okay new question

#

how would i hook in_pool 😭

daring fern
long sun
#

ya it changes the tarot and planet rates and such

#

oh i see, it uses patches

#

gotcha

wispy falcon
#

bump

rotund sable
#

It's called SMODS iirc

#

But depending what you want to test you may not need a custom deck

wild berry
#

how can i check when a joker gets moved

wispy cove
#

guys help

#

im trying to make it so if there's 3 of any kind of face card individually, it gives 3.14 mult

#

but my code is the uh

#

'not workl

wild berry
#

could you reformat please? it looks awful on my screen

image.png
daring fern
wispy cove
#

explain?

#

im a bit dum dum

wild berry
#

i think you pass an id

#

and it gives you how many of that id

daring fern
wild berry
#

are in the hand passed

#

or table

oh

daring fern
vale grove
#

hey yall just a quick question, how many py and px are seals?

daring fern
long sun
#

this patch works, except for the blind select page, where the blinds display their normal values

image.png
#

why doesn't that specifically work?

daring fern
long sun
#

ahhh i see

daring fern
#

Because it uses the dollars from the object from G.P_BLINDS

quartz pendant
# 
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.pre_discard and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'immediate',
                func = function()
                    local discard_count = #G.discard.cards
                    G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand(discard_count+1)
                    card:juice_up()
                    return true
                end
            }))
    end

I want to design a Joker card with the effect: "When discarding, you can draw one extra card." But my G.discard.cards seems to be empty during the first discard? (The first time, I discarded 5 cards, so I should have drawn 6 cards, but G.discard.cards was nil; the second time, I only discarded one card, and then G.discard.cards stored the cards from my previous discard, resulting in drawing 6 cards.)

Can I ban specific jokers from being spawned by SMODS.create_card

daring fern
robust marsh
daring fern
daring fern
robust marsh
# daring fern What do you mean?

Sorry, what I meant is would this somehow affect the seed pool in any way? For example if blueprint gets banned then unbanned again would that allow it to be spawned naturally? I thought banned keys permanently alters the joker pool

daring fern
robust marsh
#

I know I can just flick it from true to false and slot in SMODS.create_card in between

#

alright

#

thank you

hai :3 so uhm, im tryinna move a thing that currently works on math.random and math.randomseed into pseudoseed so it changes every time u go into a run, but im getting confused on how i should structure it

here is the original code:

math.randomseed(n)
return allowed[math.random(1, #allowed)]

and heres how i tried doing it (sorry if its stupid xwx):
return pseudorandom_element(allowed, pseudoseed(n))

any help would be useful <3

#

btw idk if its important but, allowed is a table

slim ferry
#

you should use pseudorandom

#

its just the same but in 1 function

quartz pendant
ashen drift
#

this is so fucked up

slim ferry
#

actually

#

wait

#

pseudorandom_element is correct yeah

ashen drift
#

indeed psuedorandom element

daring fern

#

what is the use of event manager add event

though cryptid is usually not the best reference

ashen drift
#

true

slim ferry

#

uhm

ashen drift
#

game isnt loaded for some fucking reason??

slim ferry
#

when does the crash happen

ashen drift
#

nvm 88 mods

daring fern
slim ferry
#

okay

#

yeah

meager quiver
ashen drift
#

how do people even play with 88 mods

slim ferry
#

okay but still maybe not a great idea to test with 88 mods 😭

ashen drift
#

in general it is best to dev your mod individually

meager quiver
ashen drift
#

show code

quartz pendant
slim ferry
#

yea

quartz pendant
#

but it's actually working

#

is there any way to fix this

#

after discarding twice, It's now drawing two cards that I don't recognize lol

image.png
#

those two blank spaces are (probably?) the card it drew

#

am i doing this right

hey yall just curios, how do you make a tarot card show up in the collection/tarot tab
i made my first tarot card and im kinda confused on how to make it show up in the collection (if it even exists lol)

