02. Blind Definitions

Definition Documentation

Use Blind definitions to specify how a Blind behaves. Right now, it's used to check if a poker hand triggers the Blind for Matador, but it might have extra uses in the future.

Define a new Blind as follows:

local jd_blind_def = JokerDisplay.Blind_Definitions

jd_blind_def["bl_prefix_key"] = {
    -- Definition
}

A Blind definition is composed by the following values (all of them optional):

• trigger_function: (function) This function checks if the Blind gets triggered by the current playing hand.
