring fern]

No.

[maiden river]

ah

hopefully this helps me in my Insanity Arc™️

why is the tm purple

[glad osprey]

how do you save stuff to the profile

[daring fern]

Put it in G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].variable

[heady siren]

Help I was dreaming about coding my mod and Tobuscus started invading my return tables

[faint yacht]

🤔

[wintry solar]

It’s on the private docs 🙃

[maiden river]

oh

I'm assuming those are, uh
private

[wintry solar]

The trick to seeing them is to ask me a question

Or wait until I finish them 🤣

[faint yacht]

-# He is the modem to the doc-network.

[maiden river]

I see

this must be why you are the Wizard

do you have an orb that you ponder

and if so, is it the jimball

oh

I've found some shenanigans

[rapid stag]

does calculate_retriggers() have documentation '-'

[wintry solar]

No it’s not an outward facing function

[rapid stag]

ah

[maiden river]

I see

maybe I'm getting too crazy with it

[rapid stag]

did i break something, why is pseudorandom('mySeedHere') < 0.25 always true

[maiden river]

I mean
you might just be getting lucky

how many times did you test it

[rapid stag]

yes

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do

[rapid stag]

on game start, title screen card has a 1 in 4 chance of being polychrome

except it's obviously being 4 in 4 for whatever reason

it's not been not polychrome once since i implemented this.

[maiden river]

oh
the value's not going to change on the menu

[quick kraken]

Could it be that the seed stays the same?

[maiden river]

yeah

I tried that before too

[wintry solar]

Yeah there’s no seed there

[rapid stag]

🫠 wonderful

[quick kraken]

Could there be a pseudorandom function that takes from any other source?

[red flower]

math.random

[quick kraken]

Is there a way to grab the current time maybe or smth?

[faint yacht]

self.SEED = os.time() from globals.lua.

[maiden river]

I'd imagine that's how the wheel works on the multiplayer mod title screen

[limber blaze]

this has no gameplay effect you can just get away with using math.random

[red flower]

yes

[maiden river]

wheel up

[glad osprey]

use math.random for non-gameplay things

[round garden]

juice_up is a peak function name is that vanilla

[red flower]

yes

it's what makes the cards wiggle

[round garden]

good to know

[wintry solar]

There’s also juice_card

[primal terrace]

Thank you very much for providing your code for reference
It is a good learning resource

[red flower]

juice_up: good, takes you out to dinner first, best coworker
juice_card_until: evil, most annoying neighbor, guilty of 10 counts of murder

[hard needle]

You should also download it and play it for more knowledge :trol:

[maiden river]

I've come up with an alternative solution for my retriggering
unfortunately it may end in an infinite loop

[wintry solar]

juice_card: locked away in the basement forgotten about for all eternity?

[red flower]

yes

[maiden river]

it did lmao
technically not infinite, but it only worked on one card instead of all five

[wintry solar]

What’s the retriggering problem you’re trying to do?

[maiden river]

I'm trying to retrigger a card I made in a custom cardarea

which is a consumable

[wintry solar]

Does it have a calculate function

[maiden river]

yes

[wintry solar]

And you’ve added the custom area to the calculation pipeline right?

[maiden river]

yup

[wintry solar]

So you just want some other object (joker?) to retrigger this custom card?

[maiden river]

yes

SMODS.Joker({
    key = "friends_movie",
    atlas = "card_backs",
    pos = { x = 6, y = 7},
    config = {
        extra = {
            repetitions = 1
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.repetitions}}
    end,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.weapon_hit or context.weapon_missed then
            -- loops until there's no ammo, which is expected
            SMODS.calculate_context({friends_movie = true, other_card = context.other_card})
        end
    end
})

here's the jank code, for reference

[wintry solar]

What’s this code supposed to do?

[maiden river]

retrigger all held weapon cards once

which technically works with the jank™️

(the retriggering part, at least)

[wintry solar]

Have you tried this?

if context.retrigger_joker and context.cardarea = CARDAREANAME then
  return { repetitions = 1 }
end```

[maiden river]

I think I did? if I didn't I might feel silly here in a few seconds

[wintry solar]

I don’t remember how the retrigger context is structured fully because I don’t use it

Let me double check

[stone lance]

Did you ever figure this out?

[maiden river]

uh

lemme see

[wintry solar]

Maybe this is better

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_context.cardarea == CARDAREANAME then
  return { repetitions = 1 }
end```

[willow plinth]

ahhhh i'm so close ://///

[hard flume]

Pikmin Cards are like custom suits that can be created and stored at any time, as long as you have the correct onions

You need to have Pellet consumables to create them.

[maiden river]

I have no idea 😭

[faint yacht]

-# Which method you are using for changing frames?

[stone lance]

Damn. I have a custom seal and want to make a challenge deck that is JUST that seal (like what you were trying to do) so that's unfortunate.
It shows up with the seals in the deck preview, too

[maiden river]

neither of those worked 😭

[willow plinth]

basically a very simplified version of the Aura mod

[faint yacht]

Changing .children.floating_sprite at any point?

[willow plinth]

nope, but just discovered that in the source code, currently trying it out

i changed children.front instead

[faint yacht]

...reminds me, wanted to make this silly guy as a floating animated sprite.

[wintry solar]

Can you throw this in the joker calc function and send me the output?

local output = “”
for k,v in pairs(context) do
  output = output .. k .. “/“
end
print(output)

[maiden river]

unicode " 😭

[wintry solar]

Oh rip do those ones not work either

[willow plinth]

omg i did it

[wintry solar]

Mobile coding 😭

[faint yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/rotating-banana-meme-rotating-banana-banana-faster-faster-and-faster-gif-18265963

[red flower]

congrats thats really cool

[heady siren]

https://tenor.com/view/voices-of-the-void-argemia-spin-gif-7636965076329836007

[willow plinth]

too bad my code is typescript transpiled to lua 😂

[heady siren]

I mean hey if it works

[maiden river]

there is so much output 😭

do you even want all of it

[wintry solar]

Yes

[maiden river]

okay

[faint yacht]

-# More logs, more details.

