functions & events a.k.a. how to make OOP not OOP

whats the goal for this joker

[wild escarp]

Destroy the played card if it has a modifier and create two copies.

[keen loom]

ok, i added brackets to the text too, but it's still crashing my game, telling me that my loc_txt isn't closed

[keen totem]

new code?

[keen loom]

    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot'
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows'
        text = {
        'Creates 3 random {V:1}Negative{}'
        '{C:attention}Tarot{} cards.'
        },
    },
}```

oh wait, it says the first bracket isn't closed

[keen totem]

are you doing this in an IDE?

or just in like

notepad

[keen loom]

notepad

[keen totem]

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows',
        text = {
        'Creates 3 random {V:1}Negative{}',
        '{C:attention}Tarot{} cards.'
        },
    },
}

[stark geode]

.

[keen loom]

oh, lol

[keen totem]

return {
                    message_card = context.other_card,
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                    extra = {
                        message_card = context.other_card,
                        message = "Cured!",
                        colour = G.C.BLUE,
                        func = function()
                            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                                blockable = false,
                                func = function()
                                    print("setting to base")
                                    context.other_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, nil, true)
                                    return true
                                end
                            }))
                        end,
                    }
                }

(tried this with the :set_ability being to both context.other_card and another variable that is context.other_card)

why doesnt this set the enhancement to base

[keen loom]

still crashing

[keen totem]

hmm

[stark geode]

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows',
        text = {
        'Creates 3 random {V:1}Negative{}',
        '{C:attention}Tarot{} cards.'
        },
    },
}

[keen totem]

        'Creates 3 random {V:1}Negative{}',
        '{C:attention}Tarot{} cards.'
        },
    },
}

turns out you were missing even more commas

[stark geode]

@keen loom

yeah

there were several commas missing

vs yelled at me

[stoic fulcrum]

this seems to only check if the card exists in the mod, not if i have it in my deck

[keen loom]

oh, so every line break needs a comma

[stark geode]

yes and no

what youre working in is a lua table

each new entry needs a comma

[keen totem]

yuh

and the last doesnt

[wild escarp]

Still can't get this to work properly with hologram.

[keen totem]

but it can

[stark geode]

generally i do

[keen totem]

is the text style tagging the same as vanilla's system

[stark geode]

yeah

[keen totem]

ok

SURELY

{X:mult,C:white} being Xmult

was on purpose

B: wouldve worked fine

[stark geode]

@red flower can you help me with somthing

do you know if i can make a bp die when it copies a joker

[elfin stratus]

im reading trough documentaion (smod and vanillaremade) but i still cant figure out how to destroy a specific rank of cards after they are scored

[stoic fulcrum]

is there an easy way to make a joker check if a specific joker is in your deck?
SMODS.find_card just seems to check if the joker exists in the mod itself, instead of your current deck

[wild escarp]

Use context.destroy_card:get_id() ==

e.g

if context.destroy_card:get_id() == 2 then
    return
    {
        remove = true
    }
end

[elfin stratus]

thanks bill cipher

[keen totem]

why is this not setting the enhancement to base

[nova epoch]

i keep on getting this error when booting up the game, did i fuck somthing up in the code? because it keeps on saying "attempt to indext globsl 'card' [a nil value]"

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'gamexplain',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'GAMEXPLAIN',
        text = {
            'When a King and Jack is in a scored hand,',
            'gain a {C:mult}+#2#{} Mult'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { mult = 6.9 } },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.othercard:get_id() == 13 and context.othercard:get_id() == 11 then
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

[keen totem]

othercard is just a local var that = context.other_card btw

[wild escarp]

card instead of center in loc_vars

[nova epoch]

alr it booted up thanks

[keen totem]

wokrs now

[nova epoch]

alr now i have this error and i think its because it changed 'or' to 'and' from the example i was using

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.othercard:get_id() == 13 and context.othercard:get_id() == 11 then
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

[red flower]

uhhh maybe

if context.blueprint then
    context.bluepring_card:start_dissolve()
end

[stark geode]

i figured it out

thanks tho

[nova epoch]

oh fuck im stupid

i forgot the underscore in other_card

ok so now the game loads the card and i can put in into play without crashing

but its not applying the mult

[elfin stratus]

i cant get it to work

im not smart enough

😭

[keen loom]

how do you add the description of "negative" when viewing the card's description?

[red flower]

what's the problem

[elfin stratus]

basically

[red flower]

info_queue

[elfin stratus]

the joker is supposed to destroy queens and kings after being scored

but

im dumb

[red flower]

can i see the code

[elfin stratus]

this is so bad that i dont want to show it

[red flower]

it's just

if context.destroy_card and (context.destroy_card:get_id() == 12 or context.destroy_card:get_id() == 13) then
     return { remove = true }
end

[elfin stratus]

ohhhh

now i see what i did wrong

thanks

i got (context.destroy_card:get_id() == 12 or context.destroy_card:get_id() == 13) this part wrong

probably due to my non existent lua skills

[lyric blade]

Ok guys uhm I'm using score_card() to score a card in Balatro (I have no other way), but it ignores all jokers, it just scores the card without the joker abilities. How do I calculate the jokers?
Is it just something like calculate_joker()?

[keen loom]

so... like this?

    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows',
        text = {
        'Creates 3 random {C:dark_edition}Negative{}',
        '{C:tarot}Tarot{} cards.'
        },
    },
    atlas = 'smtarot',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card),
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_dark_edition,
}```

[red flower]

G.P_CENTERS.e_negative

[keen totem]

can you put regular code inside of the func of a return

[red flower]

but also thats not the correct formatting

[red flower]

wdym

[keen totem]

basically

after being cured

viruses can infect again

[red flower]

yes it's just going to be run at the same time as the previous stuff

[keen totem]

so can i put it in an event to wait?

[red flower]

yeah

[keen totem]

ok

time to try that

[lyric blade]

How do I take joker abilities in consideration when using score_card()?

[red flower]

i dont think it's that easy

what are you trying to do?

[red flower]

let's goo

[keen totem]

what the hell have i done

[lyric blade]

Well it is a joker that retriggers a lucky card until it triggers (Gives Mult or Money)
I wish I could use return repetitions but I can't, because that way I can't know if the retrigger was lucky this time or not (When I use context.repetition, because it doesn't go through it twice)

While not context.lucky_trigger (or something like that) is unusable as well because it would only base around the context of the first scoring of the card (Which means it's an infinite loop)

[keen totem]

is that a legendary

it better be

[lyric blade]

No, it's uncommon, because the lucky cards have a 50% chance to be destroyed after that

[keen totem]

ah

fair enough

[lyric blade]

So practically a glass cannon, but it's not glass lol

[keen totem]

glass cards are also glass cannons

[lyric blade]

I have heard that one way to do it is to somehow copy the seed and then predict when the next lucky trigger will be, and then do the return repetitions based on the number of retriggers required but that's way too complicated for me and I think there's an easier way, which I found, with score_card()

[nova epoch]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 13 or context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

alright so ive gotten the card effect to work but it only applies when its '...== 13 or context... ' but i want it to trigger specifically when its both a king and jack. is there any way to make it like that or am i just stuck here

[red flower]

I would hook/patch into SMODS.calculate_repetitions

[lyric blade]

Just use and instead of or?

[nova epoch]

i tried

i never gave the mult

[daring fern]

A card cannot be 2 ranks at the same time?

[nova epoch]

so i assume it has to be or

[lyric blade]

But he wants a card to be 2 ranks at the same time no?

Or do I miss something?

[red flower]

you want it to give mult once if both are played OR do you watch each card to give mult when both are played?

[nova epoch]

the forbidden jing

[nova epoch]

i want it to give mult once both are played

not individually

[lyric blade]

Ah ok nvm

[nova epoch]

i did try other contexts

[red flower]

use joker_main and loop through context.scoring_hand

[lyric blade]

Oooh sounds like something interesting I've never heard of, thanks!

