[hollow horizon]

Seal code if that helps anyhow

[slim ferry]

the label should go under the same key but in misc.labels (see example image), the way you did it is the way for loc_txt and not a localization file

[hollow horizon]

oh yeah I did it already for other seal, doesn't work either

[slim ferry]

oh no i see

theres supposed to be an extra _seal at the end

which you probably missed since you also have that in the key

[thorn basin]

uh...
is it possible to apply another sprite on an enhancement?
like the soul spectral does but with an enhancement?

[red flower]

you can use draw or drawsteps

[hollow horizon]

ooooh so the key is paput_seal but I have to write paput_seal_seal in my loc file?

[slim ferry]

yea

[hollow horizon]

ooooooooooh

[thorn basin]

draw or drawsteps?
where I can find info about those?

[red flower]

draw: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Enhancement#api-methods
drawstep: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DrawStep

check The Soul in vanillaremade for an example of a soul sprite with drawstep

[thorn basin]

thanks!

[hollow horizon]

that changes SOOO much thank you

any special suffixes I need to know for poker hands maybe? because they don't work as well

[red flower]

no

did you move misc out of descriptions

[cursive gazelle]

@dreamy thunder

[hollow horizon]

yes

I did

[red flower]

then it looks fine

[hollow horizon]

then I have no idea why it shows up as ERROR in run_info

[slim ferry]

oh i see the issue i think

the description has another table inside it with the text inside there

[hollow horizon]

ok I see

yeah

that's the problem

works now

ok last question, promise... for suits is it just prefix_key or something like prefix_key_suit?

[red flower]

former

[loud summit]

how do you make an effect not trigger when running as a blueprint

[red flower]

if not context.blueprint

[robust marsh]

guh

[loud summit]

thx

[robust marsh]

tried, didn't really work

mmm

[red flower]

the way i do appearing in shop is with tags

i used to not do it with tags but it was basically the same code

[robust marsh]

not sure if it's possible to straight up just emplace the card when you enter the shop

[robust marsh]

how do you do this usually? Right now i'm just trying to make a specific joker appear once in an ante 8 shop and never again within the same run

[slim ferry]

you could probably use global mod calculate

check if youre in ante 8 and the small blind is upcoming in context.starting_shop and then add a card to the shop in the same way as tags

[red flower]

this is how i used to do it without tags https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/41eb6fbe66ea7a96472b18d95bad4ac2926fc934/lovely/effects.toml#L38

i had a G.GAME.joy_create_card table

[robust marsh]

i tried doing it how tags do it, i fucked up because it spawns as a card that can move around freely

[red flower]

tags do it in a specific function

[robust marsh]

ah

[chrome token]

i'm kinda baffled. is there any reason why this shouldn't work and instead gives a joker of ANY rarity??

[slim ferry]

KENDRICK??

[robust marsh]

mustard

[slim ferry]

also oldprob spotted

also idk that should work

[chrome token]

old prob??

what huh

[dreamy thunder]

Yo thas fire

[chrome token]

😭

[slim ferry]

old probability system

[frosty rampart]

check the release notes for smods 0711a

[slim ferry]

since youre using G.GAME.probabilities.normal i assume you do want it to be modified

[frosty rampart]

new probability API https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a

[chrome token]

ah

[chrome token]

yes 😭

i want it to spawn either a common or rare joker

but it's literally not doing that at all 🥲

[slim ferry]

does it work if you change the set to just Joker? the custom objecttype might just be messing with it

[chrome token]

man if it is i'm gonna be real mad 🥀

it works

ffs

[thorn basin]

how can make an enhancement retrigger the adjacent cards?
I've already tried to get the position of the adjacent scoring cards but I'm not sure what to do with the retrigger part

[chrome token]

so if i have to guess

i need to make separate pools for the common and rare mod jokers

[red flower]

i think you need to specify rarities in the objcettype

but maybe it's easier to make 2 different ones object types a re weird

[chrome token]

i don't see an option to set the rarity on an objecttype though?

unless the smods wiki is very outdated...

[red flower]

?

[chrome token]

...disregard

i am blind

[modern kindle]

haha i get it

blind

get it guys

[red flower]

yes

[robust marsh]

haha, small blind 😂

I get it

violet vessel 😂

[chrome token]

how about you GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🗣️ 🔥 🤯

jk

[modern kindle]

D:

crying in the club rn

[red flower]

club??

like

the suit

[modern kindle]

u get me

[robust marsh]

how the hell do tags emplace cards into G.shop_jokers

[red flower]

they return the created card in create_card_for_shop

[robust marsh]

OH

i see it now

[wide chasm]

im tryna take some of the ancient joker code from vanillaremade so i can modify it and make a new joker, but like anything i do to the code breaks it

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "galaxy",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    atlas = 'nebula_atlas',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = {xmult = 1.5} },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local suit = (G.GAME.current_round.nebula_galaxy_card or {}).suit or 'Spades'
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, localize(suit, 'suits_singular'), colours = { G.C.SUITS[suit] } } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit(G.GAME.current_round.nebula_galaxy_card.suit) then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end
}

--- This changes vremade_ancient_card every round so every instance of Ancient Joker shares the same card.
--- You could replace this with a context.end_of_round reset instead if you want the variables to be local.
--- See SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals at the bottom of this file for when this function is called.
local function reset_nebula_galaxy_card()
    G.GAME.current_round.nebula_galaxy_card = G.GAME.current_round.nebula_galaxy_card or { suit = 'Spades' }
    local galaxy_suits = {}
    for k, v in ipairs({ 'Spades', 'Hearts', 'Clubs', 'Diamonds' }) do
        if v ~= G.GAME.current_round.nebula_galaxy_card.suit then galaxy_suits[#galaxy_suits + 1] = v end
    end
    local galaxy_card = pseudorandom_element(galaxy_suits, 'nebula_galaxy' .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante)
    G.GAME.current_round.nebula_galaxy_card.suit = galaxy_card
end
function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
    reset_nebula_galaxy_card()
end

im literally just changing the name and it stopped working

replaced all the vremade_ancient with nebula_galaxy and it broke everything for some reason

[gilded goblet]

are you still trying to figure this out

[hollow horizon]

hand_chips works as intended - rounds up chips scored by current hand...
but mult is added instead of just being set

Anyone knows what could be the issue?

