main.lua:1970: [SMODS wath_mod "jokers.lua"]:235: attempt to index field 'wath_mod_rainbow_joker' (a nil value)

#

is this a syntax error

red flower
#

no

#

thats the value being nil

lunar urchin
#

im getting a simular crash "game.lua:1432 attempt to index global 'pokermon_config' [a nil value]

#

can someone help?

red flower
#

this is probably your pokermon folder being nested

lunar urchin
#

what does that mean?

red flower
viscid talon
#

idk what that means

red flower
#

what part

iron breach
red flower
#

oh

#

are you calling reset_wath_mod_rainbow_joker anywhere

iron breach
#

i basically just copied the ancient joker code and edited the effect so i think it has to be a syntax error i made while modifying it

#

i have tried like 3 different ways to manually set wath_mod_rainbow_joker but it still says it's a nil value

red flower
#

can you show me your current code including reset_game_globals

iron breach
red flower
#

can i see reset_game_globals too

#

also this is not what i meant, i meant using the local suit line in calculate

red flower
#

did you read the comment on vanillaremade..

iron breach
#

i see

red flower
iron breach
#

still not working even after adding the global reset script

tight pumice
#

If I want to check for the presence of a specific modded joker, can I check for the key “prefix_jokerkey” or does that not work

red flower

Missing the j, got it

#

I’m taking ownership of the blue seal to modify it, part of what I want to do involves making it not perform its usual function but it seems like overriding the calculate function just adds to it rather than replacing it. Is there a way for me to modify its usual calculate function?

mystic river
#

normally I'd say change its internal name (not key)
but i think seals are an exception to that piece of vanilla logic

red flower
tight pumice
#

I was worried that might be the case, I think I approached my implementation from a bad starting point

red flower
#

no that makes sense

#

its just that this is something missing in smods

tight pumice
#

Basically I’m making a guy that makes it so blue seals give negative planets

#

I implemented it by taking ownership of the blue seal, but since I’m not replacing the calculate but adding to it, they just end up making the negative planet as well as the normal planet

red flower
#

you can hook create_card and check if it uses seed blusl :3

tight pumice
#

Interesting may

#

Okay*

#

So the card creation knows that it’s coming from a blue seal

red flower
#

yes

tight pumice
#

Sounds like I can skip taking ownership entirely which is probably the best practice

red flower
#

i would say take ownership is usually best practice

#

this is just easier and take ownership is janky in this case exactly

tight pumice
#

Good to know moving forward, this was my first time using take ownership so I wasn’t really sure what the limits were

red flower
#

in theory smods should unhardcode this to make take ownership work properly

candid arch

#

also i wanted to ask what SEALS was in this context? i know its related to the mod, but i dont know what i would replace it with if i put it in my code.

image.png
mystic river
#

global table that seals on everything stores stuff in, such as those functions

# 
SEALS = {
 get_ids = function()
 -- this is SEALS.get_ids
 end
}
tight pumice
#

Trying to figure out how to hook SMODS.add_card for the blue seal thing but struggling to find documentation for add_card and how to access stuff like the seed thing to detect if the card was created by a blue seal

red flower
#

the seed is the key append

image.png
harsh belfry
#

yeah add_card is a utility function for modders

#

the game itself doesn't use it

tight pumice
#

The key thing should be all I’m missing then

#

the key is “blusl”?

harsh belfry
tight pumice
#

Yeah I mean key append

#

Trying to do it like this

image.png
#

First time doing any sort of hook thing so I could easily be going about it wrong

#

Is there a specific location I should be putting the hook?

slim ferry
#

you should probably be hooking create_card

#

idk if key_append is stored after

tight pumice
#

I couldn't find that one, is it not under Card

slim ferry
#

no

#

because it isnt a method

#

its just a global

tight pumice
#

I see

#

Alright let me try that

#

How I tried to implement it

image.png
#

Somehow, all it managed to do is make it so blue seals give random planets when the joker is present

#

I managed to code my way into making a joker that reverts blue seals to their prebuff state

