[tired kestrel]

Thanks

[hard mica]

i did but it didnt give me anything

[daring fern]

Show the full code.

[hard mica]

of the joker?

[daring fern]

‎

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hard mica]

here you go?

[tired kestrel]

I forgot to record but I'll record later

[sonic cedar]

miniscule bumpage

[north swallow]

is there a reason why shop_rate isnt working?

[sonic cedar]

try taking out the default?

spitballing

[formal parrot]

Did i just saw skibidi

[north swallow]

do not question it

[formal parrot]

I have done a consumable type that works fine if you want i can send you the code :P

[north swallow]

YES

PLEASE

[formal parrot]

Sure

https://github.com/Kxeine7/RayCast

Kinda bad namings everything is hpr labeled so good luck lmao ,

[north swallow]

alr ill look into it

[formal parrot]

To clarify i’m using draw step to add shaders

And souls

To consumables but everything else should be fine

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

how's that supposed to work anyway?

[snow vale]

why could this happen?

[plush depot]

how do i make it so that when an enhancement scores on a small/big blind it does nothing, but on a boss blind it does x2 mult and x2 chips

[north swallow]

alr that fixes it, thanks!

no clue what happened

[formal parrot]

Shit happens

[violet gulch]

Obviously not as well versed in this as you so I'm spitballing, but does key every become not nil?

[formal parrot]

For no reason when you code

Lol

[north swallow]

yeah

if i used the continue on the debug save slot it crashed and the moment i started a new run it worked

soo

[formal parrot]

Are you new ?

[formal parrot]

Yeah always start a new run when debugging sometimes it gets stuck

[north swallow]

in modding?

[formal parrot]

Balatro yeah

[north swallow]

uh not really

been making a mod for like a month really

still suck but ive gotten a bit better at it

[formal parrot]

Don’t remember seeing you , maybe im just blind

[north swallow]

dont talk a lot here

[formal parrot]

Key is to Never take an L

[north swallow]

soo makes sense

[formal parrot]

Mhm

Feel free to ask for anything

[north swallow]

alr thanks!

[daring fern]

Yes, because I put assert(card and key) and the game didn't say assertion failed!.

[formal parrot]

Somethingcom515 or me

Or anyone

[snow vale]

why could this happen?

[keen atlas]

missing resources/sounds/red_seal.ogg

[snow vale]

wdym

[daring fern]

red_seal isn't a valid sound.

[snow vale]

o

[daring fern]

It's gold_seal

[keen atlas]

yeah that

[hard mica]

So did you find the problem?

[valid leaf]

anyone knows what I can do to make this work?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[plush depot]

there is probably many mistakes here which is why im asking, first time trying to code somehing like this

[sonic cedar]

hey can you hold this for me

[daring fern]

Install the lua extension.

[plush depot]

why

ok i will how do i do that

[daring fern]

It will tell you where the error is.

[daring fern]

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

[plush depot]

ok i did it

what do i do

[vast night]

hi again everyone :D
-# long time no see
does some1 know how i can see if the played hand is superior to the last one or inferior (like ik with the config etc, but i wanna know how i can check the rank or smtn like that of the hand, so it even works in modded

[daring fern]

Do you see any red lines?

[plush depot]

no

nvm had to reload

[daring fern]

You mean if the hand is higher or lower than the previous?

[valid leaf]

what do I do?

[plush depot]

this watchu mean

[vast night]

it seems like you may or may not be missing a bracket? hover over the red line

oop didnt see that

just hover over the line and see what it says

no

you are missing some brackets

[plush depot]

unexpected symbol

[daring fern]

The end is in the event when it should be outside of it.

[plush depot]

now it looks like this is it good

[vast night]

yep

[vast night]

ye

[plush depot]

it dosent work (i added and G.GAME.blind.boss the game still loads)

but it dosent work on ONLY the boss blind

[vast night]

what''s your goal

[daring fern]

