Optional additional costs

[Sloth]

Do optional additional costs paid get added to the paid costs hash? I'm trying to add Dralnu's Pet but no counters are being added.

Script for Dralnu's Pet | Open

Name:Dralnu's Pet
ManaCost:1 U U
Types:Creature Shapeshifter
Text:no text
PT:2/2
K:Kicker 2 B Discard<1/Creature>
T:Mode$ ChangesZone | ValidCard$ Card.Self+kicked | Origin$ Any | Destination$ Battlefield | Execute$ PetLaunch | Static$ True | TriggerDescription$ If CARDNAME was kicked, it enters the battlefield with flying and with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the discarded card's converted mana cost.

Oracle:Kicker-{2}{B}, Discard a creature card. (You may pay {B} and discard a creature card in addition to any other costs as you cast this spell.)\nIf Dralnu's Pet was kicked, it enters the battlefield with flying and with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the discarded card's converted mana cost.
End

So I added this check in AbilityFactory.calculateAmount in the "Discarded" method and the output is null when the kicker is paid (obviously no output if kicker not paid)

Code: Select all

if (card.getOptionalAdditionalCostsPaid() != null) {
    System.out.println(list);
}

This is a different problem. AbilityFactory.calculateAmount looks at the paid information of the triggered ability (which has no cost), but it should look for the paid info of the SpellPermanent.

702.30e - If part of a spell's ability has its effect only if that spell was kicked, and that part of the ability includes any targets, the spell's controller chooses those targets only if that spell was kicked. Otherwise, the spell is cast as if it did not have those targets. See Rule 601.2c. [CompRules 2009/10/01]

Would it take more effort than it's worth to get this ruling working for cards like Dwarven Landslide? I imaging the functional part of the script would look like this:

Code: Select all

K:Kicker 2 R Sac<1/Land>
A:SP$ Destroy | Cost$ 3 R | ValidTgts$ Land | TargetMin$ X | TargetMax$ X | References$ X | TgtPrompt$ Select target land | SubAbility$ DBKicker | SpellDescription$ Destroy target land. If CARDNAME was kicked, destroy another target land.
SVar:X:Count$KickerSelected:2:1

I've solved the problem. See r16888.
