I haven't tried any unleash cards yet but... what if I decide to not unleash the creature then give a +1/+1 counter later with Fangren Firstborn, Test of Faith or whatever. I'm afraid it will become unable to block after that!! right?

Right: unleash creatures cannot block with +1/+1 counters on them, no matter how or when they got them.

I haven't tried any unleash cards yet but... what if I decide to not unleash the creature then give a +1/+1 counter later with Fangren Firstborn, Test of Faith or whatever. I'm afraid it will become unable to block after that!! right?

From the rules:

702.97. Unleash
702.97a Unleash is a keyword that represents two static abilities. "Unleash" means “You may have this permanent enter the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it" and "This permanent can’t block as long as it has a +1/+1 counter on it."

This means that regardless of how the +1/+1 counter(s) got there it can't block for as long as it has at least one.

MtG Salvation has a good page on it: Unleash

Ok. I didn't know that.

Each time you make a change you might accidentally insert new errors that weren't there before, so it's hard to guess what went wrong unless you re-post your code after each change.
And when you get a crash instead of a card simply not working, 99% of the times is due to an error in the XML structure, which everyone should be able to troubleshoot without anybody else's help (Firefox can point those errors, and Riiak's Deck Builder can too).

Also could anyone check my Rix Maadi code, since I didn't find similar cards I am unsure.

           player:SetItemCount( 1 )
           for o = 0,(1-1) do
             player:SetItemPrompt (o, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CARD_TO_DISCARD" )
            end
            player:ChooseItems( EffectDC():Make_Targets(1) )

Where you use "filter" after making it, it should instead be "FilteredPlayer()". Also, the resolution block following the filter needs to be <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION filter_id="0"> so it knows what filter to look at. Next, when you SetZone( ZONE_HAND, target) and the other places you use "target", "target" doesn't mean anything and you don't actually have a filter. You asked about "filter", but "filter" doesn't exist (you have to make a new one each in each block). Those too should be FilteredPlayer(). Finally, you use "EffecDC():Get_Targets(1)", but you never set any targets. After you make the player choose a card, you have to set that card as a the target. I can't guarantee this will work, but it should be much closer.

I noticed a couple problems with the code I posted earlier. Unfortunately, my internet cut out before I could fix them. Hopefully this helps.

I was thinking of trying to make Razia's Purification, but I am unsure of how to approach sacrificing unselected items. Any ideas?

I hope some of the more enlightened modders can help me here

I have no idea about the RSN function issue, sorry. But for the other card, it could be a few things that I see. The first is that you keep calling Object(). That might work, I have no idea, but I know that every time I've seen a card refer to itself, it uses EffectSource().

Next, when a card becomes a creature, it usually uses the following:

Code: Select all

local characteristics = EffectSource():GetCurrentCharacteristics()
if characteristics ~= nil then
     characteristics:CardType_GetWritable():Add( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
     characteristics:SubType_GetWritable():Add( CREATURE_TYPE_MUTANT )

Nest, getting a creature's power is done with source:GetCurrentCharacteristics():Power_Get().

Finally, the main one, I think this

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1" active_zone="ZONE_TRANSITION">

will make the ability only be available if Master Biomancer is currently changing zones. Remove the active zone restriction. It should be available while Master Biomancer is on the battlefield (I think that's the default, so it shouldn't need declared), and triggered by OTHER things changing zones.

Any of those things might not be 100% accurate. I'm still fairly new and learning as I go, but I hope they're helpful.

[Aiodren]

Thanks for the quick help Xander
the function GetCurrentPower() was a shortcut function for GetCurrentCharacteristics():Power_Get() in dotp 2013 and, judging from the wiki, is supported in 2014, whereas Object() may really be outdated now^^

Next, when a card becomes a creature, it usually uses the following:

Code: Select all
local characteristics = EffectSource():GetCurrentCharacteristics()
if characteristics ~= nil then
characteristics:CardType_GetWritable():Add( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
characteristics:SubType_GetWritable():Add( CREATURE_TYPE_MUTANT )

The cards that get the counters and become mutants already are creatures, so i don't think there is a need for characteristics:CardType_GetWritable():Add( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
But your last tip most likely solves the problem. I don't have time right now to test it, but i will do later today and post the results

I was thinking of trying to make Razia's Purification, but I am unsure of how to approach sacrificing unselected items. Any ideas?

Try this:

Razia's Purification ability (untested) | Open

Code: Select all

  <SPELL_ABILITY>
    -- Localised text omitted
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION repeating="1">
    local n = MTG():GetActionRepCount()
    local nPlayers = MTG():GetNumberOfPlayers()
    if n &lt; nPlayers then
       local player = MTG():GetNthPlayer(n)
       local filter = ClearFilter()
       filter:Add( FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, player )
       -- filter permanent types here, if you want compatibility with invisible mana tokens!
       local max_count = filter:CountStopAt(3)
       player:SetItemCount(max_count)
       if max_count &gt; 0 then
          for i=0,max_count-1 do
             player:SetItemPrompt( i, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_PERMANENT_TO_KEEP" )
          end
          player:ChooseItems( EffectDC():Make_Targets(n) )
       end
       return true
    end
    return false
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <FILTER filter_id="0">
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    -- filter permanent types here, if you want compatibility with invisible mana tokens!
    for pIndex=0,MTG():GetNumberOfPlayers()-1 do
       local targetDC = EffectDC():Get_Targets(pIndex)
       if targetDC ~= nil then
          for tIndex=0,2 do
             local target = targetDC:Get_CardPtr(tIndex)
             if target ~= nil then
                filter:Add( FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, target )
             end
          end
       end
    end
    </FILTER>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION filter_id="0">
    if FilteredCard() ~= nil then
       FilteredCard():GetPlayer():Sacrifice( FilteredCard() )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </SPELL_ABILITY>

About Master Biomancer, if Clone effects didn't change from DotP2013, that code will have a problem even if it usually works. When you make a Clone enter the battlefield, the ZONECHANGE_TRANSITION triggers are re-fired after you choose the creature to clone, this makes the Clone get his +1/+1 counters twice. The workaround I used in DotP2013 was to make a trigger that triggers on ZONECHANGE_BEGIN from ZONE_ANY to ZONE_BATTLEFIELD, which starts a delayed trigger that is specific for the creature that is changing zone, and actually adds the counters on ZONECHANGE_TRANSITION as you usually do. This will add the counters only once per creature, no matter what. I'll produce some code later.

EDIT: The Clone effects still give the same problem, so here's my updated Master Biomancer.
