How do we do an error check for nil to skip something?

    {
        path = 'helluvasleeves.png', 
    },
    true
)
SMODS.Atlases['casl_sleeve_atlas'].mod = SMODS.current_mod``` I have this bit of code to put card sleeves but if a user doesn't have the card sleeves mod it gives a nil error.

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 12:55 PM

#

why are you using take ownership on atlases instead of just using malverk anyway..
anyway the check would be if CardSleeves then since that checks for the global table that cardsleeves creates

high verge Sep 10, 2025, 12:55 PM

#

Oh funny you guys are already discussing nil checks xD

#

    {
        path = 'helluvasleeves.png', 
    },
    true
)
if casl_sleeve_atlas == nil then
else
SMODS.Atlases['casl_sleeve_atlas'].mod = SMODS.current_mod
end``` I changed it to this and I'm not sure if it's right but the error left so, I think it's working?

#

Nope

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

interesting way of doing that check

#

just do if casl_sleeve_atlas

high verge Sep 10, 2025, 1:04 PM

It's wrong

#

I'll try that

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 1:05 PM

okay what am i even doing wrong here, im trying to make a sleeve but it always does the default effect regardless of what deck i have. i did the exact same check for another sleeve but it works there

high verge Sep 10, 2025, 1:06 PM

    {

    },
    true
)
if casl_sleeve_atlas then

else
SMODS.Atlases['casl_sleeve_atlas'].mod = SMODS.current_mod

You need to define G.GAME.current_round.SM_the_variable

sorry to jump in, does anyone happen to know if there's a context for the time when gold cards give their money? Honestly I'm just trying to do what is essentially a gold quantum enhancement but I've been encountering weird issues with death interacting with quantum enhancements that seem to be encountered by other people as well

#

I've got this right now in my joker's calculate which doesn't work.
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.end_of_round and SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)["m_steel"] == true then
if not context.other_card.debuff then

you gonna need to use context.individual and context.end_of_round with context.cardarea == G.hand

#

and see if the card scoring is a gold card

lofty elm Sep 10, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

sorry I might be misunderstanding, is this different from that?
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.end_of_round and SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)["m_steel"] == true then
this is what I have now but it doesnt work :(

cyan lagoon Sep 10, 2025, 5:01 PM

try SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_gold")

also, if you need gold cards why are you looking for steel?

lofty elm Sep 10, 2025, 5:02 PM

Sorry, I'm trying to make steel cards give money like they're gold, without just doing a quantum enhancement

it's a joker right?

then you can have a joker give money if a steel card is scored

hi! im super new to this so im sorry if its just a silly mistake but im trying to make a tarot card that changes cards to a modded enhancement i have. ive gotten it to work but for some reason when it changes enhancements it like flashes another card or flashes transparent first before showing the new enhanced card? does anyone know why that may be? again so sorry if this is a question that is obvious lol

slim ferry what is that doing there

ok so i made everything work after removing the nebula_galaxy

#

how could i make it sync up with the vanilla ancient joker tho

wide chasm how could i make it sync up with the vanilla ancient joker tho

if you just wanted to make it be the same suit as ancient at all times you shouldve just used the same variable as ancient

wide chasm Sep 10, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

cool.. and what does that mean..

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

use the same variable as the one that ancient joker uses in vanilla

wide chasm Sep 10, 2025, 6:00 PM

#

what variable where

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 6:00 PM

#

idfk i dont know what variable the vanilla ancient suit is from memory

but it is what you have to use

wide chasm Sep 10, 2025, 6:01 PM

#

what in my code do i replace with the vanilla ancient joker thing tho

#

like the last part where it changes the suit?

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 6:02 PM

the suit in the joker

#

you wont need the entire suit changing thing if copying the ancient suit since it already changes

so the or "Spades" kicks in

so (... or {}).suit or "Spades" is valid

local timer1, timer2 = 0, 0
local old_update = Game.update

function Game:update(card, dt)
    old_update(self, card, dt)

    dt = dt or 1/60

    if G.GAME.FervencyCounter then
        if G.GAME.FervencyCounter <= 50 and G.GAME.FervencyCounter > 30 then
            timer1 = timer1 + dt
            if timer1 >= 1 then
                play_sound('tdec_hbeat1')
                timer1 = 0
            end
        end

        if G.GAME.FervencyCounter <= 30 and G.GAME.FervencyCounter > 15 then
            timer2 = timer2 + dt
            if timer2 >= 0.4 then
                play_sound('tdec_hbeat2')
                timer2 = 0
            end
        end
    end
end

alt tabbing speeds up the rate at which the sound effects are repeated, any way to get around this or is it just not fixable? Besides that this works just fine

sturdy compass Sep 10, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

My guess is the dt = dt or 1/60 is defaulting to 1/60 when alt tabbed

#

No real reason to have a backup for dt anyways

robust marsh Sep 10, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

sturdy compass My guess is the `dt = dt or 1/60` is defaulting to 1/60 when alt tabbed

didn't really find a better way to deal with it because it would just result in a nil value

sturdy compass Sep 10, 2025, 6:41 PM

dt shouldn't ever be a nil value guh

robust marsh Sep 10, 2025, 6:41 PM

not sure why it is droidcry

I suppose instead of doing a fallback you could just wrap everything in an if dt then

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

sturdy compass dt shouldn't ever be a nil value <a:guh:1065750101231927437>

i assume when you alt-tab out of the game, some stuff freezes and so dt becomes 0 because no time is passing

Yeah but 0 is not nil

Using context.destroy_card, how would I destroy all cards in my full hand aside from the first?

