SMODS.DrawStep

This class offers a standardized way of drawing sprites and shaders on cards instead of having to rely on patching Card:draw().

• Required parameters:

  • key

  • order: Sets an order for this step. All draw steps are executed in order from lowest to highest. Refer to src/card_draw.lua in Steamodded’s source code for the order values of base draw steps.

  • func(card, layer): Handles the drawing logic of this DrawStep.

    • card is the card being drawn.

    • layer is one of 'card', 'shadow', 'both'.

• Optional parameters (defaults):

  • layers = { both = true, card = true }: Determines which values of the layer argument this DrawStep should be executed for. Unless you are defining custom types of layers and calling Card:draw() with them, you should only ever need to change this to { both = true, shadow = true } when you are drawing a shadow.

  • conditions = {}: Defines additonal conditions for when this draw step should or shouldn’t run. This table accepts the following keys:

    • vortex = <bool>: Checks for a vortex property of the drawn card. This is true only for splash cards on the game’s splash screen.

    • facing: Checks for the facing direction of the card. Valid values are 'front' and 'back'.

  • prefix_config, dependencies (reference)
