[drowsy heath]

Well

[hidden sable]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind and G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP

[candid sleet]

no clue what i did wrong here, tried adding a custom deck texture

[drowsy heath]

Hi ratmilk things still keeping clean

[hidden sable]

i hopwe to add jokers to mod mod now 😭

but first

i need to go back

and fix the config for all of my consumables

[drowsy heath]

Oh damn

I've been working on a few more think I'm on 15 jokers now

And my ass artist isn't replying 🥲

I would find someone else but this person is doing it for me for free sooooo ill be patient

[hard mica]

Thank you indeed

I might've found out how to fix the materializing when in round

[candid sleet]

what am i supposed to use instead of smods.init, i see its outdated

[maiden phoenix]

I love N so much wish I had a N in my username

[red flower]

nothing

[maiden phoenix]

This didn't work btw, maybe cuz both of them are on the same context? idk

[red flower]

can u show me the debug prints

oh

i meant inside merge_effects

[maiden phoenix]

I removed it, I just get repetitions warning spam

[midnight coyote]

how do i modify SMODS.joker itself

[maiden phoenix]

Oh oops

[candid sleet]

have you got any ideas for this then N'?

[midnight coyote]

define SMODS.INIT first

[wintry solar]

this should only be from jokers that are giving bad returns in repetition contexts anyway

[midnight coyote]

SMODS.INIT = {}

[maiden phoenix]

Well since it doesn't really have a check for repetitions..

funny enough it triggers on each context call

[red flower]

replace all of that for SMODS.Atlas

[red flower]

no

[proud depot]

how do i get a jokers rarity? tried card.ability.rarity but it says its nil

[drowsy heath]

The last thing I did this morning before I went to bed, was done so poorly 🤣 I need to not work on this when I'm abt to pass out

[red flower]

card.config.center.rarity

[midnight coyote]

k

hey how do i put code into vanilla jokers

[red flower]

take_ownership?

[midnight coyote]

i want to modify the calculate function of certain vanilla jokers to let them do things they couldn’t otherwise do

[midnight coyote]

what exactly does this do? does it preserve prior values or will i have to reimplement them myself

i don’t intend to replace things, more so add on

[red flower]

it preserves anything you don't replace

[maiden phoenix]

Ok it works now thanks 👍 I'll record a video to demonstrate the thing

[candid sleet]

uh i tried this but i don't see any of my custom playing cards in game

[midnight coyote]

i need to mess with the calculate function

to add an extra thing

[red flower]

iirc the original calculate still runs if you don't return anything

[wintry solar]

that's correct

[midnight coyote]

what i need is to have it check a condition and then turn itself into a different joker if that condition is fulfilled, preferably maintaining scaling

[red flower]

oh for that you need SMODS.DeckSkin

[candid sleet]

thanks

[midnight coyote]

can i have a joker just turn itself into a different one, and paste over the config values?

if i format it identically

[maiden phoenix]

The joker card message is weird tho

[hidden sable]

hopefully because i love your card idea

[red flower]

im glad people are using merge_effects

[hidden sable]

whats that

isit for hooks

because im still using the outdated stuff then

[red flower]

it's to combine calculate returns

[hidden sable]

oh

[red flower]

for example to blueprint two cards

[maiden phoenix]

I'm mostly trying cuz it seem weird

[midnight coyote]

bump

[maiden phoenix]

This is their calculate func btw, first sapphire then the other

[drowsy heath]

would this be too op ?

[hidden sable]

no thats just hanging chad but better

you cna get mult after your previous mult

[drowsy heath]

exactly but is it too op for a common

[hidden sable]

so its good

[drowsy heath]

do i make it rare or uncommon maybe

[hidden sable]

id boost it to uncommon at least

[north lodge]

No, this is worse than hanging chad in a lot of situations so I would not say it is OP. Especially when you consider that hanging chad is balanced in the multiplayer mod to be exactly this.

[hidden sable]

why is hanging chad balanced?

[drowsy heath]

i also wanted to make dusk but first hand so ill call it dawn

[north lodge]

(or rather, first two cards, not last two)

[red flower]

try with message_card instead of card

[maiden phoenix]

oop

[north lodge]

Because Photochad and just chad + glass card is incredibly powerful.

[maiden phoenix]

Btw is the xmult chips order something I cannot control?

[red flower]

you would need to order the tables

[hidden sable]

2 glass cards

[maiden phoenix]

I see

[north lodge]

That requires having 2 glass cards over just 1

That's the difference. Having 1 card to do the thing is a lot easier than having 2

And for the low price of just finding a justice card in the shop while you already have chad, it was incredibly strong in multiplayer.

[drowsy heath]

so this isnt even more overpowered ?

being last grants access to the rest of the mult

making it larger

[north lodge]

I would argue it is not stronger than hanging chad overall

[hidden sable]

also i notice alot of your cards titles and descriptions are all lowercase, is this intentional or temporary?

[drowsy heath]

temp

i plan on making it look nicer later

[hidden sable]

ight

if its in the locale you can edit them really easility

[formal parrot]

Maybe you wanna edit that text

Aswell

[hidden sable]

true

[drowsy heath]

yeah thanks to gruelling labour last night im all gud

[hidden sable]

you can even send other people the locale to edit

or make a new locale in a different language

but the different language part is rearly used despite localization being made for it

[drowsy heath]

idk many languages only english french spanish and japanese

[formal parrot]

😭people really don’t take discord seriously,. Wtf is Ratmilk

[drowsy heath]

and im light on spanish and japanese

[modern kindle]

you despise whimsy

[hidden sable]

thats 3 more than i know

[sweet nimbus]

is there a way I can make Spectral Packs always contain a certain Spectral card?

[formal parrot]

Yeah dilly the dillster

[formal parrot]

Yes

It’s actually easy

[drowsy heath]

dilatro..... dihlatro hehehe

[hidden sable]

imagine goat milk, but instead of a goat, its a rat

[modern kindle]

my name is peak because its 2 of my irl nicknames

[formal parrot]

So you wanna code it to a joker

Or a voucher

[modern kindle]

[hidden sable]

that doesnt make my name sound any better i jsut wanted you to think of that

[formal parrot]

Or a consumable

[sweet nimbus]

A deck effect actually

[formal parrot]

Yeah that could work

[hidden sable]

black hole?

