#Raised Fist Strength Joker
still bolt
I'd recommend separating that one really long line of code into separate lines so it's easier to look at
have each part be its own line
doesn't affect how the code runs but just for organization's sake
then I'd put a print statement after the if raised_card == context.other_card
dapper ice
Rq, is there a quick restart key for debug+?
Also, I put it after the thing
And it works
Also, I got a royal flush while attempting to test it, so that's cool
still bolt
I believe you can do alt+f5
still bolt
is the test on line 119 being printed right now?
dapper ice
Yes
still bolt
try replacing G.play.highlighted[i] with raised_card on line 125
actually why do you have that code in a for loop?
you just want to increase the rank of one card right?
the lowest played card? or the lowest card held in hand?
or the lowest scored card?
dapper ice
the lowest played card? or the lowest card held in hand?
lowest scored
still bolt
mmk so then in lines 114-116, every time you access G.play.cards or G.hand.cards you should be using context.scoring_hand instead
that's how you get the array of scored cards
dapper ice
Crashed upon scoring
still bolt
you still need the # before context.scoring_hand on line 114
that's how you get the length of an array
so you're telling the for loop what number to start with and what number to end on
dapper ice
Did the thing, another crash
still bolt
and then in the loop, see how in the original you had [i] after G.play.cards? You still need that any time you're accessing an element from the array
dapper ice
Where do I put the [i]s
still bolt
after scoring_hand
scoring_hand is an array, which in Lua is a list of values. [1] or [2] or any number inside of [] is how you get one of the things from the awway
the number represents the position
in the array of the thing you're trying to get
so something like context.scoring_hand[1].base_id would look at the first element in the scoring_hand array (aka the leftmost scored card) and get its base_id
dapper ice
after `scoring_hand`
The ones in lines 114 and 116?
still bolt
115 and 116
dapper ice
after context.scoring_hand.base.id?
still bolt
I think you're having a really difficult time because you don't know the basic mechanics of Lua
dapper ice
after context.scoring_hand.base.id?
Do I do this though?
still bolt
context.scoring_hand[i].base_id
dapper ice
O ok thx
still bolt
and context.scoring_hand[i].ability.effect
after you're done fixing that you should probably remove the loop on line 120 and the end on line 129
otherwise it will potentially rank up the card multiple times based on how many cards were played
I'm going to be offline for a bit but I'll be back later, good luck soldier
still bolt
can you send a progress screenshot
dapper ice
The code thus far
still bolt
do we get a print
dapper ice
No
still bolt
k, so that if statement must be false
you're comparing raised_card to scoring_hand, which is asking if the card we selected is equal to the entire list of scored cards
in the previous screenshot that was context.other_card, which I honestly don't fully know what that does, but I'm guessing you got that code from somewhere?
dapper ice
I mainly ripped the code from strength and raised fist
dapper ice
it's back to other_card, now what?
still bolt
do we get a print? or an error?
still bolt
maybe let's try getting rid of that if statement and see if we can get it to work at all
and the for loop
on lines 119 and 120
dapper ice
maybe let's try getting rid of that if statement and see if we can get it to wor...
if raised_card == context.other_card then print('test');?
still bolt
yeah
dapper ice
I tried that and 3 errors appeared
still bolt
did you also delete the end
remember if statements and ends need to always match up, if you remove one you have to remove the other
dapper ice
Errors are gone now
dapper ice
Delete all of line 120?
still bolt
yes
dapper ice
And also delete return true?
still bolt
no hang on, you shouldn't be deleting anything from the e_manager stuff
just the for loop that was above the e_manager call
dapper ice
Is this good rn?
still bolt
your code is very jagged rn but I think so
dapper ice
The game crashed after scoring and the test pop-up appeared, I think we're getting somewhere
still bolt
at the top of your calculate function change
if context.after then
to
if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play
or wait
there, it should be G.play
dapper ice
There was no crash or test pop-up or ability trigger
still bolt
I'm trying to look at the code for raised fist
let's try
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
dapper ice
Didn't the crash say something about index field base?
still bolt
yeah but that was in the modify_rank function
which means it was actually getting called
but with an invalid card
but looking at how raised fist is set up, it gets called during the context.individual context
oh I see it, you're setting raised_card to context.scoring_hand instead of context.scoring_hand[i]
on line 116
dapper ice
No test text or anything
still bolt
show me the current status
still bolt
!!
dapper ice
It increases rank whenever a card is scored
although it has no affect on the played hand
the code atm
still bolt
so what is it doing that you don't want it to do?
dapper ice
It increases a rank when a card is scored, it is only supposed to increase its rank once
still bolt
oh so it increases whenever any card is scored
not just when the lowest card is scored
dapper ice
Yes
still bolt
then try putting the whole G.E_MANAGER thing (lines 119-127) inside of this if statement:
if raised_card == context.other_card then
end
Thanks for the help, I also wanna try and have it do the flipping thing that strength and the other tarot cards do
dapper ice
Although I've been at this one joker for like two days, so I wanna move onto other jokers
still bolt
not sure if it would work, but you can try putting
raised_card:flip()
before and after the event
inside the if statement
dapper ice
It didn't work quite as intended, however, the end result is honestly quite smooth either way
