sick

[real night]

help

[granite nymph]

does anyone know why the colors arent workibng

it crashes when i hover over the joker

i can just do it for you if you want

or i can explain it

[manic rune]

shouldnt you only have colors in colours?

oh wait nvm, hm

[real night]

im not really in need im just curious

whats like the function for it

[granite nymph]

you could combine the code for walkie talkie and one of the hand jokers

[flat siren]

when someone gets a chance to look at this id be grateful

[granite nymph]

like taket he conditions for jolly joker and add the mult and chips from walkie tyalkie

[real night]

no like

add base chips and mult to a poker hand

like leveling it up kina

[granite nymph]

custom tarot card perhaps

i mean planet

[manic rune]

oh wait, colours should be in vars i think

you are putting it outside

[manic rune]

try adding message_card = context.other_card in the first return, maybe

[flat siren]

i did try card = context.other_card so maybe that will do it

edit: no change, unfortunately

[ivory coral]

hello lads
im trying to figure out some ui stuff just so i can understand how it all works incase its useful
and im on the smods wiki UI Guide page following it, but i feel like im missing something big
like ive figured out how ui nodes work got a function that returns the root node a ui thingy
but i am not understanding what a UIBox is at all
i copied over from the guide anyway and like, i dont know what comes after that? like where actually is the ui i just coded how do i see it in-game

[pearl jacinth]

