canPlayFromEffectAI

[Sloth]

I want to add a new AI function to all AbilityFactories that checks whether a spell should be cast from effects like Cascade and Ripple. Other cards that could make use of it in the future are: Memory Plunder, Omen Machine, Sins of the Past,...

It will normaly just use the trigger AI function. The parameters will be whether it's mandatory (Omen Machine) and whether it's without mana cost.

Any suggestions or warnings?

I would have it check where the card is located too. If it's not in the AIs hand then it's card advantage and should generally be played as long as there is a minor positive effect.

I would have it check where the card is located too. If it's not in the AIs hand then it's card advantage and should generally be played as long as there is a minor positive effect.

The number of cards that have these effect on cards in your hand is next to zero and doTrigger generally returns true unless the effect is negative.

First testings showed good results.

Sloth, I have an infinite loop here:

Code: Select all

    private boolean pumpTriggerAI(final AbilityFactory af, final SpellAbility sa, final boolean mandatory) {
        if (!ComputerUtil.canPayCost(sa)) {
            return false;
        }
        return pumpTriggerAI(af, sa, mandatory);
    }


Not sure what you were trying to do?

Edit: I put in a temporary fix. Not sure if this is what it's sposed to do, or if this exists anywhere else.