lavish elm
daring fern
vale grove
#

then im probably doing something wrong lol

daring fern
lavish elm
#

ok thx for clarifying

vale grove
daring fern
vale grove
daring fern
vale grove
#

i just recently organized everything is there something i should know about that

#

previously everything was in a main.lua

daring fern
vale grove
#

how does loading work exactly

daring fern
wild berry
#

how can i get a rank's id

daring fern
wild berry
#

ty

#

are the suits in SMODS.Suits just their names

#

and if they arent, how can i get them

#

like with how card.base.suit stores them

daring fern
wild berry
#

and how can i get the key of a suit from a card

#

is it still card.base.suit

daring fern
wild berry
#

okty

lofty elm
#

quick question, anyone know if there's an equivalent next(SMODS.get_enhancements(k)) for seals or editions?

slim ferry
lofty elm
#

oh damn, I literally looked in that document but missed it

daring fern
lofty elm
#

ty lol

slim ferry
#

there isnt a function like that because quantum seals and editions dont exist

wild berry
#

why does this cause an overflow

#

how to increase booster shop and voucher shop slots?

wild berry
#

look at how vanillaremade does it

slim ferry
#

??

wild berry
#

search for overstock

slim ferry
#

vanillaremade doesnt do that

wild berry
#

wait

#

oops

#

i misunderstood

lavish elm
#

yeah I was confused

slim ferry
#

iirc

daring fern
wild berry
#

to create a temporary table for the suits

daring fern
wild berry
#

because im trying to make a deck that deletes 2 random suits for each rank

#

is the issue copytable?

daring fern
wild berry
#

what do i do instead then?

vale grove
#

is it a good idea to make one "main" file in my mods folder

#

that runs everything

#

so for example in meta deta i call main.lua as my main folder and then in that main cast all load files

daring fern
vale grove
daring fern
vale grove
#

yeah but

#

in more detail

slim ferry
#

theres not much detail to be explained

#

its jsut a file path

daring fern
vale grove
vale grove
daring fern
vale grove
#

so just mods?

daring fern
wild berry
daring fern
wild berry
#

ahh ok

vale grove
#

man im trying to look at other mods i have installed to try and draw inspiration and with every single line i read i get more and more confused

slim ferry
#

just look at vanillaremade

#

in VanillaRemade.lua

vale grove
#

wait what

#

if its that simple why does every mod ive looked at so far do it in a way more complicated way?

slim ferry
#

a lot of mods do recursive loaders because they have a lot of things split into individual files

stiff locust
#

i don't do recursive loaders

#

but also chaaaaat i need help with SMODS.gradient

#

I tried using it with custom colours and it's just coming out as black

wild berry
#

why does my deck delete every single card

image.png
stiff locust
#

from a glance, is this supposed to be a not?

image.png
wild berry
#

yes

#

because it chooses suits to keep

#

for that rank

stiff locust
#

what

#

hold on so you're destroying every card except

#

the 7 of hearts or something

#

?

wild berry
#

wait huh

#

no like

#

for every rank

stiff locust
#

oh for each rank

wild berry
#

yeah

#

if i like

#

choose hearts and spades

#

for example

#

jacks

#

it will only keep jacks of hearts and spades

#

and the suit will be randomized for the other ones

stiff locust
#

why don't you just destroy 2 cards from each rank in the deck

#

doesn't that have the same effect

wild berry
#

wait ur right

stiff locust
#

yeah i was wondering why you didn't do that

wild berry
#

smthing like this?

image.png
#

forgot the pairs, dont mind that

image.png
#

and it still destroys everything

are you referring to @stoic void or me

Vscode is free and by Microsoft

vale grove
#

im reading from vanllia remade on how to add tarots but im a little confused by something

wild berry
vale grove
#

-- The config field already handles the functionality so it doesn't need to be implement,
it says this under all of the tarots

cursive gazelle
#

Vscode is 100% safe

stoic void
vale grove
#

where and what is the config field exactly

slim ferry
cursive gazelle
#

Config is where you usually store your variables/values

wild berry
#

why is the amount of cards i lose incosistent

image.png image.png image.png
cursive gazelle
#

You can check the tarot remade code for reference

vale grove
slim ferry
#

how it works

#

the function of the card

vale grove
#

to jokers atleast theres alot more to it no?

slim ferry
#

yeah because jokers always require code

#

afaik

vale grove
slim ferry
#

but with consumables max_highlighted, mod_conv and suit_conv is handled automatically

stoic void
#

I dont know how to use vs code

vale grove
#

simple?

