I'm still working on the rest cards, but the progress is a little bit slow...

Thanks to thefiremind, I used his functions in the mod, they are really awesome!

First of all, good to see another modder here.

012 - Frontline Medic (the counter ability is not implemented because I couldn't find a way to determine whether is included in target spell's mana cost)
014 - Guardian of the Gateless (the ability to block any number of creatures is not implemented because I can't find a way to do so, it seems that DotP2013 does not support such action)

You are right on those 2 cards. Nothing can be done for blocking more than one creature. About Frontline Medic, there's a COLOUR_X constant that seems to exist for this particular need, but the game doesn't use it. A possible solution would be to give this "virtual color" to the right cards ourselves, but this would mean editing all the existing cards with in their mana costs, and even after that, I'm not sure about the consequences. Another solution would be to give the target filter a list of card names that have in their mana costs, so that the ability can counter them, but this would mean updating the card each time a new "X-card" is coded.

025 - Smite (this card is totally unimplemented cuz I couldn't find a way to filter only the blocked creatures)

According to this list, there's a SetBlockVictim function for the filter but there are no examples of its usage, maybe it isn't even made for cases like Smite. Luckily, we have the second best DotP2013 invention after the delayed triggers: filter evaluation. I would make the target definition for Smite like this:

Code: Select all

    <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    MTG():ClearFilterMarkedObjectsInZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
    filter:AddExtra( FILTER_EXTRA_CREATURE_ATTACKING ) -- if it's not attacking, it can't be blocked, right?
    local filter_count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
    if filter_count &gt; 0 then
       for i=0,filter_count-1 do
          local candidate = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
          if candidate:IsBlocked() ~= 0 then
             candidate:MarkForFilter()
          end
       end
    end
    filter:SetMarkedObjectsOnly()
    filter:SetHint( HINT_ENEMY_ONLY, EffectController() )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>

I think SetBlockVictim is a leftover from DotP 2010, but even from back then there are no usage examples so I am unsure what it was designed for.

Thanks a lot!! I'll update Smite asap then post it alone or in the next update

Thank you All for these wonderful scripts. I am almost done with Consuming Aberration but Im not sure how to make it effect all opponents can some one take a look? its almost done but atm it targets only a single player and its P/T is equal all cards in all graves. Sorry i cant post the code here is a zip..

[thefiremind]

For power/toughness you should add to the filter:

Code: Select all

    filter:SetControllersTeam( EffectController():GetTeam() )
    filter:AddExtra( FILTER_EXTRA_FLIP_TEAM )

I know that "controller" shouldn't have a meaning for cards in graveyards, but Chancellor of the Spires uses this for selecting a card in an opponent's graveyard, so it should work.

For the other ability, it's not a targetted ability so TARGET_DEFINITION, TARGET_DETERMINATION and PLAY_TIME_ACTION blocks should be totally removed. The RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION should iterate over opponents first, much like Exsanguinate:

Code: Select all

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local currentTeam = EffectController():GetTeam()
    for i=0,MTG():GetNumberOfPlayers()-1 do
       local currentPlayer = MTG():GetNthPlayer(i)
       if currentPlayer ~= nil and currentPlayer:GetTeam() ~= currentTeam then
          local card = currentPlayer:Library_GetNth(0)
          while card ~= nil do
             card:PutInGraveyard()
             if card:GetCardType():Test(CARD_TYPE_LAND) == 0 then
                 card = currentPlayer:Library_GetNth(0)
             else
                card = nil
             end
          end
        end
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

(I also cleaned up the inner iteration a bit.)

Thank You just tested it in 2HG works perfect. I also tested it with the new Cipher code with Paranoid Delusions and it seems the exiled spell doesn't trigger the Consuming Aberration effects. Talrand produces drakes from the exiled spells with Panoptic Mirror maybe Cipher should use this effect to?

Use "player:CopySpellAndCastIt(spell)" instead of "player:CopySpellWithNewTargets(spell)".

[sumomole]

but this would mean editing all the existing cards with in their mana costs, and even after that

I've done this foolish work in my mod, including the name of more than 200 cards.

I have a partial idea for a solution about the blocking part that can enable you to block multiples (if it's something that can be coded, I don't know squat about programming) but will be slightly problematic with the damage type. You give the creature the ability during the before declare blockers step to spawn 0/1 block tokens (maybe through a window to pick X to spawn right before the end of the end of the gap before choose blockers step and make sure to have it force you to go to the choose blockers step unless you have another creature with the same effect to avoid loops) that have split second upon entering the field to avoid soul sister fun, have them have the ability to get sacrificed as soon as a card is played to avoid crap like might of the masses and to redirect all damage they are dealt to the card that spawned them and according to if it has first strike or double strike or not give the creature the ability to deal 1 damage times equal to it's power to any number or eligible targets (them being creatures blocked by block tokens) and have the damage be considered combat (you should also make sure you give this ability the power to get past shroud and hexproof, this allows you to to block multiples and deal the damage to the blocked creatures as you wish, only problem I can see is with trample but I am sure you guys can think of a way to get it to work. I know it's a complicated wall of text but it's the only way I can think to make this possible.

This poses multiple problems (just to name a few):

• When the 0/1 tokens come into play they would trigger cards like Soul Warden, AEther Flash, etc....
• When you "sacrifice" them it would trigger cards like It That Betrays, Algae Gharial, Blade of the Bloodchief, etc....
• It does not take Deathtouch into account or abilities that trigger on blocking. Thicket Basilisk, Inferno Elemental, etc....
• You can't forcibly move the player to a step.
• Other cards on the playing field could alter the tokens Power which could prove problematic. (Like Crusade, Coat of Arms, etc....)
• Equipment on the creature with the ability like Pennon Blade would also be very problematic.
• Trample does pose a problem as well (as you already mentioned).

[BETenner]

Just hope DotP2014 would implement this!

[sumomole]

This is the GTC DLC mod for DotP2013 (still updating)

If evolve triggers, the stat comparison will happen again when the ability tries to resolve. If neither stat of the new creature is greater, the ability will do nothing.

I saw your evolve code, you forget to check it when the ability resolve.
