Formal Request Thread

[Xander9009]

So, I'm trying to code Gutter Grime. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure how to adhere to the rules. If there was only one Gutter Grime, I could just search for it by name and be done with it. However, there can be multiple Gutter Grimes out, meaning I need to code in the rule so that "each token remembers which Gutter Grime created it". I've been away from coding for too long to remember how to store a created token's card pointer (if I ever knew how). I imagine I'll need to use Riiak's ObjectDC, which shouldn't be too bad, but I need to get the Gutter Grime pointer from Gutter Grime to the token. Anyone know offhand how to do that, another way to manage it, or a card which does something similar which is already coded somewhere?

The only other way I can think of would work, but it would probably be way more complicated than necessary. When a Gutter Grime triggers, set an accessible variable to 1. When a slime token is created, it searches your battlefield for a Gutter Grime, and checks the variable. Either it's still 1, in which case it uses that Gutter Grime and sets its variable to 0, or it's already 0, in which case it continues searching. (well, it would increment, not set, but same idea).

Should be similar in DotP 2014.

No idea what BindStarTokenChest does tho

Ok this is what his function does:

Code: Select all

BindStarTokenChest = function(chest, index)
-- Use this in a resolution time action on the card that creates the token(s), in order to store the index on the token(s)
   if chest ~= nil then
      local i = 0
      local token = chest:Get_NthCardPtr(0)
      while token ~= nil do
         token:GetDataChest():Set_Int(COMPARTMENT_ID_STAR_TOKEN_INDEX, index)
         i = i+1
         token = chest:Get_NthCardPtr(i)
      end
   end
end


hope that helps

[RiiakShiNal]

When you create tokens via PutTokensOntoBattlefield() you can pass it a data chest as the fourth parameter and any tokens created will be stored there. Then you can iterate through the chest and use RSN_GetObjectDC( oToken, true ) to get and create (if necessary) the ObjectDC chest which you can then put a pointer to Gutter Grime in it (from within Gutter Grime's ability itself). Then once the pointer becomes nil (after it has been set) or the number of slime counters reaches 0 the P/T of the tokens should become 0/0 and they leave play. Until the pointer has been set though you may need to temporarily give the tokens 1 toughness so they will survive long enough for the pointer to actually be set). If you don't have to temporarily set the toughness to 1 to keep them from dying then that will be more rule compliant.

[NeoAnderson]

As Riiak says this is the solution and i already used something similar when i coded Tetravus, anyway i just coded the card for you and i also tested it works fine.
Each token is related to the source card, its power and toughness are immediately updated, so it isn't needed to set it to 1 at beginning.
Obviously you need Riiak ObjectDC function.

Thanks for the tip. Obviously I didn't end up needing it, thanks to Neo. Believe it or not, I did in fact search for Gutter Grime. But I only thought to search 2014. I tend to forget modding of these games existed before that lol.

When you create tokens via PutTokensOntoBattlefield() you can pass it a data chest as the fourth parameter and any tokens created will be stored there. Then you can iterate through the chest and use RSN_GetObjectDC( oToken, true ) to get and create (if necessary) the ObjectDC chest which you can then put a pointer to Gutter Grime in it (from within Gutter Grime's ability itself).

Until the pointer has been set though you may need to temporarily give the tokens 1 toughness so they will survive long enough for the pointer to actually be set). If you don't have to temporarily set the toughness to 1 to keep them from dying then that will be more rule compliant.

I want to say I'll definitely have to keep this in mind, but at the same time, this is a really rare thing to have to do. Nonetheless, now I'll know where to look to figure it out haha. As for the dead on arrival, I was planning to create a PT token with the current number of counters, then have its ability take over and set its PT as needed.

As Riiak says this is the solution and i already used something similar when i coded Tetravus, anyway i just coded the card for you and i also tested it works fine.
Each token is related to the source card, its power and toughness are immediately updated, so it isn't needed to set it to 1 at beginning.

If you need i also find the Hq artwork and made the TDX, i also add the ooze token.

Thank you. I've actually already got the artwork and the token (I just got done making 232 of the total 252 possible tokens, so I'm definitely good there haha). Also, I saw Tetravus in the Deck Builder, but I didn't realize it had this same rule. I thought for that card it didn't matter where the tokens came from, so I didn't think to check that it.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't think about it, but the image for the token is actually also something I needed. I had the code for the token, and I had the image for the nontoken. So, the token image is also very useful

You're welcome my friend, i am glad to be useful, i would ask to you, if you can test my last implementation of MORPH ability, it is really close to a 100% of rules compliance.
You can find the topic here, also if i already made other modify to them, but i will upload another version later, start to try that one., and let me know what you think.

[Xander9009]

I made the card Xenograft, with my idea of "Name a creature type", with my implementation you type the creature_type, it is still a working progress idea, but the basic functions are working.
There are some limitations :
1. Are supported only the follow languages : English, French, Spanish, German, Italian.
2. When you type the creature type, each special character(expecially for French, Spanish and German) must be turned into basic type ( Example: ALLIÉ must be typed as ALLIE. Example : ÜBERTRÄGER must be typed as UBERTRAGER. Example : TEJÓN must be typed as TEJON). I could fix this issue but the screens with types would be increased too much. I think is a fair compromise.