this is the config

config = {extra = {type = "..."}},```
why does
```lua
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return {vars = {card.ability.extra.type, colours = {G.C.SECONDARY_SET[card.ability.extra.type]}}}
end,``` crash

[daring fern]

Log?

[pearl jacinth]

let me test something

[vague crest]

just reached 45 functional jokers thanks so much everyone 🥳

[scarlet imp]

How does the game know to change the colour of a consumable's "Use" button to red when its use condition is met? I can only see one colour defined in the use_and_sell_buttons function for consumables

[wanton adder]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1290482086247010375 its back

[pearl jacinth]

oh i think i figured it out

i was making a seal

and i used card.ability instead

[flat siren]

just looks a bit shit is all

[red flower]

try doing the crash message when the card scores too

[final jewel]

why do I get the cash with the right message but I get a second message saying error after

[granite nymph]

hello my name is car and i made this song for everyone

[thorn furnace]

I've noticed something else strange actually
It grows in size a little on the initial click
You have to cycle back to "locked"/"unlocked" a second time before it's the proper size, no matter if it's the first click or not (it's just more noticeable on the first click)

i think anyway
I could be hallucinating ive been looking at this for an hour

[granite nymph]

how do i make this destroy erntire hand

[red flower]

because dollars already handles the message automatically and the message key is wrong

[final jewel]

oooooooooooooooooh 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

[real night]

im gonna ask again

[flat siren]

I made it work by first marking cards for deletion which solves pointing to the specific card with a message during the deletion phase

[red flower]

oh is that what you wanted

you could have done message_card = context.destroy_card

[flat siren]

oh

let me try that

this is my first time making a mod for anything so im blind here

[granite nymph]

bu

[flat siren]

yea that. that did it. drop in on the old code i shared LMAO

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and (context.cardarea == G.play or context.cardarea == "unscored") then
    return {remove = true}
end

[lament agate]

how do you detect if the player is in certain Ante while also in certain rounds

say, he's in Ante 8 in just 6 rounds

[flat siren]

Similar problem, my "Again!" text for doing repetition triggered by Joker appears on the played card in hand rather than on the Joker during scoring. i'd like it to be more like the Dusk card

        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only then
            return {
                message     = 'Car!',
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                card        = context.other_card
            }
        end

[manic rune]

i mean, you are putting the message under the scored card there

[flat siren]

yea i think im misunderstanding how things are working

yea i just needed to not be using card = context.other_card

[red flower]

i think
G.GAME.round_resets.ante
G.GAME.round
or something like that i dont have the code rn

[errant fulcrum]

Can anyone tell me why this activates for all cards discarded and not just the ones with the seal?

        if context.discard and context.cardarea == G.hand and card.seal == 'leshys_beeswithin' then
            SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', area = G.hand, no_edition = true, enhancement = 'm_gold'})
        end
    end,```

[daring fern]

and context.other_card == card

[lament agate]

@daring fern @grok is this true

[vague crest]

trying to fix a weird hook bug, is this the right way to call it?

[granite nymph]

this doesnt work

[red flower]

u know you can open the game and test it in the console right

[lament agate]

oh fuck you're right

[red flower]

remove the prefix from the definition (the second image)

[granite nymph]

could i maybe make other card every card in the hand

or at leasrt a specific slot

[vague crest]

oh wait is a prefix needed as well in the first image? ei see

[daring fern]

Code?

[flat siren]

Does anyone have a mod or resource I can look at to try and implement adding mult as many times as there are a certain rank in your deck? like +3 mult for every 9

[granite nymph]

vremade cloud nine maybe?

you would have to tweak the code a lot

[flat siren]

as long as it can tell me how to check the deck then it shoulddd be okay

[red flower]

yeah it can https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/975e35dce07617c7a9db01ce032152b07e4f0f2f/src/jokers.lua#L2070

[flat siren]

oh very nice

[sullen brook]

Any idea why my varSeal variable isn't working here? I grabbed this code straight from the examples page in SealsMod.lua only modifying the entry in config. This works to apply the seal if I type the key of the seal manually into set_seal, but when I use the variable, nothing happens. Weirdest thing is this was working until just now when I was tinkering with another event, and now it's borked.

[daring fern]

Because it would be card.ability.varseal

[sullen brook]

Wow... It's entirely too late at night.

Disregard all that.

Thanks -_-

[scarlet imp]

shouldn't G.STATE be G.STATES.packname when you're inside the menu for a Booster Pack? Like G.STATES.BUFFOON_PACK for example

[thorn furnace]

bump in case anyone can find out why

[wet chasm]

how are we able to get the base code for balatro, surely its encrypted

[scarlet imp]

very easy to access as long as you own the game actually. There's a YouTube video on how to get access to it that's very easy to follow

[daring fern]

No.

[wet chasm]

i mean more in like a general sense, gmaes are usually encrypted right?

[scarlet imp]

I'm not a game dev, but I'm sure they usually are for security purposes

[wet chasm]

true mb

[scarlet imp]

then what would it be? Are those states unused?

[sonic cedar]

does context.post_trigger only apply to other jokers, or can i make it apply to itself?

-# also good evening

[glass scaffold]

Just exited my custom blind and got this error.

[daring fern]

It triggers when any joker triggers, as long as it is enabled.

[limber marlin]

simple question, how do you apply a sticker onto a joker?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Stickers["modprefix_key"]:apply(card, true)

[limber marlin]

thanks

[daring fern]

G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED?

[sonic cedar]

ok but i need it to be specifically this card, so will card == card work here?

[daring fern]

No, it would be context.other_card == card

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh

thanks

[scarlet imp]

thanks. Is there a way I can mess with the cards inside of a booster pack? like context.other_card or something

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gusty sequoia]

How would I make a deck that gives an extra joker slot?

[limber marlin]

Another simple question, how do you get only the jokers in shop? The way I'm trying isn't working, as it's getting the jokers held by the player too

[limber marlin]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/backs.lua Look at the black deck for reference

[gusty sequoia]

Thanks :D

[daring fern]

G.shop_jokers.cards

[opaque relic]

can someone tell me why i get squigglies here (at the bottom). mod runs fine and im assuming everything is proper but idk if im missing something

[limber marlin]

add the balatro source code to your workspace

[daring fern]

No.

[opaque relic]

😭

[limber marlin]

Thats how I fixed it..

[daring fern]

You need to add the lovely dump to your workspace.

[opaque relic]

ahh

[opaque relic]

ty!

[scarlet imp]

?

[daring fern]

The cards are in G.pack_cards.cards

[spark remnant]

how do I get the rarity of the card being sold during context.selling_card? according to wiki card = card -- the card being sold so card.config.center.rarity should work but it returns the rarity of the joker

[daring fern]

context.card.config.center.rarity

[spark remnant]

ah, thank you

[scarlet imp]

when I click the "Use" button on my Joker, how can I get the game to execute the code I need it to? rn it's just doing nothing lol

[daring fern]

Code?

[scarlet imp]

I figured it out I think

[sullen brook]

How does one call all objects of a certain type at the same time? Lets say seals for example, but the results include both modded and vanilla?

I'm trying to see if I can utilize a math.random to scroll through the number of available seals in the game, pick one, and set the name to a variable for later use.

[sonic cedar]

how would i add a button to a joker? like how they have SELL

[chrome widget]

....how much time do you have

[sonic cedar]

p- lenty

i knew i was in for it off rip lmfao

[timid parrot]

how do I add a random seal to a card?

(allowing modded seals)

[chrome widget]

Basically, you're primarily looking at hooking G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons() (which is for mouse ui) and G.UIDEF.card_focus_ui() (for controller ui)

[static dagger]

How do I only run code in a calculate if the joker is not being retriggered?

[sonic cedar]

set_seal(SMODS.poll_seal({ guaranteed = true, type_key = 'pseudoseedstringgoeshere' }))

