Exists one Trigger that triggers when a I would lose the game? (Trying to script Lich's Mirror)

Lich's Mirror has a replacement ability, not a triggered one (it starts with "if..." and not with "when..." or "as...").

About auras that enchant player. Is possible to script them in forge?
Cards like Wheel of Sun and Moon, Paradox Haze and the new cards Curse of the innistrad will by possible to script.

Thanks

Not quite yet. Although the Attach structure has a fair amount of code in place for this, there's still a few more strings to tie up for it to actually work. I'll take a look this weekend and see if I can add it.

Alright. I added support for this today. Lemme know if something seems weird with it.

I am trying to script Curse of the Bloody Tome from the Innistrad set. To get the phase trigger to work, I need a way to tell which player is enchanted. I added supported for "EnchantedPlayer" to matchesValid in Trigger.java. Is there another way to do this without adding code? If not, I think I also need to add support for "EnchantedPlayer" to getDefinedPlayers.

It needs to be added. The only thing I did was enable support for Attaching to the Player, not interacting with the Attached player.

Any chance you could look at attachAuraOnIndirectEnterBattlefield? If this worked for player targets, I think I could script Bitterheart Witch.

Sure I'll take a look tonight. It looks the AI is mostly setup, so it's just about grabbing the right human choices before giving the dialog.

Trying to script Wheel of Sun and Moon.

Wheel of Sun and Moon | Open

Name:Wheel of Sun and Moon
ManaCost:GW GW
Types:Enchantment Aura
Text:Enchant player
A:SP$ Attach | Cost$ GW GW | ValidTgts$ Player
T:Mode$ ChangesZone | Defined$ EnchantedPlayer | Origin$ Any | Destination$ Graveyard | ValidCard$ Card | Execute$ TrigLib | TriggerDescription$ If a card would be put into enchanted player's graveyard from anywhere, instead that card is revealed and put on the bottom of that player's library.
SVar:TrigLib:AB$ChangeZone | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ TriggeredTarget | Origin$ Graveyard | Destination$ Exile
End

This script is correct?

thanks

Well, Wheel of Sun and Moon isn't a trigger. It's a replacement ability. We don't really have scripted replacement abilities.

Oh, it's true

I see in forge not exists cards like Comet Storm, Conflagrate, Rock Slide, Magmatic Core, Meteor Shower, etc...
Cards that deals X damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures (and/or players)

Exists any impediments to script then?

Thanks

Check out the java-coded Fireball. No way to script these just yet.

Fireball is actually a different scenario since the number is divided evenly. (I think Fireball might be actually scriptable)

The cards Iran is talking about are "Divide as you choose." We do have a few cards that "fake" this like Pyrotechnics, but this only works for a known amount of damage. It'd be nice to have a "Divided" parameter for Damage and for any other AF that uses it. (PutCounter I think, maybe Pump)
