[red flower]

your booster key doesn't have it

[narrow prawn]

still happens

[red flower]

can you post the full log

[red flower]

oh also remove the math.random thing

your booster also doesn't have that

it's a vanilla thing with the multiple artworks

[red flower]

yeah it's this

[narrow prawn]

i figured it out

it was because i capitalised the P

[red flower]

oh yeah i didn't notice that lmao

[narrow prawn]

finally works now

[red flower]

just to make sure, you know the description can have multiple boxes, right?

[narrow prawn]

they can?

oh

how

[slate turtle]

POLTERWORX manages tetration right

[whole lava]

how can i hide the pokerhands?

[red flower]

text = {
 { "box1" },
 { "box2" }
}

[narrow prawn]

oh

[red flower]

your own or from vanilla/other mods

[narrow prawn]

that simple

[red flower]

amulet

[whole lava]

the vanilla one

[slate turtle]

long story short i plan adding tetration to my mod (but not stupidly overpowered just. balanced.)

[red flower]

hook SMODS.is_pokerhand_visible

poker_hand?

i dont remember

[red flower]

yeah use amulet

there's an explanation on higher operations in vanillaremade

[slate turtle]

question cant i just steal the tetrationmult/chips calculation from amulet and add it to my own mod

[red flower]

even if you did it wouldn't make sense without higher number limits

amulet is fine to depend on since the most popular mods require it

[whole lava]

ok thanks:))

[slate turtle]

got polterworx to see how it manages tetration

AND WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING IN 1 .LYA

WHY IS IT DOING THTA

[red flower]

polterworx uses amulet lmao

i love when people ignore me

[slate turtle]

i know

but WHY IS IT IN 1 LUA

WHY IS IT IN ONE SINGULAR .LUA

[fading rivet]

because lua is annoying

[red flower]

idk jen things

[fading rivet]

oh nvm

I though you where referring to 1 index

anyway ctrl f my beloved

[red flower]

they ran into the local variable limit that was funny

some other old mods are also one file like cardsleeves

[slate turtle]

ig i'm taking the tetrationmult function from Amulet

[whole lava]

wth am i doing....

[versed swan]

As N said, Jen's preference - supposed to change in the upcoming v1.0.0 update whenever it comes out

[dapper sun]

although i understand the concept of personal preference, sometimes some things are just wrong

[versed swan]

Yeah no I had a heart attack the first time I saw it

[slim ferry]

hit the local variable limit btw

[versed swan]

no shade just thought this was funny

[tepid crow]

lmfao

[tepid crow]

Ey yo

[knotty wren]

Hiii, is there a way to trigger a joker everytime a listed probability happens? (ie. 20mult on lucky card, broken glass, tarot from 8ball, 1.5x on bloodstone etc)

[tepid crow]

You should be able to use context.pseudorandom_result? https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#contextpseudorandom_result

[knotty wren]

should be context.result?

[tepid crow]

That's what you'd check if the probability succeeded, you'd use pseudorandom_result to see if it happened at all (otherwise you might accidentally trigger your joker on other contexts that use .result)

(though I don't think there's one, it's a good habit to get into)

[slim ferry]

the issue is more if you check for not context.result

because thats like everything

[knotty wren]

so it should be like first line if context.pseudorandom_result then second line if context.result true? then

[tepid crow]

Sure. Or with an and

[knotty wren]

I've only ever done one mod and it got lots of dl so I never bothered learning more qwq

ahh right

but to check if the result is true is it actually context.result true?

[tepid crow]

You can do context.result == true, or context.result as shorthand

[knotty wren]

I'll try that thankss :3

oh also, is the method for adding images to jokers the same as smods old calc?

what I mean, this would work right?

my old mod was made on smods old calc and I have no idea why I did that, maybe something wasn't working on the new one

[idle plaza]

if card.area and card.area.config.collection then to check if the joker is in the collection.

[fading rivet]

thx

[knotty wren]

which was the mod to test out the jokers? like, creative mod sbsbbjks

idon remember

[fading rivet]

debugplus

[knotty wren]

amaze amaze

[rigid solar]

how do you display a card like that in the description

[rigid solar]

oh wow that's so much simpler than i expected

thanks

[fading rivet]

np

[rigid solar]

hmm

[fading rivet]

code?

[rigid solar]

ignore the fact the _card isnt at the right place, i just moved that

[fading rivet]

is v a card object

[rigid solar]

no it's just a table of key, edition, table of stickers

[fading rivet]

do {element:1}

try create card and emplace

instead of add card

[rigid solar]

ok

[slim ferry]

oh yeah

add card is

specifically for adding cards to their default areas and doing add_to_deck and emplacing and stuff automatically

[rigid solar]

ok ok

didnt help 🤔

[fading rivet]

uhhh

[rigid solar]

oh nvm

[rigid solar]

it's because of this
i didn't understand at first what you meant

it's the space to the left and right

[fading rivet]

yeah

[rigid solar]

Ok I need to resize stuff a bit but it works perfectly, thanks!

i'd like to figure out why this isnt firing

if possible

[fading rivet]

i'm pretty sure everything in extra should be in the return itsself

[cinder elk]

noted; thanks much

[knotty wren]

how do I make a joker give 2 dollars when it's triggered but not on the joker scoring phase

[gaunt folio]

trying to make this trigger per negative joker owned, how can i make this work? doesnt currently

[sturdy compass]

Use ease_dollars(value)

[knotty wren]

oh I thought it was more complicated

it had that in a template I was following but it said ease_dollars(G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante*2)

[gaunt folio]

meant to sorta be like baseball card

[knotty wren]

and it will just say "+2" in yellow on the joker?

[sturdy compass]

No it won't do that

[knotty wren]

how can I?

I have to make a return with a message?

[sturdy compass]

You're doing stuff with hitting probabilities right?

Assuming you set up your calculate right, you should be able to just return dollars = value in your return table

[knotty wren]

like that?

[sturdy compass]

You don't need the extra, the card = card, or the colour

[fading rivet]

am I tweaking or does extra actually do something
i've never heard of it but thast 2 messages now

[sturdy compass]

and value should be whatever amount of dollars you're giving

[sturdy compass]

extra essentially acts as, well, an extra return table

[fading rivet]

does anything in smods interact with it

oh wait do you mean like having 2 seperate effects?

