Btw, I know this sounds silly, and it should be a very easy card... I cannot figure out why my Tolarian Winds won't draw cards after it has discarded my hand? =(

I don't think DiscardHand() takes a parameter but if its working, its working. Also, it should just be:

Code: Select all

EffectController():DrawCards(total)

You don't need to do the "-1". This would only fix the issue if you cast it when you had only 1 other card in hand. Other than that I don't know.

Owh yea totally forgot... after casting the Winds, only then the Hand_Count kicks in...lemme try... Thanks =)

see i dont even know what you mean by LinkedDC i can put abilites together but i get in trouble when abilites doesn't match up word for word..hard to improvise if i dont know what to improvise with. Right now im just trying to learn on the fly without looking completely dense on this stuff

It's ok . We all were new at once. For "exile target permanent" you can use the code from Brittle Effigy and tweak it to be target permanent instead of target creature.

Part of Brittle Effigy | Open

Code: Select all

      <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>
      <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
    if target ~= nil then   
       target:Exile() 
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Since you don't want target creature, replace this:

Code: Select all

filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )

with a different card that filters permanents (Avacyn, Angel of Hope turns up after searching abilities in the deck builder for "permanent"):

Code: Select all

 filter:Add( FE_IS_PERMANENT, true )

Now in your code replace everything from the <TARGET_DEFINITION> block to the </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> block with this code and you should be good to go:

Part of Ashen Rider | Open

Code: Select all

      <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:Add( FE_IS_PERMANENT, true )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>
      <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
    if target ~= nil then   
       target:Exile() 
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Hmmm... still doesn't draw... it looks easy but... confusing >.<'''

    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>


I guess you have to Set_Int BEFORE discarding hand,

try this:

Code: Select all

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    EffectDC():Set_Int( 1, EffectController():Hand_Count() )
    EffectController():DiscardHand()
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Thanks gorem2k! It works like a charm now =) With that completes cards for Urza Saga... now to another expansion =)

EDIT: How would you go about with Defense Grid's TRIGGER? I've tried many combination only to come to one close that player's spells cost 3 more to play... >.<

EDIT: Is there a way to have a prompt for user input, for cards that "Name a card" like Cabal Therapy?

For Defense Grid try this:

| Open

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1">
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[Each spell costs {3} more to cast except during its controller’s turn.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
   <TRIGGER value="CONSIDERED_FOR_CAST" pre_trigger="1">
    return TriggerPlayer():MyTurn() == false and TriggerObject():GetCardType():Test(CARD_TYPE_LAND) == false
    </TRIGGER>
   <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
      if TriggerObject() ~= nil then
         TriggerObject():IncreaseCost(3)
      end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

For "Name a card" stuff my only guess is check sumomole's mod. It looks like there is a version of Cabal Therapy in there already. It seems like "Name a card" would be very hard to do though.

Anyone has a working Auriok Steelshaper to share?

[thefiremind]

Anyone has a working Auriok Steelshaper to share?

I don't think so: we can't change costs of abilities in DotP.

Actually, if the ability is on the same card that changes its cost (like Nemesis of Mortals), the cost change could be approximated by granting one of many abilities with different costs. Doing the same for Auriok Steelshaper would be overly difficult (you would need a list of all existing equipments, each one with its equip cost, just for a start), and not worth the effort in my opinion: Puresteel Paladin is better and can be properly coded.

[jacque]

I don't think so: we can't change costs of abilities in DotP.

I had that same feeling coming... no other cards reference were available showing that it's possible to play with activated costs... I have ur Puresteel Paladin (it has to be yours if I recalled correctly)... what got me interested in that card was the +1/+1 to Soldiers AND Knights... seems quite attractive to me... xD Owh well =( Thanks though TFM!!!