[nova epoch]

ill go do that rq

[keen loom]

my text isn't shrinking

        'Creates 3 random',
        '{C:dark_edition}Negative{} {C:tarot}Tarot{}',
        'cards.',
        '{s:0.8}{C:tarot}Carnival of Shadows{} excluded{}'
        }```

[red flower]

{s:0.8,C:tarot}

[wild escarp]

bump

[nova epoch]

sorry im a bit lost, im looking at the wiki and i dont see a context for scoring hand. would it be in the line with Joker_main or under it?

[red flower]

can u screenshot this for me so i can see it well on mobile pls :3

[wild escarp]

Yes

[keen loom]

the tarot color is applying to "excluded" word too

[red flower]

Example: https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/6bb8d3df89a1b2af17280ba8b52a902729d66f58/src/jokers.lua#L1556

[tight notch]

what's the difference between the before and after sections?

[nova epoch]

ok i thought that was what you were referring to cause it kept on popping up there when i was looking

[red flower]

one applies before everything in update and the other one after

[tight notch]

alr

[keen loom]

ok, now "excluded" seems to appear in normal size instead of small

nvm, i think i got it

[red flower]

for the after scoring part just move the calculate_context call outside the event i think
i don't understand the other problem

[keen totem]

looks like a name soundalike

[nova epoch]

ok going off the example you gave me it should look something like this right?

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
     if context.joker_main then
         for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
             if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 13 

[red flower]

yes, you probably want to set a flag when you find one of them and a flag for the other

[nova epoch]

right

[wild escarp]

That's helped with the scoring, but now the other issue persists. The hologram shows x2.75, x3, x3.25, etc, instead of just showing the final number, I'll get a recording if that helps.

[red flower]

oh then you can save all the cards to a list and then call the calculate_context function with all the cards in one list

[keen loom]

i'm reading the documentation, and i can't figure out what lines to add to make the tarot card spawn cards

[red flower]

playing cards?

[wind steppe]

what do yall think a madeline (food) would do as a balatro joker? i cant think of any ideas but i have to have one for consistency

[keen loom]

it's tarot card that spawns 3 random negative tarots (excluding itself)

[red flower]

oh

SMODS.add_card{set="Tarot", edition="e_negative"} 3 times

excluding itself is kinda hard tho

[keen loom]

i don't want to make it spawn itself for obvious reasons

[wind steppe]

its funny if it spawns itself though

infinite tarots

[tight notch]

since what i'm trying to do is make all shop jokers have an edition, would i pick before or after?

[red flower]

you would probably have to grab all the tarots from G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Tarot except yours and use pseudorandom_element on that

[daring fern]

Either is fine.

[red flower]

I would patch create_card_for_shop instead honestly

it's easier

[nova epoch]

ok so would something like this work? (sorry if its scuffed as fuck im new to coding as a whole)

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 13 or context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 11 then
                 if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 11 or context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 13 then
                    return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                    }

i did the ...or... statement again bc i remembered earlier you guys said that the game was looking for a card that was both a king and jack when i had it set to 'and'

[red flower]

no

[nova epoch]

i figured

[tight notch]

i tried but it was too complicated and no one could really give me any definitive help

[wild escarp]

Isn't that already what I'm doing? adding the cards to new_cards and then using that in the calculate_context?

[red flower]

oh you don't even need to patch

local ccfs = create_card_for_shop
function create_card_for_shop(area)
    local card = ccfs(area)
    if next(SMODS.find_card("your joker key) and card.ability.set == "Joker" then
        card:set_edition(...) -- put the edition or poll_edition here
    end
    return card
end

[tawdry shale]

lineup so far

[wind steppe]

lancer mentioned

[red flower]

no you're doing it once for each card in scoring_hand that has the requirements
also you should probably do cards = new_cards directly

[keen loom]

man, i hate that the documentation is kinda vague

[uncut cloud]

i agree there

[red flower]

local king = false
local jack = false
for _, pcard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
    if pcard:get_id() == 13 then king = true end
    if pcard:get_id() == 11 then jack = true end
end
if king and jack then return { mult = 10 } end

[keen loom]

i am reading it several times and can't find anything about creating other cards

[tawdry shale]

he's the goat

[red flower]

it's in utility functions

[keen totem]

what does lancer deltarune do

[uncut cloud]

found it

[keen loom]

ok, but it's still pretty vague about the formatting here

[uncut cloud]

yeah

i usually just search examples of it in the discord if im doubting smthn im not gonna lie

[red flower]

what's the vague part

[tawdry shale]

every scored card's suit turns into spade

[uncut cloud]

peak

[tawdry shale]

there's a card for that for every suit

only four

so

[nova epoch]

alright so should this work?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
                local king = false
                local jack = false
                for _, pcard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                    if pcard:get_id() == 13 then king = true end
                    if pcard:get_id() == 13 then king = true end
                end
                if king and jack then return {mult = 10 } end
            end
        end
    end
}

(im gonna assume i replace the mult = 10 with the value i want)

[red flower]

take out the for i = 1, #context... loop

[keen loom]

like... where to put it. does it goes inside or outside SMODS.Consumable?

[red flower]

i replaced it with ipairs

[midnight coyote]

how do i iterate over each card in a played hand

[red flower]

ok that's not it being vague, that's a problem with you understanding how a function works

[nova epoch]

ah thanks

[red flower]

like I'm sorry I agree that the docs have problems but a lot of times I wish people would just admit they don't know what the terms mean instead of saying that the docs are wrong or that they're bad

[rough furnace]

👀

[nova epoch]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'gamexplain',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'GAMEXPLAIN',
        text = {
            'When a {C:attention}King and Jack{} is in a scored hand,',
            'gain a {C:mult}+#2#{} Mult'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { mult = 6.9 } },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local king = false
            local jack = false
            for _, pcard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if pcard:get_id() == 13 then king = true end
                if pcard:get_id() == 13 then king = true end
            end
            if king and jack then return { mult = 10 } end
        end
    end
}

alr if everything here is correct then im gonna test it rq

[rough furnace]

(you all should test it and find bugs)

[red flower]

this is amazing

[wild escarp]

Sorry, but I just do not understand what I should be doing.

[red flower]

you have a king check twice

[nova epoch]

i may be stupid

thanks for that call out lol

it worked!

thanks alot

[red flower]

hmm you kinda have to change multiple things
but the problem is that you're calling calculate_context multiple times so hologram scales in increments, you need to compile all the cards you create in a list and call it then, you're kinda doing that but you have an outer loop that you're not accounting for

sorry i would mock up the code if i was on my pc lol

[nova epoch]

all i gotta do now is fix the nil on the tooltip

[oblique pond]

switch #2# with #1# in the desc to fix that

[nova epoch]

oh

wonder why the example i used has a 2 instead

[oblique pond]

it's currently looking for the 2nd thing in loc_vars to put there, but nothings there, so it gives you nil

[nova epoch]

ah

thanks

        if context.other_joker.ability.name == 'testfire' then
            bonus = bonus + card.ability.extra.money+6
          else
            bonus = bonus + card.ability.extra.money
        end
        if bonus > 0 then return bonus end
    
    end
}```

is there something wrong with how i'm checking for the specific joker? (in this case "testfire")
when i write it like this, it crashes saying that context is a nil value

[sturdy compass]

You don't use context checks in add_to_deck/remove_from_deck

[stoic fulcrum]

how do i do the additional check to change the base values, then?

[wind steppe]

not relevant to the question but loc_vars is only returning 3 values not 9

[sturdy compass]

You don't need to check for the joker name

[stoic fulcrum]

the idea is that "bruhiosr" gives +1 hand size and $3 at the end of round on its own, but with "testfire" in your deck it gives +2 hand size and $9 at the end of round

[stoic fulcrum]

i've tried other ways to check for the specific joker, but they either also crash or don't detect the joker at all

[sturdy compass]

Then you'd use SMODS.find_card()

you specify a string in that call that is the joker's key (being 'j_[MOD PREFIX]_[JOKER NAME]')

[stoic fulcrum]

this didn't work, but maybe it was because i tried to use it on add_to_deck/remove_from_deck?