[red flower]

dont return them

i dont know why hand chips is working like that either

[gilded goblet]

im doing something silly for my "marked" sticker (1 in 15 chance for joker to be destroyed at the end of round)

apply = function(self, card, val)
  card.ability[self.key] = val
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
      if card.ability.eternal then
        card.ability.eternal = nil -- removes eternal from card
      end
      return true
    end
  }))
end

the important part is in the event after card.ability[self.key] = val

[viral ember]

[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "replace_card.states.visible = false"
position = "before"
payload = '''
SMODS.change_base(replace_card, 'Hearts')
replace_card:set_seal('balalalatro_sans', true, true)
replace_card:set_ability('m_gold', true)
'''
match_indent = true
overwrite = false```
is there a way to have the patch happen after my seal is registered?

or is it just not allowed to use custom stuff

[red flower]

the seal should be registered before that patch

[viral ember]

I get that but how lol

[red flower]

no i mean your patch should work

[red flower]

check the key is correct

[gilded goblet]

if should_apply had a 1 to 2 frame leniency we could have had:

should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
  if card.ability.eternal then return false
  else
    -- do something to return true
  end
end

from my understanding

[viral ember]

yep

[old void]

thanks the sound effect is engraved into our brain

[red flower]

please always post the full log and not screenshots

[viral ember]

I forgot the key lol

[old void]

🗣️

[gilded goblet]

unless im thinking about this in a silly way

[viral ember]

sorry bout that lol

thanks a lot man!

(New)

I should add wiht knuckles

[slim ferry]

what the FUCK am i looking at 😭

[viral ember]

it got worse

[modern kindle]

hey i have that

[viral ember]

That's a new one

saw the blue in my taskbar and thought my pc bluescreened lol

[frail parcel]

So I split my mod into multiple files using assert(SMODS.load_file())()
Is it possible to have all the atlases in 1 file or do I have to put them in a file-by-file basis

[red flower]

you can put them in 1 file

[modern kindle]

dear god why that shit so BLUE

[red flower]

but make sure it loads before the other files that use them

[stiff locust]

this happens because the game crashes before lovely/smods can stylise the crash screen

it's not necessarily a worse crash

[viral ember]

I know

I just found it funny

[stiff locust]

it is funny

[viral ember]

I hate working with shaders but this looks funny

[stiff locust]

shaders look cool but

how the fuck do you do that

how do you make one

[modern kindle]

shaders are awesome until i discovered i cant just type 'make me shader please' and it creates a cool shader thats exactly how i want in my mind because they fuckin baffle me

[slim ferry]

i need me a shader individual
and an art individual my joker art is like eh at best

[red flower]

@ grok make me a shader

[vast bridge]

ShaderForge would go crazy🔥

[slim ferry]

TRUE ACTUALLY

[modern kindle]

finally, a sequel to jokerforge

my goat

[viral ember]

If someone made that I would be adding way more editions

[stiff locust]

i want a shader that is the aurora borealis

i think that would look sick as hell

[red flower]

jokerforge is going to include shaders soon iirc but i dont think its going to be a full editor

[modern kindle]

programming should be as simple as 'make cool' and there you go

[wide chasm]

bump

[red flower]

i think it would be easier if we could go into someones mind

"check out this new mod i thought about"

[modern kindle]

youre already in my mind all the time

[stiff locust]

same

[robust marsh]

    calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.ante_change then 
            ease_ante(-2)
    end
end

I'm trying out the new ante contexts to make it so while the joker is held you go back down an ante instead of going up. This is my first time trying the next contexts so i'm probably doing it wrong since this doesn't work

[stiff locust]

why not just use context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.beat_boss

the ante will always go up when you beat a boss

[modern kindle]

whats the diff in end of round and beat boss, is it just timing

[stiff locust]

beat_boss is during end_of_round

beat_boss only triggers if you beat a boss

[robust marsh]

because it doesn't work

[red flower]

try

if context.modify_ante then
  return { modify = -1 }
end

[stiff locust]

what do you mean it doesn't work

[robust marsh]

alright

[robust marsh]

the ante just goes up by 1 regardless

[red flower]

i never used it but thats what the docs say

i think context.ante_end doesnt work properly in the release

[robust marsh]

ah

huh

weird, it still just goes up

[red flower]

weird it looks like it should work

im not at home to test it sadly

[sturdy compass]

Does the base ease_ante function have a nil or 0 check?

[red flower]

it doesnt seem like it

it's always called with 1

[sturdy compass]

Just cuz it’s called with 1 all the time doesn’t mean thunk didn’t add a check

He’s done weirder things 💀

[red flower]

those were two separate statements sorry

[sturdy compass]

Ah

[red flower]

i did check first

oh wait there's one but just for nil

[sturdy compass]

Huh

[red flower]

+0 ante

[royal badger]

So I finally got the video playing ( single frames put into a video) in game after the joker gets activated but it never stops playing then, can someone maybe help with that?

[slim ferry]

why does this not work? its supposed to multiply the return values of jokers, but for some reason it only does the message. i know vanilla jokers have wierd hardcoded messages but the mult counter is also no different

are vanilla joker returns just hardcoded in general or smth actually

[wintry solar]

It does if you don’t run any mods that hook the function

[shell timber]

passing balatro in 5 minutes

[robust marsh]

weird...

[wintry solar]

It’s just because it was done with an extra arg that hooks haven’t updated too, but the dev build has a fix anyway

[red flower]

wheres the pizza

[shell timber]

nxkoo took it

wait i sent it in modding dev Ooops

[faint yacht]

...how do I "reopen" a mod config menu tab?

[robust marsh]

I believe I got this to work

!

[royal badger]

bump

[wide chasm]

yo how do i make a joker change its scoring suit after each round

[ocean sinew]

how do I get the path to the game?

[robust marsh]

i have no clue how obscure this is, is it possible to make it so you fight blinds in the order of boss blind -> big blind -> small blind? I imagine that would break things but it's worth asking.

[slim ferry]

bump

[wintry solar]

Not officially through smods yet, but it is possible yes

[slim ferry]

you can set the blind choices manually at the start of each ante

it should work just fine

G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Small = get_new_boss
G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss = "bl_small"

will break when boss is rerolled though

since itll call get_new_boss for the boss blind again

[ocean sinew]

I figured it out If anyone ever needs It's love.filesystem.getWorkingDirectory()

[robust marsh]

gotcha

[charred widget]

Hello again friends! If I wanted to make a joker passively debuff an entire suit of cards, how would I do that?