[drowsy heath]

what made u decide on ur user it is quite erm odd

[solid mesa]

tbh, sounds funny in spanish

[modern kindle]

what it sound like in spanish

[gleaming yew]

Do these seem OP for Uncommon Jokers?
Each scored card with no Enhancement adds +3 Chips to this Joker. Each scored card with the Bonus or Glass Enhancement adds X1 Mult to this Joker.
Copies Chips of last played hand, adds the first 2 digits of that value to Mult. (i.e. 33333 adds 33)

[drowsy heath]

maybe a rare idk

[hidden sable]

funny story, i was palying levelhead and randomized my nickname and it generated FratMilk, and i thought RatMilk sounded funnier so i went with that

[formal parrot]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/fbfeb4d2e14111c9c47706f71cc25c7b50e021c9/src/vouchers.lua#L262

This is how “telescope” does ir

You need to change it up a little

[sweet nimbus]

Thanks!

[drowsy heath]

damn yk i cant lie thats a better story than mine

[hidden sable]

how balanced ylal think ts is

[primal robin]

Oh no again

[modern kindle]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[solid mesa]

funny :3

[hidden sable]

YES KING!!!!!!!!!!

[modern kindle]

shoot him

[primal robin]

gottem

[formal parrot]

Chat i was reading that was rude

[karmic creek]

i made a glass card and purchased two oops all sixes him

[modern kindle]

thanks my shooter youre my goat

[drowsy heath]

i was on steam and my friend wanted to stream but my old user was master of aids so i looked at the keyboard and typed first thing that came to mind, boom krada zoniko became my name on everything

[hidden sable]

anyways how balanced yall this this is

[modern kindle]

i wonder how this would pair with my mod which lets cards get the eternal sticker, thus making an eternal glass

[formal parrot]

Pretty balanced

[hidden sable]

horrible because i dont check for eternal stickers

[modern kindle]

i take ownership of glass so, should negate that

[drowsy heath]

how does one become creative and think of new ideas

[formal parrot]

Actually i think the art would look better if it was a vignette

[hidden sable]

my mod just destroys the card

[solid mesa]

dont think, just imagine

[maiden phoenix]

Found out doing this works, hopefully this wasn't a one-off succesful thing

[hidden sable]

no increasing chances, it just destroys it

[maiden phoenix]

Btw ty message_card worked

[drowsy heath]

that isnt helping i keep thinking of coffee coz i want coffee but im all out

[hidden sable]

make a coffee card

[solid mesa]

then think in coffeen't

[hidden sable]

make a consumable called coffee beans that gives X1 mult to any coffee joker in hand when used

[drowsy heath]

oooo i like that

[gaunt thistle]

evening chat

how goes your days

[drowsy heath]

then i just make different coffee cards like latte and frape

[hidden sable]

lovely business cat

[gaunt thistle]

rat milk

[solid mesa]

catnt

[maiden phoenix]

Like this meth

[gaunt thistle]

you should probably get one

[hidden sable]

you could, maybe make them based off food jokers

[drowsy heath]

only thing is how do i define them as coffee cards

[maiden phoenix]

Pretty proud of myself w this one (tho I was heavily helped)

[hidden sable]

like decaf is like popcorn but +60 mult

[gaunt thistle]

interesting

[solid mesa]

i have 3

[gaunt thistle]

** one more

[drowsy heath]

^^^

[gaunt thistle]

I do need to make some coffee, thanks for reminding me

late night at work so

[solid mesa]

i dont have from where to rob another

[drowsy heath]

ofc ofc

[gaunt thistle]

cat distribution system

[hidden sable]

wdym

[gaunt thistle]

oh wait this is dev chat

im sorry

[formal parrot]

In this economy ?

[solid mesa]

yea i got the first five from that

[hidden sable]

no we need this in dev chat please

[solid mesa]

they probably got tired

[drowsy heath]

so for the coffee beans card to work it needs to have detected a coffee card, how would it know what is and what isnt

[hidden sable]

make a group i think

never used groups before so

we need to contact a trusted developer

[drowsy heath]

yes we do i need this its a gud gud idea

[hidden sable]

my idea for the coffee beans is

multiply a coffee cards stat by x1.5

on use

all coffee held in hand

man i need to add more jokers

welp

holojobo cmere

im turning you into a card

[modern kindle]

add phillip and what he does is he wins

[hidden sable]

my mod is based off a game

[modern kindle]

yea the game balatro cause thats what youre modding

silly

[hidden sable]

thats it

[red flower]

has anyone made a balatro inspired mod

[hidden sable]

vanilla+ mods in question:

[modern kindle]

i want to make a N inspired mod

[drowsy heath]

same

[red flower]

i love pokemon

[hidden sable]

adds 50 slightly different variations of the letter N

normal n, upside down n, sideways n, slightly transparent n, invisible n

[modern kindle]

ive never actually played a pokemon game beyond like a very beginning

i do intend to start soon since my game collection is on its way to handhelds now

[hidden sable]

small n, big n, wide n, tall n

[drowsy heath]

so how does one define the action of playing the first hand

[modern kindle]

but the gba pokemon games are so costly

[red flower]

i hope you enjoy them

[hidden sable]

just the first ahnd of the game?

[drowsy heath]

of the round yeah

[hidden sable]

whast the end goal, ill go look for the context

[drowsy heath]

to make a reverse dusk called dawn instead of last hand its first hand

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/fbfeb4d2e14111c9c47706f71cc25c7b50e021c9/src/jokers.lua#L1314

[modern kindle]

i hope so too!

i got the n64 pokemon games
stadium 1 and 2 but idk what those are, as well as snap but im again unfamiliar with snap also

[hidden sable]

just copy dusk and make its hand check into a static check

or copy dna

[drowsy heath]

... idk how

[hidden sable]

if context.before and context.main_eval and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and #context.full_hand == 1 then

copied right from N'

[red flower]

only the hands_played part

[hidden sable]

yeah

like just if context.before and context.main_eval and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then

that means first hand

[drowsy heath]

thank you

[hard mica]

Thank you lots

[pure salmon]

can i make a challnge such that you can't play specific hands

[red flower]

you can but i don't think it's very straightforward because i dont think challenges have calculate

[maiden phoenix]

No they don't sadly

[drowsy heath]

so erm dawn isnt working

want no hold on

[modern kindle]

challenge calculate smods when

[red flower]

mod calculate when

[drowsy heath]

nope it not working for some reason

ill try figure ts out fgs

[stiff quiver]

how rare is a weight of 0.005 for a pack?