[sturdy compass]

kinda but you can also just SMODS.merge_effects instead

[fading rivet]

ah

[red flower]

SMODS.merge_effects is my favorite child

[red flower]

are you using any example mods for this

may i recommend new ones

[knotty wren]

yes I'd like new ones

idk how old the examples are in this one

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade has everything in vanilla remade in smods + an FAQ in the wiki
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods i updated this one recently, it has a couple more examples and some more explanation

[knotty wren]

hell yeahhh thankss

my boy

how do I spawn in things with debugplus

[tepid crow]

hold tab to see all the keybinds

[knotty wren]

ahh!

thanks qwq

[wispy falcon]

Where do I find when cards get drawn to hand, so that I can patch it for my boss blind? I can't seem to find it

[gaunt folio]

bump, currently doesnt do such a thing (i want it to function like baseball card)

[slim ferry]

its (card.edition and card.edition.negative)

or (card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_negative") works too iirc

[frosty rampart]

what's the intended behavior?

[wispy falcon]

I want to block drawing cards while in the boss blind because it doesn't use poker hands to win. It uses riddles

[red flower]

if context.drawing_cards then return { cards_to_draw = 0 } end?

[slate turtle]

pain

return { vars = {card and self.config.ee_mult or card.ability.extra.ee_mult, card and self.config.ee_mult_mod or card.ability.extra.ee_mult_mod } }

[wispy falcon]

That works, thank you. I only need to render the play and discard buttons now and make them be active without a card being selected

[dawn knoll]

what code do i use if i want a consumable to change the enhancement of selected cards

[red flower]

have you checked vanillaremade

[slate turtle]

check vanillaremade

[red flower]

loc_vars arguments are self, info_queue, card

[dawn knoll]

thx

[red flower]

also card and self.config.ee_mult or card.ability.extra.ee_mult doesnt make sense, it should be the other way around

doing this also doesn't really matter since card always exists

[slate turtle]

so only self.config.ee_mult and self.config.ee_mult_mod?

[knotty wren]

it is giving me dollars when a listed probability happens, +8 permanent chips, and then it gives the chips on scoring, but the problem is, it is giving me 4 dollars instead of 2

[red flower]

always card.ability. etc

[red flower]

remove the ease dollars

also you don't need the colour in the returns, it does it automatically

the bottom one i mean

[knotty wren]

ahh

wait so I just leave the return dollars?

[red flower]

yeah

that already calls ease_dollars

[knotty wren]

a a_

didn't realize that

also, I want blueprint to be able to copy the dollars, but not gain chips, but when I try to nest the ifs it says I don't "end" the first statement even if I do

[keen totem]

SMODS.calculate_effect() is basically just a return in a calculate function but without returning right?

like the same effects are available as returning

things like message and dollars and all

[red flower]

can you show that code

[red flower]

yes

[keen totem]

yea cause im realizing now that i can just calculate dollars instead of doing ease_dollars and a message

[hidden notch]

Whoever reworked G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info, it's amazing, thank you! :3

[knotty wren]

I already changed it D:

is there just a(n easier) way to make blueprint give the money, but not gain the chips?

[red flower]

can you paste your current code

[red flower]

nvm here

if context.pseudorandom_element and context.result then
    if not context.blueprint then
        card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_mod
    end
    return {
        dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
        message = not context.blueprint and localize("k_upgrade_ex") or nil,
        colour = not context.blueprint and G.C.CHIPS or nil
    }
end

[white zinc]

my joker doesn't seem to ever increment my card.ability.extra.num_of_cards var. anybody know what i did wrong?

[knotty wren]

ahhh sorry I was testing

[knotty wren]

ohhh yeah!! lemme try it

[red flower]

what is it supposed to count

[white zinc]

number of cards played that are not face cards

it's supposed to cycle through your played hand and only increment when a non-face card is played. if a face card is played, it resets to 0

[red flower]

G.playing_cards is all cards, cards played is context.full_hand or G.play.cards

[white zinc]

ahhh, yes that works

oops lol, thanks

[knotty wren]

now it just doesn't work qwq

I'll just make it blueprint incompatible

[red flower]

weird

[red flower]

i typo'd the context name lol

i let autocomplete handle it for me..

[knotty wren]

ah damn lhkadsbhlsadbjl

I didn't notice either

I'll fix it and try it

[wispy falcon]

Why does this not make the play button blue (active)? The first if gets triggered, that isn't the problem

'win_game' was just for testing

Wait, I think I'm dumb

[frosty rampart]

i will say, why are you patching and not just hooking the function

[wispy falcon]

Also true

[frosty rampart]

#📜・modding-rules rule 9

[wispy falcon]

Okay, got the button working. Only problem with it is that when it gets clicked, it crashes because of G.FUNCS[self.config.button](self) in Balatro's function UIElement:click(). Can I add my own function to G.FUNCS or is there a better way to prevent that?

[red flower]

you can add your own funcs

[knotty wren]

I'm playing rn but I had the question, can you make a joker open a booster pack during a round?

or is it impossible to open a pack mid round?

[frosty rampart]

would take a lot of work to implement it yourself, but i think if you make your mod depend on Spectrallib it'll take care of it for you?

[knotty wren]

damn qwq

I really don't want to add dependencies, so that joker idea goes to the bin

[red flower]

i wanted to add it to smods a long time ago but booster states are annoying

i think i do have the code for during a round somewhere

couldn't find it

[knotty wren]

bwehh it's oki

[dawn knoll]

My crash logs say they Could not find center “NewEnhancer2” which is the key used for one of my enhancements. Can someone help?

[true jasper]

We can't help you if we don't have the code that's crashing and what's the crash

[dawn knoll]

here's the code for the enhancement and its respective tarot

[dapper sun]

does G.UIT.O support ref_table ref_value pairs?

[dawn knoll]

???

[dapper sun]

?