[wintry solar]

Screenshot preferable

[heady siren]

'boutta snort those logs like coke

[maiden river]

prepare for a lot of screenshots

[wintry solar]

Or a text file would be fine

[maiden river]

oh okay

[wintry solar]

Just not inline code, it’s a pain in the arse to read on mobile

[maiden river]

god damn I have to stop doxxing myself 😭

[wintry solar]

You want to retrigger the weapon hit?

[maiden river]

yes
or miss; the weapon needs just needs to fire twice

[wintry solar]

This one looks to have fired four times?

[maiden river]

updated version; without doxxing myself

[maiden river]

five; once per card

[wintry solar]

Okay let me adapt the print somewhat

@maiden river

if context.retrigger_joker_check then
local output = “”
for k,v in pairs(context.other_context) do
  output = output .. k .. “/“
end
print(output)
end

[lethal stratus]

played hands arent going in the hand table properly

[maiden river]

okay 😭

[lethal stratus]

this one used to work but got broken

[wintry solar]

Indent your code properly and you will see the problem

[lethal stratus]

is it the end?

[wintry solar]

What’s the new card area called?

[lethal stratus]

indented better, still dont see it

[maiden river]

G.weapons

[wintry solar]

What did you put as the retrigger context code?

[wintry solar]

This one

[maiden river]

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_context.cardarea == G.weapons then
  return {
    repetitions = 1
  }
end

[red flower]

please get the lua extension and auto-format the code lol

the problem is that context.after is inside joker_main

[lethal stratus]

i have the lua extension

?

coded this before i got it

[agile dew]

how do i make a joker have a different effect and retrigger cards?

rn im trying to make a joker that retriggers all foils and gives xchips if a condition is met

[wintry solar]

And this didn’t work?

[maiden river]

nope

[wintry solar]

Huh

[red flower]

then shift+alt+f or right-click > format document

[faint yacht]

...this is not an extension, more of for syntax highlighting & folding. @lethal stratus

[wintry solar]

Can you put a print inside it?

[maiden river]

sure

nothing showed up

[wintry solar]

Hmmm

Does it print if you change it to G.jokers

[maiden river]

yes

[wintry solar]

Did it retrigger?

[daring heron]

anyone know how to fix this?
this is the code:

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Test Mod
--- MOD_ID: TEST

----- MOD CODE END -----

i'm trying to follow a tutorial and it looks like i did about everything right but it crashes

[maiden river]

it seems like you're using an old tutorial

[daring heron]

fair enough

is there an updated one?

[maiden river]

it's somewhere in here

lemme find it

[agile dew]

you forgot the comma after px

and after the name of the joker

[maiden river]

oh

yeah that would do it too

[agile dew]

[daring heron]

i'm kinda looking for a video perhaps

[maiden river]

I don't think there's a more up-to-date video

[daring fern]

There is a video there.

[maiden river]

someone is working on one, I think

[daring heron]

oh nice

anyway yeah it worked and i'm amazed

i didnt even think i could come this far

thanks guys

didnt use the right image though..

[maiden river]

it's case sensitive

you have to write key = 'JokersTest' in your Joker

[daring heron]

oh, i think i found it

yeah

this is surprisingly fun

[sturdy compass]

Been thinking about making one in passing ngl lol

[daring heron]

still doesnt use the right image though

[sturdy compass]

You’re not specifying the atlas and position in your Joker

[daring heron]

where should i do that?

[maiden river]

it does actually retrigger the loading part, which is weird

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Atlas#applying-textures-to-cards

[pseudo current]

Guys is this posible to code ingame?

[maiden river]

gains chips?

[red flower]

yes, i dont know if there's an easy way to do it tho

[maiden river]

yeah

[daring heron]

that did.. something

[maiden river]

it should be (0, 0) not (1, 1)

[red flower]

i made this but i had to do some custom calculate_joker logic and it only works with my cards

[daring heron]

btw is there an easier way to reload the game instead of closing it and opening it back up

[red flower]

alt+f5 i think

[daring fern]

Hold m or press ALT + F5

[maiden river]

alt f5 is faster

[daring heron]

nice

alt f4 tho

[maiden river]

true

[pseudo current]

Is this similar to the one i gave?

[red flower]

similar in that it gives chips to a joker yes

[maiden river]

I mean
if you're a coder dev, wouldn't the answer be yes anyway

[red flower]

yeah

[pseudo current]

I mean, some are not CURRENTLY working on a mod

[maiden river]

I mean, I guess

[pseudo current]

or just doing some test things

[faint yacht]

Finishing description for this atm.

[sturdy compass]

Never tried this but I wonder if giving a Joker a perma bonus would work?

[maiden river]

sets your game speed to 1

[pseudo current]

I'm trying to make a Joker like that on a mod but the codder said that he didn't knew how

[red flower]

if it works just like that it would be funny

[pseudo current]

"Predicts the boss blind for the previous ante"

[sturdy compass]

Agreed lol

[wintry solar]

Is the code on GitHub? I might need to have a proper play

[maiden river]

yeah

https://github.com/rae-vyn/friendsvsbalatro

get the source code

and prepare for a wild ride

(it's now revealed that it was all an elaborate trick, to get eremel to play fvb. raevyn cackles in delight)

[agile dew]

can you add xchips to a joker?

or am i tweaking?

[pseudo current]

both

[sturdy compass]

Like have a Joker give Xchips on scoring or just add Xchips to the Joker?

