Grant it pseudo-flash like you were saying. Give it a triggered ability that triggers when it's cast and it is NOT one of your main phases. In that triggered ability, start a delayed trigger which triggers on the cleanup step. In that triggered ability, force it to be sacrificed. I don't think you need to protect the pointer since it only triggers itself, but because it's changing zones this might not work. However, I'm pretty sure it will because I'm fairly sure changing zones is only a problem for referring to other cards.

I would have a look at Crumbling Colossus.

Remember that there's a shorter way to check for sorcery time:

Code: Select all

EffectController():IsSorceryTime()

returns true when it's sorcery time for the effect controller (for this scenario you check for it being false).

I don't recall seeing that (probably did, but I don't remember it).

Also, it's worth noting that the rules for Armor of Thorns states that if it's cast through some other effect such as Vedalken Orrery granting it flash, then it is not sacrificed. I don't know of a way to prevent that. Hopefully it's rare enough to not matter a great deal.

This is interesting, I would have thought it didn't matter if you cast it through its own ability or through other means. I would consider searching for a solution similar to the official Qasali Ambusher, where there's a UTILITY_ABILITY with ignore_timing="1" that allows players to cast it as though it had flash... the problem is that Qasali Ambusher's ability is an alternative cost but Armor of Thorns' is not, so I wouldn't know where to put the creation of the delayed trigger.

Can someone help with Deflecting Palm? I haven't been able to find it or any cards similar to it. Thanks.

I have coded it inside khans set, but i still have to finish the testing phase i think i can release the set tomorrow, i also have to write the morph localized text, hope to have enough time to do it.

[MasterXploder7]

Hey. Does anyone think they could code Selective Memory ? if used with the new 2015 blue legendary Jalira, Master Polymorphist it would be well used.

And Vorinclex, The Voice of Hunger i know the second ability may not work as planned, but in my comedic defense my AI decides they want to tap a land for no apparent reason then dang it they need to live with the consequences!

[Dnt312]

Hi, I'm having trouble coding Thousand-Year Elixir. I've done with the second ability and it works fine, unlike the first ability. It seems like there is no card with similar effect. Please help

[RiiakShiNal]

I believe the only way to make it possible to activate abilities as though the creature has haste is to actually give the creature haste which will cause interaction problems (creature should not be able to attack, cards that care about haste would count the creature as having haste even though it shouldn't, etc...). We have a characteristic for attacking as though the creature has haste, but not for activating abilities.

Thank you. I intended to use Thousand-Year Elixir for my tapping Elf deck, but then I found Concordant Crossroads and I think it's a nice replacement (though it gives advantages to the opponents as well)
Sorry for bothering you again, but can you help me to code Creeping Renaissance (or Praetor's Counsel)?

[thefiremind]

Creeping Renaissance (or Praetor's Counsel)

Praetor's Counsel is pretty easy, just do what it says:

Praetor's Counsel's spell ability (untested) | Open

Code: Select all

  <SPELL_ABILITY>
    -- Localised text omitted
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectController() ~= nil then
       EffectController():MoveLocalZone(ZONE_GRAVEYARD, ZONE_HAND)
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectSource() ~= nil then
       EffectSource():Exile()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="8">
    if EffectController() ~= nil then
       EffectController():GetCurrentCharacteristics():Bool_Set(PLAYER_CHARACTERISTIC_NO_HAND_LIMIT, 1)
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
    <DURATION>
    return EffectController() == nil
    </DURATION>
  </SPELL_ABILITY>

Creeping Renaissance requires a little bit more work, you need to make a query that asks which permanent type you want:

Creeping Renaissance's spell ability (untested) | Open

Code: Select all

  <SPELL_ABILITY>
    -- Localised text omitted
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    -- The permanent types are artifact, creature, enchantment, land, and planeswalker.
    local controller = EffectController()
    if controller ~= nil then
       controller:BeginNewMultipleChoice()
       controller:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer("CARD_TYPE_ARTIFACT")
       controller:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer("CARD_TYPE_CREATURE")
       controller:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer("CARD_TYPE_ENCHANTMENT")
       controller:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer("CARD_TYPE_LAND")
       controller:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer("CARD_TYPE_PLANESWALKER")
       controller:AskMultipleChoiceQuestion("CARD_QUERY_MC_CHOOSE_PERMANENT_TYPE")
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local controller = EffectController()
    if controller ~= nil then
       local decision = controller:GetMultipleChoiceResult()
       if decision &gt;= CARD_TYPE_INSTANT then
          decision = decision + 1 -- this aligns the decision variable with the card types constants by skipping CARD_TYPE_INSTANT
       end
       local filter = ClearFilter()
       filter:SetZone(ZONE_GRAVEYARD, controller)
       filter:Add(FE_TYPE, OP_IS, decision)
       if decision == CARD_TYPE_ENCHANTMENT and PLW_FilterNameSet ~= nil then
          PLW_FilterNameSet(filter, "PLANESWALKERS", false) -- this skips Planeswalkers when choosing Enchantment if using the PLW mod
       end
       local count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
       for i=0,count-1 do
          local card = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
          if card ~= nil then
             card:PutInHand()
          end
       end
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </SPELL_ABILITY>

It should be compatible with the Planeswalkers Pool.
For flashback, just copy the flashback part from another card and change the cost accordingly.

Thank you. I added flashback and tested 2 card, and both of them worked well !!!

[fallenangle]

Neo suggested that maybe if I used a transform ability with Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, that would make his first ability work more in compliance with the rules. I've tried editing his first ability to make him transform into a Dragon token with the requisite characteristics, but I can't seem to get it to work and am not sure where the problem lies on the two cards I want to use (Sarkhan and the token). If anyone who knows transform well can take a look at my code and point out where and how I've gone wrong, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Edit: I've revised the Sarkhan code to this for the first ability, but it still doesn't work:

is this card possible Shadow of Doubt?

Without recoding all cards that that involve searching a library, no it is not possible.

Neo suggested that maybe if I used a transform ability with Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, that would make his first ability work more in compliance with the rules. I've tried editing his first ability to make him transform into a Dragon token with the requisite characteristics, but I can't seem to get it to work and am not sure where the problem lies on the two cards I want to use (Sarkhan and the token). If anyone who knows transform well can take a look at my code and point out where and how I've gone wrong, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

The transformation code is pretty complex. I don't know how many people outside of TFM are familiar enough with the code to help you troubleshoot it. I know I cannot do it. But this approximation could give you some poor interactions as well since it will have a different name.

Did you have a chance to try my suggestion in your other thread? I think if we can adjust the filter to creature Sarkhans and non-creature Sarkhans as different entities we should be alright. And I believe that snippet I posted would be an alright first shot to see if it would even work. If the concept works I don't think it will be too hard to make it a little more rule compliant. I thought about it in the car today and to account for other versions of Sarkhan, I think we'd just have to change the if statement to return true when the card has the Sarkhan Plansewalker type instead of the name Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker. I'll try to find some time to test it tomorrow night after I get home.
