xmult on stone card destroy

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

so far all i have rn for the code is just
calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then return { } end end
so where in there would the SMODS.has_enhancement(removed_card, "m_stone") go? would that go in place of the "if and not then" line or would that go in the area between it & return

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:45 AM

#

you'll need to do what canio does and use a for loop to check each of the removed cards

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:45 AM

#

so that
for _, removed_card in ipairs(context.removed) do if removed_card:is_face() then face_cards = face_cards + 1 end end
section?

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:45 AM

#

yep

#

and then you can replace the removed_card:is_face() part with the has_enhancement thing

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:46 AM

#

i see, okay

#

what would i do about that "face_cards = face_cards + 1" part?

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:47 AM

#

yeah I was just about to say, see how on line 4760 they create a local variable to count the number of face cards destroyed? you'll need that too

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

OH i do see that

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

but you can rename it to stone_cards or something

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

i see i see

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

if you rename it you'll have to replace it everywhere face_cards is used

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

so literally the whole
if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then local face_cards = 0 for _, removed_card in ipairs(context.removed) do if removed_card:is_face() then face_cards = face_cards + 1 end end if face_cards > 0 then card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + face_cards * card.ability.extra.xmult_gain return { message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } } } end
section can just be "stone_cards" replaced, plus the replacement of the has_enhancement thing

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:49 AM

#

I mean your card is basically canio for stone cards

#

so it makes sense

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:50 AM

#

yeah thats the idea lol

#

ill give it a try to see if i can get the rest of the way

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:50 AM

#

you'll also need that bit at the end so that the joker actually applies its xmult during scoring, otherwise it'll just increase it and never get scored lol

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:50 AM

#

OH only one more question. how do i get the mult live-updating in the description?

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:51 AM

#

so that gets into localization

#

have you set up a localization file yet

#

how much have you made for your mod so far

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:52 AM

#

i have my assets & src folders, my json and my lua, i forgot to make my localization one tho

#

getting it made rn

#

okay folder & file made

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

so here's the template they have for jokers on the wiki

return {
    descriptions = {
        -- this key should match the set ("object type") of your object,
        -- e.g. Voucher, Tarot, or the key of a modded consumable type
        Joker = {
            -- this should be the full key of your object, including any prefixes
            j_mod_joker = {
                name = 'Name',
                text = {
                    'This is the first line of this description',
                    'This is the second line of this description',
                },
                -- only needed when this object is locked by default
                unlock = {
                    'This is a condition',
                    'for unlocking this card',
                },
            },
            -- multiple description box example
            j_mod_multi_joker = {
                name = 'Name',
                text = {
                    {
                       'First line of box 1',
                       'Second line of box 1',
                    },
                    {
                       'First line of box 2',
                       'Second line of box 2',
                    }
        }
            },
        },
    },
}

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:56 AM

#

yeah i did see that much

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:56 AM

#

a very important thing to know about how your mod's data is stored internally is that any time you need your (joker/enhancement/edition/etc)'s key, what you actually put is something like j_modprefix_key

#

the j_ says this key belongs to a joker, modprefix is whatever you put in the mod json, and then key is whatever you put for key = in your joker

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:57 AM

#

yeah i saw that too :] thank you though

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:57 AM

#

(things like consumables and enhancements and everything else use something other than j_)

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:58 AM

#

so since my key is set to "rgrt", my full key for that joker (since its internal name is 'mach') would be 'j_rgrt_mach'?

#

or would it just be rgrt_mach

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:58 AM

#

west falcon so since my key is set to "rgrt", my full key for that joker (since its internal...

this one

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:58 AM

#

gotcha!

#

last thing i need to figure out before i work on my own, is how to do the live-updating mult description

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

right

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

is that gonna use the "#1#" thing?

old igloo May 12, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

yeah

west falcon May 12, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

i seeeee i see okay

old igloo May 12, 2025, 4:00 AM

#

and those get filled in by the loc_vars function on your joker
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

#

(which there is an example of in that canio code)

west falcon May 12, 2025, 4:02 AM

#

excellent. time to test this before i go to bed

#

well that aint a good sign

#

...wait that's in my main mod file lua wtf

#

it didnt have any issues beforehand, and i didnt edit it since then
hm

#

genuinely no clue whats causing this 😔

#

i gotta get ready for bed since i do have work in the morning but i will post my code for both the joker itself & its localization

#

#

made them actually readable hopefully

#

oh i think i see at least one thing i screwed up

#

wait nvm nope. im still lost lmao

old igloo May 12, 2025, 4:59 AM

#

west falcon well that aint a good sign

can you show the main mod file when you get the chance?

west falcon May 12, 2025, 4:59 AM

#

the “regretevator.lua” file mentioned? yeah one sec

#

regretevator.lua (this is mostly stitched together from what i found in another joker mod, but it wasn't giving me issues till i started messing with mach's functionality)


to_number = to_number or function(x)
    return x
end

contains = function(table, item)
    for k, v in pairs(table) do
        if v == item then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end```

all good, and i solved the problems with pseudo's help!

#

i got Mach working!

#

buffed the 1.5 to 2 since stone cards are hard to come by

#

but otherwise this screenshot is accurate

#

and she functions!

old igloo May 13, 2025, 2:21 AM

awesome, glad to hear it

west falcon May 13, 2025, 2:21 AM

i credited you and pseudo at the end of the joker code for all yalls help btw

#

i will be doing that for everyone who helps me directly like yall have

old igloo May 13, 2025, 2:21 AM