[wintry solar]

Pfffft I don’t play this game I just test stuff

[maiden river]

fr 🗣️

after I stopped playing my mod I discovered that I'm ass at balatro

[pseudo current]

Me playtesting my mod with 0 Jokers from my mod:

[pseudo current]

In my case my mod made the game somehow harder XD

[agile dew]

a joker giving xchips on scoring

theres no xchips_mod from what i see

[maiden river]

astra have you played fvb

[red flower]

xchips = value works

[pseudo current]

XMult has the same effect tho

[sturdy compass]

I’m like Eremel, I don’t play the game I just code

[maiden river]

enter: the plasma deck

😔

[pseudo current]

true

[red flower]

i like xchips it has a nice sound

[maiden river]

maybe you should take a break
[spoken akin to the green goblin mask]

[red flower]

also my mod has a million cards so sometimes i want to make chips/mult counterparts

[wintry solar]

Coding is fun, there are other games I’d choose over balatro to have fun

[maiden river]

that's fair

although I keep accidentally getting into the comp scene of every game I play often

but it got me a college scholarship so I'm still unpunished

[maiden river]

hmmm

something is off about my two pair

[maiden phoenix]

You should check Replicube if you like coding

[maiden river]

I've been wanting to check out replicube for a bit

but I'm replibroke

[wintry solar]

Looks interesting

[cyan lagoon]

how do i make a joker see the presence of other joker?

[placid star]

why is there so little documentation on how to make custom card areas 😭

[maiden river]

there's next(SMODS.find_card([key]))

[maiden river]

a lot of people just don't do it

[cyan lagoon]

thanks

[placid star]

but i want toooo 😭

[red flower]

what do you need to know

[placid star]

just yk... how to do it...

[red flower]

for what

[placid star]

for a new type of reusable consumable i want to make

[sage crater]

replicube is basically just fucking around with desmos:the game

[maiden phoenix]

Still a nice game

[sage crater]

also it's 10 dubloons. I feel like I can get the same experience for cheaper on a website or smthn

[sage crater]

I'm sure it is, but it's not for me

currently

[maiden phoenix]

Ok

[red flower]

you want it to show up on the side like the consumable area or in another way entirely?

[maiden river]

I mean, sure
but you're also supporting a solo dev

[placid star]

just below the consumable tray

[red flower]

the field spell area for my mod is like that but I also have a bunch of extra logic for it so you might need to check out another mod lol

but here's the code if it helps https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/58749c3f350bbf101e0167e19bf072008c6119ea/src/extra_deck.lua#L255

[sage crater]

And I'm all for supporting indie devs... but I can get nuclear throne, REPO, terraria, GMod, or Undertale for the same price

[red flower]

type = 'extra_deck' can be type = 'joker' (or 'jokers'?) in your case

[red flower]

isnt balatro 15

i feel like this is the wrong discord for this convo lol

[maiden river]

😭

[mystic river]

or, for the price of a single aaa game, you can get all of those games and balatro

[placid star]

but can you lose a baron mime build to the plant on ante 7 in terraria?

[red flower]

balatro should be 80 dollars

[sage crater]

yes, but I'm also getting hundreds of hours of enjoyment out of balatro

[red flower]

you could get hundreds of hours out of that game

[sage crater]

my point wasn't about the price, it was that all those other games are monumentally more enjoyable

[sage crater]

I really doubt it

unless you replay levels

[agile dew]

how can i give money during a retrigger?

[sage crater]

commandotrue

[red flower]

i mean if your point is that its not good enough for the price then yeah maybe but i dont agree with the time/price argument

[placid star]

does the 0, 0 dictate the position of said card area

[red flower]

yes

i dont set it there because im setting it after the consumable area is aligned

(i love magic numbers)

[placid star]

omg now i see why people stay away from card areas

like theres like 3 mods that does it

[maiden river]

wait so you're just saying you're not buying it because you don't like it 😭

[maiden river]

and fvb

[placid star]

woah does that mean you can help 👉 👈

[red flower]

i mean most mods dont need cardareas

and the screen is already pretty crammed

[placid star]

for sure, but tbh most of the reason im coding is for a challenge and to learn

[maiden river]

you can look at the fvb code 😭
tbh I did most of it months ago and I'm lost in the sauce

[faint yacht]

...redefine Joker and Consumable cardareas to be more compact. 😂

[placid star]

the fact that i love balatro only helps

[red flower]

doesnt work if 5 mods want a cardarea on the right side lol

[sage crater]

yes lmao

[maiden river]

I actually have two card areas in fvb, and three if you have another mod that has a cardarea in it (maximus)

[red flower]

i have 2 visible ones and like 10 invisible ones

[faint yacht]

I didn't speak of other mods, just the two areas by themselves. 🍞

[red flower]

oh i get it now

would be funny to make all jokers wee sized

and cram them there

[faint yacht]

Wee^2.

[maiden river]

wee debuff

[red flower]

yoo

[maiden river]

they shrink down when you pick them up

had to hook emplace but it was all worth it

just found this in the shop
I gotta rework this 😭

[placid star]

        card_limit = self.GAME.starting_params.weapon_slots,
        type = "joker", -- set this to joker to properly handle use/sell buttons
        highlight_limit = 1,
        view_deck = true```

so for clarification, in your mod is this what actually creates and displays the area?

[maiden river]

yeah that's what creates the area itself

[placid star]

and do you define the position of the area later?

[maiden river]

I think so

[sturdy compass]

I’ll take a break when the mod is done

10 more jokers to go and then I’m basically just waiting on art

[sage crater]

ten more?? you're insane

I've gotten one joker "done" and it doesn't even work

over the span of this entire weekend lol

[sturdy compass]

10 more is light work for me atp lol

[maiden river]

I made 45 consumables

[sage crater]

I can tell 😭

[maiden river]

And like 20 jokers

[sage crater]

I respect the hell out of y'all's commitment to the modding scene of this game

[placid star]

@maiden river @red flower urm guys...