[sturdy compass]

It should work

[stoic fulcrum]

it applied the bonus effect without the second joker being in my deck

[sturdy compass]

That's because that function returns an array of cards matching that type, and since it's an array it will always be true

You should wrap the function call in a next() wrapper, which checks if the array has contents or not and returns a boolean accordingly

[keen loom]

yeah, i just can't figure out this thing, man:

    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows',
        text = {
        'Creates 3 random',
        '{C:dark_edition}Negative{} {C:tarot}Tarot{} cards.',
        '{s:0.8,C:tarot}Carnival of Shadows{}{s:0.8} excluded{}'
        },
    },
    atlas = 'smtarot',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative
    end
    for i = 0, 2 do
        SMODS.add_card{set="Tarot", edition="e_negative"}
    end
}```

i'm likely doing something really wrong here

[sturdy compass]

Yes you are

you do not have a calculate function defined

[stoic fulcrum]

back to this question. how would i change the hand size without creating a "if" argument inside add/remove from deck?

[sturdy compass]

You'd do exactly what you're doing inside the if. Unlike vanilla where the game checks for a card's type on calculate, SMODs card objects work on a per-object basis and thus don't need a check like that

[keen loom]

i was not using that because the doc didn't mention anything about triggering when you use a consumable

[sturdy compass]

Oh it's a consumable whoops

In your case you would define a use function then

[keen loom]

is it formatted like how calculate is used?

[sturdy compass]

Another thing I just noticed: Lua indexes at 1 and not 0

[wind steppe]

more approachable for people that know less coding but god i hate it

how do i do ^chips with talisman?

[sturdy compass]

Similarly but not exactly. It looks like this:
use = function(self, card, area, copier)

[keen loom]

yeah, that's what was confusing me, because in the doc's consumables page, it is written as use(self, card, area, copier)

[sturdy compass]

You'll also need a can_use function which returns a boolean
can_use = function(self, card)

[sturdy compass]

It's written like that to be a bit more legible but I get the confusion. Any sort of function documentation will be written in that sort of name = function(args) format in-code

[daring fern]

You return {echips = number}

[keen loom]

yeah, i think i still don't get it

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
    if can_use
        for i = 1, 3 do
            SMODS.add_card{set="Tarot", edition="e_negative"}
        end```

[wind steppe]

how would i return two messages on one joker?

[red flower]

return {
    message = "msg",
    extra = {
        message = "msg2"
    }
}

[mystic river]

funcName = function(args)
 --whatever
end

is the same as

function funcName(args)
 --whatever
end

docs like this are sort of leaning on the second one to keep it short

-# i might have something slightly off there cause I'm typing this from memory on a phone but the basic idea is that functions have two formats

[midnight coyote]

if im applying custom music during a boss blind, how do i make it turn back off afterwards

[prime stone]

Is there a way to prevent playing cards from giving chips? I was gonna use card.debuff but im not really happy with that solution.

I guess really the question is should I be using :take_ownership

[upbeat bronze]

does anyone have the keybinds for debug+?

they seemingly got rid of the ingame menu showing all the usable keybinds

cryptid does that with jimball

oh alright

still confused

[sturdy compass]

You'd prolly need a patch for that. The function that provides the chips is Card:get_chip_bonus() in card.lua

[wind steppe]

you could hook it instead

[sturdy compass]

That's probably better

idk why but I'm like hardwired to consider patches faster than hooks and it's a problem 😭

[wind steppe]

i mean ive never used a patch so we're both biased

um... i don't think it was supposed to be an endless, loop, lol

[sturdy compass]

What does your file structure in your assets folder look like?

[sturdy compass]

rename jokersLarge to just jokers and remove your atlas pointing to jokersLarge

[prime stone]

is there anywhere I can readup on patches and hooks

OH

i see how the game does it

cryptid checks IN the sound

it checs for the joker

i managed to get it to detect when the second joker is in hand, but it doesn't seem to detect when it gets *removed* from the deck (to reset the bonus back to normal). and for some reason, the bonus for adding hand size doesn't work, just the -2 hands from selling the joker while the second joker is active

it basically gives a permanent bonus instead of a conditional one (and it doesn't add extra hand size because ????????)

[sturdy compass]

Ah you're not asserting the file load call

[vestal yew]

i also have this in my localization file

[sturdy compass]

Your SMODS.load_file call should look like this
assert(SMODS.load_file('path'))()

anyone have any idea why my game refuses to show scoring animations now even though i have the setting disabled in talisman?

reset game

reinstall talisman

[upbeat bronze]

alright

[sturdy compass]

I think your loop definition should just be for i = 1, 3 do

[upbeat bronze]

still disables scoring animations

[keen loom]

i did that, the infinite spawn is still happening

[wind steppe]

if you reinstall it you have to turn it off again btw

[upbeat bronze]

i did

[wind steppe]

idk then

talisman is a mess

[upbeat bronze]

or do you mean like

uninstall, open without talisman, close, reinstall, then try it?

is that what you mean?

[wind steppe]

no that shouldnt make a difference

may as well try it though

how do you add those side things

[midnight coyote]

info_queue

[limber obsidian]

Yo, uh... how? How do i even make mods o-o

[sturdy compass]

Your calculate is very messed up. The way you have it now is every time a context is called, if you have the other joker, the values of this joker change. You don't have any checks to reset it if the other joker gets removed

[rustic swallow]

anyone know why this is giving this error?

[stoic fulcrum]

yeah i'm well aware, lol. i don't really know how to complete the function properly
i tried doing this, but all it seems to accomplish is that the bonus effect isn't triggered unless the second joker is already in my deck

        if next( SMODS.find_card("j_bruh_bruhiosr") ) then
            card.ability.extra.h_size = card.ability.extra.h_sizetest
            card.ability.extra.dollars = card.ability.extra.dollarstest
        end
        if not next( SMODS.find_card("j_bruh_bruhiosr") ) then
            card.ability.extra.h_sizetest = card.ability.extra.h_size
            card.ability.extra.dollarstest = card.ability.extra.dollars
        end
    end,```

[sturdy compass]

your not conditional wouldn't do anything because you're just changing the modifier variables into whatever your main variables are

Dynamically changing hand size with presence of a second joker the way you want I can see getting hairy very quickly

I'm not necessarily saying it can't be done, it just won't be fun

[keen totem]

do tarots that change an enhancement have the infoqueue of said enhancement?

[sturdy compass]

They should

[manic rune]

if you coded it to do so, then yes

and i would suggest doing the same for clarity

[keen totem]

i mean base game

[manic rune]

yes

[stoic fulcrum]

specific synergies within vanilla confines is what i'm trying to go for, if that's not for you then that's ok lol
it still doesn't really explain why the modifier variable is only affecting the decreasing hand size and not the increasing one, let alone how i'd get a conditional to actually work

[unborn bay]

ok so where exactly do you want this to happen

setting a blind?

playing a hand?

[stoic fulcrum]

as soon as the second joker is bought

and removed when sold

[sturdy compass]

I'm not saying fun gameplay-wise, I meant fun "actually making it work"-wise LOL

[stoic fulcrum]

ah lmao
i mean i've been at this for 6 hours i can already feel it

[sturdy compass]

Oof understandable

[unborn bay]

use context.card_added

for checking if a joker is added

[wind steppe]

is this balanced

[sturdy compass]

I was gonna suggest this, but I don't think there's a context for removing one (outside of selling)

[unborn bay]

yeah you'll probably have to hook onto card:remove

[plain apex]

true my coding is very bad but it works sometimes

[unborn bay]

or just make the joker thats required for that check for it on their side instead

[stoic fulcrum]

also holy shit haya i just realized that's you

[tawdry shale]

working on a joker that gives x.1 mult if hand is the same as the last played hand but it doesn't seem to be working bc it always goes to "if context.scoring_name ~= G.last_hand_played"

[wind steppe]

i gave up trying to open booster packs directly

its through a tag now anyways

[manic rune]

have you checked if G.last_hand_played is only the name of the played hand?

