var_math

var_math

A dictionary with the key of "var_math" can be passed to both the "a" and "b" variables of a comparison, as well as an effect's "diff" variable.

The Dictionary will eventually become a number. The number will be based on the key/value pairs within the Array.

For example, let's say this is part of an effect on a symbol:

"diff": {"starting_value": 6, "var_math": [{"*": "times_coins_given"}, {"/": "times_displayed"}], "round": true}

diff will be equal to 6, multiplied by the number of times the symbol has given 1 coin or more, divided by the number of times the symbol has appeared. The final result will be rounded up.

Variables

The following are the variables that can be passed to the Dictionary:

Dictionary Variables

Type	Variable	Notes
Array	var_math	An Array of Dictionaries. The dictionaries must contain one of the following keys as the first key in the dictionary: "+", "-", "*", or "/"
Multiple	starting_value	The value that will be modified by the key/value pairs in the var_math Array. 0 by default. Can be passed an Int/Float, or a String which will be replaced with the variable with the same name as the String.
Bool	target_self	If true, the starting_value will check for replacement variables on the originating symbol/item. Useful if the effect containing this Dictionary is applied to a symbol/item other than the originating one.
Bool	abs	If true, the resulting value will be its absolute value.

var_math Variables

The following are the variables that can be passed to the var_math Array:

Type	Variable	Notes
Multiple	+	A value to be added. Can be passed an Int/Float, or a String which will be replaced with the variable with the same name as the String.
Multiple	-	A value to be subtracted. Can be passed an Int/Float, or a String which will be replaced with the variable with the same name as the String.
Multiple	*	A value to be multiplied. Can be passed an Int/Float, or a String which will be replaced with the variable with the same name as the String.
Multiple	/	A value to be divided. Can be passed an Int/Float, or a String which will be replaced with the variable with the same name as the String.
Bool	target_self	If true, the +, -, *, or / will check for replacement variables on the originating symbol/item. Useful if the effect containing this Dictionary is applied to a symbol/item other than the originating one.
Bool	abs	If true, the resulting value will be its absolute value.

Keep in mind that these keys will be read from left to right, and will ignore the algebraic order of operations.

rand_num Variables

rand_num is a Dictionary that can be passed to +, -, *, /, or starting_value which will be replaced with a random number.

The following are the variables that can be passed to the rand_num Dictionary:

Type	Variable	Notes
Int/Float	min	The minimum value that the random number generator can roll.
Int/Float	max	The maximum value that the random number generator can roll.
Bool	floor	If true, the resulting number will be reduced to the nearest integer.
Bool	ceil	If true, the resulting number will be increased to the nearest integer.
Bool	round	If true, the resulting number will be rounded up to the nearest integer.

Keep in mind the random number will have numbers past the decimal point if you don't use floor, ceil, or round.

Symbol Variables

The following are the variables that can replace the String in +, -, *, /, or starting_value if the effect targets a symbol:

• Every value listed under Symbol Variables

• Every value listed under Comparisons - "a" variables that doesn't specify "Item Exclusive."

Item Variables

The following are the variables that can replace the String in +, -, *, /, or starting_value if the effect targets an item:

• Every value listed under Item Variables

• Every value listed under Comparisons - "a" variables that doesn't specify "Cannot be used on Items."

Caveats

The following variables must be passed as a dictionary to +, -, *, /, or starting_value:

Type	Variable	Notes
Int	counted_symbols	For example, the following will be equal to the total number of Emeralds minus 5: {"starting_value": {"counted_symbols": "emerald"}, "var_math": [{"-": 5}]}
Multiple	saved_values	For example, the following will be equal to the 4th value in the saved_values Array times 2: {"starting_value": {"saved_values": {"value_num": 3}}, "var_math": [{"*": 2}]}
