[hybrid shadow]

now it works as intended

[drowsy heath]

and it says remember to top up bcoz i do want to add the to ups

[hidden sable]

the coffee value can be anything

[sonic cedar]

yes, this is before the break
this is while it's broken, which (with the if statement readded) seems to only happen to the exception jokers i have

[drowsy heath]

and the other bits

[hidden sable]

if you pay close enough attention you can see i forgot to change mult to xmult

[drowsy heath]

i noticed that instantly

[hidden sable]

😭

lemme do a enw showcase

[drowsy heath]

its too late the shame has set in

[red flower]

ok the problem is: i still dont understand what your joker does lol

[normal crest]

me neither, and I've tried reading the code you usually show in this channel

you've been at this for days

[sonic cedar]

*weeks

[normal crest]

D:

[drowsy heath]

i need to rename coffee bean to coffee pot so i can use the consumable name as coffee beans

[normal crest]

what is the intended effect of your joker

[hidden sable]

or make the consumable type coffee

[drowsy heath]

then i need to craft up whatever whchcraft u have done so i can use it

[drowsy heath]

the type is coffee but the actual consumable will be coffee beans

there

soryr for the flood

i dont have nitro i had to send invidviual messages

pls dont take out your torches and rakes

[drowsy heath]

lmao

return SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key") what specifics do i put here

coz i want it to work on all the jokers

but if i put in an id then it would only do that one ?

[gleaming yew]

Oh BTW these are like
Each line is a different joker
(Ehnancement and glass is one uncommon Joker, chips of last played hand is another uncommon Joker.

[red flower]

this will always be true btw

[drowsy heath]

oh so just leave it as is

[sonic cedar]

there are two main components to this

1. the costume, a fodder joker that just picks a random joker to disguise as to serve as a transformation for ijiraq WITHOUT me having to program in 150 joker files
2. the exceptions, jokers with effects that can't be copied with the costume (conditions seen in the second image) or if i want to create a custom effect which the costume will use instead

the patch is to make the actual effects get transmitted properly, which, when setup properly works. but ONLY for the costumes? the exceptions' effects don't activate, and they don't transform

[red flower]

no I don't know what you're talking about but that is the same as return true so it doesn't make sense

in can_use

[drowsy heath]

i will let ratmilk explain he wrote the code @hidden sable

how that bit work

[red flower]

oh does the patch work for everything that's not an exception? or did i misunderstand?

[hidden sable]

oh yeah i forgot to change that value lol

[sonic cedar]

no that’s exactly it
Everything COSTUME related, not every joker lmao

[hidden sable]

that can is only a thing that makes it so you cant use coffee beans if you have no coffee cards

[drowsy heath]

ohhhhh

[hidden sable]

can_use = function(self, card)
        for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if v.ability.extra.coffee then
                return true
            end
        end
    end

put that there

[red flower]

hmm still seems complicated sorry lol

[sonic cedar]

I almost sent a sticker

[hidden sable]

whats that one balatro mod that adds those little buddies on your screen

like a tiny cuter version of cards

[red flower]

partner

[hidden sable]

thanks

[sonic cedar]

is there a way to uncomplicate it…..

[hidden sable]

@drowsy heath you could look at the partner mod and make something with it lol

[red flower]

no the code is probably on the right track it's just the effect itself is complicated

i would need to know more about it to help

about the code i mean

[drowsy heath]

the partner mod ?

[normal crest]

I didn't even understand the joker

[sonic cedar]

it’s never been more over

[hidden sable]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1371152782760870028

[drowsy heath]

what could i do with that tho

[sonic cedar]

• There’s a Joker
• It disguises itself as another Joker in the game
• When the Joker is triggered, It takes off the costume, but keeps the effect of its costume
• The effects stack

[drowsy heath]

also

what have i done

[wintry solar]

It can have more than one costume right?

[normal crest]

So is it disguised when you first find it

Or when does it get a costume

[sonic cedar]

yes, the costume changes per ante

[sonic cedar]

yes

[sonic cedar]

literally start of your run

[wintry solar]

Does it put a new costume on if you’ve already revealed it?

[sonic cedar]

about the ijiraq or its costume

[drowsy heath]

@hidden sable help

[red flower]

everything lol

[hidden sable]

they are basically mini jokers that stay with you through your whole run

[hidden sable]

whas the last thing you did

[sonic cedar]

yesish, but having multiple ijiraq at once isn’t possible, as they destroy each other, leaving one

basically if you have ijiraq, you can still find a costume, triggering the costume will turn it into ijiraq, which will destroy the other ijiraq

the ijiraq will have the effect of its initial costume and any other costumes you find

[hidden sable]

I WANT MY DISCARDS ANDREW

chat is this enough discards

[normal crest]

and how do you find new costumes

[drowsy heath]

so i erm made the consumable and the consumable type run in the main lua after putting the coffee beans in the coffee consumable type, it worked in the collection page and i saw it but then loaded into a round n crash

[hasty mist]

how do you target all jokers to the right

[sonic cedar]

theyre all in one joker

so find the joker

Trigger the joker

costume gets added to the list of effects

[hidden sable]

shwo code

for everything you added

[wintry solar]

I think I get it

[drowsy heath]

okay

[normal crest]

and the part you currently need help with is triggering the effects of all the jokers?

[sonic cedar]

1. costume
2. costume's transformation function that gets called once joker is triggered
3. override that handles per-ante costume changing and also resetting of the effect table
4. override of usage of the costume's transformation function
5. ui code overrides
6. example of an exception's transformation code (troubadour in this case)

[drowsy heath]

wait what i was suposed to change that wasnt i

i didnt know what to change it to i got confused and must have eft it

[sonic cedar]

solely the exceptions (exceptions need to be created when the costume's code doesn't apply to how the joker works) (or when i want to do my own effect for the fake joker), which override where they'd be in the costume's selection (example: if the costume would pick troubadour, it wouldnt, because there's an exception for it. the exceptions take priority)

[drowsy heath]

@hidden sable what do i put there

[hidden sable]

@drowsy heath

[sonic cedar]

is there anything you dont get at all i can try my best to explain

[normal crest]

what does one of those exception files look like in its entirety

it isn't very clear in the pics you sent

at least to me

[sonic cedar]

here's troubadour again

[drowsy heath]

i was absent for that lesson mb teach

[normal crest]

Oh so the exceptions are actually different jokers

[sonic cedar]

yes

[drowsy heath]

well it didnt work and now im even more confused

[normal crest]

and is Transfodd the actual function that is used when getting a new costume, the one that adds it to the list of copied effects