[robust marsh]

Probably look at how the boss blinds do it

[slim ferry]

if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card:is_suit(<suit>) then return { debuff = true } end

[slim ferry]

boss blinds have it automated

so they dont use a calculate for it

[robust marsh]

ah

[charred widget]

interesting, i'll try that out

[cyan lagoon]

heya, so i got this thing to change the enhancement values, but it doesn't revert them if you reload. how can i fix that?

[red flower]

whats enhance change

[cyan lagoon]

my function for it

[red flower]

yes i know

show the code

[slim ferry]

if you change the values in G.P_CENTERS then you gotta reset it every run yourself

[red flower]

remove from deck might not get called during the run ending

im not sure

[slim ferry]

ohh its a joker

yeah remove from deck doesnt get called on run exit

since it doesnt need to do that normally

[cyan lagoon]

yeah, that's the thing

[primal robin]

this values doesn't save between reloads right

[slim ferry]

they do

[red flower]

also

[slim ferry]

just a bit too much

[royal badger]

bump2

[slim ferry]

also thats like a bad way of implementing such a function tbh, changing P_CENTERS is a very bad idea

[cyan lagoon]

i know

[slim ferry]

you should probably hook Card:set_ability and create_card instead

to change the enhancement values every time when it is applied/created rather than changing the default config

[willow scroll]

if i were to extend SMODS.GameObject, how would i implement calculate stuff for it? trying to turn my backstickers into something not jank

[strong terrace]

is there a way to make a joker gain mult every time you encounter it in a new run?

[red flower]

you would probably need to save the mult to the profile

[robust marsh]

i'm trying this out, not sure if i'm even slotting it in properly

[slim ferry]

as long as you just call it at the start of every ante it should work i think? idk when the next blinds are generated tho

[robust marsh]

tried

probably doing it too late

[willow scroll]

i have the custom object properly set up i believe, how would i connect Card:calculate_backsticker() to other stuff so that it actually gets called when needed?

[slim ferry]

maybe context.starting_shop and G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Small == "Select"
for the first ante you could just use SMODS.current_mod.round_resets to add an event for it at run start i imagine

[robust marsh]

i only need it to start doing its thing after the final boss blind has been beaten since you can't acquire this joker anywhere other than ante 8's very first shop

[charred widget]

Alright, I have a little tweak I'd like to make to a pair of my jokers

[slim ferry]

okay yeah then just put the first check i said in the first line in the joker's calculate instead and just dont do the round_resets thibng

[robust marsh]

alright

[charred widget]

I'll just start with Koraidon. He applies red seals to played wild cards, but if you play the same wild cards that already have seals, it just applies the red seal again, which just wastes time. is there a way to detect if a card already has a red seal, and then skip the seal-applying function?

[slim ferry]

add and context.other_card.seal ~= "Red" to one of the checks

wait

no

there

[cursive gazelle]

Eris

[slim ferry]

i forgot the wierd not interaction

lmao

[slim ferry]

hi

s

[charred widget]

should i put it after "local temp_card = context.other_card"?

[robust marsh]

holy depression

[slim ferry]

it can go anywhere here

so wherever you like to have the check idk

[charred widget]

alright i'll check if it works

welp

it crashed

as soon as it started scoring

must've put it in the wrong place

[charred widget]

idk where the check is though

[slim ferry]

`can i see the code

[charred widget]

bump

[slim ferry]

the check that i gave you

[slim ferry]

this one

[charred widget]

oh i thought you meant the check was in the code

well i put it after local temp_card = context.other_card because i thought that might work but it didn't

[slim ferry]

it should go into an existing if statement if youre just raw copy pasting it

because thats what and is for

[charred widget]

ok

[slim ferry]

well you can like use it for other shit ig because lua but yeah

[charred widget]

so i just put it in the same line as local temp_card = context.other_card

[slim ferry]

the line before

[charred widget]

ok

[slim ferry]

before the then of the if statement ofc

[charred widget]

ok

i'll try it out then

ok it works!!! ty

i'll do the same for miraidon

[slim ferry]

hell yeah

[strong terrace]

the fuck did i do?

[slim ferry]

you did everything outside of the calculate

[strong terrace]

so what do i need to do?

[slim ferry]

put the end at the actual end of the calculate function

[strong terrace]

sorry i'm fucking dumb where is the actual point i have to put the end?

[slim ferry]

after the code of the function

[strong terrace]

isn't it at end of all the code written in the image?

[slim ferry]

no?

its literally right after the start of the function

[short girder]

you can't end the function immediately after you started it

that just does nothing

[strong terrace]

so i have to remove that

[slim ferry]

you have to move the end

to after ALL of the calculate code

[willow scroll]

bump

trying to find how the return table is used eventually

[clear ocean]

no but i feel guilty that i should or something

[ebon hawk]

Does anyone have a sample Joker code that adds a card to the deck?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua have a peek at vanillaremade...

[clear ocean]

i keep geting this feeling to mod balatro idk

[gilded goblet]

nah

this shit is the devil

[clear ocean]

man this computer programming a bitch 😂

like i get motivated, work on it, get demotivated, delete my work, and just play vanilla+ balatro

i should probably stop doing that

[ebon hawk]

thanks

[gilded goblet]

why delete ur work twin... just push it to github when u feel like ur done so whenever ur in a better headspace you can see where you stopped at

[clear ocean]

i don't know! its like second nature to me to just delete my work...

[robust marsh]

i finally got this to run, although the boss blind doesnt really turn into the small blind

it stays the same

[gilded goblet]

one advice i can give you is don't

[robust marsh]

the small blind however does turn into a boss blind

[clear ocean]

i'll try you know let's try again and not do this 🙏

[slim ferry]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[clear ocean]

might not do much since i have my music lessons tonight

is there any way to prevent myself from doing that

[gilded goblet]

its all good focus on that 💯

[clear ocean]

💯

it gets off the chainwax

[gilded goblet]

just ctrl+s, close everything related to coding and go do something else

[clear ocean]

got this on repeat

[clear ocean]

ill try

[willow scroll]

actually i might be crazy, was there an "easy" way to give a new object type its own calculate function?