[hidden sable]

almsot 3 times as rare as a mega spectral apck

[hidden sable]

send error and code

this a channel for helping developers

not for uhhh

saying we have problems

[drowsy heath]

its not an error it just doesnt do what it should and the code doesnt say owt is wrong so idk why its not doing anything

[hidden sable]

ok then uhhh

man we really need a flowchart for solving issues

send code

and describe what it IS doing

[drowsy heath]

    key = "joker18",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    atlas = 'joker',
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    pos = { x = 4, y = 7 },
    config = { extra = { repetitions = 1 } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.main_eval and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end
    end
}
``` quite litterally nothing its acting as a plaseholder rn

[red flower]

repetitions have to be in the repetition context

[hidden sable]

havent used repetitions tbh, but uhhh, i think they have to be in their own context

[drowsy heath]

where would i put it then

coz im confused abt this,

[red flower]

check how dusk does it

[drowsy heath]

THE COMMAS ARE GETTING TO MY TYPING

[hidden sable]

@red flower cant he define context.repetitions along with context.before?

[drowsy heath]

oh yeah hold on

[red flower]

no

[hidden sable]

damn

[drowsy heath]

i was abt to type that

[hidden sable]

@drowsy heath looks like you can jsut edit that last part to be G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0

[drowsy heath]

doesnt sound like a bad idea ill lyk if it works

[median grove]

is there a way to have an enhancement sprite that draws over parts of the card? i want to cover the card's suit icon thats right under its rank

[drowsy heath]

im gunna order some ice cream i need somet to cool me down

and dawn works now

[wintry solar]

oh mod calculate was a thing, right

[gaunt thistle]

https://github.com/thenumbernine/langfix-lua

[hard mica]

so im trying to make it so a buffon pack materializes after a blind if the objective is completed during a blind but not sure how to postpone that buffon pack until the player ended the blind n stuff

just got this

not sure how to continue

[maiden phoenix]

Why not save it in a variable and trigger it when in shop?

[modern kindle]

we do have context.starting_shop dont we

[hard mica]

like this entire code save it in a var?

[maiden phoenix]

You could create a free booster in the shop

[hard mica]

i guess

how do i do that ?

[hidden sable]

check how tags does it with rare jokers

[maiden phoenix]

It's how I do it but with arcana packs

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{
                    func = function()
                    local _booster = SMODS.add_booster_to_shop('p_arcana_normal_'..(math.random(1,4)))
                    _booster.cost = 0
                    return true
                end})

Wow discord destroyed that code

[hidden sable]

yeah

just screenshot it atp

[drowsy heath]

does the vanilla remade have an example of groups ?

[maiden phoenix]

It was for easy copy/paste

[hard mica]

and for buffon pack is just p_buffoon_normal?

[drowsy heath]

so i can do the coffee thing

[red flower]

wdym
object types?

[hidden sable]

also chat i just got done fixing all of my consumables so now i can start work on shit

[maiden phoenix]

p_buffoon_normal_1 or p_buffoon_normal_2

[hidden sable]

there's something with "groups" idk

he wants to "group" his coffee jokers to refer to them

[red flower]

yeah ObjectTypes

[hard mica]

and for the mega?

[red flower]

there's no example of that in vanillaremade

[drowsy heath]

yeah i was gunna explain it very crappy

[drowsy heath]

oh poo

where would i find that

[maiden phoenix]

p_buffoon_mega_1

[hard mica]

alright thank you

[red flower]

i usually use toga's mod as an example

[drowsy heath]

wait could i use cryptid as an example with the candy jokers

i think its cryptid that has it

[red flower]

yeah cryptid has the food jokers too

[drowsy heath]

okok ill do that then

okay i cant find anything about how the thing was made

i found where the spooky jokers are

[red flower]

search for SMODS.ObjectType in the code

[drowsy heath]

oh wait you can do that

[red flower]

you can literally search the entirety of github for it

[hidden sable]

though there was something like group_text

[red flower]

group_key? for boosters?

[buoyant shard]

How do you create a random tag? Do I use add_tag() or create_card()?

[faint yacht]

kind = 'string' to group Booster Packs.

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/bfe4f9bfc4d38135c652aeed94b0942ad0a1f736/src/utils.lua#L242

[hidden sable]

idk i thought there was a way to group jokers together

[red flower]

yeah
objecttypes

maybe you're thinking of pools but that uses objecttypes

[real night]

like from cryptid

cause it's not really it's own hand it's just an Ascension. of 5oak

[faint yacht]

...does the context.scoring_name internally remain the same?

[tall wharf]

shadering

[hidden sable]

maybe

[hidden sable]

too stupid to make shaders

[hidden sable]

for my mod i might takes cryptids hand type system since i'll have jokers that add highlighted hand size

[broken cliff]

[hidden sable]

xchips not xChips

[midnight coyote]

how do i set different loc_txt if the card is locked

[broken cliff]

🤓

[hidden sable]

there's something for that

i think there's an example in localizations

[tawdry oriole]

how can you check if there's a specific rank in your deck?

[hidden sable]

for loop with a check for rank, idk the check function tho

[daring fern]

local passed
for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if v:get_id() == rank then
        passed = true
        break
    end
end

[midnight coyote]

found it

[tawdry oriole]

thanks a lot

[drowsy heath]

okat so i have a card defined as a coffee card now how do i make my joker detect that and gain 1x mult per coffee joker owned

coz i dont think cryptid has an example

[red flower]

card.config.center.pools.objecttypekey iirc

[hidden sable]

i think you should give all coffee cards a config of extra = { coffeeboost }

and have beans multiply the coffee boost

[drowsy heath]

what

[hidden sable]

like say you have decaf right

it gives +60 mult

[drowsy heath]

yeah

[hidden sable]

every hand you play substracy 5 mult

make the mult into the config

so when you use coffee beans

you can make the consumable give the coffee cards more mult

by multiplying the config coffeeboost by 1.5

[drowsy heath]

THATS A REALLY GUD IDEA WTF

i am lost on where to start that but cryo is out the window here comes coffee jars

[hidden sable]

make a new consumable type for coffee beans

[drowsy heath]

ill just use the cryo consumable and change it out

easier to make 1 than 2 consumable types

keep it simple

[pastel torrent]

    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card then
        local v = context.other_card
        if v.key == 'v1' then
            return {xmult = 2}

            if #SMODS.find_card("j_dark_joker", true) > 0 then
                result.mult = (result.mult or 0) + 50
                result.chips = (result.chips or 0) + 100
            end
        end
    end
end,
}```

im lost lol

[hidden sable]

and make like 1 coffee bean give 1.5 and enforcer give 2

[daring fern]

You have an if statement after the return

[pastel torrent]

ohhhhh

so the return all at the bottom

lemme try

[pastel torrent]

better like that?

[primal robin]

That's crazy, imagine making videos about development in Roblox in Lua, and then make mistakes like this

[daring fern]

Yes, but result doesn't seem to exist here.

Also v.key includes j_ and mod prefix.

[pastel torrent]

done

[pastel torrent]