#

Oh ignore this I already see an issue

red flower
#

i see several issues

# 
local create_card_ref = create_card
function create_card(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append)
  local card = create_card_ref(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append)
  if next(SMODS.find_card("key")) and key_append == "blusl" then
    card:set_edition("e_negative")
  end
  return card
end
tight pumice
#

Yeah it's making more sense. I am very very curious on how exactly whatever I did the first time led to the blue seals acting that way

red flower
#

because you removed all the arguments

#

specifically forced_key where the planet key is passed

candid arch
tight pumice
#

Can't get the key_append to work, figuring out through debug prints that it isn't working but the joker check is. Tried "key_append == "bluesl"" and "card.key_append == "bluesl"" Simple mistype

candid arch
mystic river
#

i mean yes, you would need to actually copy the code to get a copy of the code

candid arch
#

ughghhfghfj maybe i shouldnt bother

#

i dont understand any of this code

tight pumice
#

I stop coding for a month and all of a sudden it's like I'm relearning how to speak English

candid arch
#

🙂‍↕️

tight pumice
#

I need to make some more jokers and get the gears turning again

#

Thanks for the help the negative planet joker works now, hopefully now I can properly hook things in the future when it comes up

brisk tree
#

is there a way to check if your last action was either playing a hand or a discard?

#

Should be very easy to code but wanted to know if that already exists somewhere so I don't repeat code

long sun
#

is there a better way of doing this? this also doesn't work if any +mult comes after it

image.png
#

this is trying to balance by a %

#

[i can't find what AiJ does because it uses a custom return]

red flower
red flower
#

git

long sun
#

i could to be fair

#

was wondering if there was an undocumented SMODS thing mostly

red flower
#

not for this no

brisk tree
#

I just did this, even if it's very dirty

image.png
#

Also is saving anything in G going to cause issues other than possibly causing issues with other mods?

red flower
#

that's how i would do it

primal robin
#

afaik you can return balanced = true or smth like this to o plasma deck effect

red flower
red flower
brisk tree
red flower
#

it's like a custom plasma

mystic river
red flower
primal robin
#

I thought it does support number value for balanced

mystic river
#

I'll check but i don't think so

primal robin
#

no it itsnt, hm

#

implement number in it shouldnt be much effort right

red flower
#

i dont think so

mystic river
#

relatively, yeah, should be easy

#

the main thing you'd have to do is
decide what it would mean to balance over 100%

primal robin
#

maybe just clamp it in 0 < n < 100

#

maybe optionally allow -100 < n < 100

#

This kind of effect present in mp challenge

#

Where balance actually destabilize

hushed briar
#

anyone know of a mod that extends SMODS.Center or similar that i can look at as reference?

#

From the key of a blind, how can I access to the blind itself? Like say I have bl_club and I want to know if this blind is a showdown boss or not (most likely by checking blind.boss.showdown, but the problem is getting the blind object)

K new question
I want to add a keybind to my mod but I want the user to be able to change the key. How do I do that in my config menu? I know Handy has keybinds that we can change but the code it all over the place I don't understand shit 💀 and i don't know any other mod that lets you change keybinds

#

after that i just set key_pressed = SMODS.current_mod.config.key in the SMODS.Keybind, but i need a config menu for that to begin with

dapper sun
#

anyone know why the contents of G.GAME.elle_popup_shops[shop].data aren't saving?

-- Init game hook - initialize game variables
local igo_hook = Game.init_game_object
function Game:init_game_object()
    local g = igo_hook(self)
    
    -- Add shops here
    g.elle_popup_shops = {
        -- Rebecca Shop
        rebecca = {
            default_reroll = 4, -- Reroll cost when shop resets
            reroll = 4, -- Actual reroll cost
            reroll_cost = 2, -- Cost increase amount
            reset_on_open = true,
            data = {}, -- This isn't saving for some reason???
            first_open=true
        },
        
        -- [[BIG SHOP]]
        spamton = {
            reset_on_open = true,
            default_reroll = 4, -- Reroll cost when shop resets
            reroll = 4, -- Actual reroll cost
            reroll_cost = 2, -- Cost increase amount
            data = {},
            first_open=true
        }
    }
    return g
end```for context, it's a table that contains tables that contain `:save`d cards
#