[sturdy compass]

The goal is 150 total jokers to match the base game count lol

And that doesn’t even take into account the other features lol

[maiden river]

Uh 💀

[red flower]

persists between runs

roguelite balatro

[daring heron]

hm..

[sage crater]

that's a crazy goal

[placid star]

idek dawg 😭

[red flower]

my goal is also 150 (i have 329 rn so i have to cut down)

[daring fern]

You forgot a comma after loc_txt

[sturdy compass]

Comma after your loc_txt table

[sturdy compass]

[red flower]

tbf i dont do art so that helps

[daring heron]

wait, where?

[red flower]

was this legit confusion or just a funny screenshot btw

[daring heron]

that needs a comma?

[pseudo current]

100% lol

[placid star]

i can imagine it helps if you have a decicated artist @sturdy compass ...

[placid star]

genuine confusion i have NO idea what im doing

[red flower]

where are you initializing the area

[placid star]

the only code i have so far 😝😝

[sturdy compass]

@deft bane my main mans 💪

[maiden river]

Oh

[sturdy compass]

There are two others who have done art too but it’s mainly him

[maiden river]

You didn't call the reference

[placid star]

what reference dawg 😭

[daring fern]

start_run_ref

[placid star]

ah

[deft bane]

[placid star]

YAYYY

how would one find the location of the consumeable tray and set the card areas pos to that - how ever many pixels?

[red flower]

like this?

[tall wharf]

5

[placid star]

yeah like that...

[red flower]

idk

[placid star]

LMAOO

[tall wharf]

OH GOD

[cyan lagoon]

how do i stop info_queue of other jokers appearing in info_queue?

like here. i dont want there being 'token joker'

[placid star]

@red flower one last question. why isnt my card area moving like how the others do with parallax when you move your mouse and it doesnt look like its under fisheyes

[unborn bay]

instead of an info queue directly referencing a center just set it to a key and set table

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = "j_whatever", set = "Joker"}

[cyan lagoon]

what do i write in the set?

[unborn bay]

depends exactly on what you're looking for

if it's a joker its Joker if its a tarot its Tarot

[cyan lagoon]

ok

thanks

[red flower]

idk what you mean

[placid star]

here how when i move my mouse, the card areas all kinda move around apart from mine

[red flower]

ohhh i dont play with any of that on idk

[daring fern]

Why do you have screen shake 100?

[placid star]

its more dramatic ...

[daring heron]

how do i make a simple x1.5 mult card that activates each scored card?

[cyan lagoon]

context.individual

[daring heron]

i mean the entire code

not just the trigger

[cyan lagoon]

...sure

[daring heron]

well, not the entire code

just a tutorial on how to add mult

this is my first joker

[cyan lagoon]

oh gimme a sec

[daring fern]

Did you watch the video in the thread?

[daring heron]

not yet

i pretty much just want what the default joker does but x1.5 mult

but i'll do that tomorrow

it's getting late

thanks for the help guys

[daring heron]

never coulve done this without yall

[cyan lagoon]

here

[dark roost]

might be really simple and stupid but I can't for the life of me figure out how to just change a joker's name with take_ownership. I got atlases and custom sprites working, but not names.
The 2 ways at the end both just crash the game, and the one at the top just makes all the text disappear. I tried including a description there as well, but then I got a crash because of a variable and I don't want to remake the entire description setting for every joker that might get more complicated.

[red flower]

i think it's because they get overwritten by the localization files

you can do that instead

[dark roost]

just change the names in my own local files?

[red flower]

you can have a localization file in your mod and add a descriptions.Joker.j_joker field

im pretty sure ive never done it myself

[cyan lagoon]

bump

[high sinew]

is the level set up correctly here?

will it spawn the anaheim chile

[chilly hull]

how come this crashes? i copied what the steammodded wiki said just changed the colour

[gusty iron]

I GOTTA

I HAVE TO MAKE BLURSED

[daring fern]

Remove the octothorpe.

[chilly hull]

the what
i dont know those fancy symbol names

[red flower]

too classy to say hashtag

[chilly hull]

lemme google

thanks mister

[high sinew]

is there a way to test a mod in VS Code?

without having to rungame

[daring fern]

No.

[red flower]

how would that work

maybe with the unit testing thing some people were making

[dark roost]

did some more googling based on the localisation tip and got it to work by just putting this at the end of my file

[chilly hull]

now how am i supposed to use this if i wanna make my bg 13FOEC and my text FFFFFF

[placid star]

why arent you just using HEX()

[daring fern]

Use HEX()

[chilly hull]

idk how o use em with hex when having both B: and V:

its ma first time using lua 😭

[placid star]

`colours = {HEX('000000'), HEX('FFFFFF')}

[chilly hull]

that does make sense thank you

[placid star]

same but dw, it gets easier!

@red flower so with my cardarea code, when i open the collection the sprites just go onto the screen and become draggable and when i start a run my game immediately dies

[red flower]

weird what's the code

[chilly hull]

text aint white :c

[red flower]

hmm i dont know if that emplace hook works how you want, i think emplace does more things

or maybe not idk

[placid star]

ill try it without

[red flower]

nah was thinking of another function

[placid star]

taht did fix it...

[red flower]

amazing

[placid star]

but like, how do i emplace my cards now...

[red flower]

i personally do a couple of lovely patches for that

[native ridge]

Just bumping this now that it's a more reasonable time of day

[placid star]

send the code

[chilly hull]

oh i forgor to answer i fixed it

just put an enter inbetween the two

[cyan lagoon]

anyone knows how to use retrigger_joker feature?

[pale venture]

are specific boss blinds only identifiable with G.GAME.blind.name?