oh thanks for clarification

ty

[pastel torrent]

j_modPrefix_v1?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pastel torrent]

I usually code simple ui

not this kind of stuff

[pastel torrent]

alr alr

[primal robin]

Well, let me fix it for you.

local v = context.other_card

local result = {}
if v.key == "j_dark_v1" then
  result.xmult = 2
end
if #SMODS.find_card("j_dark_v1") > 0 then
  result.mult = (result.mult or 0) + 50
  result.chips = (result.mult or 0) + 50
end

return result

[pastel torrent]

oh okay I guess

thanks lol

[primal robin]

Lua in Roblox also controlled by Lua

[pastel torrent]

luau*

modified version

but

same thing that's true

[primal robin]

Core the same basically

[pastel torrent]

that's what I said here!

[primal robin]

Like how did you manage make UI with mistakes like this, it's basic level of understanding how language works

Nothings against, just curious

[pastel torrent]

exams in 2 days, its 11pm and im tired as hell

prob fatigue

lol

[primal robin]

Fair enough for me

[pastel torrent]

lol

[drowsy heath]

im not a man...?🥲

[tall wharf]

😭

[hidden sable]

i too used to do development in roblox and i still make mistakes like this

[hidden sable]

you only are a real man if you do not speak ill of smods documentation

[drowsy heath]

it sucks

[hidden sable]

real

[tawdry oriole]

how can i make a custom deck start with a custom suit?

[midnight coyote]

my overclock unlocking function works!!

woohoo

[modern kindle]

granting it boosts it otherwise would not have?

[midnight coyote]

how do i turn a joker into a different one

do i just have to add the new card and remove the existing one

i want to do it to where the card flips, and then comes back as something else

[faint yacht]

:set_ability

[midnight coyote]

i dont get it

could you explain

card:set_ability('j_new_joker_key')

?

[red flower]

yes

[midnight coyote]

okay

thanks

will it finish calculate despite being considered a 'new card'

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('smiley',
        {

            config = {ext_ovr = {faces_destroyed = 0},
            calculate = function(self,card,context)
                if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then
                    for _,removed_card in ipairs(context.removed) do
                        if removed_card:is_face() then

                            card.ability.ext_ovr.faces_destroyed = card.ability.ext_ovr.faces_destroyed + 1
                        end

                    end
                    if card.ability.ext_ovr.faces_destroyed >= 20 then
                        card:flip()

                        
                        end


                end

            end,


        },
        true,
)

is there a syntax error in this im missing

OH

im missing a bracket

so how would i add to the config table

rather than overwrite it

[daring fern]

You could hook card:set_ability or you could add it in add_to_deck I think.

[midnight coyote]

huh? how would i do it with add_to_deck

i need to add a value that tracks face cards destroyed for the overclock condition

[plush jewel]

How to make joker check if player used a discard, destroyed card or sold/destroyed joker itself

[midnight coyote]

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

[daring fern]

card.ability.ext_ovr = {}
card.ability.ext_ovr.faces_destroyed = 0

[midnight coyote]

should have all you need in there

[midnight coyote]

ah i see

[drowsy heath]

MY ARTIST IS ALIVE YESS I CAN SOON HAVE ART FOR MY JOKERS

[plush jewel]

I want joker to reincarnate, replacing other joker in hand when it gets destroyed or sold

[drowsy heath]

Thats evil

But funny

[plush jewel]

rn i can't manage it to make it detect destroyed crads or discrads

[drowsy heath]

What about using cryptid as an example, they have selling cards to make one and replacing cards

[plush jewel]

hmm which one

[drowsy heath]

Like erm the one that replaces all sold cards with a jolly joker

I cant remember the name of it for the life of me tho

I think it is that anyway

[plush jewel]

ill check

[drowsy heath]

This one has kinda the idea

[floral spindle]

how do I stop this from happening (it should apply negative to more than just one joker)

            if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_lucky") then -- if card is lucky then
                if pseudorandom('Bord') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then --if odds succeeds then
                    if SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true) then
                        editionless_jokers = SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true)
                        eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(editionless_jokers, pseudoseed('bord')) -- this whole thing just finds jokers without an edition
                        return {                        
                            message = "Negative!", -- makes a funny message to signify that a card is negative
                            
                            func = function()
                            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                                func = function()
                                eligible_card:set_edition('e_negative', true)

                                    return true
                                end

                            }))
                        end
                        }
                    end
                end
            end
        end

[drowsy heath]

What exactly is happening ?

[floral spindle]

lucky cards have a 1 in 100 chance to make a random joker negative

[drowsy heath]

Instead they all said negative and didn't do anything ?

[floral spindle]

all the lucky cards attempted to apply negative to one joker

[tall wharf]

i love writing shaders

[drowsy heath]

Oh

Erm was it a one time event or have you tested it multiple times, could be that they all just set on one joker

[floral spindle]

I've done it multiple times, same thing happens

[drowsy heath]

Weird

[plush jewel]

Okay I fixed discards and destroys. now I need to detect when joker itself is sold

[drowsy heath]

Could be thay the joker is decided before play and then they all do that and its not random person lucky card maybe idk I've never done that before so I've not got a clue

Per*

Not person wtf is autocorrect doing

[floral spindle]

wait

I think I fixed it

[drowsy heath]

What was wrong with it?

[floral spindle]

I simply ran the thingy to find editionless jokers inside of the return{}

[drowsy heath]

Ohhh okok

Also by any chance do you know how I could make a joker detect another joker from a object type to gain a mult value

I have the object type set up

And a joker within it

But how do I make it so that my other joker detects I have that in hand and gains a mult value

Coz I'm like lost

Wait hold on i can base it on cryptids m jokers

[daring fern]

if joker.config.center.pools.objecttypekey

[drowsy heath]

Oh I was gunna say base it on the m joker which gains mult per jolly but that works too

[daring fern]

That wouldn't help because jolly is not a pool.

[drowsy heath]

Oh I thought they were

[tall wharf]

isn't the pool just M

[faint yacht]

-- checks for Jolly Jokers or cards that are supposed to be treated as jolly jokers
function Card:is_jolly()
    if self.ability.name == "Jolly Joker" or self.ability.name == "cry-jollysus Joker" then
        return true
    end
    if self.edition and self.edition.key == "e_cry_m" then
        return true
    end
    return false
end

?

[midnight coyote]

can i not use card within an event

[plush jewel]

cant find jokers code in cryptid

[red flower]

you can
you shouldn't use context

[midnight coyote]