#

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            local should_remove = false
            for i, hand_card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                if i > 1 then
                    should_remove = true
                end
            end
            if should_remove then
                return { remove = true }
            end
        end

this currently destroys all of them

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 7:10 PM

#

context.destroy_card is like context.individual, it runs once on every card. don't loop through the full hand, just check if context.destroy_card ~= context.full_hand[1]

vocal helm Sep 10, 2025, 7:11 PM

thanks!

is there a thing to make a card undebuffable ?

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

return prevent_debuff = true in context.debuff_card

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

oh ok thx Eris

#

Is it gonna work for an enhancement

#

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 7:53 PM

#

you should check if context.debuff_card == card

#

is what i assume you want

#

also individual and debuff_card are never called at the same time

#

or during context.before

#

debuff_card is only calculated when calculating card debuffs

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

like that ?

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

individual and debuff_card are never called at the same time

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

yeah but its an enhancement that prevent the debuff for him and card in the same card area

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

the point is that you don't need context.individual at all. debuff_card is called on every card like individual is

#

debuff_card is called on a card whenever something attempts to debuff that card

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

so if my card is held in hand, every card held in hand will be prevent from debuff?

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:04 PM

#

you should do if context.cardarea == card.area

#

i think

#

and context.cardarea ~= G.deck

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:04 PM

#

yeah but is the deck a card area

#

oh

#

is there other card area

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

G.discard i guess but thats an optional feature

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

if you only want to have it work in held hand, then it should be if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.cardarea == card.area. having both G.play and G.hand let through means that it'll have a similar effect if your card is in played hand

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

im pretty sure its intended to allow both

#

also

#

debuffs might not recalculate for this card

#

so you would probably need to do recalc_debuff stuff

#

or whatever the method is called

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:09 PM

next timber is there a way to make a joker pinned to the right side of the joker area?

vanilla pinned uses a hardcoded thing in Cardareas:align or smth so you'd probably have to patch that

#

but ive seen mods make cards not draggable

#

so you could also do stuff with that maybe]

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:10 PM

my code look like this and it doesnt seems to work

#

btw thats the decription

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:11 PM

#

try looping over G.playing_card (i think that contains every playing card) and calling :recalc_debuff or whatever its called on every card

#

in some context, probably like hand_drawn

next timber Sep 10, 2025, 8:18 PM

like this

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:19 PM

#

no do it in a different context

#

this is infinite loop

#

once debuffs get calculated

#

hand_drawn is probably a good timing for it

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

yeah

#

is it context.hand_drawn

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

yea

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

kk

#

so like that

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:21 PM

#

slim ferry this is infinite loop

and why was it an infinite loop

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:22 PM

#

recalculate debuffs > context.debuff_card gets calculated > recalculate debuffs > context.debuff_card gets calculated > ...

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

oh yeah

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

final jewel so like that

also this only works on the card that has the enhancement currently because of the context.debuff_card == card check

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:24 PM

#

so it's like context.debuff card == other_card

#

or it doesn't work

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:24 PM

#

no just remove that check

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:25 PM

#

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:25 PM

#

yeah i think this would work

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:25 PM

#

lets try

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:25 PM

#

though probably put the for loop inside the event

#

so that you arent calling 52+ events with a 0.15 second delay each

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 8:26 PM

#

fact

#

but am I supposed to use an event or it isnt necessary

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 8:27 PM

i dont think you need to

but itll probably look nicer

you can probably remove the trigger and delay though

make a .gitignore file and then put .vscode in it

so it doesnt get pushed to github or tracked

robust marsh Sep 10, 2025, 8:40 PM

        if G.GAME.FervencyCounter <= 0 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

                return true
            end
        }))
        end

I'm trying to make it so you just instantly lose once the counter on my card reaches 0. Normally it works fine but when the counter gets reduced at the end of the round and hits 0 the music will slow down but from there you won't be shown the loss screen and will be allowed to go on with the run. I tried slotting it into an event but I seem to be getting the same result. This is definitely a timing issue which idk how to fix

final jewel btw thats the decription

but thats what I want at start

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

ohhh

#

actually i think i know

#

why its not doing the thing

#

because debuffs dont get updated when you play it so the cards in hand just stay not debuffed

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

is there an easy way to fix it or ...