[daring fern]

It should be m_modprefix_key

[dawn knoll]

i believe i did it correctly now

[fading rivet]

no

[dapper sun]

fuck

[fading rivet]

its purely for text

[dawn knoll]

still doesnt work

[fading rivet]

you could make it work with func though

but thats a lot of recalculate calls

so i'd make sure you track that its actually changing to avoid that

[dapper sun]

i'll be doing that dw

[dawn knoll]

it still says it could not find the center 'NewEnhancer2'

[fading rivet]

what did you do that caused this crash

[dawn knoll]

Im trying to make a tarot card that changes enhancements

[fading rivet]

send the tarot code

[dawn knoll]

its in this

you may have to fullscreen it

[fading rivet]

you need the m_

[dawn knoll]

i did that

[fading rivet]

m_Uber_NewEnhancer2

[dawn knoll]

hold on

[fading rivet]

here?

[dawn knoll]

updated code

[fading rivet]

what line is the crash on

[dawn knoll]

it doesnt say

[fading rivet]

yes it does

send the full log please

[dawn knoll]

error code

[dapper sun]

on line 251

[fading rivet]

you should update your lovely

[dawn knoll]

there is no line 251

[fading rivet]

but I don't think that'll solve the issue

[dapper sun]

wait that's card.lua i'm dumb

[dawn knoll]

how do i update lovely

[fading rivet]

google lovely injector

[dapper sun]

it's line 103

[red flower]

the key for the enhancement is incorrect somewhere

[dawn knoll]

there are only 2 spots with the key

and both are typed correctly

[fading rivet]

can you send your main .lua

around line 103

[red flower]

it's missing the prefixes

[dawn knoll]

one moment

[daring fern]

Did you start a new run?

[dawn knoll]

lines 102-105

[knotty wren]

I wanted to make like shop themed joker that when you sell it it'd give you a booster pack or something, what else could a bait or emergency shop joker do? I need ideas qwq

[red flower]

it can give you the tag for the booster pack maybe

[dawn knoll]

no i had to do something

[knotty wren]

that sounds cool :D

I could try that

[dawn knoll]

here's the code

[dawn knoll]

Ok so i updated lovely and it didnt work

[dawn knoll]

i got the code for you

[dapper sun]

how do i make a DynaText object?

[primal robin]

wdym

[dapper sun]

to put in a G.UIT.O

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/5ef54fa49bbb5a4450c78294fb7b2854134f5d44/src/cross_mod.lua#L249

dynatext

[dapper sun]

ty

[primal robin]

DynaText extends Moveable so it's like UIBox

[dapper sun]

okay

how do i use a localize parsed text table in it?

[red flower]

like the UI ones we were talking about earlier?

you can't

[primal robin]

ummm..... you cant

[dapper sun]

FUCK

then how do i

that's what i've been trying to do for the last several hours

[red flower]

what are you trying to do

[dapper sun]

bios in collection

[primal robin]

you need Dynatext only if you want your text bounce, or switch between strings

[dapper sun]

oh okay

then how do i do this

[primal robin]

you want multiline parsed text?

[dapper sun]

yea

i have a table of it already from the localize

right?

[primal robin]

Depends on where you place it

because depends on position it needs to be parsed or it's already parsed

[red flower]

i should have an example in my mod

[primal robin]

I was using localize before but now I always parse string every time

because i'm lazy

[dapper sun]

it's already parsed bc i used the code from joyousspring

[red flower]

i think nodes = nodes_from_localize should work

[dapper sun]

yea i'm doing that

now how do i use that

[red flower]

no i mean

[dapper sun]

ohhhhh

i see

[primal robin]

localize basically returns array of arrays of text lines

but you need cover them into rows and then in column manually

[dapper sun]

uhhh

[red flower]

i love ui error

[dapper sun]

wait

i forgot to uncomment the code to make the bio table 😭

[primal robin]

again, ui parsed only if it's inside G.localization.descriptions[<your_set>]

[dapper sun]

gimme a sec

[primal robin]

desc_lines is array of rows which you need cover into C

[dapper sun]

desc_lines?

[primal robin]

I mean show your code so far

[dapper sun]

local bio = {}
localize({type="res_bio",set="elle_Resident",key="elle_r_elle_chloe",nodes=bio})

rowNode.nodes[#rowNode.nodes+1] =
{n = G.UIT.C, config = {padding = 0.1, r = 0.08, hover=true, shadow=true, colour = G.C.L_BLACK}, nodes = {
    {n = G.UIT.C, config = {padding = 0.1, r = 0.08, emboss = 0.05, colour = G.C.BLACK}, nodes = {
        {n=G.UIT.O, config = {object = c}}
    }},
    {n = G.UIT.C, config = {minw=4, maxw=4, h=G.CARD_H, padding = 0.1, r = 0.08, emboss = 0.05, colour = G.C.BLACK}, nodes = {
        {n = G.UIT.R, config = {}, nodes = { {n = G.UIT.T, config = {scale = 0.3, colour = G.C.WHITE, text = "Bio"}} }},
        {n = G.UIT.R, config = {}, nodes = bio},
    }}
}}```

[primal robin]

nope

[dapper sun]

?

[primal robin]

localize return array of array of text lines

Which you need manually cover into R

And then all of them into C

[dapper sun]

_ _

[primal robin]

that's why there's a loop after localize

it converts localize result to UI which you can use

[dapper sun]

ah

how do i make the default text colour white

[primal robin]

default_col = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT

[dapper sun]

where do i put that

in the localize?

[primal robin]

yes

[dapper sun]

ty

now to figure out how to make it change for whatever card is in the corresponding collection area

maybe if i make the bio part a uibox object and G.UIT.O it in so i can swap it out

[primal robin]

just rerender entire page, it's easier

[dapper sun]

oh true

[dapper sun]

haven't figured out the rerendering but

what do i do to rerender it?
-# https://github.com/ellestuff/ellejokers/blob/83ed3b45899ff07154b145b8d54fcf46afa98b00/lua/misc/resident.lua#L80-L184

here's it not rerendering

@primal robin any ideas?