[scarlet imp]

I just got done doing this lol

well, "done" might be a bit of an overstep

[sonic cedar]

sighhhh hello somecom /j

[sonic cedar]

[glass scaffold]

i would genuinely love to know how to add a button so I can replace the Spectrals in my mod to fuse Jokers.

[thorn furnace]

same
tho I'm still struggling with the details

[thorn furnace]

speaking of which
bump

[chrome widget]

I can put one together for you if you need. What's the circumstance for it?

[thorn furnace]

It is very weird how we're all coincidentally doing this at the same time

[scarlet imp]

do you just want to add a simple "Use" button or something else?

[sonic cedar]

guh

...unless something like this wouldnt be done in the calculate ofc

[chrome widget]

No

[scarlet imp]

so like the other person said, you'll want to hook G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons and use nodes to add new buttons to the card

[chrome widget]

Basically, when you create buttons in the ui, you can pass a function key into it, which it looks for in the G.FUNCS table that automatically passes the UI node in as a parameter

[sonic cedar]

okay okay im getting ya

[chrome widget]

So you'll have to define your handler function as G.FUNCS.whatever(e)

[scarlet imp]

one thing I did to make my life a bit easier is have G.FUNCS.function_name and also a Card:function_name, and have the G.FUNCS one reference the Card: one, that way you can define the behavior of the button within the card itself rather than inside of the G.FUNCS function

[sonic cedar]

uh
Huhh

guess ill start workshopping ✊

[sullen brook]

Can I use this for a seed string? It keeps returning purple seals every time.

[scarlet imp]

function Card:tboi_can_use(any_state, skip_check)
    if not skip_check and ((G.play and #G.play.cards > 0) or
        (G.CONTROLLER.locked) or
        (G.GAME.STOP_USE and G.GAME.STOP_USE > 0))
        then return false end
    if G.STATE ~= G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED and G.STATE ~= G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND and G.STATE ~= G.STATES.PLAY_TAROT or any_state then
        return self.config.center.tboi_can_use(self, self)
    end
    return false
end

-- Color change for TBoI Jokers
G.FUNCS.tboi_can_use = function(e)
    if e.config.ref_table:tboi_can_use(false, false) then
        e.config.colour = G.C.RED
        e.config.button = "use_card"
    else
        e.config.colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE
        e.config.button = nil
    end
end

this is what I'm talking about, but I don't think its strictly necessary

[daring fern]

No.

Remove the type_key.

[sullen brook]

In that case, what is type_key referencing?

[daring fern]

The seed to use for the randomness of the seal.

[sullen brook]

Hmmm

[pure salmon]

why is config.lua like this

stop that

[sonic cedar]

[unborn bay]

[G] true

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/923318640567279697.webp?size=48

[pure salmon]

can it please save my changes

[unborn bay]

delete your config then

like. the config jkr file

in your config folder

[thorn furnace]

this is the stupidest fix I have ever had to do to fix a UI issue

[unborn bay]

what is this shit my dude

why is it repeated 4 times 😭

[thorn furnace]

it does not work if it is repeated any less than four times

[scarlet imp]

actually 5 lol

[thorn furnace]

recalculated five times
the G.FUNCS thing is done four times for parity

[scarlet imp]

computers are magical lol

[thorn furnace]

well
not completely fixed
but now it's one issue instead of like three

[scarlet imp]

probably just gotta mess with the padding and offsets in your nodes now, right?

[thorn furnace]

i mean if you click the button then it returns to normal

so you'd think it would just need to reupdate

[scarlet imp]

huh, weird

[thorn furnace]

...do you think eight times would work

[scarlet imp]

you know what that means, Ctrl+c -> Ctrl+v a sixth time

[thorn furnace]

this feels like an insult to programming as a whole

unfortunately eight times did not work

[scarlet imp]

sometimes I look back at my coding assignments from my first semester in college and feel the same way

[scarlet imp]

damn, maybe 42, the coding number

[thorn furnace]

my first semester in uni had some abhorrent python code

I programmed a game where like 3/4 of the code without exaggeration was regexes

[scarlet imp]

I programmed connect 4 for one of my assignments as we had to make a computer player and mine was... inefficient, to say the least

[hollow crest]

has anyone found a way to do this?

[scarlet imp]

when its the computer's turn to move it takes like a second to continue the program

[thorn furnace]

did you use minimax

[scarlet imp]

I was new to programming, I didn't even know what minimax was lmao

[thorn furnace]

unfortunate

[scarlet imp]

I used brute force, looking 2 moves into the future

[thorn furnace]

...only two moves?

[scarlet imp]

thankfully since connect 4 only has 6 moves max it was only 6^3 possible moves

[thorn furnace]

like two moves for each person or two moves in total

[scarlet imp]

well the current move, the opponent's response, then the move after that

it was bad, I could definitely do it better now with minimax and alpha-beta pruning if I actually cared

[thorn furnace]

The thing is that tic tac toe should be a brute forceable game

like three moves is just (10 - initial turn count)P3 moves in total, right?

[scarlet imp]

yeah, computationaly its not very complex

[thorn furnace]

yea

[scarlet imp]

ahhh back to the Discrete Comp days

that class was fun

[thorn furnace]

well
I guess that number would be a strict max because games would end before that

[scarlet imp]

pretty sure this counts possible board states

[thorn furnace]

it's how many paths of three moves you could have chosen

assuming game overs don't exist and ruin everything

[scarlet imp]

right right, 9! would be the amount of board states

[thorn furnace]

yeah

9P9

[scarlet imp]

but its way overcounted because of all the possible boards with 3 in a row

[thorn furnace]

I mean even still it's not too much of a problem

9! is what like uhh

is it 362880 or is that 10!

[scarlet imp]

yeah you got it

[thorn furnace]

yea

wait I'm dumb it couldn't have been 10! because 36288 isn't divisible by 5

anyway

[scarlet imp]

shh

[thorn furnace]

less than a million is usually pretty trivial to calculate nowadays

I would even say the same for a billion if your code is decent enough

[scarlet imp]

yeah

if num < 1000000000:
  num+=1
  print(num)

type shit lol

[thorn furnace]

did u mean "while"

[scarlet imp]

whoops

I gotta sleep

[thorn furnace]

go eep

[scarlet imp]

but this damn use button won't work

[thorn furnace]

unrelated but it upsets me that Lua does not have +=
It takes like six seconds to implement; I've made programming languages before it's like the least difficult part of it

[scarlet imp]

I KNOW

or ++

[thorn furnace]

yea

[scarlet imp]

like even Python at least has +=

[chrome widget]

WHY DOES LUA NOT HAVE INCREMENT OPERATORS ANFHFHDHDHDH

[limber marlin]

on god

[scarlet imp]

time to start the change.org page

[thorn furnace]

every language should follow in the steps of C# where if any binary operator a # b is followed by = (like a #= b), it is automatically parsed as a = a # b

[limber marlin]

lua++

[thorn furnace]

not entirely out of the realm of possibility

TypeScript was made because JS was so bad they had to make TypeScript

[scarlet imp]

does anyone know why G.STATE is G.STATES.PLAY_TAROT in the shop hahahascbnaoienfoianwfcmac

i'm going crazy with this dumb button

[thorn furnace]

it should also follow in the steps of C# about being able to overload operators
I am sick and tired of saying a.add(b) or a.plus(b) whenever I use a non-native type

[sonic cedar]

does anyone remember the thing that lets you test ui stuff without me having to open the game
see failure
change thing
reboot
repeat

[thorn furnace]

is that a thing

[sonic cedar]

i could also be going insane so keep that in mind

[thorn furnace]

Could be?

We're programming in a custom engine that's the default here

[sonic cedar]

function Card:hpfx_transform_button(card)
    local transform = nil
    if card.area and card.area.config.type == 'joker' then
    transform = {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cr"}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.C, config={ref_table = card, align = "cr",padding = 0.1, r=0.08, minw = 1.25, hover = true,
      shadow = true, colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE, one_press = true, button = 'hpfx_Transform', func = 'hpfx_can_transform'},
      nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.B, config = {w=0.1,h=0.6}},
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "tm"}, nodes={
          {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", maxw = 1.25}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('hpfx_shed'),colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.4, shadow = true}}
          }}
        }}
      }},
    }}
    end
end

G.FUNCS.hpfx_can_transform = function (e)
    if e.config.ref_table:hpfx_can_transform(false, false) then
        e.config.colour = G.C.RED