[thin swift]

chat how do we feel about this joker name = 'We Do Some Trolling', text = { '{C:red}+69{} Mult, {X:mult,C:white}X10{} Mult', '{C:red}1 in 10 chance every blind{}', '{C:red}selected that the game ends{}' }

[red flower]

.config.blind.key also works i think

[pale venture]

let me check

oh yeah it works

couldn't find it in source code for some reason

[gentle rain]

feeling like yandev

[sturdy compass]

😭

[sage crater]

btw if you use three grave keys simultaneously,

like this

you can make code blocks that span multiple lines

[sturdy compass]

There is definitely a better way of going about this via indexing SMODS.Ranks

[thin swift]

ah thank you, thats what i was looking for

[gentle rain]

ah ill have to look into that

[primal robin]

if name == rank then
  letter = 'a'
else
  local joined_key = tostring(rank)..":"..name
  local values = { "8:8" = "an", "14:Ace" = "an" }
  letter = values[joined_key] or "a"
end

[thin swift]

does anybody have any context code for creating and destroying playing cards with jokers? i just dont know how to go about it right now

[chilly hull]

i wanna check for the leftmost joker and destroy it but i dont know how to check for it

[red flower]

G.jokers.cards[1]

that's the leftmost

[chilly hull]

oh thats what thatt meant

thank you

why isnt it 0 doe

[red flower]

lua is 1-indexed

[red flower]

i dont have any code but for creating use the function create_playing_card and for destroying return { remove = true } in context.destroy_card (more info in the docs)

[chilly hull]

how would you check if its the self card

like tthe joker itself

[red flower]

card ~= G.jokers.cards[1] for not equals

[chilly hull]

(my t key is broken i type double t sometimes sorry)

[thin swift]

sorry im new to this, which docs? and i got it to destroy all the cards, so im working with that for now

[red flower]

these https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[thin swift]

thank you!!!

[chilly hull]

it works! you a smart man

[placid star]

is there a context for new ante?

also is there a way to not destroy a consumable on use?

[faint yacht]

keep_on_use.

[placid star]

tyyyy

[glad osprey]

how would I add a new tab to this menu

[tepid crow]

I'd start by taking the headset off the screen but maybe that's just me

[red flower]

aiko's mod does it iirc

for the hardcore challenges

[gentle rain]

blehhh why does it crash when trying to check for a rank

[glad osprey]

@tall wharf is this true

[red flower]

take the brackets out of ipairs

[gentle rain]

oh lmao

[tall wharf]

is it

[placid star]

bump...

[glad osprey]

idk that's why I'm asking you

[tall wharf]

the patch is not exactly compatible lol

[glad osprey]

dam 😔

[tall wharf]

so like

[glad osprey]

I need it for rougelite balatro

[tall wharf]

😭

[glad osprey]

aka hiker

unless yall have any better ideas as to where I should put an upgrade selection menu 🙏

[chrome widget]

Having a minor issue with event timing. I want to add a visual trigger in addition to card activations, but I can't seem to find a way to play an event exactly parallel with another

[tall wharf]

i mean

[chrome widget]

Here's an example:

I can get this aura flare to play when the card is first triggered, but I can't seem to line it up with when the card actually applies its specific mult effect:

[chilly hull]

what does seed mean in pseudorandom?

[tall wharf]

random on computers aren't actually random

it basically takes an input and changes it to somethin else

[chrome widget]

You need a seed value in a pseudorandom number generator. You use the pseudoseed() function, which accepts a string, and that gives you a numerical seed for the prng to use

[chilly hull]

ya i know but i was asking on what to put there

[placid star]

does anyone know when G.hand.config.temp_limit resets to G.hand.config.card_limit

[chilly hull]

and that string should be the runs' seed?

[chrome widget]

No, it's just whatever you want that's a unique string for the pseudorandom call

Each joker in vanilla usually passes in an abbreviated form of that joker's name

[chilly hull]

how does the seed affect the random chance then?

[chrome widget]

Wdym?

[chilly hull]

how does the seed affect the output of a probability since its not the same with every seed

[chrome widget]

The purpose of unique seeds is so that the pseudorandom calculations of individual rolls don't affect each other

The way a psuedorandom number generator works is taking a starting numerical seed, performing some mathematical calculation on it that appears random, and then spitting out a new number. That new number "advances" the seed one place

And the game tracks a table of the current seed value for each unique seed used

If two rolls use the same seed, it means that one roll advances the seed position of the other, which the game avoids doing to make it harder to scum random rolls

(You can't get a different judgement result by opening a booster pack, for example)

[chrome widget]

(With an asterisk, most modern computer systems do actually have access to "true" random calculations. It usually involves getting information about things like atmospheric noise or the value of electric currents, which might be deterministic at some level beyond what quantum physics can predict, but for computing purposes are random)

[sage crater]

according to steammodded docs, LocalThunk likes putting the joker's name as a string as the seed

[red flower]

seeds in vanilla are usually the name of what's triggering the effect + the ante number

[zealous glen]

Not always the ante number

Sometimes just a suffix

[red flower]

yeah

[zealous glen]

Though there’s a few Ante numbers sometimes

I think mainly for shuffling

[chrome widget]

anyway, this is the function I use to create the aura effect. These values are just set to tell the shader to do something

--- @param stand Card Balatro card table representing a stand
--- @param delay_time number length of flare in seconds
G.FUNCS.csau_flare_stand_aura = function(stand, delay_time)
    if not stand.children.stand_aura then
        return
    end
    
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        blocking = false,
        func = function()
            stand.ability.aura_flare_queued = true
            stand.ability.aura_flare_target = (delay_time or 1) / 2
            return true
        end 
    }))
end```

but I still haven't figured out how to correctly delay this event to wait until exactly the individual card effect I want to play it on

[zealous glen]

Have you tried putting the effect in func

[sage crater]

usually, random number generators pick a long string of numbers for their seed, and usually it's tied to something that can't be repeated (a really simple example is your computer's unix timestamp)
putting in a seed basically tells the random code "I want you to use this string of numbers instead of whatever you were going to pick".
And forcing a seed means it will always pick the exact same thing every single time in the same order, regardless of any factors. That being said, any seeded randomness inside of a joker will still be affected by the randomness of the run's seed. So there's kinda two layers to this "seeded randomness"

[chilly hull]

ah i see

thank yoy

[chrome widget]

Yeah. For whatever reason, it plays it as a separate "juice" after the stand effect goes off

[zealous glen]

What if you put the mult inside extra

[chrome widget]

Hmm... haven't tried that

That's the effect of the func argument

Still testing putting the mult later

AYYY that works

thanks Victin!!