[rapid stag]

i accidentally wrote "xonrwzr" while writing a context check and now i want contexts to be renamed to "xonrwzr" 😭

...actually i could, since you can name function args whatever you want food for thought when i make the big one

[dapper sun]

you could in theory but idk why you'd want to

[dapper sun]

i can't figure this out 😭

[red flower]

i can look at it tomorrow if it doesn't work by then but i never tried that before

[dapper sun]

i tried putting a G.OVERLAY_MENU:recalculate() at the end of G.FUNCS.SMODS_card_collection_page and it didn't do anything

[dapper sun]

ty

on that note

it's 3am, i'm going to bed

[red flower]

i was looking into how the potato patch tutorials do it and they just remake the overlay 😭

[dapper sun]

😭

i only need it to update the text when you switch pages

[fading rivet]

eep well

[dapper sun]

sleepy was the one that suggested recalculating the whole page

well

i'm not necessarily going to eep

just bed

can still chat from phone

but i won't be at my pc to test code stuff

[knotty wren]

fixed it and it works again but blueprint still gets the chips

[red flower]

does it scale or just the message

[knotty wren]

no message but it scales

[red flower]

huh

how

[knotty wren]

no idea

        if context.pseudorandom_result and context.result == true then
            if not context.blueprint then
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_mod
            end
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                message = not context.blueprint and localize("k_upgrade_ex") or nil,
                colour = not context.blueprint and G.C.CHIPS or nil
            }
        end
            

        if context.joker_main then
            return {                                     
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips, 
            }
        end
    end,```

[red flower]

how much is chip_mod?

[knotty wren]

config = { extra = { chips = 0, chip_mod = 4, dollars = 2} },

[red flower]

looks fine to me?

[torn thunder]

it's scaling properly

[red flower]

did you mean that it still scores chips?

[knotty wren]

oh wait

right

I'm gonna sell my joker and see if blueprint does some weird shi

I'm worried cuz my last mod blueprint would score by itself

right, it works fine LMAO

sorry ahah

[near coral]

How do you make a description glitch like misprint's +mult text

[torn thunder]

look at vanillaremade misprint

[near coral]

I see a thing called DynaText is that it

[white zinc]

is it possible to trigger a joker’s art to change during its scoring?

[torn thunder]

yes

[near coral]

[daring fern]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = x, y = y})

[torn thunder]

try looking for it in steamodded docs before asking if that's it, lol

[white zinc]

thank you!

[fading rivet]

dynatext isnt in there for some reason

needs to be fixed actually since it has non vanilla features

[torn thunder]

oh odd

[red flower]

most vanilla stuff isn't documented still even if it has changes

[near coral]

I believe it comes from seed pods

Each pod houses seeds known as vanilla beans

[knotty wren]

is there a way to detect the total amount of cards with a seal on deck?

kinda like for stone joker that counts all stone cards on deck

[red flower]

loop through all the cards and check each one

[daring fern]

local count = 0
for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if v:get_seal() then
        count = count+1
    end
end

[knotty wren]

wow that was fast

what does this do?

[idle plaza]

Adds the Stone enhancement pop-up description to the side of the card's description when viewed.

[knotty wren]

is there one for seals?

I guess not because of the multiple types of seal?

[idle plaza]

You can add one for specific seals. Example, info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_SEALS.Red for the Red Seal.

[frosty rampart]

^

[knotty wren]

amazing artwork

can I change the color where it says "red seal"

[white zinc]

this line of code doesn't seem to be working correctly as even when i set both the num and denom variables to both be 1 (1 in 1 chance), this if statement never seems to trigger. anybody know what i messed up?

[daring fern]

You're setting red_light_triggered to false in every context.

[white zinc]

ahh

i need to add it in to the loc_vars then i suppose

wait no, the line at the top local = red_light_triggered = false should only happen every time the joker goes off. if the probability hits, wouldn't the code read the "if context.after and red_light_triggered == true then" before it reads the false one?

unless the calculate = function at the top triggers more than once?

[daring fern]

No, you should store the variable in config instead.

[white zinc]

i was under the impression that all variables in the config need to also have a counterpart in loc_vars

is that not true?

[daring fern]

Yes, you would only put it in loc_vars if you want to display it in the joker's description.

[white zinc]

alright, i got it to work now!

thanks

[white zinc]

while my joker functions perfectly fine, ideally i'd want the card to change its sprite after it does its scoring animation. right now, it does it before the cards score. is there a better place i can put this line of code to make the sprite change line up better?

[rigid solar]

In an event

[white zinc]

any chance you can link me to the documentation for events?

[frosty dock]

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

[daring fern]

You would also need to put it in a func in the return.

[white zinc]

so i’d create a func, and then run that func in the return?

[frosty dock]

return { func = function() ... end, message = "..." }

[lyric wadi]

questiobn to modevchat

if a joker has multiple description boxes, does main_end goes on the topmost box or the bottommost box?

and if it's a former, is there a way to do the same but for the bottom box?

[frosty dock]

main_start/main_end go before/after everything. there's box_starts/box_ends to place things before/after the contents of any specific box

there's also element controls you can use to place things literally anywhere

[knotty wren]

question, that "1" means the first card? (the leftmost card)

[fading rivet]

yes

[knotty wren]

would scoring_hand[1,3,5] work?

[fading rivet]

no thats not valid lua

[knotty wren]

yes sorry I'm on mobile rn qwq

how would the proper formatting look like?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[knotty wren]

target the leftmost card, the middle card, and the right most card

[fading rivet]

{context.scoring_hand[1], context.scoring_hand[3], context.scoring_hand[5]} if you need a table to iterate through, but theres possibly a different way depending on what your trying to do

[fading rivet]

in order to do what?

[knotty wren]

retrigger them like with hanging chad

[fading rivet]

okay don't use a table then

if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] or context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[3] or context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[5] then
  -- stuff
end

[knotty wren]

thanks youu

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and ({[context.scoring_hand[1]]=1,[context.scoring_hand[math.ceil(#context.scoring_hand/2)]]=1,[context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]]=1})[context.other_card] then
    return {repetitions = number}
end

[fading rivet]

wouldn

buh'

wouldn

omg

wouldn't that last chek always return nil

since the table is {[1] = card, [2] = card, [3] = card}[card]

[knotty wren]

those "or"

wouldn't that just make only one of the cards retrigger?

[fading rivet]

need brackets around them and then yeah that i'll work

[fading rivet]

no?

if its 1st card or its 3rd card or its 5th card

1st card passes first check

second fails all3

3rd fails first, passes 2nd

4th fails all 3

5th fais first 2, passes 3rd

[knotty wren]

ahhhh I get it!

it's like, it checks each one?

damn

[daring fern]

Yes, but you shouldn't use that code because it wouldn't work if you play an amount of cards that is not 5.