        e.config.button = 'hpfx_Transform'
    else
      e.config.colour = G.C.hpfx_IjiGray
      e.config.button = nil
    end
end

so here's my overrides setup so far where do i go from here

[scarlet imp]

has anyone ever hooked use_card before

I'm boutta lose it

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sonic cedar]

well make up your mind will you 😭

[scarlet imp]

im sayin

[sonic cedar]

/j

[chrome widget]

You're gonna want to make this a G.UIDEF() function instead, and return the nodes

[sonic cedar]

both sections?

or just that top one

[scarlet imp]

both

[chrome widget]

You'd return transform, if it's valid

[scarlet imp]

the function that will actually do stuff in game is going to be referenced by the node

[chrome widget]

Then you're gonna need to hook G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons() and insert it somewhere into the larger node tree of those buttons

[sonic cedar]

okay right

[thorn furnace]

I guess just to post the updated problem here with actual detail
Here is an example of it
On the first click it's all messed up but it fixes itself after you unselect and reselect the card (or after you click the button twice)
The button doesn't do anything besides change a boolean so it can't be the code for the button

[sonic cedar]

am i doing it right so far

[daring fern]

No.

[chrome widget]

Need to do G.UIDEF. in the redeclararion, and remove the parenthesis from your local reference

[timid parrot]

Forgot to say this earlier but thank you for the help

Is there a wiki page with all these helpers and stuff?

[thorn furnace]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility i think

well
I guess that doesn't have all of them

[sonic cedar]

ok fixed
do i just do something like "if card area is G.jokers and [condition so this only applies to a certain or certain jokers] then return the function"
am i at least close this time 😭

-# somecom im gonna get you lmfao

[chrome widget]

Technically you already do that in the inner function, so really you'd just have to use the return from that function. Otherwise it'll be nil, and it just won't do anything on the tree

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok

so

no nvm i dont get it 🥀

[scarlet imp]

dw you're not alone

I'm dying over here

[sonic cedar]

hi 1 up

[scarlet imp]

its actually d6 but I haven't made the sprite yet lol

[sonic cedar]

hi d6

[thorn furnace]

hi d6 but I haven't made the sprite yet lol

[feral tree]

is there any limit to the atlas size?

[scarlet imp]

you mean the size of the image?

[feral tree]

yeah

[scarlet imp]

well mine is 1500x3600 and it works fine so probably not lol

[feral tree]

aw sonnuva bitch i've been restricting myself to 138x186 for nothing

[thorn furnace]

divide the size of your hard drive by the dimensions of each sprite and by 4 bytes

[sonic cedar]

🙏

[scarlet imp]

I thnink it would be the other function you made, hpfx_transform_button

[sonic cedar]

ohhh yeah the actual button lmfao

[chrome widget]

No

[sonic cedar]

nvm

[chrome widget]

You're gonna need to get the original return from the local ref of the function and slot it in somewhere here

The tree provided by G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons() is this:

  n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {padding = 0, colour = G.C.CLEAR}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.C, config={padding = 0.15, align = 'cl'}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = 'cl'}, nodes={
        sell
      }},
      {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = 'cl'}, nodes={
        use
      }},
    }},
}}```

[scarlet imp]

if I have button = "tboi_use_card" inside of my button node it should be referencing this function when clicked, right?

[chrome widget]

every time I see "tboi" I think it's abt smth else

[scarlet imp]

I think I'm gonna call it a night, this button is making me sadge

and by "call it a night" I mean "play Isaac for about 2 hours then sleep after if possible"

[chrome widget]

function G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons(card)
  local ret = thunk(card)
  local inner_nodes = ret.nodes[1].nodes
  inner_nodes[#inner_nodes+1] = {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = 'cl'}, nodes={
    G.UIDEF.hpfx_transform_button()
  }}
  return ret
end```

[scarlet imp]

return ret?

[sonic cedar]

and here i was writing something completely different i was cooked

[chrome widget]

probably this. Additionally under the assumption that jokers cannot be consumables, you could also do this I suppose

function G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons(card)
  local ret = thunk(card)
  local inner_nodes = ret.nodes[1].nodes[2].nodes
  inner_nodes[#inner_nodes+1] = G.UIDEF.hpfx_transform_button()
  return ret
end```

Which just puts it in the same node level as the use button, and depending on the card it'll just show one or the other

[sonic cedar]

well i mean it is for jokers so i should use this one then right

[chrome widget]

Both work, really, though the latter option might have less spacing by default?

Since there's not an extra row node added?

[sonic cedar]

like less than the sell button?

[chrome widget]

No I mean, this is ordering a descending row of buttons (you can see this in game, the sell button is above the use button for consumables)

[sonic cedar]

ohhh you meant on the card

[chrome widget]

The second option essentially contextually swaps the use button for the transform button on jokers, since on jokers the use button will be nil, and on consumables the transform button will be nil. The first option adds a unique row for the transform button below where the use button would be

And idk if there's some default spacing/padding that would have an increased gap or w/e. Haven't tried it lol

[sonic cedar]

ok i should use the latter in this instance then
especially since i dont have any jokers that would need a use button lmao

[chrome widget]

Yep yep

Cant guarantee it'll work 100%, UI is fickle and if there are other issues with the code I didn't immediately catch em

[sonic cedar]

only one way to find out i--wait how do i add it to the card

[chrome widget]

it should just add it automatically

[frigid cargo]

calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then
                return {
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            trigger = 'after',
                            delay = 0.3,
                            card:juice_up(),
                    })),
                    dollars = card.ability.extra.jack_dollars,
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
                }
            end
        end
    end

i want to make the dollars activate per repetition too but idk how

[chrome widget]

G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons() is called from Card:highlight() as the definition for a new UIBox

[scarlet imp]

look at the code for Rough Gem, could give you some help probabl

[chrome widget]

So by hooking the function, it'll just get added to the UI when the card is clicked like normal

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[sonic cedar]

but then what if i only want it to apply to specific cards?

[chrome widget]

change the conditions that cause G.UIDEF.hpfx_transform_button() to return

In the one you sent me, you're only checking that it's in your joker slots

[chrome widget]

Here

[sonic cedar]

ohh ok

[scarlet imp]

you could also add a field in the card's config, and the button only gets placed when the field is there

[sonic cedar]

uh huhhh

oh god why is this folder load crashing now

[small tartan]

Can i see the crash error

Not all, Just a bit

[scarlet imp]

look down, did it have an error parsing a file?

[small tartan]

There is a value that isnt initialized

And it's nil, maybe wrong call

[sonic cedar]

something's wrong with my nanners apparently

[scarlet imp]

usually it says the line near that if you look around a bit

like forgetting to close a function or something like that

[sonic cedar]

ahhhh i guess they didnt like me hitting enter here

it being "ambiguous syntax" and all

oh
new crash
oh it's all gonna be ambiguous syntax huh

yeah there we go

and G.STATE ~= G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL?

[daring fern]

Show more code.

[sonic cedar]

itd be better if i sent the whole thing actually

[small tartan]

GUYS

[sonic cedar]

the crash only happens when i click on the card

[small tartan]

I DID IT!!! Converting ranks works!!

[daring fern]

Where are you calling this function?

[sonic cedar]

overrides file

[daring fern]

Are you inputting a card?

[small tartan]

Would It not be Better making function name = Globalfunchere?

[scarlet imp]

I was having something similar happen before too, make sure you have both the can_use and use actually defined so that it's not trying to read a nil value

[small tartan]

First line you sent

[small tartan]

I solved like this in the end

[sonic cedar]

ok wait i might not be wdym

[small tartan]

It was Crazy stupid, maybe Yesterday i had too much burnout going on

[flat siren]

he is here..

[small tartan]

Car+ Cloud Nine would be cool

[daring fern]

When you are calling this function, is the first input a card object?

