ASM question

[jatill]

I notice that in certain cards (Jaymadea Tome, Fountain of Youth, etc) there is a section for op code 6C. Can anyone explain what's going on here?

I remove that code and the card works, as far as I can tell. Maybe there are edge cases it handles.

In any case, my true question is this: how does a card know if it has already been activated? For example, if I have 8 mana available, and I activate Jaymadae Tome, and then activate it again in response, the game doesn't let me play 8 mana and draw 2 cards. I can't figure out what is stopping me from doing this.

If I create a proc that calls tome and try clicking the tome twice, THEN it asks me to pay twice. Weird, right?

I also notice some 'eventcodes' that it's appear nonused, or used by AI (maybe).
In case of tome, you can't activate multiple times, 'cause of self status, like this, more or less, is how the card works:

Case EventCode Of
EVENT_CANACTIVATE: Result := Player.HaveManaAvaiable(4, AnyColor) And Not(Card.IsTapped);
EVENT_PAYACTIVATECOST: Begin
Player.PayMana(4, AnyColor);
Card.IsTapped := True;
End;
EVENT_RESOLVEABILITY: Player.DrawCards(1);
End;

After the cost is paid, the status of card prevent to reactivate on the correct event.

In some cases, the AI call EVENT_CANACTIVATE, then, EVENT_PAYACTIVATECOST, then, call EVENT_RESOLVEABILITY lots of times (see orcist spy)... maybe, some event, (like $6c), it's used to control some behavior about this...

Maybe I'm taking nonsense, but can this part of the code be used to fixt that random little problem with Nuisance Engine (and wall of kelp) and Orcish Spy?

So here's the really weird thing.

Try clicking Jay Tome a few times, and then cancel. All the prompts go away.

Now import the patch with the code somewhere else. Now when you cancel, you have to cancel each one. I wonder if there is some internal code somewhere that knows when to 'cancel all'.
