EDIT: instead of card:Reveal() I think you can use card:GuidedReveal( card:GetZone(), ZONE_HAND )

[Rari]

EDIT: instead of card:Reveal() I think you can use card:GuidedReveal( card:GetZone(), ZONE_HAND )

I tried it (as shown below) and it doesn't fix the problem

(removed for clarity)

[RiiakShiNal]

For Skirk Drill Sergeant, you had:

Code: Select all

card:PutOntoBattlefield( controller )

But, you didn't define controller, so you can either define controller before this line or replace it with EffectController()

Also currently your effects do not depend on the choice the user made as to whether to pay or not, you have omitted any checking to get the user's choice. You have also omitted the check to see if it is a goblin card in addition to being a permanent.

The code provided by gorem2k looks good, though I haven't tested it.

[Rari]

Sorry, I didn't mean that to be confusing and I appreciate the help. gorem2k's code is running into the same problem mine was (Edit: it triggers, MCs, taps proper, but does nothing).

I'd removed the secondary check for goblin and MC answer in my original code to see if was hitting a snag somewhere in there (I've been stuck with this one for a few days) but I should have shared a more "whole" version of it.

EDIT EDIT: I tried swapping out the GetSubType():Test( CREATURE_TYPE_GOBLIN ) to GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) and I'm seeing success. So ... idk what to do about that yet.

[Rari]

Thank you both very much for your input with this one!

I've added an intervening_if, just for convenience, if you don't have enough mana, it won't ask for the question. I've tried to put a CanPayManaCost inside the "return" but it would still ask the question!

Can somebody Help me out with Sekki, Seasons' Guide. Not sure what I did wrong but I can't get the replacement ability to function correctly. It either generates 100 spirits, or none. Most recently, it has been dieing to things that shouldn't kill it, (ie not enough damage).

Can somebody Help me out with Sekki, Seasons' Guide. Not sure what I did wrong but I can't get the replacement ability to function correctly. It either generates 100 spirits, or none. Most recently, it has been dieing to things that shouldn't kill it, (ie not enough damage).

you will have to change TOKEN_SPIRIT_1_1_W_F_350803 because I used the official spirit token from DotP2014. it should obviously be a 1/1 colorless non-flying spirit.

[thefiremind]

I've added an intervening_if, just for convenience, if you don't have enough mana, it won't ask for the question. I've tried to put a CanPayManaCost inside the "return" but it would still ask the question!

The problem is that this way it won't even trigger when you don't have enough mana, which might be a problem if someone plans to use the card with manual mana. The trigger condition should also be slightly different: I was making the same mistake on my Vampires, but "Whenever <this> or another <creature type>" means that if <this> loses all creature types (due to Amoeboid Changeling for example) it should still trigger. This is how I would code it:

       controller:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer("UI_CONDITIONAL_QUESTION_NO")
       controller:AskMultipleChoiceQuestion( "OPTIONAL_ABILITY_QUESTION", TriggerObject() )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local controller = EffectController()
    if controller ~= nil and controller:CanPayManaCost("{2}{R}") and controller:GetMultipleChoiceResult() == 0 then
       controller:PayManaCost("{2}{R}")
       local card = controller:Library_GetTop()
       if card ~= nil then
          if card:GetType():IsPermanent() and card:GetSubType():Test(CREATURE_TYPE_GOBLIN) then
             -- no need for guided reveal, everyone will see it on the battlefield

          else

need some help with Gomazoa. I thought about marking player in MarkForFilter but seems strange that there's only SetMarkedObjectsOnly() and NO SetMarkedPlayersOnly() existing...
After all, there's EvaluatePlayers(), so I don't even know if we can make use of marking "players".

My code here is untested, I don't even dare to test this it's all written without copy/paste from example, because I have no idea which cards to use for base idea. is making a delaydc for shuffling a good idea ?

EDIT: i think it's best to use FE_IS_BLOCKED instead of FE_IS_BLOCKING in filter_id 0.

[RiiakShiNal]

It would probably be better to use filter evaluation instead of a FILTER block, the reasons are:

• With filter evaluation you can run through all the cards being blocked in a loop, allowing you to test them all in a single RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION block.
• The EffectDC you use in a single RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION (without filter) can then be reused in the next block (again without filter).
• According to the rules all creatures should be put on the top of their owners' libraries simultaneously and the best way to simulate this in DotP is by putting them all on top of their owners' libraries in a single RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION.

You should probably avoid creating a delayed trigger here because if Gomazoa somehow becomes able to block 2 or more creatures then if it blocks two or more creatures owned by a single player then that player would end up shuffling the library two or more times when according to Gomazoa they should only shuffle once. Ultimately you're going to have to save off the owning players into a DC while making sure you don't put more than one copy of a single player in the DC then in a separate RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION (since shuffling should happen in a different action than putting the creatures on the top of the library) you loop through the players in that DC and have each of them shuffle their libraries once.

It may be possible to make limiting the players put into the DC easier by using an array keyed off of a player instance that contains the value true if the player has already been added to the DC.

[gorem2k]

Ok. thanks for the advices RiiakShiNal!

I knew this would be hard to do, but now I find it even more difficult (if I want it to be near rule-compliant). not because you explain bad but because it implies functions I'm not accustomed with.

I guess this will end up low priority , due to its sheer complexity.

EDIT: just looked to Cone of Flame, the only card that use FE_PLAYER_INSTANCE. maybe this would be a good start?
