@violet wind moving this convo here, btw

[violet wind]

yup

I'll try to modify my forced message a little I think to do that

[winter nest]

you might also want to throw in a specifier or something, you shouldn't have to but you might want to specify sth like not (context.before or context.after)

[violet wind]

okay editing forced message didn't achieve anything

I think I already tried using return before but it did the same thing

[winter nest]

hm, try specifiers?

[violet wind]

which exactly?

[winter nest]

one thing which sucks about SMODS rn is that it's completely divorced from that long conditional tower that thunk built in card.lua

So a lot of the time you're missing like, 3 excluded contexts

not (context.before or context.after)

[violet wind]

okay I think I got it

I modified the return of wee joker

[winter nest]

nice

[winter nest]

and now it works?

[violet wind]

the color is yellow tho??

I think I need to specify it in extra

[winter nest]

specify in extra yes

extra is really weird for like

message returns

theoretically you could get away with an eval_text here

[violet wind]

everything is flawless now

[winter nest]

because you're not actually setting any chips or mult here

[violet wind]

thank you very much!

[winter nest]

card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_plus_tarot'), colour = G.C.PURPLE})

here's an example card_eval_status_text

it does basically sameish thing, just with less fluff and can be triggered anywhere

that 'extra' means the message is ran in the extra context

like what you're doing in the return

Hmm… I wonder if card_eval_status_text with focus=self is what I could use for a Joker that procs on playing cards but affects itself