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

just recalculate the debuffs in context.before as well

#

i think that would work

#

though

#

that might like make the played hand wierd

#

because like the poker hand has already been calculated by then

#

actually no because the cards in hand will be undebuffed anyway nvm

probably remove the context.cardarea == G.play thpo

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

yeah but if its stay in hand its the card held in hand that are undebuff

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

i dont think it matters tbh

#

the cardarea for the recalc

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

gilded goblet im assuming you mean "Slots Used"?

yea
the "Slots Used" is the generic infobox that pops up on any card that takes up extra slots (i'm using the new extra_slots_used feature from smods 0827), i want it to read "Gigantic" and "Takes up an extra slot" like other stickers do

first screenshot is in descriptions -> Other, second is misc -> labels

#

i think the best way to go about this is just to not apply the extra_slots_used adjustment if it's being applied to a fake card

#

but idk how to detect if a card is a fake card during the apply function

gilded goblet Sep 10, 2025, 9:15 PM

#

yeah i thought "fake" (base) cards would have like only a few parameters but they have a lot

#

idk what i would do either

distant junco Sep 10, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

yo chat, cant remember if i asked already but does anyone know how to check for "any" enhancement? i tried has_enhnacement() by itself but it applies to every card

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

if <card>.config.center.key ~= "c_base"

distant junco Sep 10, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

ahh okay ill try that

#

works great, thanks!

gilded goblet Sep 10, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

frosty rampart i think the best way to go about this is just to not apply the extra_slots_used ...

the problem ive been finding out about stickers is that should_apply and apply run before the card gets all its abilities, so if you tried to do a check like if card.ability.eternal return false end in should_apply, it would just fail and apply ur sticker anyway

i really wish it were as simple as "oh, lets just check if this card has/is this!"

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

yea lol i ran into that with the patches i'm working on for starspace (i wanted them to only apply if the card doesn't have the counterpart sticker, e.g. the generous patch can't be on a card at the same time as rental)

gilded goblet Sep 10, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

what im doing right now is dynamically changing values with an Event in apply

#

it's so fucking ugly and awful

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

I test it out in some way and it doesnt work

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

frosty rampart but idk how to detect if a card is a fake card during the apply function

anyway i think i figured it out, fake cards count as playing cards but card.children.front is nil for fake cards and not regular playing cards

#

even stone cards have something in card.children.front

gilded goblet Sep 10, 2025, 9:25 PM

#

thats sick

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:26 PM

final jewel I test it out in some way and it doesnt work

why did you remove the context.hand_drawn recalc

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

slim ferry why did you remove the context.hand_drawn recalc

cause I make it context before

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

you should check for either

#

because otherwise like

#

its going to look wierd i think

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

but it will undebuff card when its draw, isnt it?

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

yeah

#

and then itll stay like that until it leaves the hand

#

i think

frosty rampart Sep 10, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

frosty rampart anyway i think i figured it out, fake cards count as playing cards but `card.chi...

it works 🔥

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

But I might do the thing that remove the debuff when drawn since wild card are never going to be good

#

So like you just want it to be drawn

#

And discard it after

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:35 PM

#

you could also just make a global mod calculate

#

so its not every card with the enhancement recalculating the debuffs

#

and then have it recalculate debuffs in any context where a card changes areas

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

Yeah I was thinking of that but I am not that advance in coding in lua\Smods

slim ferry Sep 10, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

i mean you could just let the enhancement be jank for now

#

and thenfix later or smth

#

its really late for me now but i could maybe do a quick PR to fix it tomorrow

final jewel Sep 10, 2025, 9:39 PM

robust depot what do i do to make Oops! affect the odds

context.mod_probability isn't for letting your probability values get modified, it's for cards that modify probabilities (i.e. something like oops all 6s itself)
check the release notes for 0711a for documentation on how to use the new probability api
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a

#

it also won't visually update the probability until you interact with the probability api in loc_vars too. that's also documented in the link i posted

you are checking context.other_card in smods.has_enhancement inside of context.joker_main

#

context.other_card does not exist because joker_main is for joker scoring effects usually

additionally you are checking if val (a card) is equal to a boolean (other_card having steel/lucky)

tbh not sure ive never done a joker that destroys cards like that
maybe context.before?
though i also think that joker_main could work as long as you use val and not context.other_card

#

since other_card is the card thats being looped over by the contexts, and you're already looping over the scoring hand's cards

Use a code editor like vscode
It’s so cheap (it’s free l)
And it will make your life so much easier )

What i always tell new beginners is just code a joker that give +1 mult and then x2 mult and then make it scale and make a joker that creates card then other stuff like leveling up hands etc

From events to returns to context checks to modifying game variables

is there something i missed setting it up maybe?

okay, theres some weird things youve gone for, but lets start with loc_vars. do something like the following:

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, "doofed")
  
  return {
    vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult, numerator, denominator}
  }
end,

for text do something like this:

text = {
  'Each played {C:purple}5 gives',
  '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult when scored',
  '',
  '{C:green}#2# in #3#{} chance to retrigger',
  '{s:0.6}its weird that it happened twice...',
}

#

see if it still crashes when you hover over it after doing this

#

thats not suppossed to be happening

#

ah wait i see what i did wrong

robust depot Sep 11, 2025, 1:43 AM

#

its the lack of cfg.odds is my guess my code relies on that for the math

gilded goblet Sep 11, 2025, 1:43 AM

#

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, "doofed")
  
  return {
    vars = {
      card.ability.extra.Xmult, numerator, denominator
    }
  }
end,

could you try this?