_ _ i'm going out for a few days, i'll worry abt this once i get back

daring fern
rigid solar
#

yeah true

#

still have to make a config menu for that tho and idk how 💀

daring fern
dapper sun
#

i'm doing the same thing that i was doing before i refactored the code to fit multiple shops

#

and it was working fine before

#

i know it's going into the table just fine bc the contents persist when closing and opening the shop

#

it only disappears when exiting the run and going back in

#

but other things like the reroll cost persist

how do i get a hands current mult?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
            mult = mod_mult(math.max(math.floor(mult * 0.5 + 0.5), 1))
            hand_chips = mod_chips(math.max(math.floor(hand_chips * 0.5 + 0.5), 0))
            update_hand_text({ sound = 'chips2', modded = true }, { chips = hand_chips, mult = mult })
        end
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {

            }
        end

question: how do i stop this from unflipping the card when selecting it

        if card.facing == 'front' and context.cardarea ~= G.play then card:flip() end
        if card.facing == 'back' and context.cardarea == G.play then card:flip() end
        if card.facing == 'front' and context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then card:flip() end
mystic river
#

change the second if to an elseif

#

what's happening is the first if flips the card, then the second one checks its facing, it's facedown, and it flips it

Is there a function similar to SMODS.merge_lists but instead of making a list of cards that are in EITHER of the lists, it makes a list of cards that are in BOTH lists?

in my mod, my code basically just iterates through all the cards and changes them after instantiation

#

dunno if that’s standard or even the best way of doing it, but oh well

#

here’s my code for a mult deck:


SMODS.Back {
    key = "multDeck",
    atlas = "Deck",
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Mult Deck",
        text = {"{C:MULT}+4{} mult", "Added cards also get changed"}
    },
    apply = function(self)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function(self)
                for _, _card in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                    _card:set_ability('m_mult')
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.playing_card_added then
            for _, _card in pairs(context.cards) do
                _card:set_ability('m_mult')
            end
        end

im trying to make a joker that's supposed to give scored cards a seal but it only applies to one card per scored hand when i debug

Ah
Well im trying to make it based on a 1 in 5 chance for every card, so is there any way to do that?

red flower
#

don't return in the loop

#

if you want a message for each card then you can use SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('k_burn'),colour = G.C.SUITS.Hearts}, card) but it needs to be in an event for the correct timing

Do modded hands like Spectra get stored in evaluate_poker_hand(), or is there somewhere else where they all end up while a hand is calculated?

the crash was from me calling the config table "ability"

# red flower that's in `G.handlist`

I mean that, say, a Straight Flush or a Straight Spectrum would be bumped down to a Straight, a Full House to a Two Pair, and a High Card would go unaffected.

And how do I call that context from within a patch that's not within the SMODS.Blind{} code?

why are you doing it in a patch

So it happens 'fore any other hand-scoring calculation is done.

I've got a joker that's supposed to disable the boss if the first discard of the round is a single card with a seal, but when the ability is triggered the game crashes.

im trying to patch this line in better_calc.toml in smods:

if SMODS.has_enhancement(scoring_hand[i], 'm_glass') and scoring_hand[i]:can_calculate() and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(scoring_hand[i], 'glass', 1, scoring_hand[i].ability.name == 'Glass Card' and scoring_hand[i].ability.extra or G.P_CENTERS.m_glass.config.extra) then

i have this in my toml file:

pattern = "if SMODS.has_enhancement(scoring_hand[i], 'm_glass') and scoring_hand[i]:can_calculate() and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(scoring_hand[i], 'glass', 1, scoring_hand[i].ability.name == 'Glass Card' and scoring_hand[i].ability.extra or G.P_CENTERS.m_glass.config.extra) then"

but then it says in the log:

WARN - [♥] Pattern 'if SMODS.has_enhancement(scoring_hand[i], \'m_glass\') and scoring_hand[i]:can_calculate() and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(scoring_hand[i], \'glass\', 1, scoring_hand[i].ability.name == \'Glass Card\' and scoring_hand[i].ability.extra or G.P_CENTERS.m_glass.config.extra) then' on target 'functions/state_events.lua' for pattern patch from Cryptid\lovely\Probability.toml resulted in no matches

What is going on here??

red flower
#

also i think glass cards are taken ownership of

#

yeah i dont see that smods patch apply in my dump

ashen adder
red flower
#

yeah no the issue is what i just said

#

what's the goal here

ashen adder
#

im trying to fix the cryptid's glass stake

#

so in glass stake it should treat every card like glass so it can break but with just lower probability

red flower
#

well no idea how cryptid does it but that's the destroy code i just linked

ashen adder
#

oh i see

#

so i should patch it instead?

red flower
#

you can yes, or take ownership of it

#

what's the issue with the stake

ashen adder
#

well, in the toml file it just references the outdated smods line

slim ferry
#

It gives a chance for cards to break after scoring right?

ashen adder
#

and also i think it just hasnt been updated to the newest smods probability thingy

ashen adder
red flower
#

oh i see the code

slim ferry
#

Im pretty sure it could just use stake calculate now that thats a thing

#

If the goal is just to destroy cards

red flower
#

targeting glass cards is not going to work

red flower
ashen adder
slim ferry
#

And to force cards to shatter you could set a flag on the card right before destroying and check for that in a hook to whatever smods function checks if a card should shatter

red flower
#

Card:shatters

#

if it's a stake you can just set it to always true for the stake

slim ferry
#

Well then it would also affect card destruction that isnt from the stake

red flower
red flower
ashen adder
#

ughhh bruuuh i see
and here i was thinking that it would be an easy fix 🥲

#

well thanks anyway guys <3

red flower
#

it's not hard, give me a sec

from reading the code i assume only playing cards are destroyed right?

ashen adder
ashen adder
red flower
# ashen adder i mean yea its prob not super hard but its late tho so i think imma just go to s...

something like this

local glass = {
    object_type = "Stake",
    name = "cry-Glass Stake",
    key = "glass",
    pos = { x = 2, y = 2 },
    atlas = "stake",
    applied_stakes = { "cry_ruby" },
    modifiers = function()
        G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate = 30
    end,
    shiny = true,
    order = 21,
    colour = HEX("ffffff8f"),
    calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate
            and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(self, 'cry_shatter', 1, G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate) and not SMODS.is_eternal(context.destroy_card) then
            card.cry_glass_trigger = true
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end
}

local smods_shatters_ref = SMODS.shatters
function SMODS.shatters(card)
    return card.cry_glass_trigger or smods_shatters_ref(card)
end
ashen adder
red flower
#

you could make this more global by moving the calculate to SMODS.current_mod.calculate if other things use that modifier in the future

ashen adder
#

also, speaking of broken cryptid stakes there's azure stake, which is supposed to take away 20% off of joker values but it uses cryptid's misprintize lib and upon the first look it wasn't really obvious to me what went wrong there so i just kinda gave up on it for now 🫠

red flower
#

oh dont ask me about misprintize i refuse to deal with that

ashen adder
red flower
#

my jokers stay with their values intact as Thunk intended

slim ferry
ashen adder
slim ferry
#

I mean i dont see any issues with it

#

Card.set_ability is the same function that sets all the base values

#

So thats the perfect place to apply the azure stake modifier

ashen adder
#

huh alright i'll look into it ig, thanks

#

i just didn't even really look that deep into it i kinda just skimmed through it, trying to understand

This isn't reevaluating the played hand like I want it to. Whenever I select/deselect a card, the innermost code-block activates, but I want it to only kick in when the hand is played. What do I do?

    local forbidden_hands = {'High Card', 'None'}
    
    for i = 1, #G.handlist do
        current_hand = G.handlist[i]
        if #table_of_hands[current_hand] > 0 then
            number_of_decreases = number_of_decreases + 1
            final_product = current_hand
            if number_of_decreases >= allotted_decreases then
                return final_product
            end
        end
    end
    
    return final_product or (forbidden_hands[1] or 'High Card')
end

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if not blind.disabled then
        if context.evaluate_poker_hand then
            blind.triggered = true
            blind:wiggle()