if (#G.playing_cards - G.GAME.starting_deck_size) > 0 then
    local effects = {}
    for i=1, (#G.playing_cards - G.GAME.starting_deck_size) do
        local joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, "seed")
        table.insert(effects, SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, joker, context)
    end
    return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
end
```?

[plush depot]

x2 chips and mult only on boss blind

[daring fern]

Is this an enhancement?

[vast night]

why are you adding an event then?

[plush depot]

idk

[daring fern]

You would put everything in the config in extra and remove the event.

[vast night]

you would need to check if its the boss bliind and return xmult (and does xchips exist? @daring fern )

[daring fern]

Yes.

[plush depot]

it does

[daring fern]

Then do ```lua
if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play and G.GAME.blind.boss then
return {xchips = card.ability.extra.x_chips, xmult = card.ability.extra.x_mult}
end

[sonic cedar]

Realized it's better to ask as a new question. How do I make this effect-copying with merge_effects work? The joker is supposed to copy the effects of jokers, based on the keys of the jokers added to a table

[valid leaf]

I'll try that thank you!

[plush depot]

not wkr

work

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[vast night]

(also if you want to make your code look nicer and more readeable press shift + alt + f)

[daring fern]

Have you tried printing the get_joker_return?

[sonic cedar]

I’ll do that when I get home and send it here

[plush depot]

thank yiou

[rapid stag]

i want to make an effect that prevents jokers from being debuffed, but i want to interpose any debuff attempts with a 'not allowed' attention text - so since i imagine that the entirety of vanilla debuff sources are not convertd to use SMODS.debuff_card, is there some universal debuffing event i can look into?

[daring fern]

No, you would probably just use SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff

[rapid stag]

it's an optional feature?

[daring fern]

No.

It just triggers on Card:set_debuff and you return 'prevent_debuff' to prevent debuffs.

[rapid stag]

does it take any args? like the debuff target in question

[daring fern]

Yes, it has the card.

[daring fern]

Try putting some prints in the function.

[sonic cedar]

oki doke

[daring fern]

No, I was referring to the function not literally the value of get_joker_return

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhhh

ok ok in that case hold

[sonic cedar]

how's this btw

[daring fern]

That last print is mostly useless.

[sonic cedar]

removing

[sonic cedar]

how do i print the function properly again

cause obv just putting the function in the print would just crash the game

[daring fern]

Just do local ret = function(...) print(ret)

[sonic cedar]

where does this go? the places im putting it keeps giving errors fixed it

[wild escarp]

How would I apply the soul's animation with a custom image?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/spectrals.lua#L767

[wild escarp]

What is G.shared_soul? I'm assuming it's that's the image?

[daring fern]

It's a Sprite.

[wild escarp]

how would I insert my own image there?

[daring fern]

You would change the atlas and pos.

[sonic cedar]

new crash :(

[daring fern]

You're not inputting a card into the function.

[sonic cedar]

can you explain what you mean? i'm foreign to this function, remember

[daring fern]

How are you calling it?

[sonic cedar]

something to do with this maybe?

(this one uses self it's fine)

[sonic cedar]

maybe even cause of how the table is formatted?

[wild escarp]

I must be doing something wrong here, because I get an error, attempt to perform arithmetic on field x, a nil value.

local image = Sprite(0, 0, self.CARD_W, self.CARD_H, "WillatroOrgans", {x = 1, y = 0})
image.role.draw_major = card
image:draw_shader('dissolve', 0, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod, nil,
    0.1 + 0.03 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL), nil, 0.6)
image:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)

[daring fern]

It needs to be G.ASSET_ATLAS["modprefix_key"]

[solid grotto]

How do I edit the "score at least" text at the end of a round?
My joker saves you like mr bones but idk how to make it say "saved by ___"

[daring fern]

You return the key of a localization.

[solid grotto]

Not sure what that means

Tbh

My joker is intended to save you multiple times

It works fine as is I just don't know where to put the return to edit the end of round

[wild escarp]

Now it's attempt to perform arithmetic on W, a nil value.

[daring fern]

Code?

[wild escarp]

local image = Sprite(0, 0, self.CARD_W, self.CARD_H, G.ASSET_ATLAS["willatro_WillatroOrgans"], {x = 1, y = 0})

[daring fern]

You put the key of an entry in Localization > misc > dictionary

[solid grotto]

Still new to modding how would this look in code

[daring fern]

The localization?

[solid grotto]

I'm brain farting rn

[hidden sable]

why doesnt this work

[daring fern]

G.hand.cards not G.hand

[pallid sleet]

Would this be how you write a action with a chance of happening

if pseudorandom('dishsoap') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
             SMODS.add_card({key = "j_loljk_bubbles", edition = 'e_negative'})
        end

odds are set to 2 in config

[hidden sable]

oop

[solid grotto]

What's the variable for the current money the player has

I want to subtract money per activation of a joker

[hidden sable]

oop

[daring fern]

G.GAME.dollars

[pallid sleet]

woahhh

[daring fern]

You need to add_to_deck and emplace

[hidden sable]

how

[solid grotto]

Is G.GAME just like, to get the current value of anything like money, chips, probability

[daring fern]

card:add_to_deck() and G.hand:emplace(card)

[solid grotto]

It's used for the oops check

G.GAME.probabilities.normal

What is it now

[wintry solar]

not yet

that's still dev build

pls don't recommend to new devs

[solid grotto]

Anyway

How do I change this so the money subtraction has an animation

Or at least is prominent

[hidden sable]

use ease_money i think

[pure salmon]

ease_dollars()

[red flower]

that or return dollars

[hidden sable]

ease_dollars(how much to give, negative if you want it to go down)

[hidden sable]

if i wanted to turn the entire hand into 1 selected card would i still use this or would i do something different

[solid grotto]

So does this do it

Is that all I need

[hidden sable]

i the mini try

[daring fern]

You would still use copy_card, yes.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[solid grotto]

It works perfectly now

Awesome

Thanks

[hidden sable]

so how would i make it flip all the cards in hand, turn them into the card, and flip em back?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/fbfeb4d2e14111c9c47706f71cc25c7b50e021c9/src/spectrals.lua#L287

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
    if v ~= G.hand.highlighted[1] then
        copy_card(G.hand.highlighted[1], v)
    end
end

[hidden sable]

isn't that what i was doing up above

[daring fern]

No, because G.hand.cards[card] doesn't exist.

[solid grotto]

Whenver my code says eaten, I die
Whenever my code says saved, the game doesn't progress to the results screen and permanently softlocks

Even though in both instances death should be prevented?

Shouldn't the "saved = j_cheese_wheel" prevent death by itself

[red flower]

can i see the full code

[solid grotto]

Card function

Btw the first saved bit works every time

I've had no issues with the first if statement

[red flower]

neither return works?

[solid grotto]

The first return works

[pastel kernel]

How do you define a mega arcana pack

[solid grotto]