[tight notch]

attempting to make a joker that gains xmult when a holo card/joker triggers, but so far it's not working. it just refuses to gain the xmult

[sturdy compass]

G.last_hand_played is a little deceptive in the sense that I believe that gets set at the beginning of a hand being played (rather than at the end). I'd recommend storing the hand in your card as opposed to relying on that and base your scoring off of that

[plain apex]

anyway hi chat any ideas for my shitty fortnite mod

[sturdy compass]

[midnight coyote]

i wonder how i can make a pool for a certain type of joker

i wanna make a group for a very specific, yet small pool

[plain apex]

💀 what would he even do lol

[midnight coyote]

50% chance to say something obscene

[manic rune]

be racist

[tawdry shale]

i might be stupid but wdym by storing the hand in your card

[sturdy compass]

I mean store the hand name as a variable in your card's ability config

[wind steppe]

1 in 2 chance to say something obscene and destroy itself

[tawdry shale]

ohh

[manic rune]

save the hand's name to card.ability.lastPlayedHand for example

[sturdy compass]

I def could've worded that better originally, my bad lol

[timid parrot]

In what context? Vanilla?

[tight notch]

you can add an SMODS.ObjectType in your main.lua and then add it into the pools paramater of your jokers

[wind steppe]

ideally yeah

[keen loom]

ok, i can't figure out a way to make the tarot card not spawn itself, so i might add a condition to spawn 1 tarot when it's negative

[wind steppe]

maybe a little stronger than vanilla but for the most part i want to keep vanilla balance

[midnight coyote]

wh

[timid parrot]

I don’t think exponential mult will ever be “balanced” in the context of vanilla

[midnight coyote]

oh i see

[wind steppe]

fair enough

rate the balance from 1 to 10 where 1 is "worse than jens almanac" and 10 is "vanilla"

[timid parrot]

Exponential mult multiplies your es

[tight notch]

add something similar to the first image in your main lua file and then you can add it to the pools section

[plain apex]

would there even be like any benefit to having him? besides he destroys himself if he says something obscene lol

[wind steppe]

he increases investor value by being ai

(translation: temperance value)

[sturdy compass]

He AI's all over the place

[tight notch]

off topic but is your pfp two time

[keen loom]

how do i add a condition for when the self card is negative?

[timid parrot]

Haven’t played Jen’s, tho it’s probably closer to vanilla. It’s just hard to rate because the nature of exponential mult is it can break endless

[tawdry shale]

updated but now i'm getting this error (i'm trying to make a joker that gains x.1 mult if the current hand is the same as the previous hand)

[wind steppe]

it is also a food joker though so its probably not an endless staple

[manic rune]

use context.post_trigger instead of context.other_joker

[midnight coyote]

yes!

its a two time joker

that i made

for my mod

[manic rune]

download Lua extension

[midnight coyote]

cough

[tight notch]

sry when i see someone in a fandom i'm in my 2 braincells start cheering

[midnight coyote]

no its ok

[manic rune]

relatable

[timid parrot]

Yeah it’s a food joker, but anything that can dupe it or copy it will exponentially increase your exponent

[wind steppe]

real

[midnight coyote]

you may like my mod when it releases then 😭

whats a roblox

[wind steppe]

how would i fix the playing cards issue then

[manic rune]

dunno about that, theres no context about playing cards being triggered afaik

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play probably works tho?

[plain apex]

[wind steppe]

very small intersection of fandoms

[midnight coyote]

so when i SMODS.add_card() do i say 'set = "charcuterie_mafia"'

[tight notch]

i have another joker that does the same thing but it's foil instead of holo, and instead of gaining xmult it gives you $1

[manic rune]

oh, but also

[tight notch]

the prefix isn't needed

[midnight coyote]

okie

[tawdry shale]

forgot to explain the joker but i'm trying to make a joker that gains x.1 mult if the current hand is the same as the previous hand

[manic rune]

i would probably check editions by using edition.key == "e_holo" instead

[wind steppe]

antiobelisk

[manic rune]

-# i find keys more reliable personally

[tawdry shale]

whar

[plain apex]

true but its also like one of the only things im really know enough to make a full balatro mod about lol

[keen loom]

how do i check if the self card is negative or not?

[wind steppe]

obelisk rewards you for playing different hands and this joker rewards you for playing the same ones

[manic rune]

card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_negative"

-# forgot to reply

[timid parrot]

yeah it's a high score engine rather than a permanent thing

so that's the balance side

[tawdry shale]

yeah and it resets if you play a different hand

[wind steppe]

probably dont balance around naneinf runs then

[timid parrot]

in terms of mechanics, there's too many numbers and I had to reread the thing 3 times to understand it

[wind steppe]

baron is balanced in the context of ante 8

[timid parrot]

in the context of ante 8 picking up that food joker wins the next two blinds easy

[wind steppe]

yeah but its rare

[timid parrot]

yeah so what's the point of it exactly?

[wind steppe]

cant just roll for it with 30 bucks to your name

[wind steppe]

idk i was hoping you'd figure that out

i needed to add it for consistency

[timid parrot]

XD you're the designer

[timid parrot]

with what?

[wind steppe]

im adding jokers based around the foods bonnie (from in stars and time) gives you and i may as well commit

[plain apex]

pizza consumable can technically beat naneinf if you get there but it also degrades over time so a perkeo build wouldn't keep you in forever

[timid parrot]

did it need to be designed as a rare?

[wind steppe]

probably not

i dont have other ideas for what a fish head would do though

[timid parrot]

there are no rare food jokers in vanilla because that 5% chance is too low to be worth throwing effectively a consumable in the pool

in an average run, you wouldn't see it until you have a full joker roster

and the version you designed is powerful, yes, but it also burns itself after 2 rounds

true

probably lower the decreases

[timid parrot]

if you want a rare food joker, focus on a unique effect other than scoring that can serve as a slow burn

rather than just boom, high score, oh it's gone already

[strange wasp]

Hi, I am somewhat new to modding and I am starting to learn how to make a joker. I have a couple questions to ask. First off, how do I set the code to scale with chips instead of mult?
What coding software is best when coding with SMODS?

Thank you

[midnight coyote]

SMODS.ObjectType = {
  key = "mafia",
  cards = {
    ["j_charcuterie_made_man"] = true,
    ["j_charcuterie_britalian"] = true,
    ["j_charcuterie_debt_collector"] = true,
    ["j_charcuterie_bunny"] = true,
  }
}```

[manic rune]

1. in return, change mult to chips
2. preferably vsc (visual studio code)

[midnight coyote]

what could i have possibly done wrong

[keen loom]

trying to add a condition where it'll spawn 1 normal tarot if it's negative, but it's crashing

    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'smtarot',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows',
        text = {
        'Creates 3 random',
        '{C:dark_edition}Negative{} {C:tarot}Tarot{} cards.',
        '{s:0.8,C:tarot}Carnival of Shadows{}{s:0.8} excluded{}'
        },
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        for i = 1, j = 3 do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                    if self.edition = "e_negative" then {
                    SMODS.add_card({set = 'Tarot'})
                    j = 3
                    } else {
                    SMODS.add_card({set = 'Tarot',edition="e_negative"})
                    }
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
        delay(0.6)
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return true
    end
}```

[tight notch]

dont put them in cards , use the pools param

[manic rune]

do you not have lua extension installed

[strange wasp]

Okay. I have vsc. But it's underlines smods

[manic rune]

in fact, why do so many people code without it

sob

[midnight coyote]

huh

[strange wasp]

I do have the Lua extension on.