[lyric wadi]

yeah if you TRULY want to do "Retriggers every other card", then you shouldn't just check for position 1 3 and 5, because if you play two odd numbered hands in a row two cards will be retriggered consecutively

if it were me i would have a boolean flag that toggles on context.individual

[fading rivet]

oh wait I misread their sentence ;-;

i read they specificly wanted 1st, 3rd, and 5th lmao

[knotty wren]

I mean I did word it that way

[fading rivet]

no you didn't ;-;

use something's code

[knotty wren]

i was just giving an example!! D:

like if you play a flush with the joker that allows you to play flushes with 4 cards, and the first card doesn't score because it's a different suit

then it'd be something like the 2nd card and 4th card

[fading rivet]

oh

use full hand then

[lyric wadi]

i honestly would just use individual

[fading rivet]

doesn't work with retriggers

[knotty wren]

but i thought the code in hanging chad already counted the first <---- scored hand

or does it not?

i forgor

[fading rivet]

hanging chad is scoring hand

not full hand

[knotty wren]

it's 6 am 😭

[lyric wadi]

it can if you're smart about it

[knotty wren]

yeah! that's why I thought 1,3,5 would work

[slim ferry]

genuinely how is setting a flag in individual and then retriggering in repetition different from just doing the same check in repetition

[fading rivet]

you should be using the intended context though 😭

hanging chad would retrigger the first 10 of hearts here

[knotty wren]

what have I done

[slim ferry]

you can just context.other_card.rank%2 ~= 0 im pretty sure

[fading rivet]

okay back to coding

time to learn how to make a sticker

[slim ferry]

since Card.rank is the position in the cardarea

[knotty wren]

I'll try your code first then I'll try the individual one I'm going to die

[fading rivet]

use somethings

not mine

[knotty wren]

where do I add le brackets?

[fading rivet]

this is good to use

[slim ferry]

somethingcoms code is already functional

[fading rivet]

and replace scoring_hand with full_hand if you want unscored cards to mess with it

[knotty wren]

ah! alright then (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

learning is fun but coding has always been the bane of my existance

I only use gdscript bwehh

[fading rivet]

fair

i would not recommend (but also would its a good learning experience) getting into shaders then

hmm

is there a way I could make a card not score, but still count for poker hands

[knotty wren]

black seal

[fading rivet]

mod?

[knotty wren]

oh god I already got into shaders on godot ts was not fun but I could try

[slim ferry]

yes

[knotty wren]

oh no I was just give an idea for how to implement it xd

[slim ferry]

whatever the opposite is of the return that splash uses

[fading rivet]

oh I know how i'm impementing it

[fading rivet]

ah okay, thx

[slim ferry]

remove_from_hand = true in context.modify_scoring_hand

[knotty wren]

"I love coding but I hate havin to translate it back to english how do you guys do it"

[fading rivet]

went to get a ss and guh

heat abnormal breaking my game smh

time to do nothing and hope its a random bug

[knotty wren]

hmmm i could make wet soggy card edition

holy shit medicine mentioned

[fading rivet]

what would I need to put here for playing cards

[daring fern]

Default and Enhanced

[fading rivet]

And do I need this if I'm doing set_sticker or does calling that bypass any checks

[daring fern]

You would have to do card:add_sticker('modprefix_key', true) to bypass all checks.

[fading rivet]

that'll work then, thx

[fading rivet]

where can I find sticker data at for info queues?

[daring fern]

{set = 'Other', key = 'modprefix_key'}

[fading rivet]

thx

[silk latch]

Honestly I'm proud of my seal just because it's not actually a seal.

Like I genuinely feel clever for it.

[silent sail]

i found a thing on the steammodded guide but i cant find it anymore and idk if im going crazy but was there a thinng where you can make text clickable to do an effect?

i want to make a joker with an activated ability but i cant find the thing anymore

[fading rivet]

like in a description

or do you mean a use button

[silent sail]

either works

could have sworn theere was somekthing about it in descriptions but i cant find it anymore

but a use button would probably be better i reckon but probably i assume not as simple

[fading rivet]

https://github.com/Foo54/SynthB/blob/main/src%2Fapi%2Fuseable_joker.lua

take this code

just make sure you replace synthb_use_joker and synthb_can_use_joker with you own names

[silent sail]

yeah ok thank you, should i put it in main.lua or its own file?

[fading rivet]

this will let you include can_use = function(self, card) and use = function(self, card) in your joker definitions

[fading rivet]

up to you

[silent sail]

oh alright coools

[red flower]

you can't click joker descriptions lol

there is a way to add buttons to text but it wouldn't work there

[silent sail]

i think ive had some form of hallucination then i vividly remember seeing it in the smods thing and thinking this is so coo l

[fading rivet]

vremade includes a tutorial on adding buttons

might have seen that

[silent sail]

i see

[red flower]

yeah

[silent sail]

well thank you for the code, im gonna go cook now

[red flower]

smods does add the button thing in descriptions so that's correct

[fading rivet]

or the smods UI Guide for buttons, but that only works on uis that dont disappear when you try to click them

[silent sail]

i see

[slate turtle]

why is my mod not loading????'

i have it in my smods folder

it aint nested

what the fuck

[mystic river]

in the smods folder?

[narrow prawn]

theres supposed to be a message that pops up whenever you play a card, but it doesnt seem to show

wait no it does

it just doesnt play the sound

[gilded blaze]

return a sound field instead, not play_sound

[narrow prawn]

ohhh

i just figured that

[silent sail]

i have a joker that marks random cards to give 2x mult, how would i be able to apply a soul_pos sprite to said cards?

[red flower]

easiest way is a drawstep, check The Soul in vanillaremade and use the same logic for the marked cards

[red flower]

i should add a comment on how to create the sprite

[narrow prawn]

my edition breaks when i try to view it in the main menu collection

[fading rivet]

read the crashlog

[narrow prawn]

ik

[fading rivet]

G.hand doesnt exist

[narrow prawn]

ik whats happening

i just dont get what context or other i should check before doing the effect

[fading rivet]

check that G.hand exists

[narrow prawn]

okay done

[silent sail]

ok i cant figure this out ive been on this for like 4 houts how would i get this to applythis sprite to all marked cards

[red flower]

does my solution not work?

i literally posted the entire code

[silent sail]

i couldnt figure it out

autism be dammde

[red flower]

do you have the code for what you tried

[silent sail]

deleted because it wasnt working and i was getting annoyed

[red flower]

well i would recommend not doing that next time so its easier to help you

[silent sail]

real

[red flower]

i feel nice today so let me write it for you

[silent sail]

thanking you greatly

[red flower]

do you have the atlas for that sprite

[silent sail]

SMODS.Atlas({
key = "marked",
path = "marked.png",
px = 71,
py = 95,
atlas_table = "ASSET_ATLAS"
})

i did assign the atlas correctly right?