The second return fails differently depending on the message I add

[faint yacht]

p_arcana_mega?

[red flower]

have you tried removing the message

[pastel kernel]

    if context.joker_main and not card.ability.extra.triggered then
      SMODS.add_booster_to_shop({
        key = "p_arcana_mega",
        cost = 0,
        weight = 1,
      })

like this?

[plush depot]

when i play a card with pink enhancement on a boss blind

[red flower]

extra doesn't seem to be in config

[plush depot]

oh

[pastel kernel]

is this how you do the add booster thing?

[solid grotto]

I'll try that

In a bit

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.add_booster_to_shop("p_arcana_mega")

[pastel kernel]

oh

[plush depot]

like this?

[pastel kernel]

can i make it free?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

yeah

[plush depot]

cost = 0

[pure salmon]

how do i make a consumable increase hand size for 1 blind?

[pastel kernel]

like on a comma?

[plush depot]

it works now

[daring fern]

No.

[plush depot]

heres the last bit of code for mine

[daring fern]

No.

[plush depot]

wha

it works tho

[daring fern]

They're trying to create a free mega arcana pack in the shop, I think.

[plush depot]

oh

[daring fern]

Also setting cost = 0 still wouldn't work.

[plush depot]

wait clarification

[pastel kernel]

the joker creates a free mega arcana

[plush depot]

ah

[pastel kernel]

and gives xmult per skip

[red flower]

you would probably need something to keep track of that globally and then hook SMODS.calculate_context or the round reset thing to change it back

[plush depot]

so it creates a mega arcana pack and gains xmult per skip or gives

can i do this

would this work

would it give naneinf mult

[daring fern]

No.

[plush depot]

aw

[daring fern]

Do math.huge

[plush depot]

lol

[pastel kernel]

can i share my joker code

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.add_booster_to_shop("p_arcana_mega") not SMODS.add_booster_to_shop({ "p_arcana_mega", cost = 0, weight = 1 })

[pastel kernel]

is it free by default?

[daring fern]

Also you can't add a booster to the shop in joker_main

[sonic cedar]

i got the print working, but i dont know what i should be looking for, especially since the print log is absolutely massive

[lucid owl]

just curious, why do we leave an extra set of parentheses after SMODS.load_file() (when wrapped in assert())?

[daring fern]

Because it returns a function.

[lucid owl]

oh, that makes sense! i didn't realize lol

[sonic cedar]

my framerate hit 0 😭

[pastel kernel]

Ok maybe during shop?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[pastel kernel]

Free mega arcana in the shop

[daring fern]

You would probably do it on context.starting_shop then.

[pastel kernel]

Then double xmult every booster skip

[sonic cedar]

did my computer crash

does the print log help at least

this is after triggering a fake Fibonacci

[daring fern]

Perhaps, it would be better to give the other method a try?

[sonic cedar]

come again

[pastel kernel]

"invalid booster key: p_arcana_mega"

[sonic cedar]

but that’ll change the actual joker,,,,,

and I can’t change to two jokers at the same time

[daring fern]

No, it wont.

[pastel kernel]

wdym invalid booster key: p_arcana_mega

[daring fern]

It's p_arcana_mega_1

[sonic cedar]

ok but can I change it to 2 jokers at once

the multiple effects is kind of a key element to this

[pastel kernel]

ok now how do you change the cost?

[daring fern]

No, but you can change it in to 2 jokers after changing the first time.

[sonic cedar]

so if I wanted it to blueprint and brainstorm at the same time is it possible

for example

[daring fern]

Yes.

The problem is, it doesn't work with events.

[sonic cedar]

im listening 👁️ 👁️

[sonic cedar]

[chrome widget]

My extra blind system came quite in handy for this one hehehe

[sonic cedar]

I NEED THOSE MAN

[hidden sable]

now how do i make it do the flip effect

[sonic cedar]

how could you do this

[daring fern]

It only crashes if the joker it's copying refers to it's properties in an event.

[chrome widget]

evil

[pastel kernel]

how do you change the cost?

[sonic cedar]

ok but my transformations are events

[hidden sable]

cost of what

[pastel kernel]

of the added booster

[daring fern]

Yes, but do they happen during the time the joker would be checking for calculations.

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

booster.cost = 0

[sonic cedar]

uhhhhhhh
the transformations only trigger after the joker’s triggered, so I don’t think so?

[daring fern]

Then it wont crash because of that.

[errant fulcrum]

Why wouldn't cost = 4 work?

[daring fern]

Because they want to make it free?

[hidden sable]

jsut do cost = 0

[errant fulcrum]

Oh sorry I mean why booster.cost instead of just cost

[daring fern]

Because this is not a custom booster?

This is a booster added to the shop?

[sonic cedar]

And then I also have an event for it to do this

but I think that’s also post calculation?

[sturdy compass]

hello dev chgat

[hidden sable]

is there a simple way to just flip a card, with noises and everything

[sturdy compass]

card:flip()

[daring fern]

The only times it would have the possibility to crash is if the joker it's copying is triggering an event while referring to it's joker specific properties.

[hidden sable]

thatll make the noises too?

[sonic cedar]

Oh awesome

[sturdy compass]

Actually no it doesn't

[hidden sable]

is there a reason vremade uses so much G.E_MANAGER:add_event

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[hidden sable]

does it concern me?

[daring fern]

No.

[pastel kernel]

is it booster_cost or booster.cost?

[sturdy compass]

Potentially

Depends on what they're tryna do lol

[daring fern]

It depends on what you called the variable of the created booster.

[sturdy compass]

Anyways
Piggy Bank but angry

[sonic cedar]

so how would I do that 😁 (while I undo the other stuff)

[hidden sable]

only time ive ever had to use an event is for a single card

[pastel kernel]

i'll just send the lua again

[hidden sable]

how do i make it play the noise

[sturdy compass]

play_sound('card1')

[pastel kernel]

where do i put it?

[sonic cedar]

the whole lua file is crazy

[pastel kernel]

of course it is

[daring fern]

Something like this:

[sonic cedar]

oh thank god it’s a pa—oh my god

“Something like?”

So I can still use the key table stuff with all that right

[daring fern]

Yes, just replace card.ability.soe_jokers

[sonic cedar]

ah

…I need everything else huh…

[daring fern]

Some of it is just for saving values and fixing events.

[sonic cedar]

Ohhhh ok ok cool

[daring fern]

It's this with all of that removed: ```lua
if card.ability.soe_jokers and next(card.ability.soe_jokers) then
local old_ability, old_center, old_center_key, extra_jokers_list, jokers_table = copy_table(card.ability), card.config.center, card.config.center_key, SEALS.get_quantum_jokers(card), {}
table.sort(extra_jokers_list, function(a, b) return (G.P_CENTERS[a].order or 0) < (G.P_CENTERS[b].order or 0) end)
table.insert(extra_jokers_list, 1, card.config.center.key)
for _, k in ipairs(extra_jokers_list) do
SEALS.safe_set_ability(card, G.P_CENTERS[k])
local joker = card:calculate_joker(context)
if joker then
table.insert(jokers_table, joker)
end
end
card.ability, card.config.center, card.config.center_key, jokers = old_ability, old_center, old_center_key, SMODS.merge_effects(jokers_table)
else
local jokers, triggered = card:calculate_joker(context)
end

[sonic cedar]

oh that's
actually not that bad

[daring fern]

Yes, I said it depends on the variable.

[pastel kernel]

i have to give it a key?

[hidden sable]

what does juice_up do

[sonic cedar]

the little shake animation

[sonic cedar]

replacing it with the table, right?