[red flower]

why dont you extend from center or something else with a calculate function

[willow scroll]

because i may be stupid and/or misread the game_object.lua file :clueless:

actually no im not

or maybe i am ffs

[red flower]

😭

[willow scroll]

im extending SMODS.GameObject rn

because im doing smth similar to a sticker

should i have instead extended Center?

[red flower]

no idea never tried anything like that

[latent perch]

Schroedinger's intelligence

[latent perch]

me when quantum rank brainrot

[willow scroll]

stickers extend gameobject and seals too

surely if i just swap what i have to extend center it will magically work :clueless:

[red flower]

i would ask eremel

[daring fern]

Have you tried extending SMODS.Sticker?

[red flower]

i think the counters Ice made for blockbuster also work like stickers

[willow scroll]

me when i ask for help and i get help but now i feel stupid :clueless:

no i have not

lets see

[slim ferry]

most custom modifiers ive seen extend stickers

[versed swan]

What's the context that is sent to a playing card when it is drawn to hand?

[gilded goblet]

the only thing i wish for stickers rn is the ability to have stickers not be applied to jokers with other stickers

[daring fern]

That context doesn't exist.

[versed swan]

damn

hmm

[daring fern]

You would have to check if the card is in context.hand_drawn

[versed swan]

but docs is saying that's a boolean?

unless docs is outdated

[willow scroll]

they extend gameobject so i mightve been on the right track all along hold on

[daring fern]

Yes.

[versed swan]

sobbing rn

i can work with this, thank you

[versed swan]

actually what's the best way of doing this? do i just iterate through all elements in context.hand_drawn and compare with card?

(ig this is mainly a lua question than anything)

oh wait i have an idea for a better implementation of what I need, nvm

[gilded goblet]

since stickers isn't available at the time should_apply runs, what would be the best thing to do? rethink should_apply?

[robust marsh]

@slim ferry alright so uhhh the thing is, the boss blind actually advances the ante when it is beaten and because it's first it means that the other two blinds are useless

[slim ferry]

wha

i thought the game was hardcoded to where the last blind only increases the ante...

because cryptid makes bosses appear early but they DONT increase ante

[charred widget]

Hello again! I have a new joker that I'm having trouble with

[robust marsh]

i thought so too

[slim ferry]

does skipping work tho

does the small blind still up the ante

[robust marsh]

mmm i'll try rn

[wintry solar]

This is why I said it wasn’t properly supported

There’s a lot of work to do for changing the small and big blinds

[slim ferry]

idk i thought it was hardcoded the other way around

as in last blind specifically always increases ante regardless of type

but its apparently the opposite

[red flower]

the should_apply call could be moved after the vanilla ones but i dont think there's a lot you can do about stickers being applied at the same time, it would just depend on the load order

reading the code the best thing to do is to take_ownership of whatever sticker you want to conflict with and make its should_apply also not compatible with yours

[robust marsh]

I skipped the boss blind and then attempted to fight the small blind, yea this is mega cooked

[slim ferry]

okay yeah maybe this doesnt work

[robust marsh]

I was expecting it to break but this is bad

[gilded goblet]

oh yeah that sounds alright, idk why i never think about problems like this in that way

[wintry solar]

it's okay, you can spend hours fixing it now and then when I update smods to allow for this it'll all break again 🥳

[robust marsh]

Awesome, I love sittinf in my chair for hours on end 😁

[unkempt thicket]

Relatable

[red flower]

the biggest problem is just eternal and perishable using the same roll
i dont think there's a nice solution smods can do while still maintaining vanilla functionality

but they did make it so if you add should_apply to them then those get ignored so mods can change that

[gilded goblet]

yea

[charred widget]

I want Incineroar here to disable the boss blind effect ONLY on the first hand of the round. How can we go about implementing this? Also please don't mind the clusterfuck code it was generated in Jokerforge

also it's lowkey crashing my game

[slim ferry]

youre missing an end my friend

according to the crash

[modern kindle]

I do enjoy the concept of something simply lowkey crashing the game
Not a super big deal

[charred widget]

would be really helpful if you told me where

[robust marsh]

i'm gonna make a joker that crashes your game on pickup, removes your save file, reverts your purchase of Balatro and frames you as a serial killer with forged evidence which will be sent directly to the FBI

[slim ferry]

your indentation is fucky i really cant tell
PLEASE right click and do format document

[charred widget]

i'm not seeing the option

[slim ferry]

you use vscode right?

[charred widget]

yeah

[slim ferry]

shift+alt+f should also work

[robust marsh]

are you highlighting the code?

[charred widget]

ok i tried that

i'll see if it works

still has 7 problems according to the software

[slim ferry]

well yeah but it should look cleaner

its not there to solve code issues

[charred widget]

true

ok it doesn't look like it solved anything

[slim ferry]

can you send the code again

[charred widget]

it gave me the same crashlog

[slim ferry]

maybe i can find the missing end

now

[grand violet]

Gone

[charred widget]

thank you mods :3

[slim ferry]

thanks egg

[versed swan]

card_limit and extra_slots_used is so janky

i put them on an enhancement, but then when i change a card with that enhancement to something else, that card limit/extra slots value sticks around

[slim ferry]

i think the issue here is returning twice in a row

vscode seems to not like that for me

[modern kindle]

yea thats what im seein too

[charred widget]

i'll admit i left the code for incineroar half-done because i couldn't find the options i was looking for in jokerforge

[slim ferry]

it works when you merge the two functions

[charred widget]

oh it does clear up several issues

oop and it fixed everything

game no longer crashes

[daring fern]

‎

[charred widget]

ok so something i wanted to fix initially

i mentioned i left incineroar half-finished because i couldn't find the code for the functions i wanted

I want incineroar to disable the boss blind effect ONLY on the first hand

How can we set that up?

[slim ferry]

The only mod i know that does actually re-enable the boss blind is cryptid

And cryptid code is well
Cryptid code

[cursive gazelle]

Hook into joker retrigger calculation

[charred widget]

well I think it could work, i don't think it would have too much variation that would make the game crash

[daring fern]

You would disable the blind, then on the next hand call G.GAME.blind.config.blind.set_blind if it exists elsewise call the set_blind functions for the vanilla blinds set G.GAME.blind.disabled to false

[charred widget]

Ok let me go back into joker forge

im gonna see if there's a way i can make this easier on us

[cursive gazelle]

By the way i think you can use SMODS.Hook for that case

The seal thing

[daring fern]

No, that doesn't exist.