[keen loom]

does notepad++ counts?

[manic rune]

:3

[wind steppe]

no

[keen loom]

anyone know what's causing it to crash?

[strange wasp]

Is there a way to put SMODS into vsc?

[midnight coyote]

how would i do that?

[manic rune]

open the entire mods folder in vsc

[midnight coyote]

i see no documentation

[manic rune]

but also, i wouldnt recommend using uppercase in your keys

for various reasons

-# that i cant remember

[prime stone]

Ok I ended up doing it like this since returning the old function in the hook crashed because it didn't like Self. Is this alright to do lol ```lua
if context.before then
function Card:get_chip_bonus()
return 0
end
end

    if context.after then
        function Card:get_chip_bonus()
            if Card.debuff then return 0 end
            if Card.ability.effect == "Stone Card" then
                return Card.ability.bonus + (Card.ability.perma_bonus or 0)
            end

            return Card.base.nominal + Card.ability.bonus + (Card.ability.perma_bonus or 0)
        end
    end

[manic rune]

please don't do that

[sturdy compass]

What in the world

[prime stone]

gulp!

[midnight coyote]

what the shitting fuck

😨

[sturdy compass]

Also I know how to fix that crash. Along with the regular args in the reference function, you can also just pass in self

[manic rune]

local gcb_ref = Card.get_chip_bonus

function Card:get_chip_bonus()
   if #SMODS.find_card("joker key") then
      return 0
   end
   local ret = gcb_ref(self)
   return ret
end

[prime stone]

Oh this is more sane

[manic rune]

put that outside of everything else, btw

[prime stone]

should I be passing in self anyway even if it doesn't have parameters

[manic rune]

yes

[prime stone]

gotchya

[manic rune]

might have some typos i didnt see in there cuz i typed on phone, sooo

:3

[midnight coyote]

dont define it like this

the correct way is Card.get_chip_bonus()

[manic rune]

...no?

[midnight coyote]

calling it with the : will call the func

which, you do not want to do

[manic rune]

its Card.get_chip_bonus, not Card:get_chip_bonus

[strange wasp]

Oh. The documentation. I'm learning as I go. As of right now I'm just following along with the YT video on how to make a joker.

[midnight coyote]

?

[manic rune]

Card.get_chip_bonus wont call the function, you are just grabbing it

[manic rune]

yes thats how hooking works

[midnight coyote]

yeah im an idiot sorry

[manic rune]

i think both . and : work here, if yours works

[manic rune]

its fine :p

[midnight coyote]

how do i define this objectype ughghg

[tawdry shale]

(i'm trying to make a joker that gains x.1 mult if the current hand is the same as the previous hand) mult is updating properly, resets when the hand is different, but it doesn't actually multiply the score

[midnight coyote]

what am i doing ???

[hybrid shadow]

what are you trying to do for context.joker_main

[tawdry shale]

i changed it to "Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult" but it still does nothing

[keen loom]

can anyone help?

[strange wasp]

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

[sturdy compass]

The reason it does nothing is because your Xmult currently equals 1 lol

Actually no wait

[crisp coral]

function Card:func(args) = function Card.func(self, args)

[tawdry shale]

that's when resetting

[tall wharf]

what are you doing 😭

[sturdy compass]

My bad I see the actual issue. Change it to x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult

[stoic fulcrum]

do you have an example of card:remove being hooked? i can't find a good example to work with
i finally got the effect addition to work properly, so this is the last step i need

[tawdry shale]

still isn't doing anything

[manic rune]

local remove_ref = Card.remove

function Card:remove()
   local ret = remove_ref(self)
   --code
   return ret 
end

[hybrid shadow]

have you saved the .lua file and started a new run

[tawdry shale]

yeah

lemme screen record

[midnight coyote]

are there any mods that implement object types

[sturdy compass]

In your other contexts where you’re changing your Xmult value you’re forgetting an ‘extra’ lol

[stoic fulcrum]

how would i go about converting that into an "if" statement?
if remove_ref(joker key)?

[manic rune]

if self.config.center.key == "jokey_key" then

[tawdry shale]

no way 😭 thank u sm

[keen totem]

does talisman add ^ mult support?

[manic rune]

yes

[keen totem]

how

[sturdy compass]

Epic coding moment lmfao

[keen totem]

like how do i use it

[sturdy compass]

We all have ‘em, dw about it

[manic rune]

emult = ...

[keen totem]

ok

[midnight coyote]

HOW DO I MAKE AN OBJECT TYPE THAT CONTAINS CERTAIN JOKERS!!!! AUGGGGHHHHH

im this close

[manic rune]

no clue, never used it before

[strange wasp]

Is there a way to put smods into vsc?

[signal rose]

what, like open it with visual studio code?

[tawdry shale]

roster so far (again)

[keen loom]

can anyone explain why is it crashing?

    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'smtarot',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

[hybrid shadow]

is that Lancer

[tawdry shale]

yeah lmao

[manic rune]

jsjsnsnsn lua extension 😭

this is so easily solved if you have it

[keen loom]

extension for what? vsc?

[manic rune]

yes

[sturdy compass]

The lebanon

[tawdry shale]

me !

[sturdy compass]

[signal rose]

also you cant really tell which line is 123 here lol

[lapis night]

y'all know how The Fool has that text box that shows the last used tarot/planet card? How is that special text box done?

[manic rune]

info_queue

[keen totem]

does anyone know how to get the length of a value stored in omeganum

[limber obsidian]

Um, why is it not loading?

Sorry for image quality

I dont know how to screen shot on my pc after i broke the prnt screen key

[midnight coyote]

i got it working

[keen totem]

windows shift s

[keen loom]

i downloaded it like you've said, and it's not helping much

[keen totem]

what is this based on

[manic rune]

the extension should show missing symbols and such

[signal rose]

no prefix

[strange wasp]

When I search for that, it said that there was no results found.

[limber obsidian]

?

[manic rune]

try restarting vsc, and which lua extension did you fownload

[midnight coyote]

Frozen Soul, but in this context its closer related to Forsaken

[manic rune]

download*

[keen totem]

we got forsaken in balatro before GTA 6

[signal rose]

in smods metadata guide
"prefix": "prefix", // [required] ! Must be unique. This prefix is added to the keys of all objects your mod registers. UNLIKE LEGACY HEADERS, THERE IS NO DEFAULT VALUE.
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[keen loom]

the first one after i search lua in extensions

[manic rune]

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumneko.lua

[midnight coyote]

but theres more

[manic rune]

should be made by sumneko

[keen loom]

yeah that

[manic rune]

restart your vsc then

[keen totem]

two time is a whole ass legendary ngl

bepis

you know stuff about talisman right

[scarlet imp]

I have a Joker that's meant to retrigger certain cards, but whenever the retrigger is about to take place the game crashes, saying "attempt to call 'juice_up' (a nil value)"
so do I need to redefine 'juice_up' for my Joker

[limber obsidian]

Aight, added it. But where do i put the prefix that i just made, or is it just a thing needed that isnt added to jokers

[signal rose]

give me a sec to look over the code

[limber obsidian]

Also how do i even give myself jokers with debugplus

[keen totem]

hit 3 while hovering over in collection

[limber obsidian]

Alright, im sorry for the image quality so good luck

[hardy viper]

if by "length" you mean number of digits then num:log(10) (or num:log10() idk if one or both work

[limber obsidian]

Oooooh

[keen totem]

i forgot about log

i also forgot uh

how it works

so ima look that up

[scarlet imp]

log() is the opposite of exponents. Exponents = repeated multiplication, log = repeated division

[keen totem]

ya

math.floor(log10(x)) is length right?

