Ah okay, this is on me yeah. I thought that the command had a chance of spawning lucky pennies anyway. Yeah, it works. Sorry for the confusion!

@S1REN - you can very easily test this by getting the trinket and spawning in a bunch of coins via the debug console (spawn 5.20.1). Since these can only be pennies, if at least one lucky penny spawns this way, then the trinket is working.

I did a quick test with this method and out of 50 pennies, 4 were lucky pennies, meaning it's working just fine.

I did, i was suprised but i don't think it works, i could be wrong but the chance for lucky pennies to spawn seems the same.

@S1REN - did you test it? I'm pretty sure there's no reason for it not to work.

Sadly, this one does not work in repentance, atleast i'm pretty sure it doesn't.

OciXCrom™ thank you for replying me. i will try it and tell you if it works correctly

@Leon - haven't yet tested or updated my mods for Repentance but I'm pretty sure this one will work just fine since it doesn't have any major coding involved.

Hello OciXCrom™, excuse me, is this mod compatible with Repentance?
IsaacGuru  [author] 18 Jun, 2020 @ 6:20am 
@camwoodstick - the description is available in the "Discussions" tab. I'll see if the mod allows for built-in support and update this one if it does.

@OxiXCrom - ...OH. I am a dummy, I'm sorry, I meant External Item Descriptions! I get mixed up in my mods sometimes, apologies for that.
IsaacGuru  [author] 17 Jun, 2020 @ 4:31am 
@camwoodstock - are you sure you're talking about reHUD? I don't see any description displaying in that mod. Do you mean the External item descriptions mod?
Cam/Tori/Cecil/Claire/Macy 16 Jun, 2020 @ 4:42pm 
@OciXCrom - Basically, when reHud sees a modded item that doesn't have a designated reHud description, instead of properly describing its function, it'll just repeat the item's description.
IsaacGuru  [author] 16 Jun, 2020 @ 10:44am 
@camwoodstock - what kind of function scanning are you talking about? I have never used that mod and not sure how it works.
Cam/Tori/Cecil/Claire/Macy 16 Jun, 2020 @ 8:19am 
@OciXCrom - It works, but it only has a default description that's the same as the item's actual description; it won't automatically scan its function.
IsaacGuru  [author] 16 Jun, 2020 @ 4:35am 
@camwoodstock - doesn't it automatically support custom items/trinkets?
Cam/Tori/Cecil/Claire/Macy 15 Jun, 2020 @ 4:26pm 
Will you be adding reHUD compatibility?

The chance has been increased to 5% (7% with Mom's Box). Thanks for the suggestions.

it's magically delicious!

@SupremeElf - I will do a few full test runs tomorrow and see how much luck I'll end up with in the end. If it's not enough, I will increase the rate. Maybe I'll consider the idea of adding a luck multiplier as well.

I mean sure, some interactions with it will be stronger than other. Just like the game it self has items that interact in an "OP" way. The thing is in normal run, most of the times you wouldn't pick up Lucky Charm over other trinkets. Luck is not the most useful thing lets be honest (Not saying it's useless either) and 2% really just feels too low. Coin drops are not that common and even if they were, you only have a slim chance of getting a luck upgrade which might or might not help you.

Just consider it.
IsaacGuru  [author] 8 Jun, 2020 @ 6:47pm 
@Leon - trust me, 2% isn't as low as it sounds. Coin drops are very common so this chance is quite enough to get you to higher luck levels than usual on the long run. Give it try and you'll see.

Head of the Keeper usually spawns a few coins each room - it would be OP if the same rate was used for lucky pennies.

Anyways, if you want to change the drop rate, the settings are in the beginning of the main.lua file.

Thanks!

hello dude. This trinket is awesome, i really like the effect and the sprite, but i think the 2% chance is way too low for it to be useful, do you think you can increase it to 5% so it has the same drop chance as Head of the keeper and Maw of the Void please? 

and what about maybe increasing the chance to 7% when you have Mom's Box?(7 is supposed to be THE lucky number). 
Even if you do increase the drop chance from 2% to 5% but u dont increase it when you have Mom's Box, it would still be Awesome
I think it would be much better and way more useful and fair as well, and it wouldnt be broken/OP at all.
I hope you can read my comment and make this little change

Thank you for your attention :)

@SupremeElf - I think that would be overpowered with Humbling Bundle, and since that item is often found in shops, I think 2% is quite enough. I'm going to make another trinket that spawns lucky pennies when killing enemies or getting hurt.
SupremeElf 7 Jun, 2020 @ 9:46am 
Nice trinket concept! Maybe doublepack coins should have double the chance?