#

easy

lofty elm
#

Hey, I realied when you add a card to your hand from your deck, it comes facedown. I tried just adding :flip() after drawing it but it didnt work lol, anyone know how to fix that? (I'm drawing it using emplace like dna in vanilla remade)

cursive gazelle
lament agate
#

is calc_dollar_bonus a thing

vale grove
#

ig for more specification

#

i want to make a tarot that adds one seal to a card

#

so i was thinking of looking at justice and then change the glass value to a seal value

cursive gazelle
#

I believe

slim ferry
#

no???

vale grove
#

but now bcs of this whole config field im a little confused

cursive gazelle
#

Like a set of tarot ?

#

Like spectrals

slim ferry
#

even then

#

you would use ConsumableType

stoic void
#

I know how to use it now

image.png
cursive gazelle
#

My bad i forgot

vale grove
#

i was thinking about a whole seperate thing (like tarots, planets, spectrals, mything) but i have a feeling thats way to difficult (WAS as in not anymore just gonna stick to tarots for now)

cursive gazelle
#

God forbid you forget function

i ussually have a game open to play when i eventually have had enough headaches from trying to understand this XD

lofty elm
daring fern
lofty elm
#

oh ok cool

#

ty

#

or wait

#

can I draw a specific card this way?

daring fern
#

Use draw_card

lofty elm
#

doesn't seem like that's the way to do it

daring fern
lofty elm
#

sorry I'm unfamiliar with this one so just draw_card doesn't get me there

#

draw_card(card_to_draw)?

#

i need to draw a specific card

daring fern
lofty elm
#

ok cool

#

Where would I be able to find that information? I feel like I can never find functions like this in the github stuff I've seen

#

And I hate always asking you guys but idk where else to find this stuff

frosty rampart
#

vanilla functions like draw_card should have a bit of documentation in the lsp_def/vanilla.lua file in smods, but it's not super human readable because it's meant to be used by the LSP system

lofty elm
#

got it

#

someone should make a more accessible way to find this stuff lol

#

I say that as if that wouldn't be a ton of effort but like

#

it would be nice

frosty rampart
#

yea it's definitely a lot of work to write good documentation

#

but well worth the effort

lofty elm
#

ye

yeah sorry, are you asking how to implement your joker? or what

oh

#

that's cool

#

do you know anything about smods.gradient

daring fern
stiff locust
#

do you know why it would always be coming out black

daring fern
stiff locust
# 

local tsunlc = loc_colour
function loc_colour(_c, _default)
    if not G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS then
        tsunlc()
    end
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.tsun_gold1 = HEX("FFD700")
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.tsun_gold2 = HEX("f6e3c3")
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.tsun_gold3 = HEX("edd5a9")
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.tsun_gold4 = HEX("dcbe78")
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.tsun_gold5 = HEX("d8b162")
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.tsun_pale = HEX("E1ECF2")

    return tsunlc(_c, _default)
end

SMODS.Gradient {
    key = "tsun_gradient_gold",
    colours = {
        G.C.tsun_gold1,
        G.C.tsun_gold2,
        G.C.tsun_gold3,
        G.C.tsun_gold4,
        G.C.tsun_gold5,
    },
    cycle = 1
}

i made the code for all the other colours aages ago and i'm trying to convert them into a gradient now

#

the individual colours work properly

#

but the gradient is just always black

daring fern
rotund sable
#

Loc_colours are used in text

stiff locust
#

but when I do {C:tsun_gold1} in a joker the colours still work?