[flat siren]

it would, it's based off of the cloud nine example code someone posted here earlier

[sonic cedar]

oops

[scarlet imp]

classic

[sonic cedar]

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY

[scarlet imp]

happens to the best of us

[sonic cedar]

what do you WANT from me

if self.config and self.config.func and (((self.config.button_UIE or self.config.button) and self.config.func ~= 'set_button_pip') or self.config.insta_func) then G.FUNCS[self.config.func](self) end

[flat siren]

should this be uncommon

[sonic cedar]

so a value isnt being set right

[scarlet imp]

It seems good where it's at. It's like a Cloud 9 but for scoring and Cloud 9 is busted

[flat siren]

Good to know

I am new to Balatro, so I am not sure what exactly works reasonably

[scarlet imp]

I wouldn't worry too much about the balancing of your cards rarity wise until you've played a decent amount with them. Jokers need their run to shine yknow

Unless its Obelisk, that thing is terrible

[hidden sable]

everyone knows you must beat balatro 17 times before you make a mod

[flat siren]

real

[thorn furnace]

this would mean it can't find the function you're talking about

[sonic cedar]

is it because it's in my main file and not my overrides

[thorn furnace]

I don't think it would matter in that sense
Make sure the file is loaded and that everything is spelled correctly i guess

[sonic cedar]

make sure the... the main file is loaded?

[thorn furnace]

we're both tired here

[scarlet imp]

lmao

[sonic cedar]

wont put spelling past me though lmfao

ok so here it is in the main file (1) and the uses in the overrides file (2, 3)

[thorn furnace]

G.FUNCS.hpfx_Transform

[sonic cedar]

it looks like i spelled them right which means ONE of them is missing some k-that

it's missing that

[hidden sable]

how would i go about making a ui box (or realistically any element that i can make red and slightly transparent) slowly scale over the screen starting at the top

[sonic cedar]

you know, reboot chaining is actually way less painful when you have more than 4 gb of ram

[chrome widget]

You also don't need to send the context variable, and card is a misnomer. The first and afaik only supported parameter sent is the node that calls it (usually just called e in vanilla code)

[thorn furnace]

I think at some point I'm going to get rate limited on the APIs in my other mod

from chain rebooting

[sonic cedar]

ok but
jokers use this regularly
with the context param

am i gonna have to have a separate one for the button

[hidden sable]

or is there a way to do this with shaders

i'm too stupid for shaders tho so i might have to start stealing things

[chrome widget]

Contexts are not valid in functions like this. They run every frame independent of card calculations

[sonic cedar]

version without context param it is

[chrome widget]

Also in general if the parameter is grayed out and you're not using it, you can just get rid of it

[sonic cedar]

yeah i know
they irk me so i tend to kill them

👍

there are three versions of this now

[chrome widget]

Transbutt is mine thanks

[sonic cedar]

mine first i tagged it

[chrome widget]

And what code is it pointing to?

[sonic cedar]

thats RIGHT i can LOOK

wait i sent this already

[sonic cedar]

^

[chrome widget]

Means the function you attached to the button isn't in the G.FUNCS table

[sonic cedar]

can i just add G.FUNCS to this

[chrome widget]

It wasn't when you send these screenshots so yeah

[sonic cedar]

heck yeah

[sonic cedar]

[carmine burrow]

that doesn't seem very powerful

[flat siren]

it aint

[carmine burrow]

if you have enough 9s to get this above half joker levels, you have enough 9s to play a hand with any base mult

[sonic cedar]

the uncommon badge:

[carmine burrow]

+12 off the bat is too free for a common joker though

it's in a bit of an uncomfortable spot w/r/t rarity

[flat siren]

fine by me

[wet chasm]

+2 instead of +3 would be around uncommon

[flat siren]

i was thinking similar. every 9 is picked because cats have 9 lives

+2 could be picked because car is 2

[wet chasm]

car is 2?

[flat siren]

apparently

[sonic cedar]

not anymore

[flat siren]

car was two

[lament agate]

how do you make a joker that appears in a shop automatically buys itself

is it possible

[carmine burrow]

i mean erosion is +4 per, the deckfixing requirement is way less demanding (hang any cards rather than specifically strengthing 8s / using death to convert into 9s), and it's really bad

well, it's really situational

[sonic cedar]

nxkoo what are you plotting already 🥀

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

shh

[lament agate]

how to

[chrome widget]

Is the button field on your node correctly referring to this function?

[daring fern]

You could perhaps always check if the card appears in G.shop_jokers.cards then call the buy function?

[lament agate]

whats the function for buying

[sonic cedar]

i think so????

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.buy_from_shop?

[chrome widget]

No

[lament agate]

thank you so much

[chrome widget]

Remove G.FUNCS from this. It needs the function key to check the G.FUNCS table

[sonic cedar]

i cant stop losing

this time for sure

[lament agate]

oh huh

so just

buyfromshop?

[chrome widget]

The function itself is declared as G.FUNCS.hpfx_Transbutt(). Then you refer to the function by its key, 'hpfx_Transbutt'

[hidden sable]

is there a way to have a function be ran when a joker appears anywhere in the game, like when it's spawned in basically

[sonic cedar]

giggling my ass off at this function name am i 4

[scarlet imp]

three hours later

[lament agate]

oh youre talking to toml

my bad

[chrome widget]

What the UI code is doing is taking that string and attempting to do this:
G.FUNCS[key]

So in your specific example it was trying to do G.FUNCS['G.FUNCS.hpfx_Transbutt']

[sonic cedar]

oh well no wonder lmao

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sonic cedar]

AND YET

[chrome widget]

Show me what you changed

[scarlet imp]

Guess I'll have to catch up on the saga in the morning lol

[sonic cedar]

no more gfuncs *in the strings

[chrome widget]

And show me the function it's trying to call?

[hidden sable]

[sonic cedar]

almost sent a ss of it oops

function G.FUNCS.hpfx_Transbutt(card)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "immediate",
        delay = 0,
        func = function ()
            if card.config.center.blueprint_compat and card.config.center.key ~= 'j_hpfx_ijiraq' then
                local key = card.config.center.key
                table.insert(G.GAME.raqeffects, key or G.GAME.current_round.fodder_card.jkey)
            end
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            card:flip()
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["j_hpfx_ijiraq"])
            play_sound("card1")
            card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = "after",
    delay = 0.15,
    func = function()
        card:flip()
        return true
    end,
    }))
    return true
end

[chrome widget]

That is not the correct function??

[sonic cedar]

what do you MEAN 😭

[hidden sable]

i'm sending the after you just because of this

[chrome widget]

Didn't you have a function that sets the state of the button based on trying to call this function???

That's the one you're supposed to call

[sonic cedar]

scared tf out of me i thought it was over over

[merry frost]

An idea

[lament agate]

can i do the same in booster pack?

[flat siren]

trying +2

[daring fern]

Yes, but it would be G.FUNCS.use_card instead.

[sonic cedar]

ok so before i do some switches
am i missing any functions

[chrome widget]

Okay okay okay hold on let me reset for a monute

[lament agate]

how do you check if a player is inside of the booster pack?

[daring fern]

G.booster_pack and not G.booster_pack.REMOVED and SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER?

[urban wasp]

any way to get this to show up correctly without the player going into the blind?

[lament agate]

thanks

[daring fern]

Yes.

[chrome widget]

Your button needs two things basically:

• a function to set the state of the button based on whether or not you can press it currently (I assume this is hpfx_can_transform)
• a function to actually be called on press (I assume this is hpfx_Transbutt)

[urban wasp]

okay... how?

[daring fern]

Have you tried looking at The Clock?

[urban wasp]

oh yeah that probably would help

[chrome widget]

In most examples I've seen, the state function is usually on a higher level node than the button function. I don't know if that's absolutely necessary or not

[sonic cedar]

moving it rn

[chrome widget]

Do me a favor and also not collapse the code for the functions

Since I can't see what might be breaking

[hidden sable]

why does he sound so menacing...? 😭

[sonic cedar]

also yes both are correct assumptions
ref_table stuff in can_transform
function is Transbutt

[sonic cedar]

i wanted it to fit mb

(why didnt i just send three images? )

moved the state thing up alr so dw about that part

[chrome widget]

Oh well you're calling hpfx_can_transform as if it's a function on the card object?

[small tartan]

Any clues why this doesnt erase Kings? Ace is 14

[chrome widget]