[drowsy heath]

okay so nevermind it did work but not on the jokers i designed

i need to work it in to them tho

[sonic cedar]

transfodd is how you get from the costume to the ijiraq, but yes it adds the key to the table

getting a NEW costume is done in the third image of those 6

the exceptions also have this

but they use a version of it that uses card instead of self

[normal crest]

so if I understood correctly, what you'd want to do is, in the function where it sets the fodder_card.jkey:

• reroll the key until you get a joker that isn't an exception or
• if it's an exception but it has a replacement use that key instead

but I'm not confident I understood the problem entirely yet

[sonic cedar]

yeah that's what it does already
the transformation isnt broken

[sonic cedar]

the problem is that exceptions' effects don't activate at all
nor do they transform

[drowsy heath]

ok so @hidden sable i have the things all working now but they only work with you joker which uses the coffee in its code yet mine dont use that, is there a way for me to make a list of accepted jokers on the consumable instead of reworking my jokers

[normal crest]

can you send the hpfx_Transform function

[sonic cedar]

you may find it similar
this is the same function
except it uses card instead of self
this is because the Costume uses self to function properly

[drowsy heath]

@red flower could you help me with this

[normal crest]

Oh I see, that's just for going back to jiraq

[drowsy heath]

i just need to let the consumable know which jokers it can effect

without reworking my jokers

[sonic cedar]

yes

[normal crest]

So the actual effect of the troubador exception happens in add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

which is what's presumably not triggering

[sonic cedar]

it happens in context.after

[normal crest]

But the only thing it does in context.after is transform back to jiraq

[sonic cedar]

which it does not
since adding the patch, the effects of specifically the exceptions are being blocked out
somehow

[red flower]

is this the same as the pool from before?

[drowsy heath]

the code ratmilk gave me for the consumable it effects jokers that have coffee written into them whereas my other jokers i made just have coffee as a pool

[normal crest]

Can you resend the patch again and the definition of exceptions

[drowsy heath]

so they are not picked up in it

is there a way to add a list of accepted jokers to the consumable instead of changing all my jokers to work with coffee as that makes the obtype pointles

ill just hsow u the consumable code u will understand

[red flower]

just change v.ability.extta.coffee for (v.config.center.pools or {}).coffee

[drowsy heath]

in the function at the bottom

or in the middle

ill do the one on line 17

wait all of them ?

[hidden sable]

just make your coffee joker use coffee for its mult instead

[hidden sable]

extta

[drowsy heath]

the exact thing im trying to avoid is reworking the jokers

[red flower]

yeah the problem is that you need something in the card's ability to multiply

[red flower]

sadly you were already blocked

[hidden sable]

so sad 😭

just uhhh

[drowsy heath]

where did this battle start

[hidden sable]

duble block me

[drowsy heath]

just chill behave

[normal crest]

Can you print the return value of calculate_joker alongside the key it's currently copying

[sonic cedar]

do you mean ret or something else

[normal crest]

inside the for loop you assign it to joker

in the patch

[sonic cedar]

oh in the patch i thought you meant the override one

[normal crest]

just to confirm, right now it works properly with every other effect, but when it reaches one of your exceptions it doesn't transform back to ijiraq and stays as that exception

[sonic cedar]

yes
and the actual effects of the exceptions dont activate either

[sonic cedar]

be right with you

[vague crest]

i have a joker which changes which rank will trigger its conditions each round, but I cant figure out how to start it at a random rank. whats the process for this?

[normal crest]

can you do print(k, joker)

just to know whose return value it is

[sonic cedar]

Ofc ofc

[normal crest]

also is the functionality of this meant to be the exact same as Transfodd

[sonic cedar]

literally yes

[normal crest]

they have differences

besides one using self and the other card

if those aren't intentional then you shouldn't have two separate functions that do the same

[sonic cedar]

huh oh no those are

[hidden sable]

?

[sonic cedar]

INFO - [G] j_hpfx_ijiraq
INFO - [G] test
INFO - [G] j_hpfx_ijiraq nil
INFO - [G] j_joker nil

repeat a billion times

[normal crest]

was it only copying j_joker

[sonic cedar]

"why am i sending a costume instance?" i did not gain 4 mult. so now i dont know what the hell is going on

[sonic cedar]

it was in fact the costume of that ante

it can only copy jokers that would turn into the guy by the way
you cant somehow give it a blueprint and now it's blueprint

it would have to be specifcally the fake (exception in this case) version of it

[normal crest]

so not even j_joker worked?! 🤔

[sonic cedar]

BUT

it transformed

[normal crest]

can you try removing the calculate function from your troubador exception

[sonic cedar]

as for what i did:

• started a run
• spawned the costume (eval SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_hpfx_costume'})
• got splash (this will not work, the exception hasnt been added yet either)
• restarted
• spawned the costume
• got jimbo
• went into a blind
• played a hand
• no mult gain
• transformation occurs
• close game

[normal crest]

if j_joker actually turned back i suspect that stuff you put in the exception is messing with it

[sonic cedar]

...what would that do?

[normal crest]

this

[sonic cedar]

the troubadour is a whole different file though?

[normal crest]

yeah but troubador exception is the one that's not turning back right

[sonic cedar]

no that was an example

none of them are

[normal crest]

well do all of the exceptions have the same context.after part

[sonic cedar]

no

[normal crest]

can you show me the code for an exception you have tried

[sonic cedar]

here's raised fist

[daring fern]

‎

[normal crest]

do all the exceptions have an hpfx_Transform call

and if so, can you try without it

[sonic cedar]

how would they transform

without the

[normal crest]

well they clearly don't transform with it

so that's pretty much my logic

[sonic cedar]

i mean i guess i can? i dont know what you expect to happen but

sure ill take it out of raisedfist and try and get it

[hidden sable]

anyone know what this is?

[normal crest]

check if the repo has a wiki section

[sonic cedar]

no effect trigger, no transformation
the prints?

[normal crest]

which of the prints is that, surely not the print(k, joker) line

[normal crest]

is it the first print in the payload

or did it ever print test

[sonic cedar]

of course not

there was never an ijiraq

and the table was never calculated

because the card never transformed

[hidden sable]

anyone know how to add partners

[normal crest]

isn't that due to this line in the costume

[sonic cedar]

that's for the variable

[normal crest]

Yeah but it worked with j_joker cus of that variable, no?