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/ice-age-sid-i-am-a-genius-im-a-genius-genius-gif-23906122

[chrome widget]

I have no idea why the opposite doesn't work, I guess the events typically used for the card text are probably unblockable

[zealous glen]

Yeah

Wait

No

The other way around

Events are usually blocking and blockable

Otherwise they’d all happen at the same time

[chrome widget]

Oh, hm

[zealous glen]

Yours isn’t blocking

So putting it first makes it happen simultaneously with the next one

And nesting with extra ensures the mult is triggered after

I have some messy talking Jokers because idk how to make the text not interrupt or not be interrupted by scoring but also not get on top of each other

So it’s just somewhat awkward right now

[placid star]

does anyone know if consumables can have an update funcyion?

[zealous glen]

-# why do people keep using update

[placid star]

WELL ITS REUSABLE AND IT BECOMES USABLE AGAIN ON START OF A NEW BLIND

[zealous glen]

But why use update for that 😭

[red flower]

can't you use can_use for that

[placid star]

oh shit

yeah that sounds alot smarter

but can_use cant use context can it?

[unkempt thicket]

How do you increase the weight of a joker in shop?

[faint yacht]

You could set a "used" flag in use and use calculate for the applicable context to set the "used" flag back to false.

[placid star]

yeah i have card.ability.extra.used_this_ante but i didnt know consumables could have calculate functions...

[red flower]

give it a custom rarity
else there's no way other than implementing your own rarity system (like i do in my mod :3)

[placid star]

the self promo is crazyyyyy

[unkempt thicket]

Hmmm, i wanted to edit other jokers weights...

[red flower]

a hacky way is to give them in_pool functions that have a pseudorandom chance but i feel like that might have problems

[gentle rain]

buh

[placid star]

you could take ownership of jokers and give them a custom rarity, or take ownership of a rarity and change its default_weight

[unkempt thicket]

Is there a way to get a jokers rate? if there is i could have x chance to replace cards in shop with those jokers

[unkempt thicket]

I want it to change the rates in a different way

[placid star]

well common has a rate of 0.70, uncommon is 0.25 and rare is 0.95

[faint yacht]

Initialize the roid_card first.

local ret = igo(self)
ret.current_round.roid_card = {}
ret.current_round.roid_card.rank = 7
...

[zealous glen]

You can try to capture the function that creates a card to replace the card it’s creating

I did that for Cow

[glad osprey]

im working on a rougelite mod and i need help figuring out what the hell i should do at this point
what needs to be done is a menu for configuring your upgrades (ill figure that one out on my own)
and saving what upgrades you have unlocked and selected

that second one is what i need help with

[placid star]

what is the code to delay a line of code for like half a second?

[glad osprey]

delay = time in seconds inside an event

[placid star]

ah okay

[quartz ravine]

Is this too strong? It's basically like card sharp but it applies for every card in the played hand

I am wondering if it should be rare instead

[faint yacht]

"Scoring cards give X2 Mult" would be the better wording.

[quartz ravine]

words is hard, thank you!

I made it so it will read the state of To Do list, if you have one and respect that hand, otherwise it will handle duty of settin the todo variable

[gentle rain]

i heard abt a program that turns all text in a file into localization files, does any1 have that on hand?

[placid star]

is there one for outside of an event?

[glad osprey]

no

[quartz ravine]

Question - my booster packs appear and have the right cards, but they all say 'error'. What's the fix for this?

[zealous glen]

@red flower it’s GorgeousPing

[faint yacht]

Localization didn't find the right entry.

[red flower]

where's yusei fudo

[quartz ravine]

Gorgeous Ping? Sorry I don't get it!

[quartz ravine]

I'm watching the shwo and playing the game with the kids, we've only seen part way through the first series so far. Yusei was cool in the movie though!

[red flower]

i think it's a pun on joyousspring

[zealous glen]

gorjus

[quartz ravine]

I have a Yugi jonkler and an Eldlich, but otherwise its all animals in my mod. Had to add Yugi and Eldlich for the kids

Now I get the joke 🙂

[zealous glen]

Furry Yugi when

[red flower]

i liked the moogle guy

[quartz ravine]

No! I changed the name from Pawlatro, everyone thought it was going to be furry. Mine are all cute animals

[zealous glen]

Would Yugi have a Kuribohsona

[red flower]

i need to go back to the final fantasies

[zealous glen]

Play Mario Hoops 3 on 3

[quartz ravine]

Thanks! he picks a random hand, and if you play that hand he has a random chance to enhant the cards in the hand. A play on his little dances in ff6

[red flower]

i did actually

[zealous glen]

Thanks for the shout @old cairn

[placid star]

how can i make my consumable draw your full hand to deck then change your hand size back to the original, this is what i have

[quartz ravine]

My Yugi swaps back and forth between kid and adult yugi. You have to play the right hand to show you believe in the heart of the cards! It was cool to get the different joker sprites working

[faint yacht]

You could just "force-draw" instead of increasing hand size.

[placid star]

is there doc on how to forcedraw?

[faint yacht]

G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand(amount) is responsible for the drawing.

[quartz ravine]

@red flower I love the booster packs, I didn't notice them before!

[red flower]

@hushed field drew them

[zealous glen]

Ice stays winning

[quartz ravine]

look in the source, at state_events.lua line : 363. You will see how card drawing is handled there and I think it will inspire you

[placid star]

ah okay ty!!

wait insire??