Positive aspects :
1. You don't have to look the kinds into decks just type one valid kind.
2. Are simultaneously supported 5 languages, so you can type the card into your preferred language also if it is different from playing language. Sometimes the words are shorter into another language so can be easy to type Example : "Bat" : English "Pipistrello" : Italian, you can type "Bat" also if you are playing into Italian language.
3. Only valid kind are accepted otherwise the function restart.
4. On the Button "Ok" you can see what you have already typed (it changes, after each typing)

This is a terrible place for my response, but this is where the original code was, so I'm keeping the discussion here for now.

Out of curiosity, did you end up polishing this? I'm asking because if you're using it or still planning to use it, it would be nice if it tracked how many results there are for the current string and operate based on that. It would increase complexity, but it would be much easier to use while in-game. Explanation:
Goal: Dreadnaught

1. "D" - "D" - 15 results
2. "R" - "DR" - 6 results
3. "E" - "DRE" - 1 result

If there are only 5, show those five on the buttons, along with an "Restart" button. Once there is only one result, show that result (in this case, "Dreadnaught") on the OK button. This would be a LOT more user friendly if long names were shortened. Of course, you wouldn't actually need to track how many results there are in total. Just count to 6. If there are 6 or more, you can ignore the rest and continue as normal.

Also, SOLDNAR and BETE still have their accents.

Finally, I don't know if it's possible to parse a string, but if not, it would be possible to do this with a lookup table. I'm a bit obsessive compulsive, so when I decided to test the possibility of that, I ended up making the whole table. There are 4217 different combinations of characters starting from the left. That can be split into 20 tables based on length. The table has a list of each valid combination of characters, the number of results for the combination, and if the number is less than 5, then a list of cards returned by the combination.

So, for instance
A - 65
...
J - 3 - JABALI - JELLYFISH - JUGGERNAUT
...
AD - 4 - ADALID - ADDETTO AL MONTAGGIO - ADLER - ADVISOR
...
ADA - 1 - ADALID

Trimming this down so only English is shown would make it more streamlined, and I imagine the best way to do it would be to make a set of functions which are identical but are based on the various languages, then a user can install whichever they need. With only English, the number of combinations would drop from 4217 by a lot. If you want to try and incorporate it, let me know and I'll upload it. I just think it would be great if the player could just click "Next - J - Juggernaught" instead of spelling the whole thing out.

I made the card Xenograft, with my idea of "Name a creature type", with my implementation you type the creature_type, it is still a working progress idea, but the basic functions are working.
There are some limitations :
1. Are supported only the follow languages : English, French, Spanish, German, Italian.
2. When you type the creature type, each special character(expecially for French, Spanish and German) must be turned into basic type ( Example: ALLIÉ must be typed as ALLIE. Example : ÜBERTRÄGER must be typed as UBERTRAGER. Example : TEJÓN must be typed as TEJON). I could fix this issue but the screens with types would be increased too much. I think is a fair compromise.

Positive aspects :
1. You don't have to look the kinds into decks just type one valid kind.
2. Are simultaneously supported 5 languages, so you can type the card into your preferred language also if it is different from playing language. Sometimes the words are shorter into another language so can be easy to type Example : "Bat" : English "Pipistrello" : Italian, you can type "Bat" also if you are playing into Italian language.

4. On the Button "Ok" you can see what you have already typed (it changes, after each typing)

Hi Xander, this function was just an idea i got some month ago, i never finished to implement, right now i am coding the morph cards, but we could discuss to work togheter on it when if finished the code morph cards, anyway you can feel free to make modify to it if you want to start right now.
Just one thing i think is not possible to install different version of the function based on language used, because the final wad will be different for each language and the multiplayer game will not work.
You should find if there is a function to retrieve the actual language.
About the predictive is a good idea but it will increase the code complexity considering you are typing through a multiple choice functions, is not so easy to manage everything, anyway i think could be doable, as everything but the real question is if the work is justified by a large number of cards that use this function..

I didn't think about multiplayer. I never play multiplayer, so I very rarely remember some people do haha. Even so, having it predict would be very nice whether it's a single language or not. I may look into doing this. I was busy making sure all of the tokens were coded, but I finished up the 17 of the remaining 20, and the last 3 aren't possible, so I'm done with that. I'll look into it and let you know what I come up with. Although, if I end up having trouble instead of a working result, I'll probably post a new thread for it.

I was wondering if anyone could guide me in the right direction of what I'm doing wrong trying to code Binding Agony. I've been stuck on this card for the past few days trying many things without success.

1. Stick code instide [ code ] & [/ code ] tags to make it easier to read.
2. You were setting the variables, but not using them. (Probably just from testing, I know. Not a mistake, just unnecessary.)
3. Last, the one I think was the issue, you didn't end the if in the resolution. I haven't tested it, though.

I reworked it on a single line similar to Sumo's Firedrinker Satyr. Let me know if it works. If not, I'll test it and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

(This might have messed up the trigger. I put it on one line because I think it looks a lot cleaner, but I don't remember for sure if && will short-circuit or not.)

Lua does short-circuit, but the syntax is wrong: you need to write "and", not "&&".

Thanks a lot guys for the help.
Xander, I tried your method but the card stopped showing up in the test deck. I did an XML Validation and it came up with:

return EffectSource() ~= nil &"error"& TriggerObject() == EffectSource():GetParent()

with the error: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

Yeah, TFM just pointed that out as well. My bad. To be fair, I DID admit I might have messed that up haha.