[sonic cedar]

because j_joker was made from the costume

[normal crest]

but if any of your exceptions are made from the costume then they won't be considered ijiraq due to this

is that not correct or am I missing something

[sonic cedar]

isIjiraq is (mainly) for transfodd

you'll typically see or because again
they're exceptions to the costume's rules

[vague crest]

hi, trying to create a variable like mail in rebate, where would i create a variable like this?

since i can see it's not really part of the joker itself

[sonic cedar]

either in your overrides or your main file it's one of those

[normal crest]

well, my logic was j_joker never calls hpfx_Transform in its code, and yet it transforms back

[sonic cedar]

because it calls transfodd

it's not an exception

[drowsy heath]

okay so i fixed everything

[hidden sable]

random number from 1 - 13

[drowsy heath]

i made all new coffee jokers that work with the consumable

AND they also work with the coffee pot

so i get mult from them

i guess i dont need as much help as i thought i did

[normal crest]

but your exceptions that don't transform back have an hpfx_Transform call in their calculate, which is ran when you call calculate_joker

that was pretty much my line of thought here

[hidden sable]

did you add the glink nugget typeface?

[drowsy heath]

i wanted help had issues and ended up without it an found a solution, its ugly and oh it is but it works

[drowsy heath]

what

whats that

[hidden sable]

im fucking with you

[drowsy heath]

I WILL REMOVE RATMILKS DECAF

now i just need more coffee jokers

i want abt 5

[sonic cedar]

which worked
beFORE i added the patch
ever since ive added the patch is when this "effect'nt" thing started

[hidden sable]

add latte that gives xchips

[drowsy heath]

im also making a chips variant of the coffee pot so you can get Xchips per coffee cards u have too

[drowsy heath]

espressooooo

latte gives base +20 and nothing else i want one that doesnt expire

[tardy raven]

solution? trying to load the LUA files in a directory in the mod

[drowsy heath]

i want to add things that help with other decks such as plasma thats why i want xchips rlly coz plasma is fun and everyone mains chips on there

[normal crest]

wait, what does G.GAME.raqeffects look like once it has copied one of your exceptions

This code is all over the place I'm now more confused than ever before

[sonic cedar]

well when it actually did
it adds the key of the joker it's PRETENDING to be to the table

example:
braised fist triggers, turns into ijiraq. While it is turning into Ijiraq, it adds j_raisedfist or whatever it is to the table

[hidden sable]

braised

[vague crest]

is defining it just as simple as this or is there extra steps i gotta do

[normal crest]

in that case wouldn't your patch never be running your exception codes and only the original ones

[normal crest]

if for an exception it added the original key

[sonic cedar]

?

why would i want it to add the exception's key

[normal crest]

don't you want ijiraq to replace troubador's behaviour with your exception's

[sonic cedar]

not the actual troubdaour

the costume version

which already works

[normal crest]

so the costume version of the exceptions is the one with a different effect, the actual copied effect is the original one

[sonic cedar]

yes

the exceptions' custom effects are never copied

which is intended

[lament agate]

does anyone has a blank voucher template?

[sonic cedar]

adding to the table worked fine as well too
but i cant add to the table
if the joker cant transform

[sonic cedar]

try https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1224362333208444989 maybe?

[normal crest]

okay so this is the mean in which non-exception jokers turn into ijiraq again right

[sonic cedar]

yes (note the transfodd)

[lament agate]

oh sick

thank you

[normal crest]

and thru what means are exceptions meant to turn back to ijiraq

[sonic cedar]

hpfx_Transform

the thing is

i dont know what joker

would i want it to be

i have the issue all the time
lategame upgrades for lethal i think is the goated way to play, and since i only ever play my mod i think its the best

its not that i think im better than everyone elses
i just only ever see mine lmfao

what's the name of it?

oh it's in your profile nvm

[sonic cedar]

yes

[normal crest]

good commits

[sonic cedar]

thank you

[modern kindle]

i also think good commits

[sonic cedar]

double thank you

[hidden sable]

im gonna add a partner thing to my mod and i wanna make it where it detects consumables not jokers is that a thing i can do?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[normal crest]

what have you done, no joker works

[sonic cedar]

im gonna get you

that's why im HERE

[normal crest]

no, but, literally none of the jokers work, not even related to ijiraq

[sonic cedar]

yeah

i know

[normal crest]

I wasn't aware this was an issue to begin with

[sonic cedar]

only the transformations work

[hidden sable]

also can i make partners have their own "voicelines"

[sonic cedar]

it comes and goes

"how"
i am in this channel for a reason

[normal crest]

i am going to explode into a million pieces

[vague crest]

helloo, trying to figure out how to change this code to switch every time a boss blind is defeated, rather than at the end of the round, is there a simple change to do this?

[sonic cedar]

hooking into Blind:defeat might be better?

[modern kindle]

i will put you back together so you may resume assisting

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

try not to mesh with my 1 million pieces

[sonic cedar]

did you try print checking yet? see if something doesnt get reached?

[sonic cedar]

did you forget the question

[normal crest]

each of my pieces will explode into a million more

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure I put prints and asserts everywhere, and they all passed.

[modern kindle]

i can fix you

(said by the utterly sane)

[hidden sable]

no

[sonic cedar]

oh my god the r in srockw stands for fRactal

[normal crest]

you have to declare local jokers, triggered before entering the if, the ones in the else statement are only alive during the scope of the else statement

[hidden sable]

i posted that here to show theres something about individual quips

[normal crest]

that solves the jokers not triggering

as for ijiraq, I don't even know how I'm supposed to get it ingame

[sonic cedar]

well

you can trigger jokers now so

eval SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_hpfx_costume'})

[normal crest]

But how do you get it without spawning, or is that not implemented yet

[sonic cedar]

literally find it

[normal crest]

I see

[sonic cedar]

ijiraq itself is not in the pool

[normal crest]

okay well that works I guess

[sonic cedar]

here's a list btw

[normal crest]

well now that your jokers trigger again you can probably find the issue....

but i'll try

[sonic cedar]

goated

would you rather be named after a black cat or a white one

[normal crest]

an orange one

becasue i'm stupid

[sonic cedar]

orange ones are the smartest ones smh

...except one

[modern kindle]

im so tired of the smart people here calling themselves stupid cause what does that make me smh

[sonic cedar]

stupider

[modern kindle]

D:

[sonic cedar]

the truth hurts

🥀

[modern kindle]

ur just being mean to me because u think im cool

[sonic cedar]

this is true

i think youre awesome

[modern kindle]

:D

youre also awesome

[sonic cedar]

im so rotted i could hear the good ending music in my head

[modern kindle]

lmfao

[sonic cedar]

did this actually fix it btw

[modern kindle]

sometimes thats all you need

[normal crest]

okay well i just tried with making the fodder_card j_raised_fist, spawned costume, after triggering it turned into ijiraq, then I played a hand with ijiraq and it triggered the effect

so idk

[sonic cedar]

ot

it

worked?