[hidden sable]

what is this doing

[daring fern]

Yes, the table of keys.

[sonic cedar]

playing the sound

[red flower]

i think it does a different volume for each card? something like that

[sonic cedar]

so what about these function here?

[daring fern]

You mean safe_set_ability?

[sonic cedar]

and the get_quantum_jokers

[sonic cedar]

can i just remove those or do i have to set them up

[daring fern]

I think you would just replace that with the key list.

[sonic cedar]

the exceptions table?

[sonic cedar]

or literally the table list of keys again

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sonic cedar]

👍

[sonic cedar]

oh my god

[chrome widget]

    G.GAME.round_resets.free_rerolls = G.GAME.round_resets.free_rerolls + mod
    G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls = math.max(G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls + mod, 0)
    calculate_reroll_cost(true)
end```

So I'm not 100% certain why there's both `round_resets.free_rerolls` and `current_round.free_rerolls`

[normal crest]

current_round likely refers to the amount of free rerolls left

and round_resets to the amount you start with each shop, if I had to guess

[chrome widget]

Mmm, thanks

[rapid stag]

do gradient colours work on badges?

i can't imagine they do, right

[daring fern]

Yes.

[rapid stag]

oh right, because edition badges are dark_edition

[sonic cedar]

does this go in my main file or the joker file?

[rapid stag]

does set_card_type_badge() also bypass creation the mod badge, or no?
i'm assuming no because the mod badge is always created afterward

[daring fern]

It doesn't really matter, as long as it is loaded.

[sonic cedar]

ill put in the main for organization sake

[pastel kernel]

SMODS.add_voucher_to_shop(key)/SMODS.add_booster_to_shop(key)

    Adds a Voucher or a Booster to the current shop.
    key - the key of the object to be added. If no key is provided, the next seeded object will be used



oh... p_arcana_mega_1.cost = 0

no i'm just stupid

i swear i'm a dumbass

[drowsy heath]

So I got a question

Im so stumped

What is missing from this or wrong for my joker to say xnil, the add joker bit im working on after but the xmult shows as nil instead of giving rhe defined x2

If anyone can figure it out thank you, and no I dont have discord on that laptop so that's why before anyone asks

[pastel kernel]

what do you mean it depends on the variable? what variable?

[red flower]

center.ability.extra.Xmult

[drowsy heath]

Where do i put that ? Im like rather new to this

Wait

No nvm the part where it is just center.extra.xmult I need to add ability yeah m

?**

[red flower]

yes

[drowsy heath]

Okok thank you

Still showing xnil in game

[pastel kernel]

there's nothing in smods wiki that talks about booster.cost

or whatever

[red flower]

boosters are cards and cards have a cost attribute

[pastel kernel]

i'm trying to make the mega arcana free
SMODS.add_booster_to_shop("p_arcana_mega_1")
someone suggested i use
booster.cost = 0
and they also said it depends on the variable

i don't know what variable they're talking about

it's kind of cryptic

[sonic cedar]

ok FINALLY got it all down
what's next

[daring fern]

local booster = SMODS.add_booster_to_shop("p_arcana_mega_1")
booster.cost = 0

[daring fern]

Does it work?

[sonic cedar]

oh thats the whole thing

[sonic cedar]

i didnt know that was the whole thing so i havent tested yet

testing now

[pastel kernel]

how long does it take to finish reading the entire lua documentation?

[hidden sable]

is there a way to detect when a sound stopped playing

[pastel kernel]

because i'll be reading that all over again

word by word

again and again

[sonic cedar]

bro is trying to become the other 2%

[red flower]

i think reading the lua docs is good but they're kinda crappy

[pastel kernel]

i'm not, i'm just terrible at what i do.

i have self-esteem problems.

[hidden sable]

like play the sound and dont continue events until the sound is done

[red flower]

try adding a delay(seconds)

[pastel kernel]

what about the smods wiki?

how long does it take to read all that?

[red flower]

like an hour

[hidden sable]

i did but sounds dont change from game speed, delay does

[sonic cedar]

man what in the hell

[red flower]

no idea then

[errant fulcrum]

Oh? Is someone else working on an Inscryption mod too?

[sonic cedar]

it's literally just the ijiraq for now

but it's literally just my hyperfixations (hence mod name)

[errant fulcrum]

So far I've added all the avian cards and took a break to figure out how to modify booster pack pools (what a mistake that was)

[sonic cedar]

that sounds so painful

[errant fulcrum]

Very

[sonic cedar]

No (tested with gros michel) (it does not gros michel)

[drowsy heath]

Can someone help, I'm new to this n I'm trying to get my joker to give an Xmult but nothing is working

[sonic cedar]

I should send code actually

[sonic cedar]

send code

[drowsy heath]

I have to take a picture dont have discord on the laptop

[sonic cedar]

what am I looking at

[hidden sable]

what are the params for juice_up

[drowsy heath]

Idek myself icl

[sonic cedar]

where is your calculate

[drowsy heath]

Non of the things I saw had it... 😅 how does one even do that

[hidden sable]

tested it, first param seems to be scale and second is rotation

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker#api-methods

[drowsy heath]

Thank you, I feel like a lost child in a Tesco rn 🥲

[pastel kernel]

What if

Boosters appear in shop rerolls now

[drowsy heath]

Well erm idk where to put it or anything it didn't rlly help but I did it, dont have any errors popping up and it didn't change the fact its still xnil

[red flower]

i recommend looking here
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/fbfeb4d2e14111c9c47706f71cc25c7b50e021c9/src/jokers.lua#L26

[formal quest]

Is code autocompletion possible for balatro modding? I'm used to terraria modding where you can just type and have a list of variable names come up.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[formal quest]

Nice, how do I set it up?

[chrome widget]

Does loc_vars for Backs not support info_queue?

[daring fern]

You put SMODS and the lovely dump in your workspace.

[drowsy heath]

Okay so even that is pretty much the same as my code and still it dont work

The more I do this the more my brain hurts

[red flower]

AFAIK no, you need to use {T:}

[chrome widget]

Hmm...

I guess that's a decent compromise, but it's primarily for putting an artist credit on the backs

[red flower]

did you restart the run before testing

[drowsy heath]

Yes saved and restart

[red flower]

no idea then

oh wait no

center.extra doesn't exist still

[drowsy heath]

It does

[red flower]

no it doesn't

[formal quest]

Lovely dump?

[red flower]

center.ability.extra does

[drowsy heath]

I have center.extra too

[red flower]

where and why

[sonic cedar]

end

[drowsy heath]

Can't remember why I put it there but it just kinda worked idk

[merry raven]

Is there a context to detect when cards are drawn
I'm making a Joker that has a 1 in 8 chance of debuffing a card when each one is drawn

[red flower]

well that's why it says nil so it's not working

[drowsy heath]

Oh where do i need to put it

[red flower]

you don't just return { vars = center.ability.extra.Xmult }

[daring fern]

Mods/lovely

[red flower]

also you might want to change center for card, it's not a center

[red flower]

context.hand_drawn does that but you might want to use context.debuff_card instead to debuff a card

[merry raven]

Gotcha

[iron burrow]

How do you pull a joker description from the game state in lua?

[daring fern]

Have you tried putting a print in that function?

[red flower]

what's the end goal?

[hidden sable]