#

oh

#

well I guess that explains

#

that

#

it should work if I just put in the hex codes then right

daring fern
stiff locust
#

right okay

lofty elm
#

Hey, I'm having an issue where I add a card to hand at the start of a round, but if the played leaves and rejoins the run the card isn't there. I tried throwing a save_run() after adding the card to hand since I saw that somepleace but it didn't seem to work, anyone know how I might go about fixing that?

stiff locust
#

i completely forgot that everyone else can save runs and I can't

stiff locust
daring fern
stiff locust
#

oh

#

it didn't work

daring fern
stiff locust
#

the gradient works in text but here it just comes out white

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "tsun_gold_legendary",
    default_weight = 0,
    badge_colour =  SMODS.Gradients.tsun_tsun_gradient_gold,
    pools = { ["Joker"] = false },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}

and yes i tried it with only one tsun_ and it still just came out white

daring fern
stiff locust
#

I'm not sure

#

this code is at the top of a file loaded with load_file

#

and the file is loaded before the gradient is defined

#

but I thought loaded files ran after the current file was finished loading?

#

oh I can just put it in end_of_code

daring fern
stiff locust
#

i had this issue with something else and I made a lua file specifically for the end of the code

#

that didn't work either

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wild berry
#

is it possible to set other blinds (ex. small and big blind) to another blind?

stiff locust
#

yeah

wild berry
#

how so

stiff locust
#

idk

#

morefluff's hidden voucher does it

wild berry
#

who's what?

#

link it

rotund sable
#

From what I recall it needs a lot of patches

willow scroll
#

What's the best way to alter the chip amount per blind as long as a thing is held

#

Like if I wanted a voucher that doubled the score requirement

slim ferry
#

so you need fancy patches

#

if thats what you want to do

wild berry
#

yeah

#

is it possible to get the blind from the current choices

#

like

#

get the small and big blind

#

and modify their propreties

slim ferry
#

oh like

#

yeah theres like G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices i think?

#

but thats just 3 keys, you cant modify anything else about the blind before starting it besides what blind it is

wild berry
#

can i atleast get its position

#

like

#

is it in the place of the big blind or not

#

or

#

get their index

#

in the rounds

#

is there a hook i can add to check when a blind is selected

stiff locust
#

you can hook any context as a function

wild berry
#

how

#

Can someone let me know what went wrong?

not without seeing any code probably?

Hey I’m having an issue where stakes wont unlock for me (example playing purple stake to unlock orange and playing white stake to unlock black) does anyone have any tips or ideas to which file would handle this issue?

jolly shadow
wild berry
#

no like

#

their index

#

or wait

slim ferry
#

its Small, Big and Boss

#

they arent numbered

jolly shadow
#

ye

wild berry
#

oh

#

could i do something like this to prevent antes from increasing

image.png
jolly shadow
wild berry
#

so i should copy the code and add my check?

jolly shadow
#

no

# 
if context.modify_ante and context.ante_end then 
  local halt_ante = true -- set this to your condition for stopping the ante increase
  if halt_ante then return { modify = 0 } end 
end
wild berry
#

ahh ok

#

is G.GAME.blind still defined during context.ante_end?

jolly shadow
#

ye

#

took me a bit to find it

wild berry
jolly shadow
#

code i found was a little bit outdated so im adjusting the solution, one moment

#

set modify to -1

#

instead of 0

wild berry
#

ok

#

worked but

#

it still resets the blinds

#

is there any way to circumvent that?

jolly shadow
#

im not sure, went looking thru both balatro source & smods for a bit but cant seem to find an easy way to do so, still looking tho

any ideas why some of the rocks in a handful wouldn't score, despite being part of the poker hand?

maybe compare with the Cryptid Bulwark hand code

# 
        local stones = {}
        for i, card in ipairs(hand) do
            if card.config.center_key == "m_stone" or (card.config.center.no_rank and card.config.center.no_suit) then
                stones[#stones + 1] = card
            end
        end
        return #stones >= 5 and { stones } or {}
    end,```
mystic river
#

hmm
not all of these rock enhancements have always_score
i feel like that's related