[normal crest]

this is what i changed

[sonic cedar]

four lines.

actually no that last one is barely a line you jut removed local

it took three lines

[normal crest]

also here you need to remember calculate_joker returns two values

[sonic cedar]

OK WAIT IMPORTANT THING

[modern kindle]

better it takes only a few small changes than needing to redo it all

[sonic cedar]

DOES IT STACK PROPERLY

[normal crest]

haven't tested that

[sonic cedar]

i've been working on this joker for weeks
i only started working on its own effect last week

[sonic cedar]

[drowsy heath]

this is right its just another / for a subfolder yeah ?

just coz i had alot of them and it was a pain to keep it in a big list

now ik what im looking for

[sonic cedar]

yeah

"folder/another folder/another another folder/you get it/file"

it's like file explorer

or. you know. a filepath

[normal crest]

it properly copied both raised fist and j_joker

[sonic cedar]

orange cat it is

[normal crest]

okay so we should've started with "all the jokers stopped working"

would've saved us a couple hours

[sonic cedar]

funny enough that's uh

that's where it started

but then

[normal crest]

also those print statements are super laggy, remove them when testing or your pc will explode

[sonic cedar]

oh no i know dw they're gone

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

i was sending you walls of print of course they're laggy 😭

[normal crest]

tho it seems it copied the exception of raised fist rather than the original one

[sonic cedar]

so what exactly isnt happening? like how much of this IS working

[sonic cedar]

what.

[normal crest]

probably due to hpfx_Transform adding it directly

[sonic cedar]

wait that's right i removed the

[daring fern]

It's hooking the event function, but the card isn't changing so the game crashes.

[sonic cedar]

thing that swaps the thing around

let me put that back in transform

[sonic cedar]

brutal 😭

[sonic cedar]

also would you like your 500 thank you's receipt online or printed

[normal crest]

they can be in the commit description that fixes it

i hardly deserve them anyway, we spent 2 hours talking about stuff that wasn't the issue at all

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

but if we didnt
would it have been figured out

[normal crest]

ngl yes, the issue was such a minor thing

[sonic cedar]

can i be in denial in peace srock

[normal crest]

yes

happy june 25th

[sonic cedar]

gimme an hour

how's tomorrow looking im not there yet

[hasty mist]

how

nothing i was doing at the time ingame had anything to do with this code

[daring fern]

You need to check if scored_card exists first.

[sonic cedar]

yeah idk why i removed this (i know i forgot the do)

[hasty mist]

how

[daring fern]

if scored_card then

[sonic cedar]

done

[sullen brook]

Hey all. I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm super new to all this and I can't figure out why this line in my challenge code isn't working to put a spectral card I created in at the start.

The cbfk is the mod prefix I'm using, and I've tried without the c, without the cbfk, without both, and it never puts that consumable in at the start of the challenge.

[daring fern]

Is the key spectral_prism?

[sullen brook]

Yep

[daring fern]

It's consumeables

[sullen brook]

For more context, the initial config of the spectral card:

Can provide more if helpful

[daring fern]

Yes, the problem is you called the table consumables instead of consumeables

[sullen brook]

omw... -facedesk-

[sonic cedar]

that's 's fault

[sullen brook]

Geeze, I see the confusion now. Thank you for the quick clarification.

[sonic cedar]

it will happen again so dont stress

after 3 times it's your fault for being literate (i am joking)

[vague crest]

is it possible (and if it is possible, how?) to have the blueprint compatible thing appear twice on a joker? for example if I wanted to have a joker that retriggers jokers to the left and right under certain conditions

[daring fern]

Yes and 🤷 .

[sonic cedar]

not again,.... god not again.....

[subtle merlin]

Question: can i have a table that contains a return and it's table?

[daring fern]

You cannot return in a table.

[subtle merlin]

noted

[drowsy heath]

If I wanted a joker that gained had size per obtype joker I have is that possible

[normal crest]

you put 501

[sonic cedar]

it’s called a bonus

(I had to literally count 501 for the bit)

[normal crest]

you're a programmer, why'd you count

[daring fern]

Yes.

[normal crest]

just let computer do it

[hidden sable]

how do i turn a card negative if i have the cards reference, the reference could either be a consumable, joker, or playing card

[sonic cedar]

it’s more special if it hurts

[drowsy heath]

Oh is it easier said than done or fairly easy

[sonic cedar]

[normal crest]

ref:set_edition('e_negative')

[tardy raven]

trying to implement a joker that levels up hands 3 additional times when a planet card is used, current code doesn't work. anything I did wrong here?

[normal crest]

it will handle the diff types of negative automatically

[drowsy heath]

Is there a joker from a mod i can use as an example that you know of

[normal crest]

that context is not from smods, likely one whatever mod you got this from made

[tardy raven]

hmm

is there an smods equivalent to this?

[vague crest]

i mean if its not conveniently possible then im totally fine with just adding a (checks compatibility of joker to the right) clause but

would be cool

[normal crest]

not to my knowledge

[sonic cedar]

it’s not too hard to do if I’m thinking it right

[tardy raven]

mm

alright

[vague crest]

i can see that the description takes main end and only main end

tried a main_end2 and it didnt add anything extra and i tried changing the original to main_end3 and it removed the compatibility thing completely so

[normal crest]

you'd want to make main_end a column UI element that has two rows, one for each compatible thing

[vague crest]

ooh i see i see i think im seeing the vision

its really interesting to see how this stuff actually works

[subtle merlin]

Could she use if context.using_consumeable then?

[hidden sable]

any way to remove the effect where the whole shop goes down

[normal crest]

yeah but it'd require more logic than just returning the amount of extra levels

[vague crest]

ohh my PEAK

[normal crest]

honestly that's better than a column

it's clear which one is left and right

[vague crest]

the funny thing

its actually flipped right now for some reason LOL

easy fix though

[hidden sable]

anyone?

[sonic cedar]

this description is beyond peak

[sonic cedar]

have you tried not using a consumable

[hidden sable]

no i want a consumable

[vague crest]

<3 i like to have a fun one before its functional it keeps morale up

one day i like set up 5 jokers that didnt do anything with the intention of setting them up one by one and the description for all of them was "this joker does something amazing!" i was saying that phrase in vc like the whole day

[drowsy heath]

i found out by playtesting my mod is somehow on equal level of balanced as base balatro

im shocked

i managed to not pull a cryptid

[solid grotto]

I'm trying to remove the edition from a joker, why doesn't this work
(I'm assuming the first parameter in the set_edition call, "nil", stands for no edition)

[hidden sable]

how do i get a cards edition

[normal crest]

what's line 107 of your jokers.lua file

[normal crest]

card.edition

might be nil

[hidden sable]

how can i check if its negative

[normal crest]

if card.edition and card.edition.negative

[hidden sable]

k

[wild escarp]

How would I check for unscoring cards?

