Posted: 11 Jun 2011, 02:58Are you sure about that? It doesn't have the same wording as Unearth does.jeffwadsworth wrote:Now this works fine, but to be 100%, the chosen dragon permanent must be exiled from anywhere, not just the battlefield. If Any is used, it just fizzles. Perhaps there is another way that doesn't require silly hacky SubAbilities that check every zone?

Posted: 11 Jun 2011, 07:58I think what sol meant is that it is correct ruleswise that the dragon permanent doesn't get exiled from anywhere but the battlefield. And I agree.jeffwadsworth wrote:well, i will add and see what happens.friarsol wrote:Are you sure about that?

When getting Defined, it sees "Triggered" which calls sa.getTriggeringObject() and Bam! NPE.jeffwadsworth wrote:Catacomb Dragon script:

Posted: 15 Jun 2011, 08:03ConditionPresent counts the number of cards on the battlefield that match the given restrictions, nothing more. It would need some extra coding.Starcrash wrote:I'm having a hard time getting Forge to recognize the various "pulse" conditions for the various pulse spells from Darksteel. For instance, I tried this with Pulse of the Fields (the white life-gaining spell)
A:SP$ GainLife | Cost$ 1 W W | Defined$ You | LifeAmount$ 4 | SubAbility$ SVar=TrigReturn | SpellDescription$ You gain 4 life. Then if an opponent has more life than you, return CARDNAME to its owner's hand.
SVar:TrigReturn:DB$ ChangeZone | ConditionPresent$ X | ConditionCompare$ LTY | Defined$ Self | Origin$ Stack | Destination$ Hand | ConditionDescription$ If an opponent has more life than you,
SVar:X:Count$YourLifeTotal
SVar:Y:Count$OppLifeTotal
The program completely ignores the condition and instead gives back Pulse of the Fields every time. I tried IsPresent$ instead (and even LifeAmount$, though I'm pretty certain that's trigger-only), and got the same outcome - no matter what I set as the conditions, they just get ignored. Is this why Pulse of the Tangle doesn't have code in the card itself? Are these cards - seemingly easy to code - still uncodeable?
Posted: 15 Jun 2011, 13:15Ok, I was just thinking about this very thing, then I read this post. I guess that means I should just get to it, huh? I'll take a look at making this doable.Sloth wrote:ConditionPresent counts the number of cards on the battlefield that match the given restrictions, nothing more.