[red flower]

oh and whats your prefix

[red flower]

yeah

[silent sail]

baggutro

[red flower]

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'russian_marked',
    order = 50,
    func = function(card)
        if card.ability.russian_marked then
            if not G.baggutro_marked then
                G.baggutro_marked = Sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.ASSET_ATLAS["baggutro_marked"], { x = 0, y = 0 })
            end
            local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
                0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)) * math.pi * 14) *
                (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 3
            local rotate_mod = 0.1 * math.sin(1.219 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
                0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL) * math.pi * 5) * (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 2

            G.baggutro_marked.role.draw_major = card
            G.baggutro_marked:draw_shader('dissolve', 0, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod, nil,
                0.1 + 0.03 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL), nil, 0.6)
            G.baggutro_marked:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front' },
}

[silent sail]

and this goes in the same thing under my joker right?

[red flower]

it can go anywhere, its not tied to the joker

[silent sail]

THANK YOU

working likea charm

[narrow prawn]

is there a way that i could set the name of a boss blind to a random other boss blind

[knotty wren]

errr nvm fixed it

[narrow prawn]

also annoying me that its doing this

nevermind i fixed it

[narrow prawn]

still would like to be able to do this

[fading rivet]

patching
ui is incredibly hard coded

How could I get a random consumable?

like is there a poll function for them

[narrow prawn]

hmm

cryptid had something like that

[narrow prawn]

also i meant like

chaning the name of my custom boss blind

to a random other boss blind

[fading rivet]

I know what you mean

[daring heron]

out of all the modded objects, how hard are decks to mod on a scale of 1 to 10,.

[narrow prawn]

is there not like a way to just grab the name of a random one

[fading rivet]

1-2

[fading rivet]

thats the easy part

the hard part is actually displaying

[daring heron]

ok so like really easy

[gilded narwhal]

guys why is this info queue only showing the name of the thing I'm trying to have an info queue for but not the text box

[fading rivet]

everything is like 1-2

[narrow prawn]

cant i just set the name to be the return of a function that does that

[fading rivet]

its the effect that matters

[fading rivet]

no

[daring heron]

yeah fair

[fading rivet]

you are going to need patching

[daring heron]

exept for ui

[narrow prawn]

oh 😭

[daring heron]

ui SUCKS

[fading rivet]

its not that bad

[daring heron]

ik i was joking

[gilded narwhal]

like heres what it looks like in game

[fading rivet]

balatros ui is pretty good
now if your doing anything custom that's when things get tricky

[red flower]

does it need to change on the fly or does it pick on rolling the blind

[gilded narwhal]

i dont know how it can fetch the name but not the description

[fading rivet]

considering its a ultrakill refetence

im assuming its gonna say one blind until they play a hand

then switch to what it actually is

correct me if I'm wrong mations

[red flower]

i think using key in loc_vars and calling G.GAME.blind:set_text() should work

[fading rivet]

oh that's a function ;-;

okay nvm yeah no patching then

[narrow prawn]

rolling the blind

[red flower]

ah then you just need the loc_vars thing

[narrow prawn]

yeahh

[fading rivet]

balatros localize function is hard coded for valid sets ;-;

[narrow prawn]

its cause i wanted to do something to do with ultrakills disintergration loop

and the idea that the name would change

to a random boss blind

[gilded narwhal]

welp

[fading rivet]

something like this?

[gilded narwhal]

okay i'll try something else

[fading rivet]

its possible, and honestly not that hard

lemme send you the code

[gilded narwhal]

i think I can just like use Other no?

[narrow prawn]

its going to show the correct name on playing

the blind

[fading rivet]

ah
then yeah just using loc vars

[narrow prawn]

and also play music too which ive done

[fading rivet]

yes, but then you have to duplicate your entries

patching into localize to accept your custom category is much easier

[gilded narwhal]

I got it to work but what is the code for the easier way

[fading rivet]

https://github.com/Foo54/SynthB/blob/main/lovely%2Finfo_queue.toml

delete lines 16 and 17, and change "MiscInfoQueue" into "aij_astral"

[gilded narwhal]

lovely

[fading rivet]

exactly

[gilded narwhal]

:shock:

very weird how that works

[narrow prawn]

hmm

how would i grab a random name of a boss blind

[torn thunder]

67....

[narrow prawn]

istg 😭 😭 😭

okay i deleted the file smehow ig

[dapper sun]

what's the context for when a hand is drawn at start of blind or after scoring (not after discarding)

[sturdy compass]

I think context.first_hand_drawn?

[dapper sun]

that's only at start or blind

not after scoring

also i'm doing this for a juice_card_until

[red flower]

there isn't one that excludes discarding

hand_drawn is for any drawing

[dapper sun]

i've decided against adding the juice_card_until anyways

too much hassle

[red flower]

nice

[narrow prawn]

im so stuck 😭

[knotty wren]

what this means? 💔

[narrow prawn]

i get how to get the name and set it

but i cant seem to set it back

[sturdy compass]

The minimum ante a boss can appear at

[narrow prawn]

im a bit stuck

[knotty wren]

vanillaremade doesn't have this but uhmm, how do I add a name to my boss blind ahah

[narrow prawn]

loc_txt

look at my screenshot

im trying to do a more difficult version where it changes to a random boss blind and then changes back

[slim ferry]

Blind section in localization file if you use that

otherwise its just loc_txt, that works for everything

[red flower]

do you do the set_text thing i said

[red flower]

it surely does, it's in the localization file

[knotty wren]

ah I guess that does make sense

ts don't work :c``` calculate = function(self, blind, context)
after_play = function(self)
for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
local current_card = G.play.cards[i]

            if pseudorandom('chomp_blind') < 0.25 then 
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = 'after',
                    delay = 0.2,
                    func = function()
                        attention_text({
                            text = "CHOMP!",
                            scale = 1.3, 
                            hold = 1.4,
                            major = current_card,
                            backdrop_col = G.C.RED,
                            col = G.C.WHITE
                        })
                        

                        play_sound('tarot1') 
                        
                                -- ts don't worjk :broken_heart:
                        current_card:start_dissolve()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
    end
end```

I'm sure there's an easier way to do this

[sturdy compass]

after_play should not be in calculate

[vague haven]

uh this is dumb but how do i actually have the mod actually show up 😭

[sturdy compass]

Do you have a metadata .json properly set up?