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == "unscored"

[manic rune]

is that an optional feature 🤔

[hidden sable]

am i defining this right

[normal crest]

you're better off asking in the thread for this mod

[daring fern]

No.

[hidden sable]

the thread is dead sadly but ill go there

[tardy raven]

yeah im honestly stumped as to how I could implement this just using smod contexts

[normal crest]

i guess it's not optional anymore

[manic rune]

mm

i see

[sturdy compass]

Rare Astra question
What would the context combo for me be to have this booster spawn and open at the start of an ante? Ignore the current combo because it does not work lmao

[vague crest]

im sooo confused trying to get this to work

[manic rune]

try looking into lcorp's code, in one of their challenges they have it so a booster pack is opened at the end of ante

[vague crest]

it should just retrigger both jokers when the criteria is true (once every 4 hands) but instead it does nothing besides throw a weird error into the console the hand after it's supposed to trigger

[sturdy compass]

Oh bet

[normal crest]

store the return value of each blueprint_effect call and return SMODS.merge_effects { eff1, eff2 }

[vague crest]

wdym by store return exactly?

[daring fern]

No, it would be SMODS.merge_effects({eff1, eff2})

[normal crest]

weird, but fixed

[normal crest]

local eff1 = SMODS.blueprint_effect........ etc etc

[wild escarp]

This doesn't seem to be working, which contexts should I be using here? I just want the joker to gain xmult for every unscoring card.

if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == "unscored" and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
end

[vague crest]

ihave this and it's not throwing the weird errors anymore but its still not triggering if theres anything else i missed

[normal crest]

in the 2nd loop you're still assigning other_joker instead of other_joker2

also you don't need two loops for that

you can do both assignments in one

[vague crest]

ohhhh my god 😭 ok good catch and ty

[tardy raven]

managed to find the toml file which adds the context but putting it in a different toml file still doesnt seem to make it work

[sturdy compass]

That was the ticket, thank ya tons

[tardy raven]

very stumped

[normal crest]

Where did you put the file

[daring fern]

main_scoring isn't called on jokers.

[normal crest]

that looks good, what's the actual contents of the file

[wild escarp]

What should I use instead? It increases multiple times if I just remove it.

[vague crest]

ohhh it works its just like a hand behind for some reason

[daring fern]

context.individual

[vague crest]

i got some weird bits to work out i fear 💔 but its functional !! ty everyone

[drowsy heath]

if i wanted a consumable to make something lucky would the edition be lucky or lucky_card or something like that

[tardy raven]

i'm unsure if toml need to be called within a main.lua or not???? from what i parsed they execute automatically

[normal crest]

can you go to Mods/lovely/dump/functions/common_events.lua

and see if you can find your payload

just ctrl + f "modify_level_increment"

[drowsy heath]

^^??

[normal crest]

lucky is not an edition

it's an enhancement

[drowsy heath]

thats what i meant

[normal crest]

you'd so other_card:set_ability('m_lucky')

[tardy raven]

seems like it's there?

[normal crest]

that all looks good to me

i'm not sure why it wouldn't work

[tardy raven]

heres the code for the jokers

if I happened to miss something

[vague crest]

out of curiosity what math function is % actually doing here? trying to understand the loyalty card functions better

[drowsy heath]

how would i get it to work in this instance

i took a guess but didnt work

[normal crest]

a % b is the remainder of integer division between a and b

so 5 % 2 would be the remainder of 5/2, which is 1

[normal crest]

CARD:set_ability('m_lucky')

[daring fern]

card:set_enhancement doesn't exist.

[weak gate]

has any of you done a custom UI with a custom tooltip? Can't figure out how tooltips work

[drowsy heath]

was a guess but how would i make it work

[normal crest]

move the } in line 26 to the end

your calculate function is outside the joker definition

[tardy raven]

you mean line 25?

[normal crest]

26 for me

and add a comma right after the closing } in the soul_pos line

[tardy raven]

oh i was looking at the wrong lua

Fail

[drowsy heath]

so how would i make it work

[normal crest]

@drowsy heath

[drowsy heath]

no but for the way im doing it

[tardy raven]

?

[drowsy heath]

this

[hidden sable]

how do i check for for every card under 52

like how many cards under 52

[daring fern]

Yes, would set_ability not work?

[normal crest]

yeah, and add a } after the last end

[hidden sable]

so if i had 50 cards in deck i would get 2 back

[drowsy heath]

what i have now doesnt work no im using set ability correctly arnt i

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L2327

[normal crest]

and what is the way you're doing it? there's pretty much only one way you should be making a card lucky and it's how I said

[scarlet imp]

is there a way I can test to see if a hand defeats a Blind or not? currently I have if context.after and not context.end_of_round then but the second condition doesn't seem to do anything

[drowsy heath]

i mean the structure, i dk how to make your line fit into my code

i want it to make all cards held in hand lucky

[normal crest]

replace all this with what I said

[drowsy heath]

oh

thank you and sorry for the confusion

[wild escarp]

How could I condense this into a singular message instead of a message for each card?

if context.main_eval and context.cardarea == "unscored" and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
    return {
        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
        colour = G.C.MULT
    }
end

[normal crest]

the one in line 33 doesn't go there

my bad

[tardy raven]

file structuring drives me a little up the wall

[daring fern]

You would do the message in a different context.

[normal crest]

remove the =

[drowsy heath]

ok

[normal crest]

you made that one up

[normal crest]

try removing the comma on line 32

[drowsy heath]

odd, im tired i might head to bed after i get this one done then

i clearly need it, this whole consumable ive been upside down

[normal crest]

this is just lua syntax, I recommend getting VSCode with the lua extension by sumneko

it will let you know of any syntax errors before launching the game

[wild escarp]

Which context?

[normal crest]

and can automatically format your code to make it easier to read

[tardy raven]

yeah Ive been using Zerobrane for a while

[drowsy heath]

vscode my boo

[tardy raven]

ill grab that shortly

[hidden sable]

😭

[daring fern]

When you want to send the message.

[tardy raven]

works now! genuinely tysm

[hidden sable]

anyone know whwtas wrong here

[tardy raven]

card is functional

[drowsy heath]

whats it supposed to do

[wild escarp]

I tried context.before like my other similar joker and it didn't work.