is there a way to make it so pressing next round sends you into the next blind under a bool condition

and also change the text

[sonic cedar]

Ok HOW do I print here? So I don’t crash my computer again

[formal quest]

Found it, thanks. And for steammodded, I should use this directory, correct?

[iron burrow]

I am making a bot to play the game and want my bot to know what joker it's going to purchase. I am pulling the name but want the description so I can scan for text like chips or do NLP to determine if that's an effective purchase.

[daring fern]

print "test"

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[sonic cedar]

Does it matter where?

[daring fern]

Outside of the ifs probably.

[crisp coral]

G.localization.descriptions.Joker.card_key.text

[drowsy heath]

Ok so after I removed the center.extra it says I have ability a nil value ....

[vague crest]

is there a way to tell if something has been ignored in the shop?

specifically im looking into making a joker that scales when a rare joker is skipped

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

I would probably just take those values from the card itself if you are already interfacing with lua

[vague crest]

qwherre would i find information on this

[daring fern]

You would check if G.shop_jokers.cards has any rare jokers on context.ending_shop

[crisp coral]

context.ending_shop, iterate through all cards in G.shop_jokers

[iron burrow]

I was hoping to get it from the card directly yeah

[vague crest]

waitttt thats smart ok

[sonic cedar]

Doesn’t print

[formal quest]

Still not getting autocompletion. I added the folders to my workspace.

[vague crest]

and the same could be checked on reroll no issues?

[red flower]

can i see the code again

[crisp coral]

it's better to just provide the answer here instead of just saying Yes and waiting for the other person to ask again

[daring fern]

Try just opening the mods folder.

[red flower]

try this
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/399

[drowsy heath]

Full joker script i have

Ik somet is missing still

[red flower]

change Card back to center

that's not what i meant lol

[drowsy heath]

Oh

[daring fern]

Did the patch work?

[sonic cedar]

I’ll look

[merry raven]

Can't figure out how to make the drawn cards debuffed, this is what I got so far

if context.hand_drawn then
            if context.debuff_card and pseudorandom('splinter_of_dread') < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal / (card.ability.extra.denom or 8)) then
                return{
                    debuff = true
                }
            end
        end

[hidden sable]

anyone?

[red flower]

both context don't happen at the same time, that's why I said "instead"

you want only debuff_card

[merry raven]

Oh alright

[drowsy heath]

So with that change what else do I do

[sonic cedar]

it is in fact
Not patching

[red flower]

does it work now

[daring fern]

What does the place it is supposed to patch look like?

[drowsy heath]

Doesn't crash now but still nil

[red flower]

you're also using Xmult and xmult, use only one

[drowsy heath]

That was me forgetting to hit shift when typing my bad

[wooden nexus]

Got a weird dev question: how do I remove the whole "Modded Orders go after the vanilla order"

...At least changing it for a specific mod

[formal quest]

What am I supposed to download from this? It's been merged and it's not really clear what I should download from the way its written.

[red flower]

nothing, follow the how to set up part but using the smods folder

[drowsy heath]

Now it says 2x mult but doesn't actually do anything

[daring fern]

Is this the lovely dump?

[sonic cedar]

yes

[red flower]

1. you're returning mult in calculate when you want xmult
2. card.ability.extra.mult doesn't exist

[drowsy heath]

I think ik what I need to change the

Then*

[merry raven]

It did debuff playing cards as they are drawn, but it also occasionally debuffs cards where I don't want them to like Jokers, how do I limit it to playing cards? context.cardarea == G.hand didn't work for me

if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.debuff_card and pseudorandom('splinter_of_dread') < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal / (card.ability.extra.denom or 8)) then
            return{
                debuff = true
            }
        end

[sonic cedar]

let me try something

[wooden nexus]

Been trying to look around Smods' files to no avail

[formal quest]

Am I supposed to get these errors at first or have I misinterpreted the directions?

[red flower]

context.debuff_card.area == G.hand iirc

[red flower]

remove the comments

[merry raven]

Oh damn you can stack contexts like that?

[drowsy heath]

So I changed the things and no errors hasn't crashed and then when I play a card it crashes

[formal quest]

Trailing comma too?

[red flower]

wdym

[red flower]

the comma is fine, but you do need to change the paths to actual paths

[sonic cedar]

oh my god I put function instead of functions

[red flower]

what's the code

[drowsy heath]

I mean i changed what I thought needed changing

[formal quest]

Ok, are these paths relative?

[red flower]

return { Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }

[merry raven]

Still didn't really work, gave me an error attempt to index field 'debuff_card' (a nil value)

if context.debuff_card.area == G.hand and pseudorandom('splinter_of_dread') < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal / (card.ability.extra.denom or 8)) then
            return{
                debuff = true
            }
        end

[red flower]

uhh no idea :3

[drowsy heath]

So I was just being blind n missed one 😅

[red flower]

you need context.debuff_card and before

[merry raven]

Ohhhhh

[drowsy heath]

Funny story, ability now has a nil value

Again

[red flower]

are you using Card again instead of card

lua is case sensitive

[drowsy heath]

Ah

THANK YOU IT WORKED

[red flower]

i do recommend copying the structure from vanillaremade if you can

[merry raven]

Now it's getting very fucky

• Drawing cards didn't make them debuffed, even with the help of OA6
• However, cloning OA6 with the debug tool will preemptively debuff the cards already in hand, removing/selling those OA6 jokers will just remove the debuffs on some of them

[drowsy heath]

Yeah just gotta fix my image problem now coz the card art isn't working

[formal quest]

@red flower Where do I find the love2d annotation folder? And do I need the balatro directory in AppData or steamapps\local?

[red flower]

you need to get love2d separately i think, i would ignore that

[formal quest]

I don't need it?

[hidden sable]

how can i change the blinds needed score

like multiplying it by 1.5 in blind

[red flower]

nah, 99% of the time you don't use anything native

the balatro directory should be the lovely/dump something mentioned

[sonic cedar]

ok i can definitely say it’s patched

[red flower]

you will need to grab me at a time when im more awake honestly lol

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/bfe4f9bfc4d38135c652aeed94b0942ad0a1f736/src/jokers/11BurningAbyss.lua#L65

[merry raven]

Maybe I'll forgo context.debuff_card and just use SMODS.debuff_card

[formal quest]

I need the lovely dump even though it asks for balatro source?

[pastel torrent]

is there a method for giving random consumables to the player I can use?

[red flower]

yes, it's the balatro source but with all the patches applied

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{key = "c_modprefix_key"}

[pastel torrent]

lets say I want so that its the default game's consumable

how should I do it

[red flower]

like any consumable?

[pastel torrent]

any

correct

[red flower]

local random_set = pseudorandom_element({"Tarot", "Planet", "Spectral"}, "seed")