#

cryptid doesn't need to handle anything for the bulwark, since vanilla stones do have that trait

lofty elm
#

hey gang, I've got something that adds a card to hand after the first hand is drawn, but it doesnt save or happen again if I leave and come back, anyone know why?

ripe oak
wild berry
ripe oak
#

then idk

lofty elm
#

I did yeah

#

didnt seem to make a difference :/

wild berry
#

are you calling it before making the card or after creating it?

lofty elm
#

well I'm not creating it im just drawing it out of the deck

#

but after

wild berry
#

show code

ripe oak
#

BTW while that's happening does anyone know how to reduce the reward money from blinds with a custom stake?

wild berry
#

set dollars to a lower value

#

the property

#

wait

#

custom stake??

jolly shadow
ripe oak
wild berry
#

its from some of my code

lofty elm
# 
  func = function()
  magnet_card = pseudorandom_element(most_changed,  pseudoseed('magnet'))
  draw_card(G.deck, G.hand, 100, nil, nil, magnet_card) 
  G.hand:sort()
  save_run()
  return true
  end
}))
wild berry
#

you can just do a math.max(0, blind.dollars - 1)

wild berry
#

try that

lofty elm
#

wont that run before the event though

#

i mean I can try it i suppose

#

didnt work unfortunately

ripe oak
# wild berry something like this

I'm mostly just wondering where to put that code to execute it like what to take ownership off or insert somewhere with lovely etc.

mystic river
wild berry
#

and check for the current stake

#

and if its the stake that you want

#

do the code snippet

lofty elm
#

is there maybe a context for reentering a run from the menu lol

#

since it doensn't redraw the cards my thing doesn't retrigger

#

and for some reason I cant save

ripe oak
lofty elm
#

I checked the list I usually look at and its not there but someone sent me one that isnt on that list once so idk

timid zinc
#

My deck's variables don't reset run-to-run

How do i get it to reset?

use a variable in G.GAME

#

self is the prototype object thats in G.P_CENTERS, changes to that are permanent

I'm so confused, I'm playing spot the difference between my code and vanilla remade code bc mine doesn't save the card it adds

My code:

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        magnet_card = pseudorandom_element(most_changed,  pseudoseed('magnet'))
        draw_card(G.deck, G.hand, 100, nil, nil, magnet_card) 
        magnet_card:juice_up(1, 1)
        G.hand:sort()
        SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = {magnet_card} })
        save_run()
        return true
    end
}))

From vanilla remade:

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        G.hand:emplace(_card)
        _card:start_materialize()
        G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(_card)
        G.hand:sort()
        if context.blueprint_card then
            context.blueprint_card:juice_up()
        else
            card:juice_up()
        end
        SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { _card } })
        save_run()
        return true
    end
}))```
#

I don't even want to do the calclulate context in mine bc im not even adding a card to my deck I just thought maybe that was the problem

#

maybe adding a card to your deck makes it save but drawing one doesn't?

ik lol, i didn't have it until I was banging my head agaisnt the wall tryna figure out what was different

it didnt do anything so its gonna die but i left it in in case someone else thought that

i dont think this would cause u not to save, theres gotta be something else in ur code that youre not showing

im not the greatest w/ debuggin stuff but i tried

take ownership of it, and then set weight to a value (default is 5), or also add a get_weight function if you want it to be dynamic instead of a static weight

hello, i'm trying to make a mod that changes the sprites for constellation and hologram using malverk, i tried to do it myself but i honestly can't wrap my head around how to start with that, could anyone here help me with that?

take ownership

and change atlas

slim ferry
#

dont?