[scarlet imp]

bump

[hidden sable]

return how much is in the deck but limit it below 8 or 24

[daring fern]

Yes, it has to be in a different if

[drowsy heath]

yeah i got no idea whats wrong

[wild escarp]

Yeah, that's what I did.

local message = false
if context.main_eval and context.cardarea == "unscored" and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
    message = true
end
if context.before and message == true then
    message = false
    return {
        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
        colour = G.C.MULT
    }
end

[hidden sable]

anyone?

[drowsy heath]

okay im calling it a night its nearly 6am and i wanna be alive tomorrow ive slept all day last 3 days and worked at night lmao

[daring fern]

message is set to false everytime calculate is called.

Also context.before happens before context.individual

[hidden sable]

keeps happening when i select the first blind

[wild escarp]

Where could I run it then?

[hidden sable]

turns out this line is REQUIRED

since partners never does a check to see if extras even exists

[vague crest]

one last weird issue, what seems to be happening is it doesnt retrigger any jokers if it cant trigger the joker to the right ?

[scarlet imp]

bump

I also tried context.blind_defeated and it does nothing

[hidden sable]

thanks jacob

[final jewel]

Am I using the right condition for checking the edition of a playing card

[hidden sable]

how can i disable the behavior of cards not showing up twice for only my consumables

like a showman

[scarlet imp]

pretty sure context.final_scoring_step is causing the issue here. This context is used for stuff like Plasma Deck's balancing effect

[final jewel]

I'll try

[hidden sable]

so in_pool(self, args)
return { allow_duplicates = true}

[daring fern]

No, it would be return true, {allow_duplicates = true}

[final jewel]

yeah without that it goes to verify the edition but it crash saying that has_edition has a nil value

[vague crest]

how would i check if blueprint didnt find a joker to retrigger?

or if like, blueprint retriggering a joker doesnt actually do anything

specifically during a hand

because whats definitely happening i tested it more is if joker2trigger isnt anything then jokertrigger never triggers

otherwise it works fine

and this only happens during a hand, it works fine with copying in the shop

[timid parrot]

Is there a way to detect and count the triggering of scoring effects during a hand? Trying to make a Joker that adds mult equal to the number of scoring effects before the Joker is reached in the main Joker scoring step

I had a version before new calc that was very hacky

[scarlet imp]

🙏

[timid parrot]

I found a way a while back. I’d have to check how I did it when I’m back at my PC

[timid parrot]

At what stage do you want to check?

[scarlet imp]

I want it to be in context.after or sometime around then. The Joker's effect is that it gives $3 when played hand does NOT defeat the Blind

[tardy raven]

I assume this is the correct way to format this??? (trying to make a joker which sets cash to 0 and generates a random tag when destroyed, at the set cash to 0 part)

[timid parrot]

Oh yeah I’ve done a joker with that exact trigger before. I can dig that up in a few

[scarlet imp]

thanks lol

[stiff quiver]

whats the prefix for tarot cards?

[timid parrot]

Iirc all consumables are prefixed with c_

[hidden sable]

you can add all the hands used - 1 on the payout screen

[scarlet imp]

no not like that, it's like Todo list where it gives you money mid-blind

[hidden sable]

oh then uhh

[scarlet imp]

that part works fine, I just need to make it so that the effect does not proc when blinds are defeated

[stiff quiver]

thanks

[timid parrot]

If you have the source you can check. I haven’t touched modding in a while

[abstract ingot]

first time coder, I am trying to understand how all this works and am a bit unsure bout my code (and why lots of it is all red)

[timid parrot]

oh right I used some lua injections

[abstract ingot]

do i copy/paste my code itself or screenshot be better?

[hasty mist]

Is there a way to make a joker only appear as a hidden card in spectral packs?

[timid parrot]

idk if there's some API stuff that would get the job done now tho

[abstract ingot]

to share it

[timid parrot]

lemme check that first

[tardy raven]

?

[lament agate]

planet only requires c_ right

like all consumables?

[timid parrot]

ok so this was my hacky solution to tracking chips for joker and blind purposes. Use a different variable name if you want to go this route

[hidden sable]

you are returning an if

[abstract ingot]

first attempt

[timid parrot]

then my context check was context.after and G.GAME.eman_chips < G.GAME.blind.chips

[tardy raven]

so get rid of the return?

[scarlet imp]

so you essentially create a global variable that keeps track of a blind's health?

[timid parrot]

no put the if before the return

[hidden sable]

just don't return an if

[timid parrot]

kinda

I might check how much of what I did was necessary

cuz it's been a while

but that requires I go digging thru the source code

[scarlet imp]

Yeah I think its on the right track though, thanks

[timid parrot]

I know I used it for both a joker and a boss blind

which is probably why there's two injects

[hasty mist]

How do you ensure a joker isn't in it's respective rarity's pool?

[timid parrot]

where do you want it instead?

[tardy raven]

I really gotta figure this shit out 😅

[hasty mist]

nowhere

i want it to keep its rarity, but not be in it's pool

[timid parrot]

prob just set the in_pool function to return false or nil

[hasty mist]

itll have its own condition for being created

[hidden sable]

in_pool = function(self, args)
return false
end

[timid parrot]

uh yeah how much programming experience do you have?

[hasty mist]

ah, ive used that before, i wasnt sure that would work, its caused issues for me before

[hidden sable]

or return nil idk

[tardy raven]

not very much, i'm very much a novice

i know the basics around lua (mostly) but

i'm nowhere near advanced

[timid parrot]

yeah so basically

the ease_dollars part is very much not part of the return

it's something else

[lament agate]

bumpy bump

[hidden sable]

yes

[lament agate]

thanks

[hidden sable]

shoulda just tried it bro

[lament agate]

i mean

i did

i thought it will be different

[hidden sable]

all consumables are c_

[tardy raven]

i see??? man i really wish there was an easier place to understand some of this stuff since it really isn't in the api doc

[hidden sable]

planet, tarot, spectral

it's all c_

even my custom consumables are c_

[hidden sable]

yeah it's called the lua docs

learn lua

you are writing in lua

[timid parrot]

what are you even trying to do exactly?

[tardy raven]

^ (Sets cash to 0 when sold and generates a random tag)

wanted to figure out the sets cash to 0 part first

[timid parrot]

sets cash to 0 part is just this

[lament agate]

did i do something wrong?

[hidden sable]

you could probably do it without patches with some shenanigans with hands used

[daring fern]

There is already a Planet pool.