[vague haven]

i have it idk what mi supoused to ddo with it thp

OH WTF

ITS EMPTY NVM!

i probably just didnt save it

thanks!

[knotty wren]

a

[narrow prawn]

Oh I didn’t see this

[knotty wren]

it still doesn't work 💔

I thought I cooked

[red flower]

what is this supposed to do

a lot of this code can be replaced by newer stuff

[knotty wren]

after playing a hand in the boss blind, 1 in 4 chance for scored playing cards to be destroyed

[red flower]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(blind, "unique seed", 1, 4) then
    return { remove = true }
end

you can add message = "CHOMP" to the return too

[knotty wren]

how so?

[fading rivet]

by adding message = "CHOMP" in the return

[knotty wren]

oh just like that? nice

wdym 😭

[red flower]

it's the exact thing i said

lol

[knotty wren]

oh what

I completely misread that

[fading rivet]

:sob;

[knotty wren]

I need to sleep more sorry ahah

I thought it said "you can add the message chomp on the return too"

wait it doesn't work, did I completely implement your code wrongly?

[red flower]

contexts are a calculate thing

[knotty wren]

please bare with me, I last modded for balatro like a year ago

so I change after_play with calculate?

[red flower]

yes

with the correct arguments

[vague haven]

yo so i lowkey just copy and pasted ts

how to
yk

im stupid 😭

just the code i gave, and the blind.disable line

[knotty wren]

shieee

aight thanks bwehh

[red flower]

what's the issue

[narrow prawn]

doesnt work ~_~

[red flower]

set_blind seems to be inside loc_vars

[narrow prawn]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[red flower]

also that's not what i meant in loc_vars

[vague haven]

it lowkey just doesnt come up

[red flower]

you need to return { key = "key for the other blind }

hello modding dev

[fading rivet]

does JimboJimbo.lua exist

[vast bough]

i am making global variables and persistant variables for joker forge 2, currently, the persistant variables last until you close the game, does anyone know if it is easy to make it last between opening and closing balatro

Anyone has any idea why this 8 Ball won't be eternal, or runner rental (it's perish immune so this one makes sense) ? I'm clueless

[vast bough]

how would i go about that or can you point me in the direction of docs

[vast bough]

oh wow

perfect

my goat???

[vague haven]

yes

[narrow prawn]

ohhh it work snow

[vague haven]

i was just testing if fit showed up first maybe i have to like actually add a something for it to work

[fading rivet]

can I see your mod fodler

[knotty wren]

the boss blind finally works but the chomp message appears on the blind icon instead of the cards

[vague haven]

literally same as example jokers

[fading rivet]

add card = context.other_card into the return

[fading rivet]

turn on file extensions please

[narrow prawn]

i wonder if i can get the blind icon as well....

:)

[vague haven]

done 😭

[fading rivet]

and this is JimboJimbo.json?

[dawn knoll]

can someone help me with this?

[vague haven]

yup

[fading rivet]

try adding "priority": 0

@vague haven

[vague haven]

okie

[narrow prawn]

though then again blind icons may be too much

[vague haven]

worked

tyy!!!

[fading rivet]

np

[dawn knoll]

im trying to get this tarot card to work, but it cant find center "NewEnhancer2", can someone help me?

[knotty wren]

like this? it didn't work qwq

[red flower]

did you start a new game

[dawn knoll]

ill do that real quick

[red flower]

context.destroy_card

instead of other_card

[dawn knoll]

IT WORKS

YIPPEE

[dawn knoll]

thx

[red flower]

somethingcom told you that first 😭

[dawn knoll]

oh

did he?

[narrow prawn]

trying to change the icon but it keeps defaulting back to this

[dawn knoll]

i actually didnt see lol

[red flower]

does returning atlas actually do anything

you need to change the G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite
im still not sure how to properly change the atlas of a sprite but you can use :set_sprite_pos to set the position

[knotty wren]

rateThanks

[narrow prawn]

this is fun but hard

[rigid solar]

How would I got about properly resizing a card? rn im doing this but it only affects the card, not stickers (and i assume not soul layer and any other layer that might exist)

[tranquil cypress]

I think its card.T.scale

[rigid solar]

oh yeah thx

[tranquil cypress]

np

[rigid solar]

That has to be one of the coolest things I've made, but it's not compatible with other mods so that kinda sucks lol

[narrow prawn]

honestly if i have time later and im not lazy ill change the icon too

[knotty wren]

can this line work for seals

to target cards with seals I mean

[red flower]

i dont think so

[knotty wren]

also this still doesn't work I don't understand

[solemn wharf]

that is so cool!!!!

[red flower]

oh it should be message_card = context.destroy_card

[wispy falcon]

How do I get if my overlay got closed or how do I block that it can be closed by pressing esc?

[red flower]

config = {no_esc = true}

if G.OVERLAY_MENU doesnt exist then its closed

[wispy falcon]

Where do I put that config? In the G.UIT.ROOT config?

[red flower]

uibox config

search no_esc in the vanilla code for an example

[knotty wren]

is recalc_debuff an old thing or does it work still

guards, behead him

[red flower]

it works

you can also use context.debuff_card

[knotty wren]

nicee

what was the statement toi return true if the card has a seal?

like this but for seals

[red flower]

[brittle yacht]

how do i add time to a joker

what im trying to do is have a joker that does something after a set amount of time

[fading rivet]

use the update function

[brittle yacht]

how..?

i dont think ive ever used it

[fading rivet]

idk i never use it

it runs every frame though

[brittle yacht]

plus i would want a timer in the joker's description

[red flower]

update has the delta time as dt, which is the time since last frame (with speed up taken into account)

G.real_dt is the real one

[fading rivet]

thats going to need dynatext

[red flower]

for showing it in the description theres something in the vremade wiki

[red flower]

a text node works

[fading rivet]

oh yeah that exists now

[white zinc]

so i've created an event here in the return function and this does delay the joker art change as i intended, however, now the message isn't showing up. where do i need to put the message code?

