Mana pool view?

[Rickycoe123]

Hey guys

I was just wondering if there was a script to always show your mana pool, so many times I've had about 9/10 mana in my pool... but it only shows for about 5 seconds,

is anyone able to write a hardcoded script to show this?

I don't think a script is possible but you can put one copy of this Mana Keeper in your deck. I was too lazy to add my own picture and code, so I've simply butchered Leyline of Deity's and switched to reddish color.

I couldn't seem to get this to work. Where does the message display? This could be an option for using variable localised text.

It's supposed to work with RSN manual mana functions.

[MC Brodie]

I figured. I have his mana functions installed (though maybe not the latest if they've been updated). I played a basic land, manually tapped it and then activated the ability on your card. I didn't notice any change in the game. I tried the same with a dual land I made myself and experienced the same result.

I could be just missing something or not doing it currently. Where should the message display?

I'll have to look at it again later tonight.

if it doesn't work you can copy/paste the code from cards you have that show mana pool correctly.

It appears I'm missing a function or something. I get the following error:

Error | Open

Code: Select all

[lua] [string "MANA_KEEPER_444_TITLE (RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION)~0x000001a6"]:9: attempt to call global 'ManaTokenType' (a nil value)

No message displays when I activate the ability. I tried changing it around to the code below. With that code the message displays but it doesn't work because I get 0 mana in all of my pools.

   local token_name = {"RSN_TOKEN_MANA_C", "RSN_TOKEN_MANA_W", "RSN_TOKEN_MANA_U", "RSN_TOKEN_MANA_B", "RSN_TOKEN_MANA_R", "RSN_TOKEN_MANA_G"}

      filter:Add( FE_IS_TAPPED, false )
      count[i] = filter:Count()
        message = message.."{"..color_letter[i+1].."}"..count[i].."   "
    end
    player:DisplayMessage(" mana pool: \]\n\n\["..message)

"ManaTokenType" is my old function, now all my functions have added prefix "S_", but the code is the same, it's used to get the name of the RSN's mana tokens.

Code: Select all

ManaTokenType = function(colour)
  local type_MT = {}
  type_MT[0] = "TOKEN_MANA_C"
  type_MT[1] = "TOKEN_MANA_W"
  type_MT[2] = "TOKEN_MANA_U"
  type_MT[3] = "TOKEN_MANA_B"
  type_MT[4] = "TOKEN_MANA_R"
  type_MT[5] = "TOKEN_MANA_G"
  return type_MT[colour]
end

Sorry

I have to clean up and organize my D14 mod files better!!! I shouldn't try to fill requests when I'm busy with other stuff..

anyway , I've substituted the ManaTokenType function with a local.

Try this:

so if i put them into a deck it would show everytime i activate mana?

it's best to just memorize or calculate on the fly your mana because this card use one more slot, so if you start the game with this card in hand you will have 6 cards instead of 7.

if you decide to use it, put only 1 copy in your deck, it will always be cast for free from anywhere on first turn. and no, it doesn't show everytime you activate mana, you have to activate that card manually to see your mana pool.