[hidden sable]

nubby word what is this

just use the Planet pool

[hasty mist]

How do you target all jokers to the right of a joker?

[lament agate]

you guys couldve told me

[hidden sable]

what do you mean

[lament agate]

😭

[hidden sable]

we didn't know the damn this ou were trying to do

[hasty mist]

like how blueprint targets the joker to the right, but for every joker to the right

[lament agate]

BAHAHAHAHA

alright fair

[hasty mist]

the including part was a misspeak

my bad

[lament agate]

how do you get to the planet's pool tho

[timid parrot]

what's the exact effect of the joker?

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet

[hidden sable]

index for loop for all jokers with a greater index than the current card

[daring fern]

for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if i > my_pos then
        table.insert(cardstotheright, G.jokers.cards[i])
    end
end

my_pos is the position of the joker that you would've put in a variable.

[tardy raven]

crashes when sold

[timid parrot]

at that point, don't you just set i to my_pos + 1?

[hasty mist]

alrighty, thank you

[timid parrot]

and skip the whole if statement that's kinda pointless

[hasty mist]

i dont understand for loops yet even though ive been really trying

[timid parrot]

oh yeah cuz to_big isn't defined

[tardy raven]

ahh

where would I do that

sorry for my amaturish nature i'm kinda learning smods as I go along

[timid parrot]

yeah that's from the Cryptid mod, but to make your own fallback if Cryptid isn't loaded, you'll define one in your main lua file

[tardy raven]

should probably re-read the manual a few times along the way

[daring fern]

No, that's from Talisman

[hasty mist]

actually its from talisman

[tardy raven]

ohh

[timid parrot]

sorry, Talisman

mb

[tardy raven]

well I def don't have talisman

should I grab it or is there a workaround

[hidden sable]

there would be 2 entries of one joker

[timid parrot]

add this line to your main lua file to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end

[timid parrot]

why?

it's just the start index of the for loop?

[hidden sable]

sorry misread

[timid parrot]

for i=(my_pos + 1), #G.jokers.cards do
    table.insert(cardstotheright, G.jokers.cards[i])
end

[tardy raven]

works! now I just need to figure out how the hell to draw from a random tag

[hidden sable]

yeah this work work mb gang

[timid parrot]

I'm optimizing this lol

I don't think a bunch of ? reactions is a substitute for a question

[abstract ingot]

error launching, total rookie at coding so I'm confused when looking at this section of my code

the code for ref

[daring fern]

You're missing ,s after the strings.

[abstract ingot]

ohhh

gotcha

[hidden sable]

when mr poly bridge reacts ❓ to my message

[timid parrot]

gonna bump this now

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

i feel like mr poly bridge is a gd fan, only they would do this

[hidden sable]

you're gonna wait until they ask how before responding with

[timid parrot]

ok how?

[hidden sable]

i can feel it

in my bones

[daring fern]

Hook SMODS.calculate_individual_effect

[timid parrot]

guess I gotta look at the SMODS source?

[hidden sable]

dammit he actually has a solution

[hidden sable]

no just hook it

like any other hook

[timid parrot]

I need to know what parameters it has to hook it lmao

[hidden sable]

nuh uh

[scarlet imp]

what's the global value for the amount of chips the player has already scored

[daring fern]

(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)

[daring fern]

G.GAME.chips or hand_chips for current hand.

[hidden sable]

game.chips

forgot the h

G

I MEANT G

[tardy raven]

unsure where to start with this, is there a place to get a bit more insight at to what things I can do to draw from tag pools or somethin' similar?? sorry for the novice questions 😅

[timid parrot]

what page on the wiki is the function documented (if it is)?

[daring fern]

It isn't.

[timid parrot]

damn

and this is how I find out that they added support for X chips

[sonic cedar]

Why did you try to predict somecom behavior? Foolish endeavor

[scarlet imp]

real

boutta get hit with the ❓

[faint yacht]

Such has been worth exploring this for copy support.

[timid parrot]

it worked. Thank you

[hidden sable]

can't you compare the blinds chips in final scoring step

[scarlet imp]

i figured it out, but maybe you could

I want to do it in context.after though

[timid parrot]

is it a better solution than I came up with?

because I could use a solution that's better than injects lmao

[hidden sable]

mr poly bridge suggestion: instead of 🤷‍♂️ use

[scarlet imp]

I still patched the game, but I patched the Vanilla code instead to make a global variable that tracks each blind's health. You want the patch?

[timid parrot]

sure

[scarlet imp]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "blind.lua"
pattern = "self.chips = get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante)*self.mult*G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling"
position = "before"
payload = '''
G.GAME.blind_health = get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante)*self.mult*G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling
'''
match_indent = true
times = 1

then, to check whether or not the played hand defeats a Blind, I do this:

if context.after and G.GAME.chips + hand_chips * mult < G.GAME.blind_health then

works perfectly, and isn't too difficult to understand I think

I think the global variable is gonna be really useful to me later on too, since I want to add other Jokers with similar effects

[timid parrot]

wait are hand_chips and mult globals?

[sonic cedar]

i mean someone got hit

[hidden sable]

G.GAME.blind.chips in question:

[scarlet imp]

this is in the context of a Joker's calculate function, so they're defined here. Not sure if its global since it wouldn't make much sense in the shop for example

[timid parrot]

shiiit I didn't need a patch at all

[scarlet imp]

bruhhhh

frl

I'm so dumb 😭

[hidden sable]

yall reinventing the wheel or what?

[tardy raven]

?

[abstract ingot]

im losin' it

[scarlet imp]

nah I just love patching lmao

[hidden sable]

press shift alt f

[hidden sable]

next patch is jus remaking balatro

next patch is gonna be making a mod using nothing but patching

[timid parrot]

usually what I do when I go digging and don't find what I need initially

[hidden sable]

why are all the jokers so happy, can we get one joker that's just depressed af

[tardy raven]

no change

[timid parrot]

canio

[hidden sable]

that's my attempt to format your awfully formatted code

[hidden sable]

he doesn't exist, he died in 1870

what are the legendary jokers even based on?

[scarlet imp]

Canio bruv

[hidden sable]

he doesn't exist he died in 1870

[scarlet imp]

I've never seen Canio in my life officer

[hidden sable]

spot what's wrong with this image chat

[timid parrot]

nothing, those are the 6 jokers you can get from the soul

[hidden sable]

it's not jimbo

[timid parrot]

wait whaaa

is it a magnified wee joker?

