Counting Bag v2

Counting Bag version 2

Can take values from several different places (see Lua script for details), in this order:
1. variable in item's Lua script *state* (i.e. onSave() JSON)
2. variable in name
3. variable in description
4. value listed in the itemValues table in bag's Lua, based on item's name or description
5. variable in item's Lua script *text*
6. total value of item's contents (if any), if item is a deck or bag

The variables are "value", "cost", "price", or "coin", in the format e.g. Value: -341.50.

You can add other variable names if you want. For Lua save state (JSON), it's upper, lower, or title case; for everything else, it's case insensitive.

It knows the specific item values "penny" (1), "nickel" (5), "dime" (10), and "quarter" (25); you can easily add more, just edit the list in the bag's code.

It works with negative and decimal values too, for all of those.

The Counting Bag itself has a value, but it has full recursion, even if the thing you put in isn't a Counting Bag! (Note, however, that it only tries to count the value of stuff inside a container — which includes a deck — if it doesn't first find a value on the container itself.)

It accepts the variable negate_value_if_flipped - or "canasta" by default - which, if set to true, will make the item's value negated if it's flipped over when added to the bag. Thanks to The Manx Turtle for that, and for the custom Canasta deck included in the mod. :-)

It works with stacks and with multiple object drop-in.

All of these variants are demonstrated in the mod's setup. Try it out.



As a bonus, it fixes duplicated GUIDs on entry. This is common if you e.g. get coins from infinite bags, as in the demo here. The new token you pull from the infinite token dispenser has the same GUID every time (blame TTS). This will conflict with the other items already in the bag. This is why it spits them out briefly to re-set the GUID.

The bag has save state, though mainly as a speedup convenience. It will always recalculate the value inside when it's loaded.
