Collectible Card Game Headquarters

It currently only supports RememberToughness, but it can be referenced easily for other values. To recall the value, use SVar:X:Number$RememberedValue.

It would probably be better to expand it to the form of RememberValue$Toughness instead of RememberToughness$True. It would make it neater to expand, but I couldn't get it to work properly. Anyway, the groundwork is there with a nice test-piece (Tree of Redemption) if anyone feels it needs to be improved.

RememberValue$ CardToughness

When the ability resolves, Tree of Redemption's toughness will become your former life total and you will gain or lose an amount of life necessary so that your life total equals Tree of Redemption's former toughness. Other effects that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.

Does SetLife interact correctly with this? I thought it worked like Dev mode's set life which just sets the value, but doesn't cause life gain or life loss.

Code: Select all

    public final boolean setLife(final int newLife, final Card source) {
        boolean change = false;
        // rule 118.5
        if (this.life > newLife) {
            change = this.loseLife(this.life - newLife, source);
        } else if (newLife > this.life) {
            change = this.gainLife(newLife - this.life, source);
        } else {
            // life == newLife
            change = false;
        }
        this.updateObservers();
        return change;
    }