[scarlet imp]

Jimbo at home:

[hidden sable]

also for those who don't know if you have all soul jokers the next soul will make jimbo

[hidden sable]

nope no trickery like that

look at the finer details

[timid parrot]

you miscolored his uh... idk what those dots are called

they match the wrong part of his hat

[hasty mist]

i know whats wrong, theyre not yuri /silly

[timid parrot]

just comparing it to this

[hidden sable]

nothing about miscoloring, if it's miscolored, then that's fault of the fact i got this image online

[timid parrot]

well uh that's 3 guesses wrong so uh

what is it?

[hidden sable]

also some pixel scaling is off but it's not that

[hidden sable]

look at perkeo

[sonic cedar]

Perkeo eye
Next question

[hidden sable]

he isn't checking for his opps anymore

[timid parrot]

ohhhh

[sonic cedar]

Oh we did it already

[timid parrot]

oof

[sonic cedar]

damn

[hidden sable]

fun fact the irl versions of trib and yorick wore red not blue or orange and black

[sonic cedar]

that wasnt fun at all

[timid parrot]

so I'm making a boss blind and this doesn't seem to be triggering

[hidden sable]

spot what's wrong in this image

[timid parrot]

or rather, something's off cuz it's supposed to destroy your winning hand

but it isn't doing that

[hidden sable]

the wrong part is canio died in 1870 so he can't be real

[crisp coral]

this is the fucking modding dev chat

#🕹・game-discussion

[hidden sable]

#🕹・game-discussion died in 1870 so it's not real

[formal parrot]

Good morning dev chat

[floral narwhal]

WTF is this?!!

[formal parrot]

Looks normal

[hidden sable]

took negative too seriously

[formal parrot]

Negative chip value goes unreasonably hard

[floral narwhal]

Its same for mult

how can i fix it?

[hidden sable]

what did you even do

[floral narwhal]

made a mod with minus topic

like minus ranks and ....

[sonic cedar]

Stack overflow

💥

[hidden sable]

[timid parrot]

do blinds have a calculate context for destroying cards?

[floral narwhal]

does it have value in main game that set W numbers?

[floral narwhal]

like 0,1,2,3,4....

[hidden sable]

[timid parrot]

what's it supposed to do?

[floral narwhal]

making chip value show minus numbers

[timid parrot]

probably requires some kind of lua injection

[tardy raven]

is there a way to make it so this calc requires 3 of the same card to execute?

[timid parrot]

so like each card triggers the effect if there's 3 of them?

[tardy raven]

the idea is that it's a joker that only triggers if there's 6 of the same card

3 i mean LMAO

three 6's in one hand = joker gives chips

[timid parrot]

oh that's the main scoring step

and a for loop

[floral narwhal]

like overwriting variable type?

[timid parrot]

idk

I don't know how it all determines the display, but there's probably a bug that prevents it from rendering negative numbers

[abstract ingot]

There should be extra in line 38?

[tardy raven]

seems to make sense, elaborate on the for loop part? just wanna be sure I get this right

[floral narwhal]

thats not only problem this is problem cause if i paly this hand minus values turns into positive values

[timid parrot]

I feel like you should really read the smods docs

[timid parrot]

what's turning into positive values?

[tardy raven]

ive read through them a decent bit but not in their interity

[timid parrot]

like -2 x -200 = 400?

[floral narwhal]

no this is what i want but when i play it instead of -2 X -200 shows 2 X 200

[timid parrot]

oh

[hidden sable]

no lua docs

[timid parrot]

both

[pale holly]

Trying to make my voucher so it gives double tags for any blind skipped but it'll crash the moment i redeem it with a Context is Nil error, any help please ?
(i also used vanilla remade for the double tag part, edited it partially)

    key = 'solarwind',
        loc_txt= {
        name = 'Solar Wind',
        text = {
        "Complete itself with the Slide",
        "Double tags for each blind skipped"
    }
},
requires = { 'cymbal_slide_redeemed' },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    redeem = function(self, card)
        check_for_unlock({ 'solarwind_redeemed' })
    if context.skip_blind and not context.blueprint then
                    return {
                func = function()
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = (function()
                            add_tag(Tag('tag_double'))
                            play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                            play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
                            return true
                        end)
                    }))
                end
            }
        end
    end,
}```

[timid parrot]

man I love technical debt

somehow, somewhere, I managed to make retriggers stop working

how? idk

[pale holly]

retriggers out of stock

[tardy raven]

retrigger machine broke

[timid parrot]

imma just update my smods and see if that fixes it

[hidden sable]

what's technical debt

[timid parrot]

when the shit in your programming catches up to you

in my case it's discovering that my poorly documented code broke the retrigger machine

[formal parrot]

When you leave some bugs to fix later or adjust you build up debt that you’ll eventually need to fix
Like not making a localization file and instead making a loc_txt in every joker then deciding i want a localization file now you have shit ton of stuff to edit

[timid parrot]

...

that's something I should probably do, huh

[formal parrot]

Probably before its too late

[timid parrot]

yeah

[formal parrot]

Its easier imo

[timid parrot]

oh I'm sure it is once it's set up

currently tho I need to figure out what in God's name I did to break retriggers as a mechanic

[formal parrot]

I’ve spent 2 hours figuring it out because i was using mod key instead of prefix

[timid parrot]

oof

[formal parrot]

Yeah probably don’t do that lmao

[tardy raven]

still tryna figure out the whole "loop" part, though the joker does work based on 6's being used

tried doing this which i quickly realized was stupid and unintuitive

[pale holly]

wait the loop part is when trying to exactly score three 6s right ?

[pale holly]

if ((function()
local rankCount = 0
for i, c in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
if c:get_id() == 6 then
rankCount = rankCount + 1
end
end
return rankCount == 3
end

it should be something like this, i worked on a joker require exact precise cards too earlier

[tardy raven]

if hand contains 3 6's then yeah, wouldnt need to specifically be a 3 of a kind with 6's

[pale holly]

then use that, you might need to arange a bit but that way it'll make so it detect there's three 6s, though that way it won't react if there's more than three 6s

[tardy raven]

alright, i'll give this a shot

[pale holly]

this is how my full code looks like with this implemented

if that can help to see how it should be used

Also, Joker Forge is what i used for the specific triggers of played cards x time in the played hand, you should find it in the #1209506514763522108 tab, it's still a huge wip but it can be useful

[tardy raven]

might have formatted this incorrectly?

[pale holly]

there's two (( in red, i think it's a syntax error

[timid parrot]

ok I fixed the retrigger machine

[pale holly]

i think you forgot to put a end after return rankCount == 3

[timid parrot]

here's a point of advice, don't forget the return part of your hook

[lament agate]

how do you fix this