Or is that a different function named the same thing?

[sonic cedar]

i have no functions named the same just so i dont confuse anything lmfao

[small tartan]

I actually have duplicates for the same reasons

[chrome widget]

What is this function then?

[sonic cedar]

me being a dumbass winter
is that what you wanted to hear
im a FOOL

[chrome widget]

This is being called as if it's a function declared like this:
Card:hpfx_can_transform(param1, param2)

I assumed it was just like checking if the card is valid to transform currently but if you never declared that function then yeah that's nil

[sonic cedar]

do i declare it in the joker

[chrome widget]

Idk depends on what you need it for

[sonic cedar]

do i even need 2 params actually

[chrome widget]

In what situations is a card that can transform (I.E. it has a button to do so) not valid to transform (meaning the button should be greyed out)?

[sonic cedar]

oh well when you put it like that
i dont need the if statement at all huh

ahhhh

[chrome widget]

If you don't need to check that, then you don't need that function at all

[sonic cedar]

i guess really just between transitions (like when youre getting paid out after a blind)

but the game already handles that doesnt it

[chrome widget]

I think the game automatically grays out buttons during certain things? Like how you can't press use on Planets until after end of round results finish?

So probably

Yeah

[sonic cedar]

ok so then yeah i didnt need this at

all actually

[chrome widget]

Nope. Get rid of it and only use the button property

[sonic cedar]

holding my "this time for sure" down in case im missing something else

[chrome widget]

To give an example, the Use button on consumables runs a function like the one you just got rid of every frame to determine if the button should be grayed out or not. So internally it calls the card's Card:can_use_consumable() function to selectively determine whether you can press the button, such as how consumables that require you to highlight something can't be used until you have a playing card highlighted

And then it sets the color of the button and the on press function accordingly

[sonic cedar]

ok yeah then i literally dont need it

[chrome widget]

Ye

[sonic cedar]

THIS TIME FOR SURE

WAIT I KNOW THIS ONE

IT'S STILL CALLING THE CAN TRANSFORM FUNC WHICH DOESNT EXIST

[chrome widget]

Did you not remove the func = "hpfx_can_transform" from the UI node?

[sonic cedar]

THIS time for sure (no i did not but I CAUGHT IT)

(despite you telling me exactly that)

[bitter portal]

what does... rule 3 of modding rules even mean

[chrome widget]

It basically means don't @ localthunk telling them how to fix the vanilla code

[sonic cedar]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[chrome widget]

You'll want to change the color of the button in the node

[sonic cedar]

that i know how to do

im scared to click it

[chrome widget]

I assume it didn't work?

[sonic cedar]

i dont think they like center

[chrome widget]

And what is card in this instance? Show me more of the function

[sonic cedar]

here's the whole event

[chrome widget]

You're passing in the wrong thing for this function

[sonic cedar]

oh god

[chrome widget]

Like I mentioned before, the only valid parameter for functions used as button callbacks is the node for the button itself

[sonic cedar]

oh g-oh thats not bad actually

[chrome widget]

IMO change the parameter in this function to e and before this event do
local card = e.config.ref_table

[sonic cedar]

ok ok got it

[chrome widget]

It doesn't automatically pass in the card object itself, so you have to grab it from where you stored it in the node

[sonic cedar]

yeah in the-

wasnt the e the state function

[chrome widget]

It's needed for both

[sonic cedar]

but not the uidef

[chrome widget]

No, because when that's being called, you're passing in the actual card object

[sonic cedar]

ye

THIS TIME. FOR SURE

[flat siren]

thoughts?

[chrome widget]

Highly underpowered

[sonic cedar]

actually let me adjust the button's looks first

[chrome widget]

Also I'd recommend changing the text for the Xmult to white for vanilla consistency

[flat siren]

it was 0.25 initially but someone said it was too much

[chrome widget]

0.25 is too much, sure, but try 0.15 or 0.2

Or even 0.10, but that puts it closer in the realm of being a common

[tawdry oriole]

maybe keep 0.25 but make it start at 0? so with a vanilla deck it'd be at 1x and scale it up from there

[flat siren]

that was how it was originally

under 4 9s you'd get 1x, 5 9s was 1.25x

[chrome widget]

Honestly that doesn't sound too powerful at all tbh

[tawdry oriole]

yeah no it sounds right

[chrome widget]

That's like fine??

Maybe cut it down to 0.2 if you absolutely need to but 0.25 seems good

[flat siren]

0.2 to keep it uncommon perhaps

although. thats a funny tag when im using the two sprite card thing. it looks menacing and intense

[chrome widget]

Even 0.25 isn't enough to get into rare territory, given that Lucky Cat is an uncommon

And that scales tremendously

[sonic cedar]

you would need to use main_end in loc_vars and add a grey Row/Column node + the text underneath

i would recommend just using multibox description instead lol

[hidden notch]

Ah .. I see
Well, then: Do you have an Example for the Multibox-Description?

[red flower]

there's one in the localization docs

or check my hit mod JoyousSpring, all jokers have it :3

[hidden notch]

Nice Plug, I'll check that too then

[small tartan]

How to take ownership?

Oops Sorry didnt meant to notify ping

[maiden phoenix]

I think it's explained in the docs question mark?

[small tartan]

I'm gonna check, thanks :)

Found it

[paper zealot]

pls request that submitters also submit corresponding documentation for new features 🙏

[wintry solar]

I can do that but there is no way that I am prepared to spend time reviewing wiki PRs

[bitter portal]

double bump x4

[hidden notch]

Looks really good actually, I might go ahead and add it to my other Jokers later too x3
Thank you

[bitter portal]

What is context.other_card?

[maiden phoenix]

The concerned card by context like individual

[bitter portal]

when would it not equal card inside of calculate?

[maiden phoenix]

Say you have Hack, card is the joker, context.other_card is a played card

[bitter portal]

Ooh, that makes sesne.

Okay, thank you!

Im just looking for ways to fix my issue with my brown seal here, and figured I should probably get a better understanding of this cobbled together code

What are all the triggers for an Event?

[crisp coral]

before, after, immediately, ease, [no trigger]

[bitter portal]

What... do they do exactly?

[red flower]

check the event manager docs

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[bitter portal]

Oh! I was looking for that on the docs

Thank you!

there has been a mistake

its making an awful noise too

ughhhh i cant figure out why its drawing cards before the cards finish discarding

seriously... i cant figure this out

im gonna flip

[long sun]

hi! some of my consumables that i'm placing in the shop are showing as undiscovered

as in, they use the undiscovered sprite and undiscovered text, even though they're in the shop and i should be able to see their sprite and text

i know i've forgotten to do something here, but what?

[bitter portal]

how do i fix this???? 😭

[long sun]

it's because you're running this all in an event iirc

try adding a function to your return

wait no you don't need to do any of that, you can just remove the event around it

it'll work without the event

so try

SMODS.Seal {
    key = 'Brown',
    atlas = 'cfawm_enhancers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    badge_colour = HEX('a0522d'),
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard and context.other_card == card then
                    local any_selected = nil
                    local this_index = nil
                    for i, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                        if playing_card == card then
                            this_index = i
                            break
                        end
                    end
                    if this_index and G.hand.cards[this_index + 1] then
                        G.hand:add_to_highlighted(G.hand.cards[this_index + 1], true)
                        play_sound('card1', 1)
                        any_selected = true
                    end
                    if any_selected then G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted(nil, true) end
            return { message = "Discarded!", colour = HEX('a0522d') }
        end
    end,
}```

[bitter portal]

er... that crashed my game 😭

[long sun]

log?

[bitter portal]

like

hard crash

[long sun]

like it went into an infinite loop?

[bitter portal]

it made a pretty awful noise too

It just... instantly closed after making a terrible noise when i discarded

[maiden phoenix]

I think something you should do is first highlight each concerned card and THEN you discard them

[long sun]

what's your seal's ability?

[bitter portal]

It's supposed to also discard the card to the right of it when IT is discarded

ideally allowing for chains

[long sun]

oh i see

[red flower]