why doesnt it work then

[red flower]

idk why are you assuming it's that

[midnight coyote]

'attempt to index local card (a nil value)'

[red flower]

calculate_effect is missing the card

[hidden sable]

what is calculate for in consumables

[midnight coyote]

ohh

[faint yacht]

m.lua, search for local macabre.

[midnight coyote]

is card the first or last argument

[red flower]

to make them act like jokers

[red flower]

last

[hidden sable]

jokerlicious

[midnight coyote]

works now

thanks

[hidden sable]

can't you just detect if a joker has ability.extra.coffeeboost

[drowsy heath]

I havnt done that yet

I dont think I will tbf

[hidden sable]

@red flower can you detect if a joker has a certain config

[drowsy heath]

I think ima leave it as just the coffee cards and stat boosts from the coffee consumable

[red flower]

yes that's how i do it in my mod for the yugioh cards

[hidden sable]

@drowsy heath

you don't need to do pool shenanigans

[red flower]

i think pool shenanigans is better

if you already have the pool made

[hidden sable]

for his usage it's really just setting a config so checking the same config seems appropriate

[drowsy heath]

That i do

I cant figure out the last bit of this code to make it work o forgot how to do it

[red flower]

it's the same thing but in that case you're setting up two systems for the same purpose

[hidden sable]

i feel like instead of doing if joker is in pool, just set its config

[drowsy heath]

    key = 'joker19',
    atlas = 'joker',
    pos = {
        x = 7 ,
        y = 4 
    },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    config = { extra = { xmult = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult} }
    end,
    calculate =function (self, card, context)
        if joker.config.center.pools.coffee then
            return {
                
            }
        end
    end
}``` what goes in the final return for it to give the extra 1x per coffee joker

[hidden sable]

no i mean checking if a joker has say an extra.mult value, increase that value

[solid grotto]

How do I make a joker change a cards edition/enhancement when scored?
Referencing midas mask doesn't work because it applies before the hand is played

[hidden sable]

discord really butchered your code lol

[drowsy heath]

yeah ill just let it do that, its still readable tho

[hidden sable]

reference midas mask

change context

[red flower]

the logic is wrong, you need to have a strict context check and loop through the jokers

[hidden sable]

doesn't have to be the same context

[faint yacht]

local coffee = 1
for i, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
  if v.config.center.pools.coffee then coffee = coffee + 1 end
end
return coffee

[solid grotto]

What does ipairs mean

Just wondering

[drowsy heath]

huh

[solid grotto]

"for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do"

[faint yacht]

Iterates over the numbered entries in a given table up until a break in the numbering occurs or reach end of table.

[hidden sable]

for loop

wait nvm im dumb

that's for the consumable

[faint yacht]

Meanwhile pairs will iterate over every table entry, numbered or not.

[red flower]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/55109411

[drowsy heath]

so am i, i got no clue how do this

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[drowsy heath]

where do i put that

[hidden sable]

ipairs stands for index pairs

[drowsy heath]

nvm

i got it

[hidden sable]

i still think it's easier for him to just check for a config and set the config

[red flower]

why

[drowsy heath]

got a type mismatch error

[hidden sable]

the message below you

[solid grotto]

How would I change this to give cards the negative edition instead? Do I just change m_gold to m_negative or something

[red flower]

what does that have to do with your solution

[hidden sable]

i think it's easier

[red flower]

it's the same thing

[daring fern]

scored_card:set_edition("e_negative")

[faint yacht]

:set_edition('m_negative')

[red flower]

you're replacing v.center.config.pools for v.ability.extra

[hidden sable]

oh pool uses config?

can you define pool in config table?

[red flower]

no

it's a pools table

but you need an objecttype defined

this is in the docs btw

[hidden sable]

compared to just, config = { extra = { coffeeboost } }

that seems excessive

[red flower]

but they already did the hard part

and that also helps with add_card and stuff

[drowsy heath]

okay so pools has a nil alue

crashed

[hidden sable]

did they? seems like they are having lots of issues

[red flower]

well ok im not helping anymore

[hidden sable]

this is true, can't you use that for a cartomancer like card for making coffee cards or for a booster pack

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

1. what smods version
2. how are you defining the objecttype

[hidden sable]

it's not that deep 😭

[red flower]

I'd rather teach people to do things properly instead of ending up with cryptid-like code

[drowsy heath]

where do i find my smods version

[solid grotto]

If steam is telling me it's unable to sync my balatro saves with the steam cloud is that like

Bad

[red flower]

open the game and it's in the top right

[solid grotto]

Do I just open it anyway

[faint yacht]

It'll sync later.

[drowsy heath]

1.0.0 beta 0506a

[solid grotto]

Do I wait it out or what

[faint yacht]

Just continue starting.

[solid grotto]

Cool

[red flower]

update

[unkempt thicket]

How can i give a card a badge based on if it has a certain ability, I'm doing this and it gives one with the proper info quene but not badge name or color.

[drowsy heath]

okok

still the same crash

[hidden sable]

is cryptid code really that cryptic?

[drowsy heath]

yes

it painful i tried finding a referance and got lost very quick

[hidden sable]

i used it to make my skateboard item

[red flower]

you might need to do (v.config.center.pools or {}).coffee

[red flower]

no it's bad

i didn't say it was cryptic

some of it is

like whatever doble scalae does

[hidden sable]

it was a joke

[hybrid shadow]

i remember sync catalyst was incredibly complicated in how it balanced chips/mult before i made it just do balance = true

[hidden sable]

because it's called cryptid

and the word

cryptic

[drowsy heath]

its not crashing but the joker isnt doing the action or updating the valua

value *

[red flower]

did you put that code directly in calculate as toga wrote it

[drowsy heath]

yep

ill send it

[red flower]

yeah that was meant as a general function not to put directly

[red flower]

what's the goal?

x1 mult for each?

[drowsy heath]

gain + 1x mult per coffee card

yes i just formatted before you tell me

[red flower]

what does gain mean in this context? permanently? only when you have them?

[drowsy heath]

when you ave them

[maiden phoenix]

Like Baseball?

[red flower]

yeah that was going to be my next question

[drowsy heath]

yeah

but i want it to be all triggered on that one card so instead of on the jokers its on the coffee beans

so its not 1.5^x its a bse xmult

[red flower]

so not like baseball card

[drowsy heath]

yeah....

[hidden sable]

he wants every coffee card to have its mult increased by x1.5 (whatever value the card is either xmult, chips) when using a coffee bean consumable

[red flower]

if context.joker_main then
   -- TOGA's code without the return
   return { xmult = 1 + coffee }
end

[hidden sable]

just make xmult coffee

since it's going to act like popcorn

[red flower]

this is a completely different thing from what we have been talking is this true

[hidden sable]

@drowsy heath are you still doing that idea?

[red flower]

that would have problems if it's at 0

[hidden sable]

true

