Thanks again, guys! I'll look into it.

Trying to get the Shifting Sliver working. I found a post in here about it on like page 26, but I am having trouble implementing it. This is only my second card ive made so that may be why, but i figured I would ask what I was doing wrong. Here is my xml

And here is the quote I found about it that I tried to implement...

the "sliver can only be blocked by slivers" can this be achieved in dotp2014?

There are no examples on DotP2014, but blocking restrictions have always been coded with the EVASION_TEST triggers in the previous games.

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1">
    -- Localised text omitted
    <TRIGGER value="EVASION_TEST" pre_trigger="1">
    return TriggerObject():GetSubType():Test(CREATURE_TYPE_SLIVER) and SecondaryObject():GetSubType():Test(CREATURE_TYPE_SLIVER) == false
    </TRIGGER>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

When the attacking creature (TriggerObject) is a Sliver and the defending creature (SecondaryObject) isn't a Sliver, the evasion test is positive and the attacker will "evade" the defender.

EDIT: I'd like to inform everyone that I inserted a new implementation of totem armor in my web generator. The new implementation lets the enchanted creature's controller choose which aura with totem armor should be destroyed when there's more than one.

This is still not working as everything can still block it. Any help would be awesome!

You are including a Triggered ability into a Static ability this is wrong and without sense.
An ability can be Static, Activated, or triggered, each of them has its characteristics.
Try removing the static block.

Thanks! Ill give that a try when I get home. It makes sense. I thought it was odd, but figured it had to be there as it was part of the initially generated code.

The initially generated code for abilities is pretty much never guaranteed. It's just a best guess unless the generator can actually figure out exactly what ability it's coding.

[CalT2410]

Has Repeal ever been coded? I recently made the mistake( ) of watching LSV play Vintage on ChannelFireball, and figured I'd give some of the decks a try in DOTP.

Edit: Also, while I'm at it, how about Vampire Hexmage too?

[thefiremind]

The initially generated code for abilities is pretty much never guaranteed. It's just a best guess unless the generator can actually figure out exactly what ability it's coding.

In this case, the generator is partially right: that ability should be static, but some static abilities are coded as triggered in the DotP engine, and particular blocking restrictions fall into that category.

Has Repeal ever been coded?

I think it hasn't, but it's not difficult, you may want to try and see if you can sort it out: generate the card through one of my generators, copy-paste the ability code from another card which bounces nonland permanents (there must be at least one somewhere, you can search for it through Riiak's Deck Builder), then add depends_on_X="1" to the TARGET block, and the CMC restriction inside the target definition:

Code: Select all

filter:Add( FE_CMC, OP_EQUALS, GetEffectX() )

and finally add the "Draw a card" part which you can copy from any card that does the same.

how about Vampire Hexmage too?

I took the ability code from East Bay's DotP2013 legacy mod. It should still work.

CODE: SELECT ALL
filter:Add( FE_CMC, OP_EQUALS, GetEffectX() )
and finally add the "Draw a card" part which you can copy from any card that does the same.

Well...guess now is as good a time as ever to start coding then. I'll give it a go.

Don't be sorry, I am glad it works!

So I have run into another snag. This time with Acidic Sliver. The card works with its ability, but I havnt been able to figure out how to attach its ability to other slivers. I would like to go through and add the remaining slivers to the game so this would probably be a good concept for me to understand. Any help would be awesome.

Here is the current xml for it. For some reason it says I am too spamy when I put in the ai availability lines so those have been omitted. If there is a better way for me to put those into code let me know. Not sure if that is relevant to attaching to slivers, but it doesnt seem like it should be.

Code: Select all

You can see Firewake Sliver among the official cards, that's a very good template to start with. To sum it up: you need to have 2 abilities, one is static and grants the ability to the Slivers, one is activated and has a resource_id, you won't see it on the card (well, you'll see it granted when the card is on the battlefield, but not otherwise), and the static ability will grant it by referring to its resource_id.

For some reason it says I am too spamy when I put in the ai availability lines so those have been omitted. If there is a better way for me to put those into code let me know.

You were probably putting them in correctly, the "too spammy" will go away once you post a little more (I believe it is set to 5 posts) at which point you will also be able to post links and such as well. Using the code tags to post code is correct and the preferred way (makes things easier to read and copy/paste).

Thanks. I think I understand now, and I got it working! The only thing now that's a little odd to me is that it is adding a second iteration of the activatable ability on the initial sliver and the static text isn't acting as a activatable ability. So in this case it is showing the static ability " All Slivers have , Sacrifice this permanent: This permanent deals 2 damage to target creature or player."
And then when it hits the battlefield it is adding a second ability that is the activatable ability. "{2}, Sacrifice this permanent: This permanent deals 2 damage to target creature or player."

I would think it would be cleaner to have the static ability text become the activatable ability on that initial sliver that cast it. I am not sure if this is possible and maybe its nitpicking, but I figured I would ask.

Ah ok. No worries. I will hit 5 soon I am sure as I am learning and still very new to this. Thanks for the info.
