Formal Request Thread

You may have issues trying to get Staff of Domination to work simply because I think the upper limit on simultaneous usable activated abilities on a card is 4 and Staff of Domination needs 5. All of the abilities on Staff of Domination are obviously possible to make though (they are all pretty simple). You may be able to fake it by combining two abilities into a single activated ability with a MODE that uses CanPayManaCost() and PayManaCost() to get around the limit for number of usable activated abilities.

I remember this problem exists in 2012 (or 2013, I can't remember), but 2014 has no problem.

Hi guys, me again.

Can someone code these cards?

Goblin Welder
Metalworker
Kuldotha Forgemaster
Staff of Domination
Gamble
Sphere of Resistance
Spellskite(Not necessary, but usable)

With them MUD(Metalworker) will be possible to play
(Sorry for the consecutive/massive requests)

I just made the first one :

I can confirm what sumomole said i have a test card Chrome mox boost with 10 activable abilities.

[sumomole]

I just made the first one :

Goblin Welder's ability has two targets, you have to use TARGET_DEFINITION rather than RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION to choose them. I think this is a simple effect that dosen't need delay triggered ability, you can put Sacrificeand and PutOntoBattlefield in activated ability.
PS: I think you understand the meaning of dependency="1". if not, look CONE_OF_FLAME_337849.XML and EVANGELIZE_365873.XML.

Thanks Sumomole,
Yeah you're right i think Target definition will be more compliant to the card ability.
But i am not sure about the other part.

Code: Select all

filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_ARTIFACT )       
    local first_card = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
    if first_card ~= nil then
      filter:Add( FE_OWNER, OP_IS, first_card:GetPlayer() )

The card ability says : Choose target artifact a player controls and target artifact card in that player’s graveyard. If you use FE_OWNER, don't you get the pointer to the owner of the card? If yes here is needed the pointer to the actual controller.

2. I use a delayed trigger just because the ability text says "If both targets are still legal as this ability resolves," For this reason i made the trigger so when the ability resolve the trigger can apply the effect. I think should be different if you consider an ability going to resolve and whe an ability resolve.

3. About Target Dependency it should be linked to the indexed target right?

I remember this problem exists in 2012 (or 2013, I can't remember), but 2014 has no problem.

I can confirm what sumomole said i have a test card Chrome mox boost with 10 activable abilities.

I could have sworn I saw a problem with the number of activated abilities in DotP 2014, though maybe the problem I encountered had some other conditions to it. Regardless, if you have been able to get 10 activated abilities to work then there should be no problem with making Staff of Domination.

2. I use a delayed trigger just because the ability text says "If both targets are still legal as this ability resolves," For this reason i made the trigger so when the ability resolve the trigger can apply the effect. I think should be different if you consider an ability going to resolve and whe an ability resolve.

It should not be a delayed trigger the text there just means that at the beginning of the RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION you need to check to make sure that both targets are still valid (not nil) then sacrifice and return to the battlefield all in the same action (same action is as close to simultaneous as we can get). So it is better not to use a delayed trigger here.

Yeah should be easy to make it. The abilities are not complex.

Ok thanks guys, for the clarification, i made it so just to be sure, sometimes the MTG text is a bit ambiguous.

About this card i would say my first version was using DiscardRandomCard() function but i don't know why it doesn't work everytime, sometimes it was missing the to discard!
Here the part of the code of the first version :

Code: Select all

<RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local player = EffectController()
    if player ~= nil then
       player:DiscardRandomCard()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Here you can find the download, the picture is poor quality i haven't find a better one.

I'm pretty sure Spellskite is not possible as I don't think there is any way to force a single target to become a specific card and I don't think there is any way to allow changing of only one target on a given spell. Obviously changing targets on abilities is not possible as we aren't even able to counter abilities much less mess with them.

Riiak i was thinking about this situation and i would ask you some questions,

1. The single target should be possible to change or i think so i have seen this card : Swerve it is coded and it is referred just to the spell who has a single target. Am i wrong?

2. Is completely tested that is not possible to change targets from abilities?
I was thinking about this solution but i really don't know if could work :
a. Using the triggers BECAME_TARGET_OF_ABILITY and BECAME_TARGET_OF_SPELL
These triggers return as secondary object the card or the spell who is targetting the card.
b. retrieve the datachest of secondary object with SecondaryObject():GetDataChest()
c. choose an item from the chest with ChooseItemFromDC
d. set the new target into this data chest saving the new pointer overwriting the ChoosedItemFromDC pointer.

Obviously if this idea could be realized there still some other things to adjust.
For example this is a trigger condition and make it work with an activated ability require to work with datachest.
Spellskite case, we use this trigger to save each targets and card who is targetting into an RSN_Object chest, when we activate the ability we retrieve the info of current targeted cards from the RSN_Object chest.

This is just an idea but i would know your opinion and also TheFireMind, Somomole, and other friends

[RiiakShiNal]

1. The single target should be possible to change or i think so i have seen this card : Swerve it is coded and it is referred just to the spell who has a single target. Am i wrong?

Wrong. Swerve is coded so that you only have to worry about spells with only one target. Spellskite, however, can affect spells with more than one target, but only allows the changing of one target so you can't use ChooseNewTargets() which is the only way to change a spell's targets. And even then that doesn't cover changing a specific target to Spellskite.

2. Is completely tested that is not possible to change targets from abilities?
I was thinking about this solution but i really don't know if could work :
a. Using the triggers BECAME_TARGET_OF_ABILITY and BECAME_TARGET_OF_SPELL
These triggers return as secondary object the card or the spell who is targetting the card.
b. retrieve the datachest of secondary object with SecondaryObject():GetDataChest()
c. choose an item from the chest with ChooseItemFromDC
d. set the new target into this data chest saving the new pointer overwriting the ChoosedItemFromDC pointer.

No, it hasn't been completely tested, but again you can't change just one target because ChooseNewTargets() only works on all targets. Also you still can't overcome the problem of changing just one specific target to Spellskite. GetDataChest() does not work as expected as a real ObjectDC() no longer exists so it returns nil.

This change was made for the "fantasy flavour" of the game.

PS: Don't know if this could help, but here's the code of Skeletal Scrying for DotP 2013 (written by Sumomole).

Well, sumomole probably knows better, but there's something that worries me about this card: can the game prevent you from choosing a value for that is higher than the cards in your graveyard? I'm afraid it can't.

Yes, it can't be coded in 2013, but 2014 could, use depends_on_X = "1" (WAVE_OF_INDIFFERENCE_348532).

Hey Sumomole, you're right but i have encountered a problem.
The depends_on_X works only into Target block?
Because i tried to use it into Cost block to make the additional cost but it cannot limit the X value.

Probably it cannot be used into an Utility ability.
I made a working card but there is a formal mistake because the exiled card are not a cost but an effect.
I left the utility block useless. Any idea how to fix this?

if depends_on_X can only be used in target, we can make a "at_random"+"not_targeted"+"depends_on_X" target to limit X, and additional cost can be coded as usual.
EDIT: In target definition, you'd better add filter:Add( FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, EffectSource() ), because the card may be cast from graveyard.

Ok I have to admit my ignorance, i understand your suggestion about the filter:Add( FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, EffectSource() ),
But about the other tags you suggest to use i cannot understand how to use them.

Are you suggesting to make a fake Target block into main spell, just to limit the X upper limit and make a generic additional cost to exile the cards?

Ok i got it, I can confirm it works, as i was supposing, at_random (select random targets), not_targeted (hide targets selection) so in this way we hide the targetting action and at same way we can use depends_on_X to limit the X cost.
Thanks my friend it will be useful for future coding.