well since it's like popcorn if it hits zero just eat the card

no need for the +1

[red flower]

well idk they can make that change later im just helping them make it work

[hidden sable]

k

[drowsy heath]

what about togas ifwhat odea

[unkempt thicket]

Am i missing something?

[hidden sable]

id help more but im not at my pc right now

[hidden sable]

whar

[drowsy heath]

ignore that

i was mid mesg then relised i was wrong

forgot i had it typed

[hidden sable]

lol

[drowsy heath]

but what idea

[hidden sable]

the idea for having a coffee bean consumable that would increase whatever the coffee is doing by 1.5x

[drowsy heath]

idk yet

so it detects the latte but only once no matter how many i have

[red flower]

what's the code

[hidden sable]

i feel you are doing the wrong thing for the right thing idk

[red flower]

coffee should start at 0 probably

what's the objecttype code

[drowsy heath]

i gave myself 5 lattes and 1 coffee and ende with 2x flat mult

[red flower]

yeah because it's not detecting anything

[red flower]

you're missing the mod's prefix

[drowsy heath]

oh

[red flower]

j_modprefix_key

[drowsy heath]

fgs

i need that for the default or the inject card

[solid grotto]

Whenever a trigger happens, it just makes the first scored card negative instead of the scored wild card? Not sure why this is happening

[red flower]

both
unless coffee is your mods prefix

[solid grotto]

It's supposed to be a 1/5 chance that scored wild cards become negative

[drowsy heath]

no its mm

[plush jewel]

Guys I cant fucking crack it. How can joker check if itself was sold/destroyed?

[red flower]

remove_from_deck

[plush jewel]

I just gave up and asked GPT, he says SMODS.Hook bullshit

[red flower]

yeah don't

[plush jewel]

which does not exists

[red flower]

because context.individual already loops through all the cards, and you're doing a loop inside that

[drowsy heath]

still only a flat 2x

[solid grotto]

I'd be looking at gros michael because whenever it expires it logs that

[red flower]

did you restart the run

[plush jewel]

I need joker to respawn itself when it gets destroyed or sold

[solid grotto]

Does the joker like, get buffed every time it's been sold?

[drowsy heath]

oh yeah forgot to do that mb

[red flower]

you can do that in remove_from_deck

[drowsy heath]

still only 2x

[solid grotto]

I see

[red flower]

is latte joker20

[drowsy heath]

yes

[solid grotto]

My coding experience rn is super abstracted. I don't like, actually know what all the functions do under the hood

Didn't even know context.individual had that function lol

I'm working off other jokers completely

[red flower]

i would recommend looking at the vanilla jokers

[solid grotto]

I am

[red flower]

uhh might be an smods bug lol
can you try putting j_mm_joker20 = true in the ObjectType cards

[solid grotto]

Anyway how do I check if a scored card already has an edition?
I'm assuming it's something like "if SMODS.has_edition(context.other_card, 'e_negative')"

But not sure

[drowsy heath]

ok

[red flower]

context.other_card.edition

for a specific one context.other_card.edition.negative

[solid grotto]

I used "if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild')" to check for wild cards

[drowsy heath]

well you are not gunna be happy bcoz its still flat 2x and was a fresh run

[solid grotto]

Stolen from golden ticket

[red flower]

can i see the code again

[solid grotto]

Is there an easier way to do that

[red flower]

no that's correct

[drowsy heath]

wait

i think ik

hold on

for some reason i had coffee_beans as my key but even changing that to the right key didnt work

[red flower]

are you sure mm is your mod's prefix?

[drowsy heath]

yep

same one used for localisation

and if that works then it should be mm

[red flower]

yeah

[drowsy heath]

is it something to do with the coffee beans code

[red flower]

can you do me a favor and do print(v.config.center) in that loop in your joker

and send me the log

[solid grotto]

Unsure why this is wrong

[red flower]

scored_card is not defined?

[solid grotto]

This was working earlier albeit editioning the wrong card

[red flower]

please send more context

[solid grotto]

Should it be other card

[red flower]

yeah scored_card is not defined

local scored_card = context.other_card

[solid grotto]

Can't I just change both instances of scored card to other card

Or context.other_card

[red flower]

no because you can't use context in an event

[drowsy heath]

i did some fixing of my own an got this

[solid grotto]

What's the code

[drowsy heath]

ima feel stupid when i tell you this but i wasnt loading the content.lua file when testing before

[drowsy heath]

ill get it now

[red flower]

i mean i was gonna say that next lol

[drowsy heath]

yeah i thought something was up then remembered i never added it to the list

[red flower]

remove the whole inject thing and put the thing in cards in it again, see if it works

[solid grotto]

Okay now it's happening before scoring happens like midas mask 😅
I added local scored_card = context.other_card right above "scored_card:set_edition('e_negative', nil, true)

Is that the wrong spot am I being dumb

[hidden sable]

what's the context

full context

[red flower]

oh if you want it before you might need context.before

[drowsy heath]

that worked but the 1x on the card descrption should update right ?

[solid grotto]

I want it to happen on scoring

It's happening before and I don't want that

[hidden sable]

no they don't want it on before

[red flower]

no, you need to count the jokers there too

did everything else work?

[drowsy heath]

yeah

[wintry solar]

add an extra true to the function call

at the end

[red flower]

oh i misread sorry

[hidden sable]

it's good

[solid grotto]

Why would returning true twice do anything (genuine question)

[hidden sable]

took me this long to realize the egg has a drawn on joker face

[red flower]

set_edition has an argument to delay the application

[hidden sable]

i always thought the egg was just evil and fucked up

[drowsy heath]

how do i count the jokers and make it show as a mult in the discription

[solid grotto]

Take a look at abstract joker

[red flower]

copy the loop you do in calculate but put it in loc_vars

im making so many typos today

maybe because it's cold

[wintry solar]

scored_card:set_edition('e_negative', nil, true, true) like this will delay the application of the visual of the edition to respect the timing you've chosen due to how calculation functions internally

[river apex]

How to make a new counter like the extension of cryptid ?
I would like to interact with it and some joker to be modified depending on the value
I guess I could start in "config" but other than that I have no idea

[drowsy heath]

what exactly is the loop bcoz i dont think i did it right all i get is red lines everywhere

[red flower]

what toga sent

[drowsy heath]

yeah thats what i put in and it showed red

[red flower]

may i see

[solid grotto]

This happens on scoring like I wanted, but there isn't really a delay

[drowsy heath]

this is str8 after i put it in no changes

[solid grotto]

It happens the instant the card is scored, before the chips even come up

[frigid cargo]

for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.pools and G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.pools.Shape then
            shapecount = shapecount + 1
        end
    end

Im tryna do this piece of code but i dont want the joker itself to be counted even though its part of the pool
what would the code be?

[red flower]

yeah no
what i meant is to copy that code and put it in the loc_vars that is before that

[hard mica]

how can i check if im hovering over a specific joker and that im clicking a key

[red flower]