[red flower]

that always existed

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-text-to-the-description-of-my-card-that-updates-in-real-time

[fading rivet]

i might be stupid

[red flower]

can you paste that here

@brittle yacht here's an example

[brittle yacht]

also

theres a bug in here somewhere

this is a different joker

[red flower]

i made an easier playing card adding function for people to use it 😭

SMODS.add_card{ set = "Base", suit = "S" } can replace a lot of that

[brittle yacht]

mb 😭

[white zinc]

perfect, thank you!

[brittle yacht]

i used jokerforge for that one instead of doing work in class 😭

[fading rivet]

we can tell lol

[red flower]

jokerforge was made with syntax from ages ago sadly

[brittle yacht]

where exactly is the time function btw

im confused

comments would be nice

[fading rivet]

wdym the time function

[red flower]

in update, it does some calculations based on the time

its not exactly what you want

but its the idea

[narrow prawn]

how could i shuffle the played hand?

[brittle yacht]

also, what exactly would i replace with SMODS.add_card{ set = "Base", suit = "S" }, in the code for MLK Joker

[fading rivet]

can I provide nil for rank or suit arguments in SMODS.change_base

[red flower]

yes

[fading rivet]

🔥

[red flower]

all of these blocks, and just replace S with the corresponding suit (you can use the letter or the full name)
this is a bit better

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  func = function()
    SMODS.add_card{ set = "Base", suit = "S", key_append = self.key.. "create" } -- key_append is the seed
    return true
  end
}))

you will lose some of the animation but i would look at vanillaremade after to recreate it without doing all of this

these blocks didnt send the pic

also the return is kinda broken

[queen crescent]

thought twas some pwx code since it looked similar

[red flower]

this is old vanilla code

[brittle yacht]

so replace the blocks in the image?

[red flower]

yeah

[brittle yacht]

ight

[red flower]

i mean the four similar blocks

[brittle yacht]

yeah

[red flower]

oh and remove all the return

except the messages if you want those

[narrow prawn]

would this work as card shuffling code?

[brittle yacht]

so i think i did something wrong, the game crashes when i discard but when i sell it works fine

oh and the playing function works too

[red flower]

no, it will be too late at that point in scoring

[narrow prawn]

ah

what would be the proper context for that then

[red flower]

this seems like jokerforge jank, let me see

[brittle yacht]

ight

[narrow prawn]

would it be context.before

[red flower]

thats also too late, it would be press_play but that code wouldnt work because G.play doesnt exist

im not sure what the code for it would be

[narrow prawn]

hmm

i just need to shuffle the cards

[red flower]

like this

[brittle yacht]

oh thanks

[red flower]

oh the selling_self one needs area = G.deck in the add_cards

because it will add them to hand in the shop and stuff lol

[brittle yacht]

ight cool

thanks N'

this is why WE love you

huh

why is scored card nil

[brittle yacht]

idk gng 😭

[red flower]

you can probably remove the returns to fix it

but idk why it's happening

[brittle yacht]

no message

[narrow prawn]

who wants to guess why theres 3 of them

:)

im doing a very devious thing

[brittle yacht]

hm

[fading rivet]

how could I change the base chips a card scores

[brittle yacht]

i dont knowwww

[red flower]

hook get_chip_bonus iirc

[fading rivet]

i tried changing card.base.nominal and this happened

[narrow prawn]

each has a different effect, and plays different music parts of 8-3

[brittle yacht]

woh

ts so innovative

[narrow prawn]

yeah

if i can get the blind icon working

then it'll be amazing

frankly the best thing ever

[brittle yacht]

whos frank

[brittle yacht]

ight mlk joker works now

now to move onto the time thing

[knotty wren]

I tried if card.seal, if card.seal == true, if has_seal, if has_seal == true, idk, I'm so lost qwq

[red flower]

if card.seal then should work

have you tried without the seal check to see if it debuffs correctly

[knotty wren]

goo d idea brb

[wispy falcon]

How do I make my own play button trigger context.press_play?

            self.buttons = UIBox {
                definition = create_UIBox_buttons(),
                config = { align = "bm", offset = { x = 0, y = 0.3 }, major = G.hand, bond = 'Weak' }
            }
        end
        if self.buttons and not self.buttons.states.visible and not self.deck_preview then
            self.buttons.states.visible = true
        end```

Here's the whole file, if needed

[faint yacht]

Just add SMODS.calculate_context({ press_play = true }) to button function.

[fading rivet]

okay its scoring right but won't display properly

[red flower]

you probably need to patch where it displays

[fading rivet]

yep

I don't understand where it needs to be...

what now

wrong spot lmao

[brittle yacht]

WWW

[faint yacht]

Depending on when you want it to trigger in said function.

[wispy falcon]

The moment it gets clicked. But what function? The create_UIBox_buttons() from definition = create_UIBox_buttons(),?

[knotty wren]

I guess it works now, I didn't change anything qwq

[brittle yacht]

bump i lied

ignore error message the joker js doesnt do anything

[silk latch]

why isn't this doing anything?

[faint yacht]

...the function that your button calls...

[brittle yacht]

very important bump

[faint yacht]

...why are you return-ing in update?

If you just want to give money, either SMODS.calculate_effect({ dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars}, card) or ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars).

Firstly, sorry for being so dumb earlier. Brain wasn't working correctly. Secondly, that doesn't fix my problem. My custom buttons don't retrigger... When I press them, they only work the first time. Also, sometimes they just don't load at all and I don't know what I can do to fix those. Tried some things, didn't work =/

🤷 I am not advanced enough to assist in such.

All good. Do you know someone that might be able to help?

Is there a LUA template that I could use to make my own mod?

[torn thunder]

uhhh you could reference vanillaremade, it has examples of how like every object in the game works

but idk about like a proper template

[bold eagle]

{s:0.7,X:zwp_pure_evil,C:white,E:1}Pure Evil{}

when this shows up in game, the "Pure Evil" part of it becomes one word instead of 2

and idk whats wrong with it

X doesn't work with spaces.
