Card Development Questions

It would be nice if "remembered" was extended to all the AB's.

Which AbilityFactory are you looking for? It's not as simple to do in some based on the underlying structure

None in particular. I couldn't use it anyway as I can't get Forge to compile...otherwise your scripting card posts would all be done.

Well we should get that resolved so you can script away

I finally got the bug to reinstall everything. Fixed. Now to add my long lost Revered Unicorn.

Great news.

Your request to join the group "Developers – Forge" has been approved but it may take a few hours before you notice that you have commit status.

I do not pay the cumulative upkeep cost. The trigger fires, but no life is gained. Apparently the sacrifice spoils the show. Does anyone know of a workaround?

Did you try "SVar:X:TriggeredCard$CardCounters.AGE"? This should use the last known information of the card.

That's got to be it. I have been out of the loop. Thanks.

I did not notice a "comment" section on the SVN. Doesn't the recently added Teferi's Moat need "Affected$ Creature.withoutFlying+ChosenColor+YouDontCtrl"?

Trying to script Sisters of the Stone Death.

I found some problems in script =>

1) The Third Ability don't return any creature exiled (remembered) with Sisters of the Stone Death to battlefied. How to do this? Remembered doesn't work with ValidTgts$ and TgtPrompt$ ?
3) Exists the First ability of this card, but I need a AF that target creature blocks CARDNAME (Sisters of the Stone Death) this turn if able.

Trying to script Sisters of the Stone Death.

I found some problems in script =>

1) The Second Ability target any creature blocking or blocked by any card, how to do with this ability for it target only creature blocking or blocked by Sisters of the Stone Death?

This should be able to be done with:

Code: Select all

Creature.blockingSource,Creature.blockedBySource

Does my math just suck this bad, or doesn't this work like I think it does?

Code: Select all

Types:Creature Wurm
Text:no text
PT:6/6
T:Mode$ AttackerBlocked | ValidCard$ Card.Self | Execute$ TrigPump | TriggerDescription$ Whenever CARDNAME becomes blocked, it gets -2/-1 until end of turn for each creature blocking it beyond the first.
SVar:TrigPump:AB$Pump | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ Self | NumAtt$ -X | NumDef$ -Y
SVar:X:Number$2/Times.Z
SVar:Z:TriggerCount$NumBlockers/Minus.1
SVar:Y:TriggerCount$NumBlockers/Minus.1

End


Block Johtull Wurm with 3 creatures, it ends up as 8/4 (from 6/6). It should be 2/4.

Can the code handle /Times.Z? I remember fooling with this guy a while back and never could get it to work.

Is there a way to for a permanent to reference its enchantment or equipment? Just checking to see if any progress was made along these lines.

Yeah, that's somewhat recent. I used it in Shapeshifter and the Mana Batteries use it.