- 1?

[midnight coyote]

how can i manually remove a joker from the pool as if you had it

[drowsy heath]

like after the {card.ability.extra.xmult}

[midnight coyote]

i need it to still be findable using showman

but not otherwise

[frigid cargo]

i guess i could try that

[daring fern]

Try looking at how FusionJokers does it.

[red flower]

G.GAME.used_jokers has the jokers owned i don't know if that helps

[red flower]

before that return

[hard mica]

anyone know?

[red flower]

what's the end goal

because i know how to check in the other order

[drowsy heath]

the context comes up as an undefined global

or did i not need that bit

[hard mica]

i just wanna reroll my objective and reward to make things easier for myself lol

[red flower]

without the context, just the loop with the coffee count

[drowsy heath]

no yellow or red lets see what the game says

[red flower]

these do stuff when pressed while hovering a joker
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/bfe4f9bfc4d38135c652aeed94b0942ad0a1f736/src/card_ui.lua#L508

[red flower]

you also need to change the return btw

[drowsy heath]

change it to what

[red flower]

return { vars = { 1 + coffee } }

[drowsy heath]

why is lua so confusing

i found my funny card

[river apex]

Or where can I find doc about it ?

[red flower]

there isn't

i would recommend just copying that code

[river apex]

The repo is not availiable until the 1.0 of the mod

[red flower]

oh is that polterworx

[river apex]

yes

[red flower]

uhhh

well i think other mods edit that part

[drowsy heath]

so N' the counter either says 2 and only counts the coffee itself + its flat mult or it says 5 and counts itself +fkatmult +latte

[red flower]

like paya's terrible additions iirc

[drowsy heath]

i cant get it to only see the latte

well not see itself basically

[red flower]

coffee should start at 0 like i said

instead of 1

[drowsy heath]

i tried that and it said 2x

[red flower]

can i see

[river apex]

I'll take a look thanks !

[red flower]

i mean local coffee = 0

oh

[solid grotto]

If I want to remove the edition of a card do I just use "scored_card:set_edition(nil, nil, true, true)"

Or is there a variable for not having an edition

[red flower]

i think so

[river apex]

Ho by the way
Is there a place where all the attributes of context and G are explained ?
In the SMODS wiki there is only like 2 or 3 examples but for example not many things about context.full_hand etc...

[drowsy heath]

now we are at 4x but its still counting itself i only have 3 lattes in hand

what if instead of 0 and overcomlicating things i just do -1

[red flower]

most vanilla code is not documented

but someone is working on it for G specifically
https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/pull/30

[umbral zodiac]

is there a way to change the weights of rarities mid-run (specifically ones that are usually not obtainable in the shop)

[unkempt thicket]

How can i give a card a badge based on if it has a certain ability, I'm doing this and it gives one with the proper info quene but not badge name or color.

[hidden sable]

how can i turn a config value into a string

[red flower]

the new contexts are missing but most stuff like full_hand is there

[hidden sable]

tostring()

is that a thing here?

[red flower]

yeah either that or to_string

one of the two

[drowsy heath]

okay problem solved it still counts itself but the base mult starts at -1

gud enough for me

[red flower]

yes, there's a bit about it in the docs

[solid grotto]

This is supposed to remove the negative edition from non-wild cards

Doesn't do anything

Scratching chin

[red flower]

not 'm_wild' is not correct

[solid grotto]

What should I use for that

[normal crest]

you want not SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild')

[drowsy heath]

lua makes me feel things i dont like

[solid grotto]

Oh lol

[hidden sable]

lua

[red flower]

why

[solid grotto]

Working with lua is frying my brain and I'm forgetting how to do basic coding

[hybrid shadow]

how would i make a conditional description for a joker in a localization file (or is it only possible in loc_txt)

[drowsy heath]

example his coee was right but the word needed to be at the start even tho rlly it ould make more sense for it to be where he had it 😭

[red flower]

wdym, like changing descriptions?

[hidden sable]

how can i check if the player owns a certain joker

[red flower]

this would be the same in any programming language not "string" is usually false

[drowsy heath]

yeah but idk them ik lua so i will hate while i can

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[hybrid shadow]

i guess the best similarity would be cryptid's profanity setting changing descriptions but im not trying to change it based on a setting

[red flower]

you can change descriptions dynamically by returning a key in loc_vars

[solid grotto]

Removing the edition happens before scoring? Even though I copied the code from the part that creates the edition and it worked on scoring?

Full context

Applying the edition happens on scoring, removing the edition happens before scoring like midas mask

[hybrid shadow]

wdym

[normal crest]

return a localization key thru loc_vars and it'll use that instead

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[red flower]

i think this might be a bug, i would ask eremel honestly

[torpid glade]

Question: How come it says Nil, something up with my code?

[solid grotto]

I'll let it sit for a bit

Because it works

[red flower]

you define it as Xmult but you use xmult in loc_vars

[solid grotto]

It's just the timing that's off tbf

Once I add all the jokers I want and get them working at their bare minimum I'll neaten them up

[torpid glade]

oops, missed that. Thanks!

[solid grotto]

Bugs can be tolerated

[umbral zodiac]

is there any difference between a default_weight of 0 and not having it at all in a rarity definition

[drowsy heath]

trying to sort out some art for my cards a couple of them were finishes

[daring fern]

No.

[umbral zodiac]

cool

[hybrid shadow]

is this right

[red flower]

the syntax is at least, idk if the profiles thing is correct

[hybrid shadow]

what does the nil do at the end of it, just not have the key change if the condition isnt met?

[red flower]

yes

[hybrid shadow]

k

would wrapping the condition and the alt key in parenthesis do anything

[red flower]

i don't think so but it also doesn't hurt

[wintry solar]

It’s just a visual bug, delaying the edition visual doesn’t work when removing an edition

[plush jewel]

Where Cryptid mod has joker code?

[wintry solar]

Or changing an edition actually

[plush jewel]

Im so fucking done trying to make joker register when itself gets sold/destroyed

[sonic cedar]

how can i make it so this patch only applies to a specific joker?
i tried card.config.center.key, but that caused it to not trigger at all..

pardon my manners, good evening all

[hidden sable]

i also need to get a count of how much of this joker they have

so wouldnt a for loopbe better

sorry i forgot to mention that

[red flower]

#SMODS.find_card("...")

[hidden sable]

oh that works?

[red flower]

yes

[hidden sable]

can i also get a reference to those jokers from that

[red flower]

yes it's an array

[normal crest]

wins is a table, that said I didn't check what actually gets put in there

[drowsy heath]

N' coffee beans is playing up again even tho nothing has changed

[hybrid shadow]

nobody has apparently

[drowsy heath]

crashes saying line 9 jokers have been given a nil value

[normal crest]

fine I'll check

[sonic cedar]

alternatively, can someone tell me why the quip would show up blank for some people? is that an issue with their games, or an issue with my code?

