Card Contributions

[swordshine]

Recent scripted cards are used in Commander decks. I fixed a bug in ComputerUtilCost (ai reset activating player when choosing targets) and added some code to support "targets of an opponent's choice he or she controls". So Arena and friends are scriptable now. The remaining work is ai support. I don't think ai is able to handle Arena, so it might be marked unplayable for ai.

elcnesh, do you have access to the Forge Remaining spreadsheet? When you add cards in the future can you just strike them through, so we can keep track of which categories of cards we have remaining? If not, I'll send you a link.

[elcnesh]

I have read-only access. Could you give me write access? That'd probably be easiest. Thanks!

tiny fix about Scholar of Athreos
need to change "Defined$ Opponent" to "Defined$ Player.Opponent" because it does hit all opponents and not only one, otherwise it does only damage to one opponent and thats wrong

Code: Select all

Name:Scholar of Athreos
ManaCost:2 W
Types:Creature Human Cleric
PT:1/4
A:AB$ LoseLife | Cost$ 2 B | Defined$ Player.Opponent | LifeAmount$ 1 | SubAbility$ DBGainLife | SpellDescription$ Each opponent loses 1 life. You gain life equal to the life lost this way.
SVar:DBGainLife:DB$ GainLife | Defined$ You | LifeAmount$ AFLifeLost
SVar:AFLifeLost:Number$0
SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/scholar_of_athreos.jpg
Oracle:{2}{B}: Each opponent loses 1 life. You gain life equal to the life lost this way.

I believe Swordshine already took care of this yesterday.

OK, I'll try my hand with Reef Worm, based on Mitotic Slime.

Code: Select all

Would this work?

[elcnesh]

When looking through the remaining cards, I noticed Fatespinner is not yet implemented... Is that AI consideration or something else? I think it should be easy to implement it using a GenericChoice, although AI support would be problematic. Though we could set it to random for the time being...

First attempt at scripting for Forge. Seems to be working okay, although I don't know if the damage's source is supposed to change. Redirected deathtouch damage does not kill atm.

Code: Select all

Name:Kor Chant
ManaCost:2 W
Types:Instant
A:SP$ Effect | Cost$ 2 W | Name$ Kor Chant Effect | ReplacementEffects$ RPreventFromSource | SVars$ RPreventFromSource,DamageCreatureInstead,X | ValidTgts$ Creature.YouCtrl | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature you control | RememberObjects$ Targeted | SpellDescription$ All damage that would be dealt this turn to target creature you control by a source of your choice is dealt to another target creature instead.
SVar:RPreventFromSource:Event$ DamageDone | ValidTarget$ Card.IsRemembered | ReplaceWith$ DamageCreatureInstead | PreventionEffect$ True | Description$ The next time the chosen source deals damage to you, prevent that damage.
SVar:DamageCreatureInstead:DB$ DealDamage | ValidTgts$ Creature | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature | NumDmg$ X | References$ X
SVar:X:ReplaceCount$DamageAmount
Oracle:All damage that would be dealt this turn to target creature you control by a source of your choice is dealt to another target creature instead.

Cool! Actually, there's about 20 cards of that form I thought weren't scriptable... Is there something we're missing about these kind of cards?

Yea, the damage source should still be the same. Maybe try it with: DamageSource$ ReplacedSource

Although I'm not sure this script is quite right. When you cast Kor Chant (and it's cousin Kor Dirge), you have to target the creature you are protecting, the source of the damage, and the creature to redirect the damage to. If I'm reading the script correctly, you are only targeting the protected creature on casting, and targeting the redirected creature during the replacement effect. And I Don't see anything that selects the damage source (like what you see on Circles of Protection)

[elcnesh]

How about having the effect remember (a) the damaged creature, (b) the damage source and (c) the target to redirect it to? Might need some coding to handle three different kinds of remembering objects though.

[krimsen]

You're right, I read the rules text sloppily.

The way remembering works is not documented (or I didn't find that part). From looking at the code, I got that it is a list, though I haven't figured out if it's shared between an Ability and its SubAbilities, and if you can address elements of that list by index or name. If so, this should be doable.

[elcnesh]

It is a list, and it's tied to the card (or effect in this case), so it's shared between all abilities. It's not accessible by index, however, which is why some additional code is necessary here. Normally we could use Imprint as a second remembered list, but now we need three. Maybe ChosenCard? Would become a bit ugly, but it might work

[krimsen]

Sounds messy indeed. I'll take another shot at this sometime next week.

[mastroego]

This would allow even cards like Harm's Way, right?

Well, for what is worth, you have my support