[cursive gazelle]

?

What

[charred widget]

oh yeah i found something in jokerforge that works exactly the way i want it to

[cursive gazelle]

I could swear i’ve seen something in the lines of SMODS.Hook

[daring fern]

SMODS.Hook doesn't exist.

[slim ferry]

I have seen SMODS.Hook only be used by someone who has just started modding and has no idea what a hook is

[robust marsh]

I sometimes see people trying to use it even though it straight up just doesn't exist

[cursive gazelle]

Omg I’m degenerate

[red flower]

i saw someone post something with SMODS.Hook but it was nonsense

[cursive gazelle]

I was looking at other code

[red flower]

probably chatgpt

[cursive gazelle]

Nevermind

[red flower]

there was a smods feature request to make an smods.hook

[cursive gazelle]

Really

[wintry solar]

it shouldn't do, can you show your code?

[modern kindle]

yea these are the only results that show up

[wintry solar]

it was a request from some cryptid folk

[slim ferry]

What the fuck is the point of that when you can just hook normally

[cursive gazelle]

Ah i see

[red flower]

oh so it was chatgpt lol

[cursive gazelle]

Lmao

[red flower]

manipulating order and better crashlogs i think

let me find it

[slim ferry]

I suppose so

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1334988047229653042/1363452894019584092

[slim ferry]

But it would also be far more limited than an actual hook

[cursive gazelle]

I remember someone like said

You can hook retrigger stuff with smods.hook

[charred widget]

WAIT IT WORKS

[cursive gazelle]

But i just kept it in the back of my head

Lol

[modern kindle]

fascinating

@ mods

[cursive gazelle]

Are you a mod developer?
Yes
Yes

[versed swan]

SMODS.Enhancement {
    key = "dense",
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local item = card and card.ability or self.config --[[@as any]]
        return {vars = {
            item.extra.tungsten_handsize_mod,
            item.extra.holdingthis
        }}
    end,

    atlas = "opticenhance_atlas",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    in_pool = function() return false end,
    config = {
        card_limit = -1,
        extra = {
            tungsten_handsize_mod = 1, holdingthis = 0
        }
    },

    -- (not relevant to enhancement change)
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.before then
            Ovn_f.temp_handsize_change(card.ability.extra.tungsten_handsize_mod)
        end
    end,
}

Important bit is card_limit = -1 - on a card this persists even when enhancement is changed

[charred widget]

nevermind, it is not in fact working as expected

[cursive gazelle]

I feel like a better dev already

[robust marsh]

i still have a ton of room for improvement

[red flower]

i still have time to quit

[robust marsh]

listen to the voices

[cursive gazelle]

I think you’re too deep

[slim ferry]

How it feels to watch the debugging joker forge to fully coding pipeline in modding-dev

[cursive gazelle]

In this rabbit hole

[wintry solar]

this is supposed to reduce hand size by 1?

[willow scroll]

anyhow i decided to pivot to something slightly more jank but easier to work with since my use case is a bit jank anyway, but now im being dumb again, how does one add onto an info queue outside of actually initializing it properly? as in what if i wanted to directly inject a table into card.ability_UIBox_table.info, how could i get that table

[robust marsh]

top 10 modding tips, tie print to all of your functions and enable debug plus so you look like a professional in front of your friends

[versed swan]

Yep

[cursive gazelle]

N do you have draggable ui in js ?

[red flower]

no

[wintry solar]

huh

oh there's a typo T_T

[versed swan]

tale as old as time

[charred widget]

ok so i have a recurring theme with some of my new jokers

if the codeblocks aren't available, i just leave it half coded

[primal robin]

HotPot have draggable UI

[charred widget]

and in that spirit, I have Zygarde 50%

[slim ferry]

The joker forge to coding pipeline is real :P

[charred widget]

what I WANT it to do is convert the first hand played into cell cards, and retrigger the highest ranked cell card twice

How can we go about finishing the code?

[daring fern]

How does one rescore a joker?

[wintry solar]

this does literally nothing

[slim ferry]

Le forge code i imagine

Joker forge trigger + condition but no effect

[charred widget]

yeah i literally said it's half done

which admittedly isn't the best idea

[robust marsh]

then

end

💔 🥀

[slim ferry]

Hit up vanillaremade for code reference if you dont do it already

[robust marsh]

every day i pray to vanillaremade

[charred widget]

you're probably right

anyways my reasoning with leaving the joker half coded is that maybe we could use the initial code as a starting point and build from there

but then i realized that jokerforge code is a clusterfuck

[slim ferry]

Vanillaremade is like half of the way i learned lua lmfao

It goes crazy

[red flower]

i learned lua from reading smods code

[charred widget]

where can i find vanilla joker code?

it's probably in vanillaremade but i can't find it atp and i'd like some help

[wide chasm]

bump

[robust marsh]

i learned smods code from reading assembly

[ocean sinew]

I learned assembly from reading smods code

[robust marsh]

brilliant

[primal robin]

I learned lua by seeing it in dota2 custom games, and then from vanilla code, lul

[wintry solar]

I learned lua by fixing old wow addons and writing smods code 😭

[slim ferry]

In the second modding chat pinned message, theres a link to a threas in which there is the vanillaremade link

[primal robin]

In my future plans is some kind of wiki about Balatro's entire UI thing

[robust marsh]

hell

[primal robin]

Not sure is this will become true, but who knows

[robust marsh]

i genuinely struggled with the UI so fucking much

[charred widget]

ok now zygarde-10 is giving me trouble

so basically Zygarde-10 is supposed to create a Cell consumable card when you play a full house

but it just crashes the game instead

wait no i fixed it

ignore this

alright i have a different problem with zygarde-10 now

actually no, with the Cell cards it creates

here's the edition for Cell cards

and here's the cell consumable

the problem is the cell consumable is turning cards into foil cards, not cell cards

and i genuinely cannot figure out why

[willow scroll]

G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_edition({ foil = true }, true)
i think its this?

chance foil to your edition key

iirc

[charred widget]

where the hell is that in the code???

(rhetorical)

[slim ferry]

Why the fuck is joker forge code so wierd

Ive never looked at it before

[charred widget]

idk, ask the devs

[charred widget]

now it makes the game crash

[willow scroll]

did you add the mod prefix?