[quartz ravine]

I read an article with localThunk, talking about his ideas for long term official modding support. It would be so cool if my mobile only friends could play some of these awesome mods.

[red flower]

official lovely patches when

[quartz ravine]

I had to do some patching to get the public to_do_list var added, like the ancient joker var

[rare obsidian]

hey, so Im really bad at coding lol

can someone help me make this work?

[faint yacht]

Drop the code screenshot first.
-# Then wait for if someone picks up.

[rare obsidian]

its too much for a screenshot

[quartz ravine]

Welcome to the club

[rare obsidian]

thats the broken code

[quartz ravine]

whats the error?

[rare obsidian]

so much lol

1 sec

[hardy quail]

is there any way to easily change the names of spades hearts clubs and diamonds in game for when making custom cards and you want to change what the suits are?

[rare obsidian]

refactor maybe?

[hardy quail]

what is that?

[rare obsidian]

basically cntrl+f

[hardy quail]

ctrl+f in what? the games code?

[rare obsidian]

ig so that might work

[hardy quail]

huh

interesting

[faint yacht]

Show the code around line 13 in the mod.lua?

[wintry solar]

should be SMODS.load_file

[rare obsidian]

testing

nope :/

now it just insta crashes

any advice?

[placid star]

do you guys know the default weight for existing booster packs?

[faint yacht]

assert(SMODS.load_file("effects.lua", "scribbled_edition"))() ?

[heady siren]

Using my consumeable in my booster pack is taken as selecting a card in the booster pack (this is not intended behavior)

This is my code for using, and for my booster pack, I don't know why this is happening

[rapid stag]

how use SMODS.signed_dollar()? :clueless:

[placid star]

does anyone know why my booster doesnt work?

[scarlet thorn]

set isnt the key, set is what it is (Joker, Tarot etc)

[placid star]

ahh

[scarlet thorn]

replace set with key

[iron haven]

ok U works now.

now I have to make Y.....

[hasty mist]

how in the world did this happen

this is somehow causing issues, code works fine without it, am i missing something here?

[placid star]

this didnt work either...

[placid star]

spectral should be capitalised

[hasty mist]

i wasn't aware it was case sensitive, ty

[placid star]

all of lua is code sens <3

[hasty mist]

why is this animated atlas not working properly, ingame it only shows the first frame

[glad osprey]

are you my long lost twin

[hasty mist]

omg

another ena

[glad osprey]

I am also making a mod with anomalies 😭

[hasty mist]

thats insane

[placid star]

burmp...

[hasty mist]

this anomaly is simply part of an incredibly complicated pathway to obtaining certain jokers

[iron haven]

how do you destroy a card? because I don't want to find the code for it.

[glad osprey]

mine is a custom rarity

[glad osprey]

womp womp

[hasty mist]

but yeah, this for some reason just doesn't work

[placid star]

card:start_dissolve()

[hasty mist]

and yet the exact same setup works for my blind

[glad osprey]

joker?

[hasty mist]

consumable

[glad osprey]

ah

@scarlet thorn break it down for her

[unborn bay]

if this is for a joker or consumable its not gonna work

iirc

[scarlet thorn]

huh

[hasty mist]

how do i make it work for that then

[scarlet thorn]

why was I on tht message

[unborn bay]

manually 😁

[hasty mist]

oh

god

[placid star]

"replace set with key"

[hasty mist]

this is one HUNDRED frames

[scarlet thorn]

yea I said replace, not create another set with the right value

[glad osprey]

you gotta make a custom draw step and stuff

[scarlet thorn]

remove set

[hasty mist]

damn you localthunk

[scarlet thorn]

card:remove()

[hasty mist]

💔

alright how do i do that

[unborn bay]

seeing 2 people with ena pics here sounds like they're talking to themselves

[hasty mist]

LOL

[scarlet thorn]

what are you making an animated sprite

[crisp coral]

animation atlases don't work well with cards

[hasty mist]

a consumable

[scarlet thorn]

they dont at all, the center needs to use AnimatedSprite() but it uses Sprite()

[glad osprey]

I mean we are different sides of her so

[hasty mist]

true

[scarlet thorn]

You have 2 choices, make the center use a different class for the sprite (alot of effort), or change the .pos.x or .pos.y values in the Update function

no need for custom draw steps like squid said

also, there is a mod that makes alot of things animated

maybe it has code you can look at

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1249486500811378718

[hasty mist]

i was gonna try looking at jimball code in cryptid

[scarlet thorn]

Jimball metho is how I do my animations

[iron haven]

hmmm

[hasty mist]

i'm not sure where it's actually handling the animation in the code

[iron haven]

line 924.....

[scarlet thorn]

search for cry_jimball_dt

or cry_pointer_dt

[hasty mist]

which lua file is it actually in

[scarlet thorn]

github and vscode search will tell you

[scarlet thorn]

discord doesnt add line numbers, which joker is that

[iron haven]

Y.

[scarlet thorn]

??

because you sent a full file

[iron haven]

for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
scoring_hand is not always defined

[iron haven]

for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do

this line

[scarlet thorn]

see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[iron haven]

oh it isn't?

[scarlet thorn]

No. Only a handfull of values are passed each time. look at the link i sent to see them

[iron haven]

how am I going to fix it?

[hasty mist]

this is really complicated

[scarlet thorn]

make the sure the value is actually a thing with an if statement, and read the link i sent

[hasty mist]

im pretty sure this is where its handled but i dont know how to read this code

or how to translate it to my own usecase

[iron haven]

so I have to make an if statement before the for loop?

[scarlet thorn]

dt is time since last change, pos is the location on the atlas that the texture is

if its been 0.1 since last change, run the code in the 2nd if statement

the reason for the if elseif elseif, is because jimball uses several lines for its animation

[hasty mist]

im using 10 lines and 10 collums

so 100 frames in total

[faint yacht]

That... is a lot of frames.