Is it possible to add a dummy playing card that doesn't show up in the UI, only for calculation purposes?
I want to do a calcaulation for a tarot card without making my code super redundant, and I feel like having a dummy card be created for the purpose of it sounds like a decent option.

image.png
#

What's going on in the code:

  • A copy of the selected card is created and its suit is changed into... say a spade.
  • The selected card is "merged" with the dummy card, to keep consistency with the rest of my code.
  • The dummy card is deleted

I plan on having all this behind the scenes so the dummy card doesn't actually.. exist when playing.

There's probably a better way of doing this, but I don't know how.

Kind of. Just something behind the scenes that doesn't have card randomly appear out of nowhere, if that makes sense

Ah. alright cause I remember seeing sometinhg like that is that someone on reddit made a concept of third tier vouchers that somehow the art looked like mixels and well not fit for balatro style which I ended up remaking those into the faithful balatro style or if the art of the third vouchers would look like if they are in balatro: #🎨・fan-art message

#

but honestly glad to know that you made the art and you're improving it

#

cause I thought when I saw the mixels I thought you got it from a reddit post that had those mixels

#

so anyways, good job!

# daring fern It doesn't include retriggers.

I mean at this point I'm just looking at the Joker-Section from "state_events.lua" -> "evaluate_play" in my Lovely-Dump
Best thing you could do is to grab that section and rewrite it for one Joker and put that into a function
I'm currently testing it a bit and that approach seems to work fine.. I kinda can't help any further than that, sorry :/

# wild berry how can i make a proper cardarea

Try adding something like this to your start_run override, doesnt do much without any supporting functions but it gets you a place you can emplace cards into

alright so i have this code here in the glass stake and the problem is
that the probability procs way too much than it should and also
sometimes the glass break effect happens and sometimes just the regular card destroy effect

calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate then
            for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
                if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(self, 'cry_shatter', 1, G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate) and not SMODS.is_eternal(context.destroy_card) then
                    G.play.cards[i].cry_glass_trigger = true
                    return { remove = true }
                end
            end
        end
    end,

local smods_shatters_ref = SMODS.shatters
function SMODS.shatters(card)
    return card.cry_glass_trigger or smods_shatters_ref(card)
end

^code in the override file

#

anyone have any ideas?

slim ferry
#

you shouldnt be doing a for loop

#

context.destroy_card already happens individually for each card

spiral mural
ashen adder
# slim ferry you shouldnt be doing a for loop

i see
i just didnt understand how to then reference the card because
in the original code that 'N wrote:

local glass = {
    object_type = "Stake",
    name = "cry-Glass Stake",
    key = "glass",
    pos = { x = 2, y = 2 },
    atlas = "stake",
    applied_stakes = { "cry_ruby" },
    modifiers = function()
        G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate = 30
    end,
    shiny = true,
    order = 21,
    colour = HEX("ffffff8f"),
    calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate
            and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(self, 'cry_shatter', 1, G.GAME.modifiers.cry_shatter_rate) and not SMODS.is_eternal(context.destroy_card) then
            card.cry_glass_trigger = true
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end
}

local smods_shatters_ref = SMODS.shatters
function SMODS.shatters(card)
    return card.cry_glass_trigger or smods_shatters_ref(card)
end

theres a problem that "card" is a nil reference

slim ferry
#

yeah it should be context.destroy_card.cry_glass_trigger

G.localization.descriptions.Trinket is nil

if you're using localization files, it's easy to add entries like this:

descriptions = {
    Trinket = {
        trk_CJMod_gold = {
            name = "Reddit Gold",
            text = {
                "{C:money}+#1#{} blind payout",
            },
        },
    },
},

however, if you insist on using loc_txt field on each of your object, then the following snippet is needed:

SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text = function()
    G.localization.descriptions.Trinket = {}
end

this code is trying to get the chips from a card that was retriggered and add them to a joker. i'm using a custom context that was patched in (seen in 2nd image) but it doesn't trigger when in an if statement with context.individual. how do i get this to work?

image.png image.png
candid arch
spiral mural
chrome widget
#

I have code on both sides that's meant to replace the value of the slider or text input when one is changed. The slider example is here:

image.png
#

But often times when I do this replacement, the cursor/input position gets dealigned in the process (if the change changes the number of active digits in the ref value), which then results in, say, selecting the text input and only being able to change the second digit

#

And before I added a thing to set a minimum number of letters in the text input, it was even worse, because sometimes it wouldn't let me tab all the way to the right because the ref value was two digits and it clamps the position to the length of the ref value

#

I have a full helper function I made specifically to try to do this as basically "change the value and then call transpose" but even it seems faulty

i don't know if thats being retriggered

frosty rampart

it might be helpful for post trigger stuff I think

harsh belfry
#

true

frosty rampart
#

like context.post_trigger might not fire if the calculate doesn't return

harsh belfry
#

depends on if you want things to be able to posttrigger on your calculate

wintry solar

I don’t think mod calc functions can be retriggered or post triggered

how do i get the chip value from a card that was retriggered? im hooking into insert_repetitions to try and find the card that retriggered, and then get the chip value from it.

right now im testing it by printing the card's chip value, and it does it when patching it but NOT when hooking it fsr

is there something i'm doing wrong?

so im hooking SMODS.insert_repetitions to try and get the chip value of a retriggered card, but this only seems to work when the card is retriggered by a red seal, NOT when a joker (sock, hack, etc.) retriggers it!

#

i know this because ive been printing the chip value in the original function and it only returns a non-zero value when retriggered by red seals

basically if i discard a card in the final_scoring_step then hooking G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard to draw it to hand makes it draw the cards face down

despite specifying "up" in the draw carsd call

i copied this almost 1-1 from the vanillaremade strength tarot code

except i removed the deselect function at the end and changed the select context to scoring_hand

red flower
#

does that affect my answer

candid arch
#

seems like it'd affect this pretty majorly in ways i dont understand

#

ill give it a shot though

red flower
#

well i do understand

candid arch
#

i trust you

red flower
#

it will fuck up the animation tho

candid arch
#

should i remove all the events from this code

candid arch
red flower
#

just the modify rank one for now

candid arch
#

thats what i was worried about ^^"

red flower
#

if there's a way to do the animation it will be by delaying the sprite change rather than using an event, but i don't know if there's functionality for that at the moment

candid arch
#

that's unfortunate

red flower
#

ok it's not documented but modify_rank has a way to delay the sprites it seems

candid arch
#

ooh really?

#

how so

red flower
#

the third argument has to be true, but i dont know if it does it automatically or you need to change the sprite manually

candid arch
#

looks like it

image.png
#

how do you manually change the sprites?

red flower
#

playing_card:set_sprites(nil, playing_card) it looks like

#

you would put that in the event

candid arch
#

oh awesome, thank you!

#

what argument do you put in nil?

red flower
#

nil

candid arch
#

weird

#

lemme give it a try

red flower
#

playing_card:set_sprites(nil, G.P_CARDS[playing_card.config.card_key]) maybe

candid arch
#

like this?

image.png
red flower
#

yes but you shouldn't use context in an event

#

save it to a local variable beforehand

candid arch
#

oh like in the set_sprites() function?

red flower
#

all of the context.scoring_hand[i] inside the event

candid arch
#

it's like that in vanillaremade

red flower
#

there's no context in tarots

#

so no

candid arch
#

fair enough

#

what does config.card_key refer to

red flower
#

it's the key for the card as rank_suit

loc_vars is called whenever you hover a card to show its description, and that's not how SMODS.scale_card is supposed to be used I believe

spiral mural
#

not even the full system

#

just the modifying part

gilded blaze
#

you're also passing a non-Card object

#

in this case an empty table

spiral mural
#

it also breaks if i pass card if i remember

#

yup

gilded blaze
#

SMODS.scale_card is a lot more complicated than you think

spiral mural
#

well i need to predict what it does

spiral mural
#

i see nothing that should fall apart and crumble

gilded blaze
#

that's what I meant

#

looking at SMODS.scale_card alone isn't enough to understand the problem

spiral mural
#

local ret = obj:calc_scaling(_card, card, initial, scalar_value, args)