what if you remove discard cards from highlight

[long sun]

you're discarding in the function, which triggers your seal again

infinitely

so you can remove the line that discards the cards, as that'll happen anyway

[bitter portal]

Well it shouldn't do it on the same card twice though?

[long sun]

okay but your seal discarding triggers the context.discard context

[red flower]

in that context the card is still highlighted so it will

[small tartan]

Do SMODS.rank { next = {} support multiple ranks?

[long sun]

i think the seal's cool btw! :D

[long sun]

seems to, it's a table so i'd assume it could have multiple values in it

[small tartan]

Then how would strenght work

[long sun]

bump btw ^u^ sorry

[bitter portal]

now it just highlights?

[long sun]

random selection between all next ranks

[small tartan]

Can i filter it via suits?

[native zinc]

whats Phanta.config

did you global right

[long sun]

ah, that's all of the config options you have enabled

i've assigned that elsewhere

[small tartan]

Like hearts do only 1st next, spades only 2nd next

[small tartan]

Oh right!!

[bitter portal]

SMODS.Seal {
    key = 'Brown',
    atlas = 'cfawm_enhancers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard and context.other_card == card then
            local any_selected = nil
            local this_index = nil
            for i, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if playing_card == card then
                    this_index = i
                    break
                end
            end
            if this_index and G.hand.cards[this_index + 1] then
                G.hand:add_to_highlighted(G.hand.cards[this_index + 1], true)

            return { message = "Discarded!", colour = HEX('a0522d') }
        end
    end,
}

[red flower]

yeah now you're just adding to highlighted without discarding that card

[bitter portal]

... im confused

[red flower]

i would probably look into how discard from highlighted works and do that for the card you want

[long sun]

i'm wrong ^u^ dw

[unborn bay]

that does not add it to the cards being discarded

you'll have to discard it manually

[bitter portal]

Hm okay... so now im back at square one... or i guess back at the hard crash.

[long sun]

i know how this works now — you do need to discard that card manually, but discarding the card you've already discarded will cause an infinite loop

i'd maybe add a bool that determines if it's already made the check

[red flower]

no, what I'm saying is that instead of using discard_from_highlighted you should do what that function does inside but just for your card

[bitter portal]

Right, it shouldnt discard itself though

[long sun]

ya

[unborn bay]

^

really all it does much is a call to draw_card from hand to G.discard

[red flower]

else you would probably have to figure out the event order and that sounds like a pain

[long sun]

(sorry, bump)

[bitter portal]

pain

well thats another idea for the scrap bin

[unborn bay]

its not that hard 😭

[small tartan]

So basically

I should take ownership of the 7
Then somehow filter the next rank with suits

[primal robin]

You probably interested in smth like bypass_discovery smth

[unborn bay]

^

[bitter portal]

counterpoint: im stupid

[long sun]

will look into it :D cheers!

[primal robin]

Vanila game have no check for shop booster pack area, only for jokers and vouchers

So in your case you need manually set one of there for yor card

card.bypass_discovery_center = true

[small tartan]

Would this work?

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    delay = 0.6,
    func = function()
        if G.GAME.starting_params.scopa_Deck then
            SMODS.Rank:take_ownership('7', {
                next = {'BBB_Knave'}
            }, true)
        else
            SMODS.Rank:take_ownership('7', {
                next = {'8'}
            }, true)
        end
        return true
    end
}))

[unborn bay]

NEVER call take_ownership anywhere during runtime

that includes events

[spark remnant]

I'm currently trying to make a joker count any cards after the base 5 as being scored, I have this which is mostly copied from splash, how do I make it only activate on cards after 5? I tried changing the i = 1 to i = 6 but it just makes the game crash.

        if context.before then
            for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
                  context.scoring_hand[i] = G.play.cards[i]
            end
            table.sort(context.scoring_hand, function(a, b)
                return a.T.x < b.T.x
            end)
            delay(0.2)
            for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
                --Highlight all the cards used in scoring and play a sound indicating highlight
                highlight_card(context.scoring_hand[i], (i - 0.999) / 5, "up")
            end
        end

[red flower]

use the context instead
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/975e35dce07617c7a9db01ce032152b07e4f0f2f/src/jokers.lua#L1362

unless you mean you want to expand play limit

[spark remnant]

I've alredy done that, I was just trying to make the card past that count, that does seem like a much better way

[small tartan]

It didnt work anyways

I throw in the towel

[echo aurora]

How do you add vfx?

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[lament agate]

you can only use DynaText in loc_vars?

[normal crest]

you can use it anywhere, it's an ui element

[lofty sand]

whats the shortcut to quick restart balatro? I remember it being holding R but that doesn't seem to work

[normal crest]

Hold M

[echo aurora]

alt+f5

[lofty sand]

cool, thanks

[lofty sand]

oh you're right it was M not R

it's R for restarting at a crash screen

is the correct context for rerolling the shop "context.shop_reroll"?

[echo aurora]

context.reroll_shop

[vast bough]

what are all the main valid contexts for checking blind requirements. i can see from mr. bones that end of round works but are there any others?

[pure salmon]

you can check and alter them whenever i think

i do at least, and it doesn’t cause problems

if you want to end the round early or something, never found a way to make that work seamlessly

[lofty sand]

yep, you right.

[pure salmon]

i usually alter the blind requirement in context.setting_blind if i can help it

[rare torrent]

how do i change the main menu card suit? doing this crashes the game [[patches]] [patches.pattern] target = "game.lua" pattern = "replace_card.states.visible = false" position = "before" payload = "replace_card:change_suit('Hearts')" match_indent = true overwrite = false

[bitter portal]

finally figured it out :D
(i ended up doing something completley different...)

i want to add a message for each brown seal but i dont know how to manually create those message things

[maiden phoenix]

Check card_eval_status_text

(except the first parameter is the discarded card I suppose)

[vast bough]

this is specifically for checking blind requirements rather than setting it. when i try to check it during individual trigger or wherever, i get an error

but my code for checking may be wrong

[bitter portal]

aaand this causes issues when i discard multiple brown seals at once next to each other....

sighhhhhh

it didnt actually seem to break anything but it paused for longer than i'd like to and made a bunch of noises for cards clearly off screen

i think some cards just got... discarded multiple times

[vast bough]

my code was checking for blind requirements OVER the blind rather than under

[bitter portal]

NEVERMIND IT DUPED MY CARDS 😭

[maiden phoenix]

show your new code?

I was trying to make it find chains of brown seal cards and like, discard them all in advance

but i forgot to account for discarding multiple cards at once 😭

and i kinda also dont know how to acount for that

[long sun]

hi again ^^

i have this line now:
local card = Card(area.T.x + area.T.w/2, area.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS.empty, _center, {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})

[bitter portal]

im trying to avoid reimplementing remove_from_highlighted because i dont understand it and i want cards to trigger their discard effects

[long sun]

this works mostly, but the "Not discovered" text isn't showing up

any ideas?

oh wait uhm

wrong line

wrong script, that's from the base game -u-

heeyah

local card = SMODS.create_card { key = key, area = G.shop_booster, bypass_discovery_center = true }

will try something in the meantime

mm, okay that didn't work either

(i tried bypass_discovery_ui)

[bitter portal]

okay well i decided to scrap the code i just sent... it feels like im never gonna get this working the way i want 😭

it's now back to how it was before

[maiden phoenix]

Mmmh I should try recreating it one day

why is this code always creating a seven of diamonds in the title screen? i want it to create an ace of hearts ```function Card:resize(mod, force_save)

remove_all(self.children)

self:set_sprites(self.config.center, self.base.id and self.config.card)

Okay uh, how do i patch functions?

is it just... a good ol' fasion monkeypatch?

[hallow forge]

It can be

[sonic cedar]

hey can i use self in my button ui function if i add it to the params, or does balatro's code not work that way?