[hidden sable]

so when i do that it makes an indexed table with references to all the jokers

[hybrid shadow]

apparently G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile] is nil anyway?

[hidden sable]

so if i want to do stuff to the jokers id put it through a for loop?

[red flower]

what's line 9

[normal crest]

definitely isn't

[drowsy heath]

for i, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do

[red flower]

oh yeah makes sense

this is in the collection right

[drowsy heath]

in the coffee beans joker code

[normal crest]

Okay so G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].joker_usage doesn't have all the jokers by default, so you have to check that it's there in the first place

[red flower]

i mean this is hovering over it in the collection?

[drowsy heath]

yeah

it worked fine b4 why did it decide not to now

[hybrid shadow]

how do i do that

[normal crest]

check that it's not nil

[red flower]

because G.jokers doesn't exist outside a game
you need to check if G.jokers

[drowsy heath]

adding an if makes it glow red

[floral spindle]

            if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_lucky") then -- if card is lucky then
                if pseudorandom('Bord') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then --if odds succeeds then
                    if SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true) then
                        editionless_jokers = SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true)
                        eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(editionless_jokers, pseudoseed('bord')) -- this whole thing just finds jokers without an edition
                        return {                        
                            message = "Negative!", -- makes a funny message to signify that a card is negative
                            
                            func = function()
                            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                                func = function()
                                eligible_card:set_edition('e_negative', true)

                                    return true
                                end

                            }))
                        end
                        }
                    end
                end
            end
        end``` This code crashes my game when It attempts to apply negative when all jokers are negative

[hybrid shadow]

id send that one gif of "not drake" at the computer if i could

[normal crest]

and after that you can do if next(G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].joker_usage.[your joker key].wins) then stuff

[drowsy heath]

thats what happens

[red flower]

if G.jokers then
    -- code here
end

like that?

[drowsy heath]

oh okok

i took it too litteral

[hybrid shadow]

how do i check if a joker is in G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].joker_usage

[normal crest]

local usage = G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].joker_usage.[your joker key]
if usage and next(usage.wins) then
    -- stuff
end

[drowsy heath]

in collection its fine for it to say xnil as in game it will work yeah ?

[red flower]

yes but also you can fix that by returning { vars = { 1 } } or something

[drowsy heath]

nah its fine my mod has tons of quirks its just like that

right now i have 2 arts sorted

the rest have their atlases removed since i was sick of the white box

and everything is working

im feeling great now

ig i can just make more coffee cards and then do a full playtest of the mod

[hybrid shadow]

that fixed it but now i get the "attempted to compare number with table" error

[drowsy heath]

i plan on adding alot more but i havnt like rlly used them in a practical setting

[normal crest]

well what line is it

[gaunt thistle]

You'll probably need to switch to regex if you want to patch that specific of a location

[hybrid shadow]

i can tell you the exact code that does it actually since you pointed it out earlier

usage.wins > 0```

[gaunt thistle]

When you don't have distinguishing features at a position you want to patch then you'll either needs to get smart about the times patch field or you'll need regex.

[normal crest]

well that doesn't belong there

the code i sent recently is all you need

[hybrid shadow]

is wins something where its nil by default but not nil if youve won before (with the joker and all that)

[sonic cedar]

see but it's not like the patch doesnt work
it patches and the effects save and all that
but it tries to apply to every joker
which in turn disables a whole bunch of jokers' effects that arent the joker this patch was made for

(how do you regex patch)

[normal crest]

wins is a table whose keys are the stakes and the values are the amount of times you won in that stake

and it's never nil

[gaunt thistle]

Yeah, this is happening because your pattern isn't specific enough

[hybrid shadow]

so is there no way to actually check if a joker's been won with before since its tracked by whatever individual stake?

[hidden sable]

@drowsy heath

[gaunt thistle]

There's an example of a regex patch on the lovely repo. Regex by itself is challenging so also heavily consider if you can solve this problem in other ways.

Eg. can you inject this at runtime?

[normal crest]

next(usage.wins) will tell you if wins has at least 1 key, aka if you've won with this joker before in any stake

[sonic cedar]

i literally do not know
the joker's supposed to copy the effects of other jokers based off of keys added to a table
would that work at wherever runtime is?

[drowsy heath]

thats sick but would it work with my code i have

[normal crest]

wins is only populated once you win, so when you never won it's an empty table

[hybrid shadow]

alr

[hidden sable]

idk you're codebase

holy grammer

OMFG

[red flower]

hmm i don't know if this is true, i think the problem is the if condition being true for all jokers

[drowsy heath]

like would it effect any of the things i have in my code i can fit it in if it will

[gaunt thistle]

Ah yeah that's also true haha

[drowsy heath]

wont ***

[sonic cedar]

but then that brings my original question 😭

[gaunt thistle]

I didn't look at the actual code so

[red flower]

can i see how you tried card.config.center.key

[hidden sable]

shouldnt, i just dragged it into my code personally

[drowsy heath]

ratmilk what is your favourite type of coffee

[sonic cedar]

if card.config.center.key == 'j_hpfx_ijiraq'
but like added as an and
i also tried switching card for self

[hidden sable]

decaf

[drowsy heath]

oh rlly

[hidden sable]

my code will work with any joker that has coffee in its config

therefore you can do stuff like...

[drowsy heath]

oh so it will work with my stuff then

[red flower]

can you try printing card.config.center.key before the if

[hidden sable]

whats ur fav coffee

[drowsy heath]

im a big fan of dalgona coffee

its niche

but tasty

[sonic cedar]

alright

[drowsy heath]

worth trying and you can make it decaf

the decaf coffee in my mod is called ratmilks decaf, YOU WILL TAKE THE CREDIT WHEN IT IS DUE

denied me last time but now its too late i already have everything done

[hidden sable]

[hybrid shadow]

now this doesnt work

[red flower]

seems like it works to me

[normal crest]

cus you removed the nil check for usage

the code i sent wasn't decoration D:

[hybrid shadow]

where would be the best place to set that then

[normal crest]

if usage and next(usage.wins) then

just like it was in the code i sent

idk why you removed it

[hybrid shadow]

it wasnt there originally because the first thing was for localization

[drowsy heath]

here he is all juiced up was +200 and loss of 10 played 2 hands