[hasty mist]

yeah i wasnt even sure if id be able to load it in

but its for quite the special card in my mod so

[iron haven]

do I?

[hasty mist]

i was really hoping id be able to make this work

[scarlet thorn]

you can use modulo to increase the y value

Do you mind if I dm you riley?

[hasty mist]

i wish there was just a lib i could use to automate this or something this is way beyond my skill level

go ahead!

[faint yacht]

...what about all frames spaced out horizontally instead?

[hasty mist]

wdym

[faint yacht]

One line, 100 frames.

[hasty mist]

that could work

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/ef3fe636a7330c2782668c80aec0a7464873c50e/items/joker.lua#L1518-L1521 This is what I use for my "Joker Update" joker to mimic how the pre-2000 Windows Update logo was animated.

Before the Joker definition, Line 1489 also has the "frames" by the x position.

[iron haven]

I played 5 2's and Y disappeared.

I want it to remove the 2's not remove the joker.

how do I fix that?

card:remove()

I have to change this.

[sonic cedar]

Does anyone know how to setup a path in load_file?
One of my lua files is in a folder, and I want to load it from the main file

Here's my setup

[iron haven]

hm

[faint yacht]

context.other_card?

[iron haven]

?

[heady siren]

Replace card with context.other_card

[topaz tiger]

just started making my fist mod what is s_mult and s_chips it it the mult of that hand at lvl1?

[iron haven]

card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 3

do I have to change this too?

[heady siren]

I'm gonna bump this because it's a big issue for my consumeables

[heady siren]

No because the variable is connected to your joker not the card you're removing

[iron haven]

ok

context.other_card:remove()

code for Y fyi.

[placid star]

can anyone help me no know why my booster doesnt work... crashes on open

[iron haven]

what's domain?

[placid star]

a custom consumable type

[iron haven]

ok?

[placid star]

mf u asked

[brisk rose]

I don't think that's how create_card works

[iron haven]

I'm wondering how to fix this.

[faint yacht]

SMODS.create_card, maybe?

[hasty mist]

what is the card area for consumables called

[placid star]

G.domain

[heady siren]

We assumed you were using context.individual, not context.before, that's why you should show all of your code, use context.scoring_hand[i] like you are for the get_id, and message = 'Upgrade!' doesn't work outside of a return, use card_eval_status_text instead, which is structured like this:
card_eval_status_text(context.scoring_hand[i], 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = 'Upgrade!'})

[placid star]

ah i got it working ty

[brisk rose]

You can see how it works

[placid star]

i was missing SMODS.create_card

[old cairn]

-# (first time asking for help here, so apologies if i say something dumb lol)
so basically i have a joker that debuffs the joker to it's right (don't ask questions it makes sense trust me) and it does debuff the joker, just doesn't show the "X" icon usually on debuffed cards and i can't figure out why
i'm pretty sure i used the right contexts but tbh i have no clue

[brisk rose]

Another one that hates their own retinas I see

[hasty mist]

why isn't the use button being highlighted here?

[old cairn]

i didnt know notepad ++ had a dark mode ☹️

[iron haven]

now Y doesn't give you mult.

[heady siren]

Code

[iron haven]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'yankee',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Y',
        text = {

            mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            card = card
        }
        end
    end
end
}```
code!

[heady siren]

You don't need context.cardarea == G.jokers, it only runs in G.jokers

[hasty mist]

bump, the intended effect here is to apply an edition to a selected consumable

[iron haven]

ok.

[heady siren]

Try removing the if part of the condition and pull the else stuff out of the condition to see what that does

[hasty mist]

huh

i mean if i have most of it like this, were everything says "hand.highlighted" instead of "domain.highlighted" it works, but it only applies the edition if i have a playing card selected

i assumed i could just replace all instances of hand with domain but that didnt work

[iron haven]

what's wrong with steam....

[placid star]

does SMODS have built in exponential mult?

[hasty mist]

i think talisman does

[iron haven]

it is still uploading.

[placid star]

ah fuck it ill code it myself

[hasty mist]

it's just emult/emult_mod, instead of xmult/xmult_mod

[glass scaffold]

...if that's true, I may have an idea to buff a Joker I made a while ago.

[sonic cedar]

does this not work
this is a joker file, the functions are contained in a center file

[placid star]

how do you have the balatro font...

[iron haven]

Why is cloud status still uploading?

is it Localthunk doing it?

[old cairn]

bump

[placid star]

can a consumable return +mult with a calculate function?

[brisk rose]

Probably? At least you can make it do an equivalent thing, I've seen it

[placid star]

hmm cause this doesnt like to work, but when i had the same code in a joker it worked fine

[brisk rose]

You probably have to do smth hacky

[heady siren]

Use SMODS.debuff_card rather than card.debuff, that handles the effects and the function

It's SMODS.debuff_card(card, true/false or 'reset', string identifier (can be anything))

[placid star]

bruh.

[heady siren]

Check if card.ability.extra.activated is true in a print or something, just to make sure

[heady siren]

Oh, "mult" isn't a defined variable

[placid star]

when i use it elsewhere or eval it in game it returns what the mult currently is...

[heady siren]

Hmmm

[placid star]

and even if that didnt work, it should return a message

[heady siren]

Did you check if it was true inside the final_scoring_step context?

[placid star]

oh shit what could i even use instead of final_scoring_step since it isnt a joker and there is only a hand.chips value during final scoring step

[heady siren]

If you want it to run similarly to an Observatory planet card you could make it joker_main, it'll run after jokers

[old cairn]

so it turns out that all of the calculation is done before anything even actually scores (visually) so it's probably applying the debuff effect and then immediately taking it away
idk how i'd go about fixing this though

[placid star]

oh shit does that really work?