[charred widget]

i may be stupid

[willow scroll]

and or normal edition prefix

i forgot if editions have those

[slim ferry]

Yeah they do

e_

[charred widget]

ok new crash just dropped

so what happens is when it detects 10 Cell-edition cards in the whole deck, it transforms into zygarde-50

and i had more than 10 cell cards in the deck

so i think it tried to transform but

couldnt

[willow scroll]

lets go i got back to where i had this but now instead of being entirely jank its actually its own object type and the ui just injects itselfs into existence

but it still jankily uses global mod calculate to actually function 😭

[slim ferry]

Just like vanilla code 🤷

[charred widget]

can y'all help me search through Zygarde's code to find what is preventing it from transforming?

[willow scroll]

raaah i want to be able to just put calculate = function(... into my object and have it work but i tried to read smods documentation for an hour or so and it turns out im stupid and i dont get it 😔

[slim ferry]

If it works it works

[daring fern]

card:undefined() doesn't exist.

[charred widget]

so that's just smack dab in the middle of the code and i don't know what it's trying to do

[slim ferry]

I would just remove it and see if the crash changes at all

[charred widget]

ok

ok there's another undefined value

SMODS.add_card{set = 'item', soulable = undefined, key = 'c_legendar_cell', key_append = 'joker_forge_item'}

soulable = undefined

what does that mean

[slim ferry]

soulable is supposed to be true/false how the fuck did that get there

I would also just remove that

[red flower]

i mean that wont do anything if undefined is undefined

[slim ferry]

True

I suppose

[charred widget]

tbf it didn't crash my game when it was there

[slim ferry]

But why doesnt joker forge just use nil directly 😭

[red flower]

I don't think we should use jokerforge code as a base

[slim ferry]

Mayhaps

[red flower]

lol

[charred widget]

probably not lol

[slim ferry]

The using joker forge > debugging joker forge code > what the fuck is this dogshit code > coding from scratch moment

I kinda like joker forge for that though

It gets more people into mod development

[charred widget]

ok zygarde did transform but not completely

it created zygarde-50 but didn't destroy itself

[willow scroll]

real and true

[willow scroll]

smh this is so nice now except i need to put the calculate for every backsticker into SMODS.current_mod.calculate for now

day ruined

[slim ferry]

Also tbh i wish more people did flip card > set_ability > flip back for jokers transforming
It looks very clean

I just feel like most people dont know that set_ability can be used with and on any center in theory

Instead of just enhancements

[red flower]

i used to do it but i now i just do a wiggle

mainly because i have a lot of transformation effects

so it becomes annoying

[slim ferry]

Fair

At least i prefer set_ability over destroying self and creating next card

Because cool

[red flower]

yeah

[charred widget]

ok so if i want zygarde-10 to destroy itself when it transforms, should i use SMODS.destroy?

and then like destroy_joker or something

[willow scroll]

havent made any transforming things but i probably will and i didnt know this so i will keep this in mind

[willow scroll]

unless the mines count

[charred widget]

i'm grasping for straws here because i can't find a "destroy self" code in the vanilla remade wiki section

[daring fern]

SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

it should be therr

there

[charred widget]

ok now where do i put it

[cursive gazelle]

After your context

What are you trying to do exactly

[charred widget]

Zygarde-10 is trying to destroy itself after creating zygarde-50

as a "transformation"

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah just add smods.destroy_card after smods.add_card

[charred widget]

crashed

[cursive gazelle]

Can i see the code

[cursive gazelle]

A screenshot (i’m on phone )

[cursive gazelle]

You code is outside the calculate function

Starting from local count

[cursive gazelle]

You have an extra then in line 76

This code is on life support no offense

[charred widget]

it was generated in joker forge i know it's abysmal dogshit

how tf did the devs fuck up the code generation that much

[cursive gazelle]

It’s probably txt

I mean you can fix it

Lol

[charred widget]

that's a bold assumption, i can hardly understand what the hell is going on

[wintry solar]

it's not fucked, it's just done in a way that is awful to read as a human

[cursive gazelle]

Try fixing the syntax errors first

[modern kindle]

im sorry somethingi have no idea aside of just like, somehow retriggering the jokers calculate itself through the seal but i feel like thats far too messy

i know when i was originally messing with my calculate joker hook all of the aspects of specific jokers would retrigger (such as things like destruction rolls)

my brain would say if you could just read the ability or ability extra and see its values then just replicate them within the seal, but then again that value manipulation is tiresome

[charred widget]

i have almost 0 knowledge of any coding language

[cursive gazelle]

I’m glad you’re pushing through it honestly

You have my respect

But at least watch some youtube tutorials about lua

Nonetheless you can read vanillaremade wiki

It’s very simple

[charred widget]

well now it's saying i dont have a lua formatter installed when i literally do

[cursive gazelle]

Maybe it’s your workspace

Try changing it

[charred widget]

workspace???

[cursive gazelle]

Man

[charred widget]

i'm actually restarted

i know nothibng

[cursive gazelle]

😭

[charred widget]

valid reaction

[cursive gazelle]

Just google it it’s not a big deal

We all start from the 0 point

[charred widget]

ok from what i can tell idk what would be wrong with my workspace

i only have zygarde10.lua open

i don't know why it thinks i don't have a lua formatter

ok i'm actually considering restarting the entire development process for my mod from the beginning

just so it would make it easier for other people to help me

and would cause less public humiliation for me

and less secondhand embarrasment for everyone else

but at the same time i can;t

because it's all built on Jokerforge

and it handles everything else pretty well

it handles the textures well

and the base code is good

[modern kindle]

i think its okay to start wherever, just be willing to learn
thankfully vremade and the smods docs are very helpful, as well as there is a modding starter guide to follow https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[candid prism]

uhh why is this displaying nil as the number?

[daring fern]

It's s_eechips not s_mult

[charred widget]

that's the thing - i'm willing to learn. the problem is that i basically just sat down halfway into a semester of nuclear physics

[daring fern]

Also eechips should be a number.

