Dynamic Variables

Dynamic Variables

In the base game, cards use values such as !D! or !M! to display numbers on cards. If you find yourself wanting to put a number onto your card, but none of the base game dynamic variables (!D!, !M!, !B!) work for you or are already in use, then you can create your own dynamic variable.

Example

public class MyVariable extends DynamicVariable
{
    @Override
    public String key()
    {
        return "myKey"; 
        // What you put in your localization file between ! to show your value. Eg, !myKey!.
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isModified(AbstractCard card)
    {
        return myBoolean;
        // Set to true if the value is modified from the base value.
    }

    @Override
    public void setIsModified(AbstractCard card, boolean v)
    {
        // Do something such that isModified will return the value v.
        // This method is only necessary if you want smith upgrade previews to function correctly.
    }

    @Override
    public int value(AbstractCard card)
    {
        return myInt;
        // What the dynamic variable will be set to on your card. Usually uses some kind of int you store on your card.
    }

    @Override
    public int baseValue(AbstractCard card)
    {
        return myInt;
        // Should generally just be the above.
    }

    @Override
    public boolean upgraded(AbstractCard card)
    {
        return myBoolean;
        // Should return true if the card was upgraded and the value was changed
    }

This is then registered in receiveEditCards.

BaseMod.addDynamicVariable(new MyVariable());