SMODS.add_card{ set = random_set }

[hidden sable]

?

[red flower]

yeah

[hidden sable]

didnt work

[red flower]

you need to update the text too

[hidden sable]

unless it didnt update visually

[hidden sable]

ah, how

[pastel torrent]

thank you

I appreciate

[red flower]

the line after that in the link

[formal quest]

This is my .luarc.json, but I don't think I'm getting any real suggestions. It's just those "abc" suggestions with random words.

[hidden sable]

can i use juice_up on it?

on the text object

[red flower]

yes

[hidden sable]

basically how the chips and mult display shake

[red flower]

i think so at least

you would need to find where the text object is tho

[merry raven]

How do you make a Joker not available in shops and booster packs

[hidden sable]

yeah i think so

[formal quest]

@red flower

[hidden sable]

something with in_pool

[red flower]

it needs to be in your main workspace directory iirc

[sonic cedar]

It’s still going.

oh my god it’s over

taking out the print so I can test properly

[hidden sable]

how would i do this?

[formal quest]

Which directory is that? Cause I tried putting it with my workspace file in my mod's own folder, and it didn't change.

[red flower]

read the source code until you find it :3

[hidden sable]

gulp

[red flower]

I'm not sure, I would show you mine but I'm not on my pc rn

[sonic cedar]

ok on one hand
It worksish! On the other hand

It’s so incredibly laggy

the frame drop is painful whenever it triggers

actually yeah no just in general

as long as this guy’s on the screen it initiates superlag

I’ll bring that up tmr though I need sleeeeeep

(Ok the game crashed yeah Im going gn all)

[formal quest]

Figured it out. I had the directory right, I just needed to install the Lua extension.

I assumed vscode came with it, but it doesn't

[hidden sable]

i checked blind.lua and surprisingly it doesnt look like its there

it looks like G.GAME.blind.chip_text SHOULD be the object

[red flower]

no that's the text

[hidden sable]

thats just how i see it

[red flower]

like the string text

[hidden sable]

yeah ik

where would i find the text object

any pointers?

i found blind:wiggle()

[red flower]

it's in create_UIBox_HUD

[hidden sable]

in UI_definitions?

[red flower]

it doesn't have an id so it's going to be hard to manipulate

[red flower]

yes

[pastel torrent]

what's the method to like execute function when the hand only get played and not for every card already?

[hidden sable]

maybe i can just blind:wiggle

[red flower]

oh wait no it does

[hidden sable]

what is it!?

[red flower]

try G.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('chip_UI_count'):juice_up()

[pastel torrent]

did I even say that correctly

lmao

[hidden sable]

no movement

[red flower]

damn

well it was worth a try

[hidden sable]

does this mean its incapable of movement?

[red flower]

elaborate?

[pastel torrent]

so like

I use a function that triggers

every card

lets say I only want it to trigger once the hand is played

and not for every card

[chrome widget]

How do you add custom badges to tags?

[red flower]

in calculate?

[pastel torrent]

yes but

this will play it every card scored

[hidden sable]

context.before

[pastel torrent]

thanks

[red flower]

what's the end goal? it could be a lot of different contexts

[pastel torrent]

only just trigger when the hand starts

its a passive card

the one that gives

consumables

lol

[red flower]

yeah before is fine then

[hidden sable]

is there any way to add SOME form of animation to show the player the blinds value just changed

[pastel torrent]

alr thanks

also is there a method to force loose the game?

[red flower]

G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
G.STATE_COMPLETE = false

[pastel torrent]

thanks

do I switch it to true?

[chrome widget]

How do you access a pool created via SMODS.ObjectType?

[red flower]

no

[pastel torrent]

okay

[chrome widget]

I would've thought it was in G.P_CENTER_POOLS but i'm getting that the pool is nil

[pastel torrent]

ty

[red flower]

it should be there

[chrome widget]

Do pools not add prefixes by default?
G.P_CENTER_POOLS['fnwk_women']

[pastel torrent]

another weird question how can I make a multiplied mult

[red flower]

i dont think so

[pastel torrent]

for some reason I didnt find any methods for that too

[red flower]

return { xmult = value }? I don't entirely understand the question

[pastel torrent]

ohhhhhhhh

xmult

[hidden sable]

any formatting i missed here?

[pastel torrent]

man im such a dummy

lol

thx

[hidden sable]

or terminology that can be shortened

[red flower]

blind's*

also in my mod I use Blind's requirement but I think your text is clear as well

[hidden sable]

i dont recall balatro using puncuation

trying to keep my text as vanilla as possible

[red flower]

punctuation is a feature of the English language not balatro

it doesn't use periods

[formal quest]

I've got a text question too that I probably should have asked here

[hidden sable]

or commas, but i dont recall balatro using '

[formal quest]

How can I make this description shorter? "+2 Mult per rank difference between highest and lowest scored card"

[red flower]

it doesn't remove it, it just doesn't have any words that require 's

except Driver's License i guess

but it makes the description harder to read

it does use commas tho

[hidden sable]

i guess the rules for formatting are off and on

[red flower]

no, it just doesn't use periods

[hidden sable]

impretty sure theres like 5 jokers that use commas

[red flower]

scrolling through the wiki I count several more

[hidden sable]

even text color formatting is off too

its not using inactive

[chrome widget]

Hmm, I'm trying to get my tag to create cards in the shop, but for whatever reason, if you have multiple, it creates both of them in the second slot and overwrites the other? hm

[hidden sable]

check if theres room

[chrome widget]

There should inherently be room. For example, if you use two or more rare tags, it spends rare tags up to your number of shop slots

[red flower]

that's weird, what's the code

i have one like that in my mod and it works fine

[chrome widget]

Basically trying to do the same as the rarity tags but using a custom pool

    local women_in_possession = {}
    local women_count = 0
    for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        local results = FnwkFindWomen(new_item.key)
        if (results.girl or results.trans or results.woman) and not women_in_possession[v.config.center.key] then
            women_count = women_count + 1
            women_in_possession[v.config.center.key] = true
        end
    end

    if #G.P_CENTER_POOLS['fnwk_women'] > women_count then 
        new_woman = create_card('fnwk_women', context.area, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'fnwk_biased_tag')
        create_shop_card_ui(new_woman, 'Joker', context.area)
        new_woman.states.visible = false
        tag:yep('+', G.C.RED, function()
            new_woman:start_materialize()
            new_woman.ability.couponed = true
            new_woman:set_cost()
            return true
        end)
        tag.triggered = true
        return new_woman
    else
        tag:nope()
        tag.triggered = true
        return nil
    end
end```

Config type is correct

[hidden sable]

women_in_possession is crazy 😭

[red flower]

hmm i dont see it

this is mine btw
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/bfe4f9bfc4d38135c652aeed94b0942ad0a1f736/src/others/Tags.lua#L30

[chrome widget]

The rare tag uses "Rares in Possession" so I decided to keep it because I thought it'd be funny

[hidden sable]

it is only with this post i realize you made vremade

[pastel torrent]

