Collectible Card Game Headquarters

The problem isn't in the triggered ability, but in the static ability, and now that I think about it more carefully, I think that the question would be asked more than once even in a FFA with more than 2 players if more than 1 player uses Planeswalkers. I just got an idea for a fix, but I'm not sure if it will work.

hey

first of all i really like and enjoy your work
thumbs up

then to my problem ..
Played an Free for All Match with 2 AI's for testin my deck
but somethin worked not right:

Gideon, Champion of Justice
added Loyality points till he got "16"
after that i select the third option
(-15): Exile all other permanents.

after that Card Animation all permanents was still there and Gideon has 3 Loyality points left ..

anyone got the same problem or at least some similar ?

regards

I can confirm the exiling problem, and I'll fix it, but the number of loyalty counters to remove is correctly set to 15 already.

thank u very much

and the Loyality points worked as it should be .. tested it again and everythin is fine



edit:
but found another thing:

but maybe im wrong

put Gideon, Champion of Justice on the battlefield and tryed to give him the ability from Ajani, Caller of the Pride (-3) Target Creature gains flying and double strike until end of turn.

but did not work ..

is that because Gideon is He's still a planeswalker even he is on the battlefield ?

(sorry for that noob question im not that familiar with Planeswalkers)

Planeswalkers aren't creatures. Gideon can become a creature for a turn, but you need to activate his "0" ability first. Then you should be able to use Ajani's ability on him.

So far so good.

made a quick video using a leyline (planeswalkers edition) in 2HG

I think he knew about that, I've changed Gideon to a creature and he couldn't fly with Ajani 2nd ability.

EDIT: Ajani, Caller of the Pride 2nd ability is missing a duration.

Code: Select all

<DURATION simple_duration="UntilEOT" />


on a completely different subject, (maybe I should use another thread) I found out that ZONE_CEASED_TO_EXIST can be used somehow. though I don't know what could use it. maybe as a commander zone?

Code: Select all

  <ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[Remove your hand from the game.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT> 
    <COST mana_cost="{0}" type="Mana" />
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectSource() ~= nil then
       EffectController():MoveLocalZone( ZONE_HAND, ZONE_CEASED_TO_EXIST )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
  <ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[Put all cards from outside the game in your hand.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT> 
    <COST mana_cost="{0}" type="Mana" />
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectSource() ~= nil then
       EffectController():MoveLocalZone( ZONE_CEASED_TO_EXIST, ZONE_HAND )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>


this will put cards from your hand out of the game and return them. just put these 2 abilities on a random card.

made two invented cards Yin Goblin and Yang Goblin using this zone with filter this time, white black goblins is odd, yeah it's dumb but had a blast at making them. if you try, I suggest putting 20 Yin and 20 Yang

Good, so the problem was on Ajani. I'm on my way to fix it.

Nice, I'll add Ajani's fix and move the new version to the first post.
EDIT: Done.

The problem is that we have no function to move a single card to that zone. MoveLocalZone will always move all the cards from the source zone. Forget what I wrote... I hadn't looked at your goblins yet. I totally forgot about QueueZoneChange! Nice idea. Commander would still need a custom support card, and phasing would still have the problem that zone changes shouldn't trigger when phasing in/out, but it's a step forward nonetheless.

thanks for the update

damn the Planeswalkers are so OVP xD

I updated the pool with Ashiok and Xenagos, but I haven't coded the first ability on Xenagos. I'm looking for anyone who's already comfortable with RiiakShiNal's mana functions and wants to give it a shot. I remember gorem2k asking sumomole what was the best way to ask for a combination of 2 colors over X mana, so he may have a good part of it already done.

EDIT: Oh, I was forgetting: I could also use a better art for Xenagos.

Here's what I have done so far:

I had to change sumomole repeating action when not AI because I found it confusing when you only have to give one answer. I had Burnt Offering the same way but found out that giving 0 for numerical value caused 0 mana instead of giving maximum amount for second color. I'm still unsure if it will work for AI because of that. sumomole would surely be a better candidate for this task.

EDIT: I think AI can only produce 1 mana of red or green no matter how many creatures he has.. with the above code, "red mana" appear only once on screen.

I added RiiakShiNal's code to Xenagos, which should be fully working now.

Elspeth, Sun's Champion is not listed in your PLW_SubTypes list (D14_PLW.LOL). which is letting a player keep 2 Elspeth in play.

She is listed on my version, and I'm sure I added her before Ashiok and Xenagos.