[signal rose]

not needed for smods.joker as far as i can tell

[strange wasp]

Oh. I've had the one by Sumneko

[limber obsidian]

Alright, ill see if it works

[keen totem]

log may be a very interesting thing for jokers

[scarlet imp]

yeah, log the chips and X the mult by the same amount or something

[limber obsidian]

It didnt work

[keen totem]

actually wait

[scarlet imp]

like a cursed Plasma deck almost

[keen totem]

what is the log thing in talisman

cause youd absolutely need a custom for that

[limber obsidian]

Uhh @signal rose let me get some better images

[signal rose]

are you able to send the lovely console messages, might have a message saying what the issue is in there

it should say something like metadata issue if memory serves

[scarlet imp]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    if context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.current_suit) then
        return {
            message = localize("k_again_ex"),
            repetitions = card.ability.extra.triggers,
            card = self
        }
    end
end

this retrigger code keeps throwing errors, saying its trying to call 'juice_up' which is nil

the errors aren't being thrown by my code directly, just as a result of trying to retrigger I think

[signal rose]

yeah the message should say Found invalid metadata JSON file at [PATH], ignoring: [SMODS _ "src/loader.lua"]:226: id in the lovely injector if its a metadata issue

[limber obsidian]

This was from loading up the mods

[keen loom]

ok, it fixed the crashing, but the card is not working as intended

[signal rose]

can you copy paste what the metadata file has?

[limber obsidian]

You mean the .json?

[signal rose]

yeah

[limber obsidian]

Heres a closer image

[signal rose]

comma on the end of prefix

[limber obsidian]

And ill try to copy paste

[signal rose]

missing

[limber obsidian]

God dammit...

[signal rose]

lmao happens to us all

[scarlet imp]

if I had a nickel for every forgotten comma I might be as loaded as LocalThunk after making this game

[limber obsidian]

Ok it should be fixed... unless idk how to spell prefix or smthin idk anymore

[signal rose]

load it up and see if its working

[keen loom]

i made it so if the tarot card itself is negative, it'll create one normal tarot instead of 3 negative tarots, but it's not working

    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'smtarot',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows',
        text = {
        'Creates 3 random',
        '{C:dark_edition}Negative{} {C:tarot}Tarot{} cards.',
        '{s:0.8,C:tarot}Carnival of Shadows{}{s:0.8} excluded{}'
        },
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        for i = 1, 3 do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                    if self.edition == "e_negative" then 
                        SMODS.add_card({set = 'Tarot'})
                    else 
                        SMODS.add_card({set = 'Tarot',edition="e_negative"})
                    end
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
        delay(0.6)
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return true
    end
}```

[limber obsidian]

Uhhh

Kinda?

Text broke

DOOOR STUCK

DO- DOORS STUCK

Type stuff

[scarlet imp]

The numbersr between the hashtags work as arguments, so it should be the corresponding number listed in loc_vars

[limber obsidian]

It is

[scarlet imp]

so change it to #1# and put 69420 as the first argument in vars in your loc_vars function

[limber obsidian]

Same number

[limber obsidian]

Oooh

[scarlet imp]

ye

it says nil bc its looking for the 69420th argument yk

[keen loom]

can anyone please help on why is my if statement isn't working?

[limber obsidian]

Funny argument

[scarlet imp]

indeed

works now?

[signal rose]

self.edition is a table

[limber obsidian]

Yrp

Yep*

[signal rose]

should be if self.edition.negative if im remembering correctly

[limber obsidian]

Thanks guys

[signal rose]

nice, sorry i havent worked with smods.joker so was quickly trying to check the docs lol

[scarlet imp]

can someone help me with this

[signal rose]

lemme read the prior messages quickly

[limber obsidian]

Idk, smod is simple i thought so i used it

Also in uh

Required mods

How do i make it require smod

I put steammodded

[signal rose]

should just be setting it as a dependancy

[limber obsidian]

This was before prefix

[limber obsidian]

Is it just auto?

[scarlet imp]

I've been using SMODS.Joker and all that stuff for my Jokers without the dependency, it's definitely more secure that way but if you just want to test the Jokers rn I don't think you need it

[signal rose]

        "Steamodded (>=1.*)"
]```

that will make it require some version of steamodded at least

[limber obsidian]

Yeah, this was just my test joker

[limber obsidian]

Alright then, ima add that then figure other stuff out

[signal rose]

wait that will allow stable builds but not beta lol

[limber obsidian]

Eh, stabel is better anyways right?

[signal rose]

that would straight up disallow beta as far as i can tell, probably a bad idea, just use this

        "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-0321b)"
    ],```

allows basically any usable version of steamodded

[scarlet imp]

better to make it work for any version, rather than making you redo work later potentially

[hard vigil]

garbshit

[scarlet imp]

just good practice

[limber obsidian]

Alright, everythings done

And now i gotta see if it scores

[signal rose]

sorry, whats the actual error calling?

[scarlet imp]

I'll get the exact error message one sec

[signal rose]

all gd

[scarlet imp]

its alot lol

everything else works perfect, just the retrigger causing crashes

[keen loom]

it's crashing when trying to use the card

[signal rose]

whats the error

[manic rune]

can you take a ss of your code
-# im on phone so i cant read pasted code :3

[keen loom]

i added a new condition

[scarlet imp]

took out the again message and card = self, works now lol

[signal rose]

it does the retriggers without a card variable?

[scarlet imp]

I copied the retrigger code from Hack, but I guess I should be copying from the SMODS rebuilt version instead which doesn't have that

[signal rose]

oh yeah definitely

[scarlet imp]

no the card variable is still there, just removed the two lines surrounding the repetitions line

[keen loom]

wait, i think i got the issue?

[signal rose]

oh okay yeah that makes sense with smods method

bepis you want a screenshot of code or pasted?

[manic rune]

ss would be nice

i can read pasted code albeit very slowly

[signal rose]

not sure how to get the input_text box and the paste button to go inline with the text
i know the issues stems from the fact that create_text_input returns a column but i cant figure out how to get it to line up

i tried how it does it in the seeded run section but im pretty sure that only functions because its an object

[keen loom]

nvm, i didn't fix the issue 💔

the game crashes if i click the card during gameplay

[manic rune]

i can see why

in can_use, dont use self, use card

and card.edition wont exist if it doesn't have an edition, trying to check .negative from which will crash

if not card.edition or card.edition.key ~= "e_negative" then

but also, you should be returning false or true

[signal rose]

bepis you got any idea on this?

[scarlet imp]

to make custom unlocks for things, we use the check_for_unlock function right

[keen loom]

now i can't use it when it's not a negative card

and it's crashing

[flat vine]

Just started learning about modding.
Is there a way to test features real-time because I've been doing code edit and open the game and exit the game and repeat.

[keen totem]

no

we all just exit and reload

be happy you dont have to wait 5 minutes per update with balatro like with some games

just to find out

you have

a

syntax error

and you dont even have a console

to find out what happened

[flat vine]

I see, so I'm not insane for doing it this way, thanks a lot

[keen totem]

modding literally any other game made me realize just how ass pavlov is to mod

it takes 5 minutes per update, with no console, an entirely different device you have to test on, and all you have as feedback is the effects ingame

[keen loom]

if you're manually restarting the game instead of using the hotkeys, then you are slightly insane

[keen totem]

theres a hotkey?

[flat vine]

Oh there's a hotkey

How does one set it up

[daring fern]

ALT + F5

[stoic fulcrum]

trying another method
is there any way i can change this for the check to work?

[keen loom]

press alt + f5 (holding "m" also works)

[keen totem]

m

[flat vine]

Alright thank you

[primal terrace]

I do code edit using Notepad++ in a Google Drive folder

[daring fern]

j_modprefix_key when checking the key.

[keen totem]

whats the goal of it

[stoic fulcrum]

oh yea i'm a dumbass

[stoic fulcrum]

joker buffed when a specific joker is bought, when that same joker is sold it goes back to normal

[keen totem]

whats the joker with the buff's base and buffed effects?

[keen loom]

my game is crashing whenever i try to use the card

[keen totem]

is the one that buffs the other's only effect to buff that joker

and do you have an in_pool function if so?

[daring fern]

Log?

