So besides the code for the card to be recognized by the engine you implement code for the AI to play the card correctly?Is this more or less how it's done or I am totally wrong, could you enlighten me please?


Since for the player the card works as it is supposed to,why not make AI as you did recognize it as 1/1pumber so it can play it but when it comes in play to have the engine make it have all the abilities of creatures in graveyard.

Maybe Development needs a topic where matters about cards and AI (within the limitations of not having the code,old game engine....)can be discussed and ideas about tricks or ways to overcome problems,or how to help poor AI a bit,mainly from coders-developers but even for us who don't know anything about coding,if we know in non coding language how things are done maybe we can offer some ideas.Most of them will certainly be rubbish but few may actually give you ideas to improve these cards.Just the thoughts of a simple Electrician.Of course I would be more of a use to put more or better lights in your place

The coding process about the AI work more or less like this : if the card can be putted in one of the "categories" of the original Manalink (the one coded in the CSV as DB Type Card) plus few more (that are coding in a unclera way through the "Reserved Infos" in Magic.exe), it's not big deal.
However, if I'm coding stuff like Planeswalker (multi-purpose cards), in order to play a more enjoyable duel a bit of additional AI is required.

Another example : recently, I recoded most of the creatures that sac creatures to do stuff in order for them to recognize the creatures worth sacrificing (Bloodghast, Anger and so on).

For the Myr Welder, is too complex to foresee what the AI could remove and what abilities it will get : a sort of AI could be done, but will be clumsy and will probably take a lot of CPU power to work correctly, so I won't do it.

Finally, your suggestion is interesting, I'll post a thread in the Bug forum to ask if the community will like some more AI for certain cards. And, if you're willing to learn coding, I'll greatly appreciate

Gargaroz thanks for the simple and clear answer for a non-coder to understand.
We all have seen that you constantly try to find ideas to make the cards we have already, better and better and help AI with them as much as can be done, to have better interaction with other cards and more.The idea is when coders and rest of us talk-give ideas maybe sometimes we can help you and take a bit of the burden.BY NO MEANS I DON'T WANT TO PUT MORE BURDEN TO YOU!
Of course,if more developers got interested it would be great but I know that without the source code the job is not easy and is only for the ones who can deal with a HUGE CHALLENGE.

Might be a cvs assignment error as the morphed creature is "fixed" (for example a mystified Elvish Archers will become a Force of Nature)

Really mystifying huh?
