Formal Request Thread

[Xander9009]

The only thing I can think of is the add another, later triggered ability during the upkeep which doesn't actually have an effect beyond forcing the game to take a moment. Is there a better way to do it?

No, there isn't. The only improvement I had thought for that is to make an invisible token that checks for all possible cards that need a moment during the upkeep, and gives you that moment only once even if multiple cards require it, so that if you have 4 Braid of Fire, for example, you don't need to wait for 4+4 triggered abilities to resolve. But as long as having 4 Braid of Fire doesn't happen really often, you can ignore the problem.

That would make sense. But could we use a standard token? That token has the ability to make the game wait. Then, each card like Braid of Fire would have an ability which checks at the end of each turn whether or not one of those tokens exists, and if not, then it creates it. Would that work? If so, someone else would have to do it, because I don't know how to make a token like Riiak's that doesn't interact with the rest of the game.

That would make sense. But could we use a standard token? That token has the ability to make the game wait.

Try to use this:

and let me know how it goes.

Using the invisible token you provided, I tried what I was thinking and it all seemed to work well until I tried exiling the token when the card left the battlefield. As soon as the ability resolved, the game crashed. Here are the two cards.

Note: I didn't change the token's id yet.

So, everything worked except getting rid of the token when the card left the battlefield.

[thefiremind]

You don't want to make the token leave the battlefield: just use the code I provided in the LOL file. The token will remain for the whole duel, it won't do any harm.

I was attempting to find a way to do it that didn't require detailing every card which might need the pause. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure it out. The token can't be exiled or destroyed; doing so immediately crashes the game as if it doesn't know how to handle the event. When I made the token match Riiak's mana token' setup, they stopped crashing the game, but also stopped triggering anything. Oh, well, I might come back and try again later.

Trying to mimic the mana tokens for a manager token is not the way to go. Mana tokens are designed to leave play quite quickly (after being used or at the end of each step).

I have not tried thefiremind's method yet, but I did look at it and it looks pretty good. An alternative method that does not require detailing all cards that could need it would be to on the individual cards have them initially clear a variable (this is so that the manager doesn't trigger when there is no need to) for the player then if they need a window during upkeep then they set that variable so the upkeep manager knows to trigger. This way each card can individually control when it needs a time window during upkeep and the upkeep manager/function file doesn't need to know anything about the cards that will actually use it.

can i please request these cards: Urza's Incubator

I tried to code it, used the same method as my Adaptive Automaton, it worked fine includ AI, now the problem is I can't make it to display the selected creature type.
Who has good idea?

I'd considered variables, but the problem was I don't know how to set or access variables of other cards. All I could think of was making and remembering a token, then tapping the token when the card leaves play and having the manager only consider untapped ones. I figured I'd stick with the basics I already had since the only problem is that I can't remove it. I assumed there'd be a simple way to get rid of it.

Out of curiosity, what about the mama tokens makes them unsuitable? Can they inherently not use triggered abilities? Or is it something else?

EDIT: Ignore the strike-through text; obviously they can have triggered abilities. That's how they get rid of themselves.

IIRC, doesn't granting an ability add blue text to the card? Could have the card grant itself an ability that does nothing but have text that says "Chosen creature type: <variable creature type>" or can't you put a variable in a text string like that?

May I ask what are you talking about? RSN's mana functions has updated?

[Xander9009]

May I ask what are you talking about? RSN's mana functions has updated?

No. This is about creating a window of opportunity during the upkeep for things like spending mana from Braid of Fire.

[sumomole]

No. This is about creating a window of opportunity during the upkeep for things like spending mana from Braid of Fire.

That's very easy, just need to create an empty triggered ability, "EffectSource () == filter: GetNthEvaluatedObject (0)" will ensures that only one card triggered ability will be triggered, regardless of how many cards on the battlefield, if you have a lot of different cards need do this, you also need to create a function to collect these names.

| Open

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY active_zone="ZONE_GRAVEYARD" priority="-10">
    <TRIGGER value="BEGINNING_OF_PLAYERS_STEP" simple_qualifier="controller">
    local player = EffectController()
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_GRAVEYARD, player )
    filter:Add( FE_CARD_NAME, OP_IS, "KULDOTHA_PHOENIX" )
    if filter:EvaluateObjects() &gt; 0 then
      if EffectSource() == filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(0) then
        return ( MTG():GetStep() == STEP_UPKEEP ) and ( player:CanPayManaCost("{4}") ) and ( S_CountTypeInZoneOfPlayer(CARD_TYPE_ARTIFACT, ZONE_BATTLEFIELD, player) &gt; 2 )
      end
    end
    return false
    </TRIGGER>

    <AUTO_SKIP no_effect_source="1" />

EDIT: Here is the thefiremind's function that as I said, and he has helped you to put Braid of Fire into the LOL file, so you just need to add the triggered ability to your card.

I figured I'd stick with the basics I already had since the only problem is that I can't remove it. I assumed there'd be a simple way to get rid of it.

In this case you could use something like:

Code: Select all

<STATIC_ABILITY>
  <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="0">
    -- Clear variable to make sure we don't have any old values (though this could also be done on the manager itself.
    EffectController():PlayerDataChest():Int_Clear( 123456 )
  </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
  <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="8">
    -- Do some checking to see if we need a time window (maybe check it we're tapped or something).
    -- If we need a time window say we need one.
    EffectController():PlayerDataChest():Int_Set( 123456, 1 )
  </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
</STATIC_ABILITY>

Out of curiosity, what about the mama tokens makes them unsuitable? Can they inherently not use triggered abilities? Or is it something else?

They aren't suitable for a couple of reasons:

• They are designed to leave play quickly (not stick around).
• There can be a lot of mana tokens in play, but for a manager you only want a max of one per player.
• Mana tokens show up only when needed, but a manager needs to be present for the entire game so it should be created (optimally) before the first turn and remain in play until the end of the game.

IIRC, doesn't granting an ability add blue text to the card? Could have the card grant itself an ability that does nothing but have text that says "Chosen creature type: <variable creature type>" or can't you put a variable in a text string like that?

How to add a variable in the localised text?

As far as I know variables can't be added to localized text to have it show up in blue on a card you would need to have an ability for each and every creature type to have it display properly.

May I ask what are you talking about? RSN's mana functions has updated?

No, my mana functions have not been updated, yet. I have some updates I should put out to fix a couple of minor bugs, but right now I'm trying to add a couple more pieces to see if they will work. Such as support for Shizuko, Caller of Autumn. I also have an idea on how to support some cards like Ancient Ziggurat, Food Chain, Geosurge, Metamorphosis, Mishra's Workshop, and Somberwald Sage possibly even cards like Eldrazi Temple, Grand Architect, and Myr Reservoir. Though it should be noted that even if my idea works it still probably won't work for cards like Cavern of Souls, Piracy, and Rosheen Meanderer.