[stoic fulcrum]

the other joker has its own effect, but it also buffs this joker
i do not have an in_pool function though, no

[keen totem]

its fine then

only need in_pool if a joker NEEDS another to work

what are the effects tho

[stoic fulcrum]

+1 hand size $3 at end of round at base
if second joker is in hand, +2 hand size $9 at end of round

[keen totem]

like what is it before buff and after buff

[keen totem]

is this meant to be double handsize and $^2 or $*3

[stoic fulcrum]

whatever works lol (if using exponent or multiplying), but essentially yeah that's the goal

[keen totem]

alright

so

[daring fern]

if card.edition and card.edition.key ...

[keen loom]

this tarot card creates 3 negative tarots, but 1 normal tarot if it's negative itself

[keen totem]

use an update function to change the vars of the first joker if the other is found

[daring fern]

It would create 3 normal tarots if it was negative.

[keen totem]

so you can get the first joker after the second and still get the buffs

(also its simpler)

[keen totem]

have like a base value and a changed value for each var

base never changes

[stoic fulcrum]

here's what the full calculate function looks like right now
i'm guessing i have to change the if condition for the joker to be detected regardless of whether its obtained first?

[keen totem]

changed = base * 2 if joker found

[keen loom]

it's currently crashing on use

[daring fern]

Log?

[keen totem]

well

uh

all you need in calc is the adding of $ and handsize

[keen loom]

dude, i already posted a few seconds ago #💻・modding-dev message

[keen loom]

yeah, it's already in my code

so?

[daring fern]

If the problem is the same then you haven't changed that.

Also you need to change the one at the bottom.

[stoic fulcrum]

if i write it like this instead it crashes expecting a =
if i do card.ability.extra.dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars*3 it's the same i think?
(or maybe the solution is obvious and i'm just bad)

[keen totem]

wait

when does this trigger

the money

[stoic fulcrum]

at the end of the round

[scarlet imp]

you want it to work like Golden Joker then? where the money received happens at the end of the round?

[stoic fulcrum]

yeah basically

[keen loom]

haven't changed what? you just repeated what i already wrote in the code

[stoic fulcrum]

right now it only works if the second joker is bought after the first joker, but not in the opposite

and it's not properly debuffed if the second joker is sold or destroyed

[scarlet imp]

if you want it to work like Golden Joker use calc_dollar_bonus instead of calculate

[keen loom]

oh

lol

[scarlet imp]

calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        local dollar_bonus = card.ability.extra
        return dollar_bonus
    end

I have this for one of my Jokers and it works perfectly

[stoic fulcrum]

that's not the issue i have, the money generation itself works as intended

it's the value increase/reduction based on the ownership of the supporting joker that i'm having issues with

[keen totem]

how do you set hand size

one sec

[stoic fulcrum]

same way juggler works

on base, at least

[keen loom]

ok i replaced "or" with "and". now instead of crashing on use, it crashes on clicking the card. same error

[daring fern]

Did you change the one in can_use?

[thorn furnace]

how would I get a joker to trigger whenever a card is retriggered

[keen loom]

yes, in both

[keen totem]

yea i just ran into a problem

i was gonna try to code the joker youre trying to make

but you actually cant do update

bc change hand size is changing not setting

[daring fern]

G.hand:change_size((-G.hand.config.card_limit)+numbertosetitto)

[keen totem]

ye bc i needed to know if what i was about to suggest was gonna blow up or not

[keen loom]

ok, i just need to remove "not"

[keen totem]

yea you do have to do it whenever you sell or buy the other joker

[daring fern]

No, I think it would be not (card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_negative")

[keen totem]

but also do a check when you buy the first if the other already exists

[stoic fulcrum]

[keen totem]

[stoic fulcrum]

so the way i'm doing it, i'm stuck with not being able to trigger it the other way around?
the decreasing checks do work if the conditional also works, but i haven't found a way to make a conditional related to selling or destroying work yet

[keen totem]

lets say joker1 is the guy that gets buffed
joker2 is the guy that buffs him

[keen loom]

ok, now how would i make it to spawn 1 normal tarot if it's negative?

[keen totem]

yea idk i need to sleep youre on your own

[daring fern]

Before the loop you would do ```lua
if card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_negative" then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
SMODS.add_card({set = "Tarot"})
return true
end
}))
return nil
end

[scarlet imp]

trying to replicate the behavior of Observatory in a Joker, so I pretty much copy-pasted the code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if self.debuff then return end
        if context.consumeable and context.other_consumable.ability.set == "Planet" and context.other_consumable.ability.consumeable.hand_type == context.scoring_name then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message_card = context.other_consumable
            }
        end
    end

but it only procs once, even if multiple planet cards of the specified poker hand are held

[stoic fulcrum]

    key = "testfiresr",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'testm',
        text = {"{C:red}+#1#{} hand size,",
            "Earn {C:money}$#3#{} at",
            "end of round.",
            "If {C:red}bruhio{}",
            "is in your deck,",
            "{C:red}+#2#{} hand size,",
            "Earn {C:money}$#9#{} at",
            "end of round."}
    },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = 'mindatest',
    blueprint_compat = false,
    cost = 6,
    config = { extra = { h_size = 1, dollars = 3, h_sizetest = 2, dollarstest = 9, h_sizereset = 1, dollarsreset = 3 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size, card.ability.extra.dollars, card.ability.extra.h_sizetest, card.ability.extra.dollarstest,  card.ability.extra.h_sizereset, card.ability.extra.dollarsreset  } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.card_added and table.contains(bruhio, context.card.config.center.key) then
            G.hand:change_size(1)
            card.ability.extra.h_size = card.ability.extra.h_sizetest
            card.ability.extra.dollars = card.ability.extra.dollarstest
            if context.selling_card and not context.blueprint and context.card.config.center.key == "j_bruh_bruhio" then
                G.hand:change_size(-1)
                card.ability.extra.h_size = card.ability.extra.h_sizereset
                card.ability.extra.dollars = card.ability.extra.dollarsreset
            end
        end
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        return card.ability.extra.dollars
    end
}```

i'll repost my code in case anyone can figure out the solution to this ![Prayge](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869136865201119275.webp?size=128 "Prayge") 
currently the "bruhio" buff works only if "bruhio" is bought second, but not if "bruhio" is already owned. when "bruhio" is sold, the conditional to reduce the buffs back to normal doesn't get applied (debuffing itself already works, it just doesn't have a proper conditional)
it's meant to be +1 hand size $3 at the end of round at base, and +2 hand size $9 at the end of round when buffed

[daring fern]

Try doing if context.other_consumable and context.other_consumable.ability.set == "Planet" and context.other_consumable.ability.hand_type == context.scoring_name

[keen loom]

thanks, it's now working as intended

[signal rose]

Somethingcom you got any idea for this?

[daring fern]

I don't know much about UI.

[signal rose]

fair

[thorn furnace]

if someone can help it would be much appreciated 🙏

[scarlet imp]

"attempt to index field 'other_consumable' (a nil value)"
so I think I need the first check to say context.consumeable

[daring fern]

If you are checking if context.other_consumable then that shouldn't happen?

[scarlet imp]

hang on I mispelled it lmao

now its telling me I have an error in my loc_vars when it worked perfectly before 😭

[daring fern]

What does your loc_vars look like?

[primal terrace]

"Candy Cane" from Cryptid has an effect like that, I think you can reference how it does it

[thorn furnace]

ooo

[scarlet imp]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {
        vars = {
            card.ability.extra.Xmult
        }
    }
end,

corresponding config:

config = {
    extra = {
        Xmult = 1.5
    }
},

[daring fern]

What's the log?

[scarlet imp]

if more is need lmk

[primal terrace]

Not sure if there's a simpler way to do it in vanilla

[scarlet imp]

line 330 is the "card.ability.extra.Xmult" line btw

[thorn furnace]

I'm going to assume card.candy_caned isn't a vanilla property

is lua like python where you can just make up properties and as long as it's consistent then it's fine

[scarlet imp]

I fixed this bug, but the Joker is still only being proc'd once

[daring fern]

What is the full calculate code?

