Card Upgrades

Card.slime_upgrade

Card Upgrades are a new feature added by slimeutils. that allows the player to turn cards into different cards when a condition is met.

First, add this slime_upgrade table to the card's Center class. (SMODS.Joker, SMODS.Enhancement, etc), and then you can start adding to it.

• Parameters:

  • card: The key of the card it'll turn into once upgraded. (eg: j_joker)
  • (Optional) bypass_lock = false: Whether the card can upgrade while the target card is locked.
  • (Optional) loc_key: The localization key to use.
    • The default is "slime_upgr_"..card_key (eg: slime_upgr_j_joker)
    • Upgrade localization tables are found in descriptions.Other

• Methods:

  • can_use(self, card): Returns whether the upgrade is usable.
  • (Optional) loc_vars(self, card) (reference)
    • Doesn't have an info_queue argument like standard loc_vars functions
    • Is only the vars list found in a standard loc_vars table.
  • (Optional) calculate(self, card): Code that runs when the upgrade ends. Does not have context checks.
  • (Optional) values(self, card): card.ability.extra entries to overwrite in the new card
    • Values not listed keep their original values
    • Returns a table of entries like this:

return {
    mult = card.ability.extra.mult * 2,
    chips = 4
}