#

is like the one place i can see causing a problem

#

mostly because its the one place actually using card

gilded blaze
#

see?

spiral mural
#

besides args.ref_table = args.ref_table or card.ability.extra

#

also the scaling message thing

gilded blaze
#

a card is still needed to display attention text

spiral mural
#

the real question is why it runs correctly the first time

#

then fucks up

gilded blaze
#

what are you trying to do exactly

spiral mural
#

the card seemly poisons the well affter being displayed

spiral mural
#

for the player of course

#

payout is ran after scaling

#

golden joker if it was awesome

#

you probably don't need 40% of this 🪱

gilded blaze
#

uh

#

so the joker scales on hover

#

I'm still confused

spiral mural
#

not really

#

fake_table

#

the table shows the present's future

gilded blaze
#

ah

spiral mural
#

well its supposed to be altered to show it

gilded blaze
#

you want this joker to show the proper future value when a calc_scaling joker is present

spiral mural
#

yea

#

which my mod has one

#

and other mods too probably

gilded blaze
#

what breaks here

spiral mural
#

i tested it

#

after hovering over it

#

all calc_scaling breaks

#

or perhaps

#

the calc_scaling on the joker breaks

gilded blaze
#

in what way

#

unexpected value?

spiral mural
#

no return value

#

presumely

#

i would have to do a smods patch to really see what's going on

# 
    calc_scaling = function(self, card, other_card, initial_value, scalar_value, args)
        if scalar_value > 0 and not args.dont_repeat then
            return {
                override_scalar_value = { -- this will override the scalar_value
                    value = scalar_value*2, -- set the scalar_value to X
                    -- other calculation return keys accepted here, timing is before the scaling event
                },
            }
        end
    end
#

this is the calc_scaling im testing with

#

the args.dont_repeat is from old code

#

doens't hurt nobody

gilded blaze
#

tbh I have never used calc_scaling

#

not all mods need one, for balancing purposes of course

spiral mural
#

calc_scaling could be getting overwritten

gilded blaze
#

no return value huh

#

so it shows nil at where the future value is supposed to be

spiral mural
#

no i added

#

prints in

#

prints just

#

is there any alternatives for a while true?

what's the goal exactly

eliminate repeats from a random picker so i don't have to use a giant list full of every individual valid card number

how do i automatically debuff jokers if they're to the left of a specific joker (and rebuff them when they aren't to the left of that joker)?

#

currently the code doesn't automatically make the jokers to the left of the joker debuffed, and it takes two hands (1 to make them visually debuff, and 2 to show the debuffed jokers don't trigger)

#

how can i make them debuff and undebuff automatically depending on their position to the eldritch joker?

candid arch
#

is there a context that triggers constantly whenever the game is active that makes this work?

wind steppe
#

not a context but look into the update function

#

SMODS.Joker

i know this is unrelated but what did jimbo do to deserve that 😭

i think messing with update() broke the entire game

#

i was trying to debuff jokers to the left of the eldritch, and undebuff jokers to the right of it

#

in real time

#

is there a simpler/less jannk way to do this xD

wind steppe
#

hook Card:stop_drag maybe?

candid arch
#

does that do what it sounds like it does

#

in my head i wanted this joker to function as an easy way to debuff whichever jokers you needed at a certain time

#

so if you arent able to drag it i feel like that takes some of that purpose away

chrome widget
#

Tbh I would suggest doing this with something that updates only when the joker's position updates

candid arch
#

oh?

chrome widget
#

Because SMODS.debuff_card sets a permanent flag

wind steppe
chrome widget
#

So you don't need to do it every frame

candid arch

ohhhhh

I'm trying to make a joker that removes the effect of Steel Cards so they don't give their mult, I'm assuming it would use the take_ownership function but I'm not sure what to do to get rid of an effect

did what I say break a rule?