#

theres a reason malverk exists

#

and its so you dont have to take ownership of stuff

so what should i do if you wouldn't mind? i tried looking it up and didn't really get anything back
which is why i came here to ask

slim ferry
#

have you asked in the malverk thread? idk many people here that use malverk much

didn't know that was a thing if im being honest

how can i move a card i created with add_card into the deck

#

because add_to_deck doesnt work for me

red flower
#

do you want to create it directly in the deck

wild berry
#

yes

red flower
#

add area = G.deck

wild berry
#

kty

red flower
#

add_to_deck doesnt add cards to the deck, it just runs functions when a card should be added to the players slots

#

add_card does that automatically

toxic rain
#

am still struggling with this, it looks fine in the collection but not during a run, its probably something simple but i do be stupid

red flower
#

oh its because it says xmult =

remove that

static valley
#

how do I make a joker with a sticker play a sound when it appears in the shop?

#

for context it's going to be a pre-owned sticker which will be used in a custom stake. Pre-Owned jokers will be cheaper, but slightly worse than their new counterparts (as in all of their values are multiplied by 0.75)

wasn't sure which return to change so i did both

red flower
#

i said remove, not change

#

also the bottom one was correct before

toxic rain
#

oh whoops, i may be stupid

#

so no return for the top one?

red flower
#

remove just the Return_mult =

toxic rain
#

got it

red flower
#

and you need to add vars too actually

#

return { vars = {1 + card.ability.extra.xmult * solo_tally}}

#

this

toxic rain
#

return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, 1 + card.ability.extra.xmult * solo_tally } } ?

i already have that line two rows down from the edited return, do i need it else where?

#

oh wait yeah this is diffrent

red flower
#

the bottom one is if G.playing_cards doesnt exist

toxic rain
#

ah ok, so i change the return to that?

red flower
#

the first one, yes

toxic rain
#

it works now, thanks 👍

context: there's a UI inconsistency with vanilla in smods where there's pages on the hands page when there shouldn't be with the vanilla 12 hands or less

now a page size of 12 doesn't really work because of space

what about getting a joker to change entire atlases mid-gameplay?

this single function is what's causing the sticker to collapse in on itself. the modifiers do work, but now for some reason it does this

#

fixed it

drowsy heath
#

okay so i have a weird question i just want to know if a feature i want to add is even possible, so i have a joker pool called coffee jokers which i have a consumable to give a random one but i specifically let it surpass the joker limit, once the joker limit has been met i want the consumable to give something called "spilled coffee" and they will be negative as to not disrupt the other jokers if you want to change synergy later but it will gain +1 mult for every extra of said card obtained, the others will not grant the mult so im thinking it will have to be 2 seperate jokers but i dont really know where to start with that, thats not what im here for though i will figure it out i just want to know if its even possible

#

well in simple terms is there a way to say if joker count is at 100% do this instead and if its over 100% then give this instead

#

well no i plan on making it negative so maybe an if joker is present in hand then give this

#

actually that sounds possible but i have no idea the code for it, ima go figure it out guess i helped myself

static valley
static valley
#

as for why, I think what happened is how my should_apply function works:

    should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
        -- only applies if the card has values that can be made worse
        return G.GAME.modifiers.enable_comedy_preowned and (card.ability ~= nil) and card.ability.extra
    end,
long sun
#

oooo nice ^U^

#

i managed to get it to work by patching set_eternal

drowsy heath
#

is there a way to check if joker slots are full ?

upbeat bronze
#

so i basically want this Joker to have a 25% chance of giving a meteor tag when blind is skipped, and a 75% chance of a Meteor Tag instead. As is, its only giving Orbital. Does anyone know how i'd fix that within the confines of JokerForge?

image.png
long sun
#

ability.eternal is true. why might i still able to sell the card?

bold gyro
#

why can't i properly set the rate of my custom sticker? i have rate = 0.3 but the sticker gets applied to all compatible jokers. also, i took ownership of the perishable and eternal stickers to change their should_apply function, and for some reason the same rate issue occurs???

#

is it a problem with bypass_reroll?

drowsy heath
#

how do i get a consumable to do something depending on different variables in the game

#

like if a joker limit has been reached then do this instead ?

