#[WIP/Concepting] Super Auto Balatro - Super Auto Pets Total Overhaul Mod!
remote gate
unstoppable force
mortal leaf
considering making 'on attack' effects proc per hand and 'on death' effects proc on first hand, but i feel like that's an easy way out. wanna know people's thoughts
ive been stewing over how to implement 'dying' and 'attacking' for jokers
considered ceremonial dagger and madness, but since im also considering going the route of removing base game jokers, thats not a viable method

past crypt
Would definitly see "Shark" work like Campfire
mortal leaf
this might be too far removed from beaver's effect in SAP, but i think im gonna make on-sell effects proc on buy instead
if i were to make it on-sell, it would be a dead card in hand (other than to stack stats on)
thoughts and feedback appreciated
also got buying duplicate jokers giving xp working
i think for this instance, if you buy a duplicate beaver, it'll proc the one with higher xp
oh yea, again, the numbers arent final, just tryna get numbers out so i can move on to the next card
calm cradle
i was gonna say something about the numbers being low but if they're just placeholders than nvm

I mean, aren't the Buy cards dead in hand too?

FYI, I'm trying to make a hook to the ability table UI similar to yours, and I found a bug. Maybe it's only in my code, but I'll leave it here before I go to sleep in case it also happens in yours. While in the collection, moving the mouse cursor too fast over the Jokers seems to cause a crash.
The error message I get is that I'm trying to index specific_vars when specific_vars is nil. I can probably add a check for that, but since it only happens once I start changing pages and flailing my mouse cursor rapidly makes me think there's something else going on.
mortal leaf

its a little unclear in the description, but if you buy a duplicate beaver, it procs the beaver you own
i should re-write the description for that
just tried the mouse flailing thing and not getting an error
sage jacinth
just tried the mouse flailing thing and not getting an error
I was also changing pages while doing it
But I fixed it for now by double-checking that specific_vars exist
mortal leaf
mildly unproductive day, reworded beaver and changed the way you gain xp
i dunno how to word the beaver description
basically if you have no beavers and you buy a beaver, the beaver you buy procs
but otherwise, it only procs the ones you already own
maybe i should just make the one you buy always proc
yknow what im willing to do that just so its easier to describe
mortal leaf
ok managed to speedrun a rough-ish version of fish out before i go to bed
sage jacinth
I’d consider using keywords like SAP
mortal leaf
i wanna avoid using keywords
mostly because balatro doesnt have them
also guys help what should cricket do
or anything that summons tokens
past crypt
i wanna avoid using keywords
"On selling spawn 2 Zombie Cricket (must have room)" ?
mortal leaf
oh god i have to make tokens too then...
past crypt
Smh making a SAP mod without summoner builds
mortal leaf
maybe i make tokens that spawn during blinds negative+temporary
so they die once the blind is over
past crypt
Sure
sage jacinth
or anything that summons tokens
Tokens could either be cards or Jokers
That does give me some ideas
mortal leaf
summoning tokens + killing tokens
sage jacinth
summoning tokens + killing tokens
Nice!
mortal leaf
cricket + duck
again, placeholder values
so much of my code is becoming making common events into helper functions
sage jacinth
cricket + duck
Do you have the logic for Duck's effect?
mortal leaf
technically yea but i was too tired to test it last night
sage jacinth
technically yea but i was too tired to test it last night
I implemented a similar effect for Chicken and I'm curious how you did it. I hooked Game:start_run to add a dictionary for my mod, but I think there's gotta be a better way. (As in, a better way to add mod variables to G.)
mortal leaf
oh thats what i did
sage jacinth
I just noticed your mod is in GitHub, so I can just read your code instead of pestering you
I'll check how you used the +Chips and +Mult later. Mine work but the SFX isn't correct. Also there's maybe a better way to hook the eval function

ooo snipers course reduce score on boss

added consumable types thru balamod yay
mortal leaf
i feel like adjusting pigeon's proc condition from on sell to something else
idk what tho
i like the idea of bread crumb printing
also i think what im going to do is bring down the power of SAP pets that have temporary effects (ones that proc in battle), since (for now) everything is permanently scaling
mortal leaf
horse (feat. cricket)
also realized this is probably already the biggest mod file-size wise because i automatically generated all the sprites

baku!

Hopefully the art will be good and not just yee-arse emoji looking ones.
past crypt
Wdym the art is epic keep it that way 😎
mortal leaf
walk into wip thread
wow this art looks like shit!
calm cradle
>walk into wip thread
>wow this art looks like shit!
a placeholder is a placeholder. no shit
mortal leaf
yo im back, here's murmel (probably nerfing this one way or another)
gotta figure out how to get the upgrade pop up to display, since its a custom context i cant just return the message
and for some reason card_eval_status_text isnt working
sage jacinth
The return of the legend

@mortal leaf I remember seeing this thread awhile back and thinking it was really cool, I never would've imagined that you went to the same school
mortal leaf
yooooooo

alche medes
i think im gonna change it so that you can choose which joker you can give mana to
but ye
(if a card doesnt have mana, the tooltip wont show)
sage jacinth
what song is that
mortal leaf
idk i was just watching a twitch stream
mortal leaf
i was testing this and it took me 6 tries to get alchemedes to proc on warg instead of itself
so im just gonna not have a video 👍
needa figure out a solution for warg when it gains mana while not in a blind
probably just do nothing
maybe reduce next blind but that sounds like a pain to do
also, im probably gonna have a bunch of pool flags for these cards that require other cards to do anything
either warg doesnt show up until you buy something that can give mana, or something that gives mana doesnt show up until you buy warg
mortal leaf
having trouble thinking of an effect for barghest & other ailment related pets
either i design a debuff system for blinds or i just do something simpler
spare wind
i think im gonna change it so that you can choose which joker you can give mana ...
You could probably just do the joker to the right, or something similar to that
sage jacinth

Why would you want to debuff your own Jokers