method to detect if card are spade, diamond, ect?

anyone has it?

[red flower]

:3

[hidden sable]

i used it once oen sec

[pastel torrent]

thanks

[red flower]

card:is_suit("Hearts")
etc

[hidden sable]

local v = context.other_card
if v:is_suit("Hearts") or v:is_suit("Diamonds") then

[pastel torrent]

thanks

[hidden sable]

only works in context.individual

[chrome widget]

OOP wait

[hidden sable]

since im scoring per card

[chrome widget]

it's probably because I declared new_woman as a global

Yep, that was it

[hidden sable]

how can i add custom badges

[chrome widget]

Women are now available for purchase

[hidden sable]

CRAZY 😭

[red flower]

local new woman available

[sonic cedar]

in my area????

[chrome widget]

Objectively this shouldn't be a good tag but since you can get both Blueprint and Brainstorm from it..........

shrug

[red flower]

in your cardarea

[formal quest]

How do I access the scored cards in hand?

[hidden sable]

this item isnt op right

[red flower]

context.scoring_hand

[formal quest]

Death but better

[hidden sable]

how does one change hand size again

[red flower]

G.hand:change_size(mod)

[maiden phoenix]

Me when I ask N how to find happiness in life and he tells me 'self.ability.happiness = true'

[red flower]

happiness*

unless thunk misspelled that too

[merry raven]

How do I change a Joker's pos in the calculate function

[hidden sable]

not op enough, its honestly one of the worse cards

[maiden phoenix]

Thanks for fixing my code N 👍

"srite" 💔

biggest lie ive ever been told

[formal quest]

I'm too used to C#

[hidden sable]

the only language i know is lua so im thankfully exempt from programming ptsd

[gilded narwhal]

hey whats the variable for your current hand size

[hidden sable]

G.hand_size maybe?

dont count on it

hows my organization?

[hidden sable]

indesicive cards

[normal crest]

wait until you find out about using multiple files

[manic rune]

has someone figured this out yet? :3

[chrome widget]

My mod is roughly 90-95% done programming wise. Probably more like 85% on the art side

Very exciting!!!

[hidden sable]

i found out about it a while ago but i was already too deep

[unkempt thicket]

I don't think any of the mods i'm working on is over 50%

I mean one is art wise

[chrome widget]

I'm primarily be a programmer so art is not my main contribution to my mod because art sucks and I hate it

[hidden sable]

i don't have any plans for my mod so idk how close i am to finishing lol

[hidden sable]

real

my art sucks so i mostly just import images into cards

[unkempt thicket]

Same, but i want to get better at art so i suppose it's a good thing i still have a lot left in some of my solo mods

[chrome widget]

I'm a decent ish artist but I hate drawing so I don't do it

[unkempt thicket]

I also consider my self a decent artist

[hidden sable]

i'm only good at art for very few things

like ui

dunno how to program it but i'm good at making it

[chrome widget]

I can do pretty good 2D illustrations, pixel art is new for me but I've made some solid attempts

[unkempt thicket]

I'd say i'm good at 3d design, and decent at 2d all together

[chrome widget]

Probably my favorite one I've done of the few I've contributed

[unkempt thicket]

But just design i can barely make a 3d asset T_T

[hidden sable]

that's really good actually

this is my best art, really bad but decent

[formal quest]

I'm going in from C# with very little lua knowledge. Is this code right or is it complete nonsense?

[unkempt thicket]

The one that's my favorite and the best i think I've done i did a while a go for sdm_0's mod

[chrome widget]

One note is that you don't need parenthesis for outermost conditions in Lua

[unkempt thicket]

This one

[chrome widget]

Otherwise it looks pretty good? Though capitalizing local variables or parameters isn't typically the style for Lua (as with Card)

[hidden sable]

man yall good artists

[chrome widget]

It conflicts with the greater object type, Card

[chrome widget]

My creative practice is powered by lesbianism, mental illness, diet coke, and a seething hatred for late stage capitalism.

[formal quest]

Is what I did the right way for a joker to get information about a scored card?

[unkempt thicket]

I just see what other art does and try to do similar stuff, it rarely turns out as i wanted though.

[chrome widget]

For rank, you need to do card.base.value for the key of the rank, or you can use card:get_id() to return an id for the rank that can be modified by hooking the function

The keys are 2-10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace, and the IDs are 2-14 (for vanilla)

[formal quest]

How can I get the numerical value of the rank, like the base chip value?

[chrome widget]

That would be SMODS.Ranks[card.base.value]. nominal I think

I think the nominal is also scored on the card itself but idr

[gilded narwhal]

it was not G.hand_size

[formal quest]

Card.base.nominal?

[lyric maple]

got this error while doing a rebate/idol-style rank check

local function reset_kls_magenta_rank() -- line 451
    G.GAME.current_round.kls_mg_card = { rank = 'Ace' }
    local valid_mg_cards = {}
    for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if not SMODS.has_no_rank(playing_card) then
            valid_mg_cards[#valid_mg_cards + 1] = playing_card
        end
    end
    local mg_card = pseudorandom_element(valid_mg_cards, 'magenta')
    if mg_card then
        G.GAME.current_round.kls_mg_card.rank = mg_card.base.value
        G.GAME.current_round.kls_mg_card.id = mg_card.base.id
    end
end -- line 464

[chrome widget]

Might be?

[unkempt thicket]

G.hand.card_limit

[chrome widget]

Also I was mistyping, it's card.base.value, not card.base.rank

[gilded narwhal]

are you sure bc when I try to print it returns nil

[unkempt thicket]

Oh i forgot the config, it's G.hand.config.card_limit

[formal quest]

How do I use the debug mod? Trying to spawn my joker to test

[gilded narwhal]

peak ty

[sour garden]

is it possible to have a joker blueprint multiple jokers at once? or is it limited to only 1

[unkempt thicket]

Yes

[hidden sable]

what's the weight to make my booster pack as rare as a spectral pack

[formal quest]

Well here's my first crash. "Attempted to index field 'base' (a nil value)"

[sour garden]

find it in the collection and hold down ctrl and press 3

[hidden sable]

thanks

[tranquil gull]

how would i replace a child node of something in the node's config.func

[sour garden]

would i just index 2 jokers instead of 1 and have a second return

[tranquil gull]

currently i have

function(e)
        if not e.children[1].config.is_thing then
            e.children[1]:remove()
            e.children[1] = nil
            e.children[1] = Node{n=G.UIT.T, config={is_thing = true, text = "meow", colour = G.C.RED, shadow = true}}
        end
    end

but that doesn't seem to be actually doing anything question mark?

[crisp coral]

i think the first param G.FUNCs is e which is the node itself

oh

[vague crest]

weird question but how would i check in a joker if a specific voucher is redeemed?

trying to fix an edge case

[crisp coral]

try removing Node and just having the table

[tranquil gull]

engine/ui.lua:541: attempt to call method 'draw' (a nil value)

[unkempt thicket]

The 2nd would be an extra to the first so something like this joker1 = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, target_joker1, context) joker2 = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, target_joker2, context) joker1.extra = joker2 return joker1

[tranquil gull]

@crisp coral this is why i did Node in the first place

[crisp coral]

guh?

[tranquil gull]

when i'm doing Node, it doesn't crash, but also just. doesn't draw at all

[formal quest]

How do I get the rank of a card like Raised Fist does?

