Card Development Questions

[jeffwadsworth]

Other cards that will benefit from Sol's work on targeting are Jilt and Consume Strength.

I'll take a look at it, since Target is one of mine. Does an Issue already exist for this?

I haven't seen one. I don't remember exactly which card I was trying to script probably something with a coin flip. I'll look at my notes when I get home and write more details. I remember the problem with adding a IsTargeted property has to do with the targeted objects being associated with the ability instance and not the host card instance so there's no list to check against in the source card.

Edit: The card I was trying to script was Incremental Growth which needs to target three unique targets.

I was trying to script Incremental Blight that is the same case. Will be need alter the Targeting code?
I think friarsol make some changes about this.

[friarsol]

I already made the changes. Here's the code for the new Arc Trail. The SubAbilities would just follow suit:

Code: Select all

A:SP$ DealDamage | Cost$ 1 R | ValidTgts$ Creature,Player,Planeswalker | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature or player (2 damage) | NumDmg$ 2 | SubAbility$ SVar=DBDealDamage | SpellDescription$ CARDNAME deals 2 damage to target creature or player and 1 damage to another target creature or player.
SVar:DBDealDamage:DB$ DealDamage | ValidTgts$ Creature,Player,Planeswalker | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature or player (1 damage) | TargetUnique$ True | NumDmg$ 1


The important part is to add the flag TargetUnique$ True when the Card reads "Another target" which will inform the Target Selection code to include the Parent Abilities targets as part of it's "already Targeted" list. Cards like Leeching Bite will use this, but cards like Seeds of Strength will work as they did before.

Incremental Growth worked great with the new script key. I already checked it in.

[Iran]

I Make the script for Incremental Blight, almost same script of the Incremental Growth.

Code: Select all

Name:Incremental Blight
ManaCost:3 B B
Types:Sorcery
Text:no text
A:SP$ PutCounter | Cost$ 3 B B | ValidTgts$ Creature | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature |
TargetUnique$ True | CounterType$ M1M1 | CounterNum$ 1 | SubAbility$ DBTwoCounters |
SpellDescription$ Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature, two -1/-1 counters on another target creature, and three -1/-1 counters on a third creature.
SVar:DBTwoCounters:DB$ PutCounter | Cost$ 0 | ValidTgts$ Creature |TgtPrompt$ Select another
target creature | TargetUnique$ True | CounterType$ M1M1 | CounterNum$ 2 |SubAbility$ DBThreeCounters
SVar:DBThreeCounters:DB$ PutCounter | Cost$ 0 | ValidTgts$ Creature |TgtPrompt$ Select a third
target creature | TargetUnique$ True | CounterType$ M1M1 | CounterNum$ 3
End

target creature | TargetUnique$ True | CounterType$ M1M1 | CounterNum$ 2 |SubAbility$ DBThreeCounters
SVar:DBThreeCounters:DB$ PutCounter | Cost$ 0 | ValidTgts$ Creature |TgtPrompt$ Select a third
target creature | TargetUnique$ True | CounterType$ M1M1 | CounterNum$ 3
End

I committed Incremental Blight to the code repository. Thank you.

[friarsol]

Oh I just realized that the AI grabs its legal target list differently than the Human does. I'm going to go through the AFs and reuse the same function for both Players. The AI might cheat a bit when it comes to playing these cards until I'm done with that.

[ZzzzSleep]

Looking at Stormkirk Noble (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/A ... ily/td/158), is there any way to script the ability "Stormkirk Noble can't be blocked by humans"?

[Hellfish]

Yep, check out Sloth's "CantBeBlockedBy" keyword on cards like Manta Ray, Mudbrawler Raiders or Wanderbrine Rootcutters.

[ZzzzSleep]

Thanks! I should have Stormkirk Noble up in a day or so...

I Make the script for Innistrad card Endless Ranks of the Dead. I'm not sure is 100% correct.
Is possible to script Olivia Voldaren (card of the Innistrad Set) or is not scriptable?
The mechanism of transform in this set (Innistrad) will be dificult to implement in forge.

Code: Select all

Name:Endless Ranks of the Dead
Cost:2 B B
Types:Enchantment
Text:no text
T:Mode$ Phase | Phase$ Upkeep | TriggerZones$ Battlefield | Execute$ TrigToken | TriggerDescription$
At the beginning of your upkeep, put X 2/2 black zombie creature tokens onto the battlefield, where X is half the number of the zombies you control, rounded down.
SVar:TrigToken:AB$Token | Cost$ 0 | TokenImage$ B 2 2 Zombie |  TokenAmount$ X | TokenName$ Zombie | TokenTypes$ Creature,Zombie | TokenOwner$ You | TokenPower$ 2 | TokenToughness$ 2 | TokenColors$ Black
SVar:X:Count$Valid Creature.zombie+YouCtrl/HalfDown
End

How do works the CostChange:{params} keyword?.Which params this keyword use?. Is possible make a spell you cast cost B G W B U with this keyword?. Is possible to script Fist of Suns with this keyword?

thanks

You'd want the AltCost SVar for this. Look at the script for Bringer of the Black Dawn for an example. I don't think Fist of Suns would currently be doable.