[scarlet imp]

this is it, except I changed context.consumeable to context.other_consumable as suggested

[thorn furnace]

like if I just say like context.other_card.abracadabra without defining it previously does it just assign it as false by default

[daring fern]

No, it would be nil.

[scarlet imp]

you can do this to any table value, I believe it gets set to nil by default. Just make sure what you're indexing is a table

[thorn furnace]

o

[daring fern]

You didn't change context.other_consumable.ability.consumeable.hand_type to context.other_consumable.ability.hand_type?

[thorn furnace]

was just wondering if i would literally just have to swap the name of the property here

[scarlet imp]

new if:

if context.other_consumable and context.other_consumable.ability.set == "Planet" and context.other_consumable.ability.hand_type == context.scoring_name then

same issue as before

full joker code:

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "nebula_joker",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Nebula Deck Joker",
        text = {
            "{C:planet}Planet{} cards in your",
            "{C:attention}consumable{} area give",
            "{X:red,C:white} X#1# {} Mult for their",
            "specified {C:attention}poker hand"
        },
        unlock = {
            "Win a run with the",
            "{C:attention}Nebula Deck"
        }
    },
    config = {
        Xmult = 1.5
    },
    rarity = 3,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    atlas = "jokers",
    cost = 8,
    unlocked = false,
    unlock_condition = {type = "win_deck", deck = "b_nebula"},
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.Xmult
            }
        }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if self.debuff then return end
        if context.other_consumable and context.other_consumable.ability.set == "Planet" and context.other_consumable.ability.hand_type == context.scoring_name then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.Xmult,
                message_card = context.other_consumable
            }
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

Try changing the Xmult variable name to PlanetXmult temporarily.

[scarlet imp]

so rename the variable in config or create a local variable PlanetXmult in calculate

[daring fern]

Rename the config variable.

[scarlet imp]

same problem unfortunately

[daring fern]

It still only triggers once?

[scarlet imp]

yeah one sec

[daring fern]

Try removing the if self.debuff then return end

[scarlet imp]

situation:

playing a Pair only gives 1.5X mult when I should be getting 2.25x (1.5 * 1.5)

if I can't get it to work I'll just scrap the idea, I'm kinda upset that I can't get it to work though

[nova eagle]

im assuming this is the right way to check if cavendish is extinct... right?

[daring fern]

No, because cavendish_extinct doesn't exist.

You would have to add it manually.

[nova eagle]

how would i do that?

[daring fern]

You would patch or you would take ownership.

[nova eagle]

which one is easier?

[nova eagle]

also... does this mean that if cavendish goes extinct, you could still rebuy it in shop?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[nova eagle]

huh... i didnt know that

[scarlet imp]

I think Thunk didn't bother since 1/1000 is ridiculous odds anyway

[nova eagle]

i guess

[wintry solar]

Your check is wrong. The Xmult you’re getting is from the joker during joker main. You need to change your config to config = {extra = {xmult = 1.5}}, update your return accordingly, and then change the line that checks the hand type to context.other_consumeable.ability.consumeable.hand_type == context.scoring_name

[thorn furnace]

How would you go about making code run at the end of your played hand
I wanted to reset the xmult my joker gained after each hand is played

[nova eagle]

oh yeah... your right.... i guess now i know how to patch it, but how do i make my mod effect vanilla jokers?

i see what i have to add, i just have no clue how to add it

[wintry solar]

Context.after

[nova eagle]

would i just add cavendish to my mod, but make it linked to the key for vanilla cavendish? im just assumming if i do that it will override the old cavendish code

[thorn furnace]

thank u :3

[daring fern]

No, because it would have your prefix at the start.

[scarlet imp]

this seems to have disabled the joker entirely. Keeping the first part of the statement as either context.consumeable or context.other_consumable keeps the game from crashing but the joker does nothing, and switching it to context.joker_main causes the game to crash

[daring fern]

What I mean is you would patch here: Then add this line if self.ability.name == 'Cavendish' then G.GAME.pool_flags.modprefix_cavendish_extinct = true

[scarlet imp]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "nebula_joker",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Nebula Deck Joker",

            }
        end
    end
}

modified code

[daring fern]

Remove the if self.debuff then return end

[scarlet imp]

same crash:
attempt to index field 'other_consumable' (a nil value)
occurs on the line containing context.joker_main

[nova eagle]

and im assuming i just re-create cavendish in my mod like this, and it should override the vanilla cavendish behaviour?

[daring fern]

No, I said you should patch or take ownership.

[wintry solar]

That’s not what I told you to replace, sorry for the misunderstanding, let me grab the entire check for you

[nova eagle]

what do these mean then? i have no clue how to do either of these

[scarlet imp]

alr my bad, just lmk what the correct thing is if you don't mind

[wintry solar]

if
                context.other_consumeable and
                context.other_consumeable.ability.set == 'Planet' and
                context.other_consumeable.ability.consumeable.hand_type == context.scoring_name
then```

awesomeee it worked

thank you all so much for the help, this Joker was a nightmare lol

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[nova eagle]

ohhh

thats alot more simple than i thought

[cinder cliff]

Does anyone know how to create a custom booster pack? I am having trouble understanding the wiki

I don't want to add custom cards or anything to it

It would be like a standard pack but beefier

[summer furnace]

Is there a way to give a random amount of money between -20 and 20 after a round (with a joker)? I am having trouble understanding the example mods from the guide
This is my Function that crashes the game: SMODS.Joker { key = 'joker2', loc_txt = { name = 'Gold Gold Gold', text = { "Gain any Value between {C:money}-20${} and {C:money}20${}" } }, config = { extra = { money = 4 } }, rarity = 1, atlas = 'FunnyMod', pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }, cost = 6, calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, info_queue, card) return { vars = { math.Random(-20, 20)} } end, }
And the crash error log is in the txt

[daring fern]

pseudorandom("seed", -20, 20)

Also you just do return pseudorandom("seed", -20, 20) in calc_dollar_bonus

[thorn furnace]

i feel like the game is gaslighting me at this point

[summer furnace]

Okay, I'll try that

[keen loom]

is it possible to change the rarity colors and names?

[summer furnace]

That worked! thx for helping me with that

[daring fern]

Yes.

[keen loom]

cool

[daring fern]

Does broken_record = { have an ending }?

Hey guys, what kind do I use if I want to make a booster pack act like a standard one?

Or does it not matter?

[keen loom]

why is the color not changing?

    key = 'cr_common',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Common',
    },
    badge_colour = "#78412F",
    pools = {
    ["brave"] = true
    }
}```

[summer furnace]

could I set earned money from a round to 0?

[summer furnace]

try badge_color instead of badge_colour

[cinder cliff]

they use 'colour' all over the game

[daring fern]

It needs to be HEX("78412F")

[summer furnace]

ahh, ok didn't know that thought it was color also in balatro 😭

[keen loom]

still doesn't work

[daring fern]

Code?

[summer furnace]

?

[keen loom]

nvm, i didn't set the rarity to the card itself

[daring fern]

You mean there no blind reward money?

[thorn furnace]

apparently the problem was random whitespace I didn't see

[summer furnace]

yes

[daring fern]

Try looking at how Mr. Bones works.

[cinder cliff]

Hey guys, I am trying to make a custom booster pack, and I got this error:

oh wait I don't think I included loc_vars

oh I don't need them for a booster

[summer furnace]

Mr.Bones, doesn't have anything to do, with reward money? I meant the money that isn't Gold Gold Gold in this case

[daring fern]

Mr bones definitely does.

When you die you get no rewards when mr bones saves you.

[summer furnace]

in the code it just saves you, there isn't anything about money, atleast not anything I see

[daring fern]

Yes, look at how saved works.