[tranquil gull]

.ability.nominal iirc

no

card.base.nominal

[formal quest]

I tried card.base.nominal and it did this

[tranquil gull]

i fear this will be a lot more complicated

check you're indexing the right thing

[crisp coral]

try e.UIBox:add_child(table, e) after killing the child

[tranquil gull]

but i just set it to nil

e.children[1]:remove()
e.children[1].UIBox:add_child{...}

like this?

[crisp coral]

i fixed it

use e as the main one

[formal quest]

Well that part works now. I just had to change Card to card. My effect gives +0 mult but it doesn't crash so that's good.

[tranquil gull]

seems e.UIBox is nil

[crisp coral]

??? what's the main object

[formal quest]

What could be causing this to give +0 mult?

[tranquil gull]

i'm adding func = "my_thing" to the config of a G.UIT.C containing the child i wanna replace

nevermind it's not e.UIBox?

[formal quest]

I'm defining both highest and lowest as nil initially, but it's supposed to set them to a number

[crisp coral]

huhhh i thought e would be the uibox of the column node

[tranquil gull]

define them as -math.huge adn math.huge

it is

uibox does exist i was wrong

something else is fucky

[formal quest]

What's the fastest way to reload after code changes?

[crisp coral]

hold m, which is the same as closing and reopening balala

[formal quest]

mmmm

[tranquil gull]

you know, i don't think that's right

[vague crest]

making a joker which stops planets and planet packs from appearing, but the booster pack specific code is crashing when i pick the joker up, what would the best way be to go about this?

[crisp coral]

uhm... hooray???

[formal quest]

Changed but it's still +0 mult

[tranquil gull]

no, swap those

[hidden sable]

any synergies yall can think of if you could put jokers in your consumable slots

only one i can think of is brainstorm

not taking up a joker slot to trigger

[formal quest]

Still +0

[tranquil gull]

hm

idk then

[tranquil gull]

i'm trying to replace the operator node (the X for multiplying mult and chips)

{n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", func = "operator_node_shit"}, nodes={
  {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = "X", lang = G.LANGUAGES['en-us'], scale = scale*2, colour = G.C.UI_MULT, shadow = true}},
}},

operator_node_shit is what's being called here

<@&1133519078540185692>

[formal quest]

I take out the nil check and it gives me "attempt to compare nil with number"

[tranquil gull]

hm

[formal quest]

Even though it's never nil

[tranquil gull]

weird

i'd say double check that with an assert

[formal quest]

As soon as the card is selected btw

[tranquil gull]

it's probably not being done in context.scoring_hand then

look elsewhere

[formal quest]

Where else?

[maiden phoenix]

context.scoring_hand is too wide of a calculation check, it exists in many calculation contexts

[formal quest]

My entire mod is this one joker

[loud loom]

Chavales agreguen un mod donde ce pueda acer el amor zizi ai ke acerlo

🥵✋️

[maiden phoenix]

Try adding and context.joker_main

[formal parrot]

This won’t work

Card reference to the joker

[maiden phoenix]

Oh that too

[formal parrot]

Not playing catds

[formal quest]

What will that do? I'm trying to get the ranks of the cards while they're being scored, then use them when the joker is scored to output the mult

[formal parrot]

What are you trying to do

[formal quest]

^

[maiden phoenix]

context.joker_main is generally when jokers give their values like chip and mult

[formal parrot]

So you want the sum of ranks as mult

?

[formal quest]

The math is different but that would probably be the same approach

[formal parrot]

That sounds easy enough

1 second

You’ll use context.before to calculate and context .joker_main to give mult

[formal quest]

So before is before scoring but after hitting play hand?

[formal parrot]

So do you want scored cards ? Or just played card

[formal quest]

Scored

[formal parrot]

Yes

Okay

For _,v in impairs(context.scoring_hand) do
Card.ability.extra.mult= Card.ability.extra.mult+v.base.nominal,```

Use this to calculate the mult bonus

Have a variable in config called mult

[maiden phoenix]

Inpairs typo

[formal parrot]

Return {mult=card.ability.extra.mult,
}
Card.ability.extra.mult=0,
— for reset mult each hand :)```

[solid grotto]

This bug is happening that wasn't happening before and I can't figure out why. The joker is supposed to prevent death like mr bones but it softlocks

Any ideas would be appreciated

[formal parrot]

@formal quest

This should 100% work

[hidden sable]

is there any way to draw a selected card from the deck first before any other card

[maiden phoenix]

Once you return something it won't execute what's afterward

[formal parrot]

Yes

[hidden sable]

is it easy?

[maiden phoenix]

A lot of mods do it

So ig

Idr the names tho

[hidden sable]

praying it is then

[solid grotto]

The top card is always known so you probably just change that variable

[hidden sable]

oh awesome

can i change it mid draw

[solid grotto]

You know how misprint tells you the top card in your deck

Idk how exactly it works

[hidden sable]

like draw one card

change the top card

draw another

change top card again

[solid grotto]

Hmm

[formal parrot]

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/e244ce225a1ed23371784b1d4573a376c2e9e98e/modules/content/jokers.lua#L1177

This is how aiko does it

[solid grotto]

If you look in some mod like cryptid with a billion jokers I bet it'll be in there somewhere lol

[formal parrot]

But it cycles through different cards

You need to find the draw function and edit it

Should be easy

[hidden sable]

my end goal is to have a card enhancement that makes sure it's always drawn first

[formal parrot]

Well

You see problem is

[crisp coral]

function(e)
    if e.children[1] and not e.children[1].config.is_thing then
        e.children[1]:remove()
        e.children[1] = nil
        e.UIBox:add_child({n=G.UIT.T, config={is_thing = true, text = "meow", scale = 0.8, colour = G.C.RED, shadow = true}}, e)
    end
end

@tranquil gull fuckin hell

[formal parrot]

Cards dont have unique ids so you can’t draw your specific card

You can do

Draw enhanced cards first

[hidden sable]

the pillar

[formal parrot]

With check

Has_enhancement

[formal quest]

That's helpful but the main thing I'm trying to deal with is this. I get a "attempt to compare nil with number" before scoring starts. I think I need a different context

[formal parrot]

Because

Card is the joker

[hidden sable]

yeah i think im gonna just scan the full deck and if any cards have the enhancement draw them to hand, and after ive looped through every card ill resume the games normal events and draw the real cards to hand

[formal parrot]

Not the playing cards

[formal parrot]

.

And highest is nil aswell

[crisp coral]

you forgot to return true in your event

[hidden sable]

might have to make a hook for this

[formal parrot]

(Might )😭

[hidden sable]

hook onto what though is the question

context?

is there a context for drawing cards to hand?

[formal parrot]

Check aiko’s

Definitely can find some shenanigans There

[formal parrot]

🤷

[hidden sable]

isn't making alot of sense

tbh

[formal parrot]

Its called shenanigans for a reason

It cycles through drawn

[solid grotto]

Oh

[formal quest]

Still getting nil with number

[solid grotto]

Lol yeah that makes it work

I know practically nothing under the hood with this game I'm going purely off of how vanilla jokers work
Idk what that return true even actually does

I should've noticed that though because it's in every other joker that expires

[formal parrot]

Is “Highest” defined ?

And lowest

[formal parrot]

I rather just use a for instead of individual like i showed you