(UIDEFbuttonfunction(card) -> UIDEFbuttonfunction(card, self))

also good morning pardon my manners

[placid star]

is hooking create_card_for_shop thr best way to test buying a joker?

[placid star]

well first u need to find out if patching or hooking is what you need, they can do the same thing but it's still good to know when to use which

[lament agate]

how do i hook into the shop

[lofty sand]

is there a context for cashing out/entering the shop?

[sonic cedar]

or rather
can someone tell me why this conditional isnt fulfilled as true?

[lament agate]

context.starting_shop

[sonic cedar]

literally starting_shop

[lofty sand]

o fr

bet

[chrome widget]

Lua doesn't work this way

[lament agate]

some contexts aren't that blund 😭

[sonic cedar]

truth nuke

[chrome widget]

If the parameter isn't being passed in by your code, you can't use it in the function

[sonic cedar]

yeahhhh i knowww
im just trying to make the button only apply to the fake cards plus the costume

[chrome widget]

It depends on what k is

[native zinc]

wel

well

[chrome widget]

k is nil when that block checks it because the code is after the for loop closes

Cards can't have nil keys, so if a card doesn't have the visiblyIjiraq flag, that code will never run

[sonic cedar]

well the visiblyijiraq thing gets applied in the joker's set_ability (pretend i checked for false in the override)

wrong image

[chrome widget]

Point being you're still perpetually comparing key == nil in that condition

[sonic cedar]

well actually no since the button should only appear when you have it so disregard that

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok

so just put it in the for loop?

[chrome widget]

If that's how your code works, sure

Do you understand the concept of scope in programming?

[sonic cedar]

to an extent? im not good at this ui thing

[primal robin]

[sonic cedar]

so it's probably stuff i already know but the ui stance is uhh

[chrome widget]

Scope is unrelated to ui. It's a fundamental programming concept

[sonic cedar]

no no i know i mean like my brain

[chrome widget]

k and v, due to the way loops work, are declared as local variables to the scope of this loop. The moment this loop closes and the code goes past it, both k and v become nil

So they only exist within that loop code

[sonic cedar]

so then break wont help here right right

[chrome widget]

What this loop is functionally doing is running through the exceptions, and if the key is in the exceptions list, breaking early and doing nothing else

The loop code currently accomplishes nothing

Given exceptions is a map (I think?), you can probably just change the key == k comparison in that bottom if statement to exceptions(key)

[sonic cedar]

so then id have to put the whole ui setup withIN the for loop for it to actually matter

[sonic cedar]

oh fr?

[chrome widget]

And remove the for loop entirely

[sonic cedar]

i should show you that table actually in case

(this continues)

basically part of an override setup for the disguise (instead of disguising as and mimicking 8 ball, it'll disguise as and mimic MY 8 ball)

[chrome widget]

Huh, weird. You're trying to explicitly type them

[sonic cedar]

it's not for every joker

[chrome widget]

Is this some code setup I'm not familiar with?

No I mean declaring they keys as string types, and the table as a global

[sonic cedar]

ohhh hold on ill show you

[chrome widget]

Both of those are implicit per how Lua works

[sonic cedar]

(this works btw there's no issue with it)

so, within the costume's set_ability function it has these lines:

[chrome widget]

No I'm glad I'm just confused why you're using it

Point being, exceptions is not an indexed list. It has string keys, so you can check if a key exists on the table as you do there and just do exceptions(key) unless you actually want to compare to the values in the table rather than the keys

[sonic cedar]

which has it both trigger a flag, and set its ability to the current round's card (which is decided randomly) OR the current round's card as an exception if possible

[sonic cedar]

well the values (strings) are the actual keys of the exceptions, and only get interpreted as the basegame keys when added to the ijiraq's effect table

[chrome widget]

Then yeah you do need the for loop

Here's what you should do:

[sonic cedar]

locked in go

-# (also rarity is card.config.center.rarity right)

[native zinc]

-# AHEADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[sonic cedar]

-# AHEADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[native zinc]

-# the loudest of all whispering

[sonic cedar]

-# it's a talent

[chrome widget]

if card.area and card.area == G.jokers and key ~= 'j_hpfx_ijiraq` then
    local excepted = nil
    for k, v in pairs(exceptions) do
        if key == v then
            excepted = true
            break
        end
    end
    
    if excepted or card.visiblyIjiraq the 
         -- run your code in here
    end
end```

[stark viper]

@shell timber here's what I've got.

[shell timber]

okay so it looks like you have mismatched brackets in your lua file

can you send the contents of that?

[stark viper]

this is what my code looks like.

[chrome widget]

Missing a comma after the key

[shell timber]

okay so for your SMODS.Thing calls you want curly brackets instead of regular ones

that as well

[stark viper]

facepalming at myself

[chrome widget]

Also yes, you use curly brackets for table declarations (which is what this is doing)

[sonic cedar]

and the return still stays outside right

[chrome widget]

Idk, you didn't show the return

[chrome widget]

When is this declared?

And what assigns to it when the checks pass?

[sonic cedar]

better ss

[stark viper]

bless yall, thanks a bunch

[shell timber]

no problem

[sonic cedar]

can you reword a teeny bit

i probably get what you mean but ive been wrong before

[chrome widget]

this answers that question

[sonic cedar]

oh ok phew

i did get it

[chrome widget]

so technically you can just return transform from within that inner block, because otherwise the function returns nil anyway

[sonic cedar]

that's what i was considering

but SHOULD i

[chrome widget]

Or you could explicitly declare local transform = nil before it goes into this code` and then return it after it leaves these blocks

Both are functionally identical, though the latter option is kinda more readable

[sonic cedar]

did that 👍

[sonic cedar]

so ill just leave it as is then

ok one last check to make sure

[chrome widget]

Yeah that works. I'd indent that inner block more though

It's a little hard to read

[sonic cedar]

should be good
only thing would have to be if for some reason card.visiblyIjiraq returns false

[sonic cedar]

yeah i zoomed out and shook my head

[chrome widget]

this one

[sonic cedar]

yep

[chrome widget]

Looks good

[sonic cedar]

god i love having ram ive had balatro open this entire time and my framerate is still smooth as hell

[chrome widget]

I'm naked and full of mucus on the floor of my bathroom after trying to shower to clear my sinuses b/c im sick and dying

So I'm just helping you on my phone lol

[sonic cedar]

oh you poor soul

well good news

phase 1 pass

dont panic im just stupid and forgot to change this back to card

[sonic cedar]

getting sick in this heat is like a death sentence though i hope youre okay /srs

hell yeah

[chrome widget]

I'm gonna go visit a partner in like a week but I feel like DEATH

Hey, i'm trying to make my joker rank up the first 3 cards of a played hand but right now it only rank up seemingly all the cards played, and does flip them, rank up, flip them and rank up again, how could i fix that ?

    
    if  context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                return true
            end
        }))

        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            local percent = 1.15 - (i - 0.999) / (#context.scoring_hand - 0.998) * 0.3
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    context.scoring_hand[i]:flip()
                    play_sound('card1', percent)
                    context.scoring_hand[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end

        delay(0.2)

        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.1,
                func = function()
                    assert(SMODS.modify_rank(context.scoring_hand[i], 1))
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end

    
    for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
        local percent = 0.85 + (i - 0.999) / (#context.scoring_hand - 0.998) * 0.3
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.15,
            func = function()
                context.scoring_hand[i]:flip()
                play_sound('tarot2', percent, 0.6)
                context.scoring_hand[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
    end
end,

[chrome widget]

WEHHHHH

[sonic cedar]

can you force a deselection? (the button stays on ijiraq if you dont deselect it)

[sonic cedar]

also PAIN

[pale holly]

I should say it's basically the code took from Vanilla remade's strengh tarot card but edited

[chrome widget]

Wdym?

[sonic cedar]

what in the world does "third first" mean

[pale holly]

i wanted to say the first three cards, my english a bit broken rn