candid arch
#

nah there was a scam account

short fulcrum
#

ah I didn't see that

mystic river
#

they get deleted very fast

candid arch
#

is there a context or flag or something for whenever a run is opened (including continuing a run)?

mystic river
#

i don't believe there's a context

#

you can give an item a load() function though

short fulcrum
#

I know Throwback has something like that as an unlock condition maybe? I'd assume so at least

#

but I don't know that much

mystic river
#

depending on what you want it to interact with, you might have to put the result in an event so that the thing loads first

candid arch
#

i havent used it before

mystic river
#

it runs when the game is loaded

candid arch
#

oh good!

candid arch
mystic river
candid arch
#

that check_jokers_left_of_eldritch function is in main.lua

image.png
mystic river
#

okay so. you only need to put it in an event if you want it to interact with something that hasn't loaded yet

candid arch
#

ahh whoops

#

^^"

mystic river
#

the event would start by returning false if the thing hasn't loaded yet

#

that way it would wait until the thing loads

candid arch
#

do all of the jokers load at the same time

mystic river
#

no idea

#

try it and see

candid arch
#

ahh by taking the check_jokers_left_of_eldritch() out of the event?

#

lemme try

#

yeah that broke it jfdsk

#

it actually DID work when it was in the event which is nice

what is the correct way of writing this apply function to call SMODS.change_play_limit() and increase the play limit from default to 14?

    key = "mahjong_red",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { discards = 1},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.discards } }
    end,
    apply = function(self, back)
        G.GAME.SMODS.change_play_limit(9)
    end
}```

#

might need to fix this```lua
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
if i > 1 then
Cryptid.manipulate(G.jokers.cards[i+1], { value = card.ability.extra.vm })
SMODS.calculate_effect({ message = "X" ..card.ability.extra.vm, colour = G.C.FILTER, instant = true}, card)
end
if i < #G.jokers.cards then
Cryptid.manipulate(G.jokers.cards[i-1], { value = card.ability.extra.vm })
SMODS.calculate_effect({ message = "X".. card.ability.extra.vm, colour = G.C.FILTER, instant = true}, card)
end
end
end

random basin
#

how would I add cards to G.playing_cards in the event function?

#

similar to the checkered deck code but instead of swapping suits adding extra copies of each card and some other cards

#

unless G.playing_cards is a table and I can just directly append to it but that doesn't seem right

I'm trying to make steel cards not give mult when a specific joker (mechsupport) is owned, I've got this code for that but they're still giving mult regardless. I have kind of frankensteined the code together so maybe there's just something I'm missing?

SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('m_steel',
    {
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            if not ((function()
                for i, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                    if v.config.center.key == "j_mysingingjokers_mechsupport" then
                        return true
                    end
                end
            end)()) then
                return { vars = { card.ability.h_x_mult } }
            end
        end
    },
    true
)

Hey, quick question for anyone... I want to start building a mod that introduces a joker that increases the playable hand size from 5 to 6. (This would introduce the concept of having 6 of a kind, flush 6, and split houses which I'd implement later) However I'm struggling to find what file actually controls that aspect of the game. It has to exist somewhere but I just don't know where to look, or if it's even accessible. Any ideas?

Working with tags and I have a system in place for tags that have different kinds of effects (postive, negative, etc) and I'm trying to create a consumable that can remove a specific group of tags. In this case, negative (or bad). The removal works just fine, but I'm having trouble setting the can_use of the consumable to work when you have any negative tags. This is what I have currently.

    can_use = function(self, card)
        for i = 1, #G.GAME.tags do
            if G.GAME.tags[i].config.tag.kind == 'negative' then
                return true
            end
        end

oof

whats up

harsh belfry
#

don't do that in the update loop at all

#

i don't know if you need to wait for loading

#

but doing it in the update loop fucks internal state

#

SMODS.current_mod changes for each mod

..really???

dang

update isn't even a function you can hook