[modern kindle]

nuclear physics aint that hard, just fusion the fission and youll be alright

[candid prism]

oh shit mb i was yoinking from wrathful joker and i how i heard eechips are made

[charred widget]

alright i come to y'all with the most puzzling crash yet

it's trying to indext field 'ability'

but i looked in the code and there are NO instances of 'ability'

[red flower]

it's not from your file, it's from the smods files

it says that it's from destroy_cards

[charred widget]

so what do i do about this

[red flower]

what's the code

[red flower]

destroy_cards takes a card object

not a key

so it would literally be SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

in this situation

[charred widget]

i think i get it

let me see if it changes anything

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand

it's a syntax error that i can't locate

[errant arrow]

how would i make my code check for higher than a certain number, but less than another?
-# ex: Greater than 50, less than or equal to 75

i currently have

if randomnumber <=75 and > 50 then

but i get hit with the error

[brave blade]

if randomnumber <= 75 and randomnumber > 50 then

[errant arrow]

ah

[brave blade]

But if you are trying to make a chance-based effect, you should probably use the built-in probability system in SMODS

[errant arrow]

the pseudorandom? i have it

[brave blade]

Specifically SMODS.pseudorandom_probability()

You can read more about it here

[errant arrow]

im using randomnumber = pseudorandom("prefix_jokerkey", #, #)

[brave blade]

Yeah, that method of probability is outdated if you're using SMODS 711a or above

[red flower]

*only if you want your stuff affected by probability modifiers

if you actually need a random number then it's fine

[brave blade]

Oops yeah

[errant arrow]

which i don't

[brave blade]

Sorry

[red flower]

yeah, oops

like the joker

get it

because probability

[charred widget]

ok while you guys are here, could you help me figure out a syntax error that's evading me?

[errant arrow]

insert prowler goku meme

[red flower]

also destroy_cards doesnt return anything

[charred widget]

ok what do i do with this

[red flower]

see the part underlined in red?

it's wrong, remove it

[charred widget]

well that makes a different set of brackets turn red

[red flower]

you're missing parentheses in the event

these should be closed there

oh also add_event is missing some too

im sorry this code is kinda a mess lol

[charred widget]

it's straight from jokerforge, i only just now formatted it

so it's on me

[red flower]

use this other event earlier as a guide

[charred widget]

ok i did some stuff and i'm no longer seeing any red brackets

so i'll check if it's working

[charred widget]

i literally can't figure this out for the life of me

[red flower]

post code again

[red flower]

why are you doing the table with the key again

[rocky plaza]

so think about the event manager like the checkout line at a store
func by default represents what happens once an event reaches the "register", and if func returns true then the event is done at the register
so in N's event above once the event is "at the register", the function adds a card and resets the consumable buffer

[charred widget]

i don't know wtf i'm doing

[red flower]

i would honestly recommend starting from scratch

this code is too convoluted for what it seems to be like a simple effect

[charred widget]

ok then

so the main function of Zygarde 10% is that it creates a Cell consumable when you play a Full House

[daring fern]

if context.scoring_name == "Full House"

[charred widget]

what prefixes do planet cards have

I found the add card function

and it says { key = "c_fool" }

does the "c" stand for Consumable?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[charred widget]

so if I wanted to give an Earth instead, I would just replace the "fool" with "earth"?

it doesn't seem like the prefix would change

now the "if" at the beginning of the function is acting up

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

You need a calculate function.

[charred widget]

where would i put that?

[errant arrow]

question, for doing exponent modifications and their message, can i do

return {
(insertmultandchipcalc),
mult_message = 'text',
chip_message = 'text'
}

and it would post the message when the exponent modifier plays?

[daring fern]

Around the if

[daring fern]

No, it would be mult_message = {message = 'text'} and chip_message = {message = 'text'}

[errant arrow]

Steamodded's wiki says otherwise though...

-# have to use my phone to access GitHub

[charred widget]

ok, i tried it

and thankfully balatro opened

but as soon as i tried to select the last card for a Full House, my game crashed

[daring fern]

c_cell doesn't exist.

[charred widget]

wait hold on

[daring fern]

Yes, but that's incorrect.

[charred widget]

Okay, it technically works now

i just doesn't do what i want it to

when i select the full house, it creates 3 consumables

i want it to create 1 consumable one the full house is done scoring

[daring fern]

if context.after and context.scoring_name == "Full House"

[charred widget]

ok thank you

ok next i want it to check if there are more than or equal to 10 cell cards after a blind is defeated.

you know what i'll come back at another time

[errant arrow]

What's the format for creating a joker?
-# as in at the end of a round, create joker

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then
    SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker"})
end

[errant arrow]

Is "Joker" the key for the joker?

[daring fern]

No, "Joker" is the set.

[errant arrow]

I need it to make a specific joker.

this is the code

[spark owl]

Sorry to interrupt your profile looks peak ok back to my stuff

[errant arrow]

peak as in based off peak game?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = "j_modprefix_key"})

[winter flower]

how do i get it so that a config option enables a set of jokers

[daring fern]

if ocstobal.configbs.unbalanced_mode

[robust depot]

so im new to making mods for balatro, is there a list of syntax cause im confused on what to put to make some things happen

specifically trying to make a joker retrigger itself

[spark owl]

Yes

[wild escarp]

How can I check for whenever a joker is destroyed or sold?

[daring fern]

if (context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card.ability.set == "Joker") or (context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker")

[unreal cosmos]

i think steamodded is broken

balatro isnt booting with it

[robust depot]

how could one have a joker retrigger itself

[daring fern]

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == card

[robust depot]

ive def goobed something up cause its not working

[daring fern]

Do you have joker retriggers enabled?

[robust depot]

what do you mean?

[hallow slate]

How do I juice up the UI

[wild escarp]

How could I make cards appear in other vanilla packs? Like black hole and the soul.

[daring fern]

ui:juice_up()?

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        retrigger_joker = true
    }
end

[robust depot]

dawg ngl i forgot joker retriggers arnt vanilla

well it works after that so major W

[robust depot]

Could you explain why it’s referencing for other_card? In my mind that means it’s looking for something that’s not itself

[daring fern]

context.other_card is the card it is retriggering.

[robust depot]

So it’s checking other_card as itself and going from there?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[robust depot]

Ok so it’s saying context.other_card(what’s being affected) == card(itself)

[frosty rampart]

context.retrigger_joker_check is true every time any joker triggers. you want to see if the joker currently triggering (i.e. context.other_card) is the same as the joker running the calculate code (i.e. card), because you want the joker to only retrigger itself

[daring fern]

No, it isn't, it's not true on a joker that doesn't return, or it has no_retrigger in the return.