#

because at the moment its doing both

frosty rampart
frosty rampart
drowsy heath
frosty rampart
#

what's your goal

drowsy heath
#

like what do i want it to do ?

frosty rampart
#

yes

drowsy heath
#

i want it to give me a random joker from a pool i st which is what this does until i reach the limit i want it to give me one spilled coffee joker then when it detects that i want it to instead give me overflow but right now its giving me spilled coffee + the first set and never giving me the overflow

frosty rampart
#

what you have right now is: always create a coffee1 joker. then, if your jokers are over the limit, create a spilled_coffee joker. then, if your jokers are over the limit and you have the card mm_joker36 (which will never be true, assuming that's supposed to be a joker key), create an overflow joker

if all that logic makes sense otherwise, you probably just need to change the joker key to j_mm_joker36

drowsy heath
#

ah thanks, what do i do to stop getting a coffee1 joker

#

as an if #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit then before thr first part crashes the game

frosty rampart
# 
if #G.jokers.cards <= G.jokers.config.card_limit then
  -- add a coffee1 joker
else
  -- add a spilled coffee joker and maybe an overflow joker
end

if that still crashes, show the crash log
also use SMODS.add_card, it does the whole card = create_card(); card:add_to_deck(); G.jokers:emplace(card) thing for you

drowsy heath
#

okay i will try this

#

that worked for stopping the creation of coffee 1 after the limit has been reached but i still am not getting overflow after i have a spilled coffee in hand

joker 36 is spilled coffee it has its own pool so it worked, i dont exactly know why but once i defined the joker having its own pool the code worked fine

#

so would i be able to replace j_mm_joker36 with spilled_coffee so it checks the pool instead ?

how do i fix this?

ok instead of that put the event in the place save_run was originally

oh like nest them?

yes

lofty elm

ill try that

you want that event to be after the event draw_card does

lofty elm

goot it that seems promising

#

tho i still dont know how vanilla remades would work

red flower
#

because vanillaremade doesn't use draw_card there

#

draw_card specifically uses an event

omigosh ty it worked

huh, I did try using emplace and it didnt work either

idk lol it works now tysm

purpose: retriggers face cards in played hand by how many cards are played.

this is how i do it?

-# How do I add a cardarea to UI?

lavish elm
#

how a custom game over dialogue that activates when a certain joker is in your hand

red flower
real crown
#

I'm working on a Joker that "eats" a card if it's the first hand of the round and there's only one card, then gives all eaten card back when destroyed or sold. Logically I don't see why this wouldn't work, but in practice it seems broken, and a weird draggable card stays on the screen instead of disappearing when playing a 1 card hand

image.png
red flower
#

you can't save cards to a card's ability table anyway

#

it will not reload properly

#

i would recommend storing these cards in a hidden cardarea

real crown
#

Is there some sort of a modded or non-modded Joker that does something similar, so I can have a reference? Never worked with hidden cardareas

slim ferry
#

entropy butterfly deck stores cards in a hidden cardarea, you could try looking at that

real crown
#

Thank you!

violet void
# real crown Is there some sort of a modded or non-modded Joker that does something similar, ...

If you want you can put the cardarea above the Joker's card area so when you "eat" the card you move it towards the Joker who ate it and then it goes offscreen

this is my lovely patch for the cardarea if you want to take a look

# real crown Thank you so much, that's really helpful! And it would be great visually to have...

Oh and also

local original_draw_card = draw_card
function draw_card(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
  if card and card.cs_stolen then
    return original_draw_card(from, G.cs_stack, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
  end

  return original_draw_card(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
end

This is the hook that precedes draw_card. If you don't know what a hook is, it lets you run something either before or after the original function call

If the card is eaten (for me, I am using stolen because I'm stealing it but it's the same behaviour) then instead of going to the right it's placed into the hidden cardarea

You can set a similar flag in your Joker's calculations for your card (is_eaten) and check for that instead