[azure laurel]

someone can give me an example of how works "G.GAME[key:lower() .. '_rate']" for custom consumable types. what is lower, why there is a (), why there is inside []?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.consumabletypekey_rate

[azure laurel]

I guess….

[clear ocean]

is 80 chips good or should i do something like 8 mult as well or would that make it uncommon this is the joker of my mod just a starter

which one is better i could make it where the mult is for like the last hand or something

[feral tree]

what does key_append do?

[daring fern]

It's a way to identify what is creating a card.

[clear ocean]

would this make it balanced?

or is a static 80 chips and 8 mult okay for a common

scholar is common and can pretty consistently give +40 Chips +8 Mult

[jolly shadow]

i think its ok

if it was scaling or it triggered multiple times it mightve been unc

[clear ocean]

It might be unc…

[feral tree]

How can i tell what the key of base jokers are?

[feral tree]

thx

how do i remove a joker from the shop?

[daring fern]

G.shop_jokers.cards[1]:remove()

[dreamy lodge]

Why is it G.consumeables and not G.consumables? is it just a balatro code misspelling or is there some other reason?

[umbral zodiac]

yeah it is just a misspelling lmao

but if someone were to fix it itd cause infinitely more issues than the convenience of it being spelled right

[dreamy lodge]

xD

[slim ferry]

caino type shit

[robust depot]

new issue, could be related to the old one. probably is

[daring fern]

You're missing a , on the end of loc_vars

[robust depot]

well it loaded, but then crashed when i hovered over the joker

[daring fern]

You're using .s instead of ,s.

Also card.ability.extra.mult doesn't exist.

[robust depot]

it was working before i tried to add probability into it

[robust marsh]

fix "demoninator" to denominator

typo, it happens

[robust depot]

dawg the guide had that mispelled lol

[daring fern]

No, those variables don't exist.

[robust marsh]

oh? I thought he declared them mb

On mobile rn

[robust depot]

this is bringing back bad memories of AP comp sci

[robust depot]

that sounds like a bad thing

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to replace those with the numerator and denominator.

[robust marsh]

you can probably take a look at how the lucky cards do it in vanillaremade if you're confused. I used that for one of my jokers

[robust depot]

im guessing not like this

[robust depot]

whats vanillaremade

[slim ferry]

its card.ability.extra.mult but besides that it looks fine

besides other_value not existing

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua

[daring fern]

No, it's not because that doesn't exist.

[slim ferry]

right

i forgot

[robust depot]

whats the correct thing? the two guides i know of use that

[slim ferry]

you use the variable that you defined in your joker config

[daring fern]

card.ability.extra.Xmult, also you need to put variables in your description.

[slim ferry]

also yeah loc_vars is pointless if youre just not going to use them anyway

[robust depot]

theyre used later down

[slim ferry]

fym

no they arent

?

loc_vars are for the description

they pass the joker variables into the joker description

[robust depot]

yea i need that to update the chance

[slim ferry]

okay

[robust marsh]

I'm at school so I can't really check for myself rn but it's possible to patch the joker area so it doesn't score if its states.visible is false, at least I'd assume

right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[robust marsh]

Alright, thank you

[robust depot]

how in tarnation is numerator nil

[slim ferry]

because it doesnt exist

there is no variable called that

you also need to put actual numbers in the pseudorandom roll

[robust depot]

does the numerator in my config area not define it

where does one define it properly

[slim ferry]

thats card.ability.extra.numerator

not just numerator

[frosty rampart]

whenever you define a variable in the config -> extra table, you must use it as card.ability.extra.[variable]

[daring fern]

No, anything in config goes to card.ability

[frosty rampart]

yes
and i specified in the extra table

[robust depot]

i did that and now this has shown up

[daring fern]

Code?

[robust depot]

oh never mind im an idiot

ignore me

new trouble brewed

[robust marsh]

comma award

[robust depot]

wait did i miss a comma

[robust marsh]

nah i was referring to this

[daring fern]

context.card doesn't exist.

[manic rune]

context.card probably doesn't exist

[robust depot]

how does one make that exist, where would it go.

[daring fern]

No, remove context.

[robust depot]

back to this one

[robust marsh]

should also add extra since card.ability.numerator doesn't exist. Should be card.ability.extra.numerator no?

same for denominator

[queen meadow]

is there a check for when a card is debuffed? i want to do something similar to steel joker but for debuffed playing cards.

[daring fern]

No, you would count the amount of debuffed cards manually.

[queen meadow]

damn 💔

[robust depot]

uhhh this is new

[daring fern]

Yes, you need a context check.

[robust depot]

but earlier i had to remove context

or should i have kept one in specific.

[daring fern]

Yes, you're calling SMODS.pseudorandom_probability without a context check.

[robust depot]

now were back to this one

[daring fern]

context.card still doesn't exist.

[robust depot]

you said to remove the context for it to work last time

[robust marsh]

yeah because you were using a non existent context

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to check the context before you do the probability check.

[robust depot]

so this

if context.card.ability.extra.numerator >= 5 then

[robust marsh]

no..

[red flower]

remove the context from these

[robust depot]

dawg were going in circles

[red flower]

no we're not

[robust depot]

if i do that its gonna overflow

[red flower]

thats another different problem

the probability check needs to be inside a context check

so like

if context.retrigger_joker_check then
  if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(...) then
  end
end

[robust depot]

still overflew : (

[red flower]

whats the code

[robust depot]

ok i tried having both the rng things inside the retrigger check and it worked

playing the hand broke it tho

but now it loads into the ante

[red flower]

you still have context.card
...

[queen meadow]

let's go

[robust depot]

oh wait that did it

i was so confused on the context.

i added it and removed it like 8 times

ok but now it doesnt retrigger at all

even with 3 oops's

[daring fern]

Code?

[robust depot]

probs the math i rushed it

[daring fern]

card.ability.extra.numerator is not greater than or equal to 5

[robust depot]

but with 3 oops it would be 6 right

or are they not interacting

[daring fern]

Yes, it doesn't change the variable.

[robust depot]

now this is just confusing, ive been tinkering with the code looking at bloodstones. But this is nowhere near what i was touching?

[true jasper]

It looks like you have 3 instances of end that aren't needed at the bottom

[robust depot]

oh yea i did remove alot of lines i def forgot to remove some of those
