How to make Cursecatcher?

[sumomole]

When the AI to play a spell, the game will be out, what is the reason?

Code: Select all

<ACTIVATED_ABILITY suppress_fizzle="1" auto_skip="1" zone="stack">

    return TargetBadF()

    <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">
    ChooseTarget( "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_SPELL_TO_COUNTER" )
    </PLAY_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if Object():GetTargetCard() ~= nil then
       MTG():ObjectDataChest():Set_CardPtr( 1, Object():GetTargetCard() )
      MTG():ObjectDataChest():Int_Set( 0, 1 )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <AI_BASE_SCORE score="900" zone="in_play" /> 
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY active_zone="any">
    <TRIGGER value="ABILITY_RESOLVED" simple_qualifier="self">
    if MTG():ObjectDataChest():Get_Int(0) == 1 then
    MTG():ObjectDataChest():Set_Int(0, 0)
    return true
    else
    return false
    end
    </TRIGGER>
    <COST type="mana" cost="{1}" qualifier="conditional" />
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION conditional="else">

      MTG():ObjectDataChest():Get_CardPtr( 1 ):CounterSpell()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

You think this piece of a code a joke of coders? (in old-dotp Cursecatcher)

Code: Select all

<EFFECT>
Object():Register_Player_Set( 0, Object():GetTargetCard():GetController() )
Object():Register_Object_Set( 0, Object():GetTargetCard() )
Object():SetController( Object():Register_Player_Get( 0 ) )
Object():Register_Set( 1, 2 )
</EFFECT

I'm having a similar problem trying to code Spellstutter Sprite. If I play it while the stack is empty, nothing strange happens, but if I play it while something else is on the stack, the game crashes with a BEX error. I know that Spellstutter Sprite is available as a community card for old DotP (and Cursecatcher, too), but looking at how they were coded for old DotP doesn't help me.

This was the first implementation I tried:

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[When Spellstutter Sprite enters the battlefield, counter target spell with converted mana cost X or less, where X is the number of Faeries you control.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="de-DE"><![CDATA[]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="es-ES"><![CDATA[]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="fr-FR"><![CDATA[]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="it-IT"><![CDATA[]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="jp-JA"><![CDATA[]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <TRIGGER value="COMES_INTO_PLAY" simple_qualifier="self" />
    <TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    local total = 0
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
    filter:AddSubType( CREATURE_TYPE_FAERIE )
    filter:SetController( Object():GetController() )
    filter:NotTargetted()
    total = filter:Count()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_STACK )
    filter:SetStackObjectType( STACK_OBJECT_CARD )
    filter:SetConvertedCostMax( total )
    return TargetBadF()
    </TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">
    ChooseTarget( "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_SPELL_TO_COUNTER" )
    </PLAY_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if target ~= nil then
      Object():GetTargetCard():CounterSpell()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <AI_BASE_SCORE score="900" zone="hand" />
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

Then I tried with a static ability that counts the number of Fairies continuously (as the old DotP card suggested), but the result was the same. I made other little changes, but the game kept crashing.

Has anybody been successful in making a DotP2012 card that counters a spell without being an Instant?

It occurs after a window of a choice of the target or to him?

[thefiremind]

The game crashes as soon as the card is visually moved to the center of the field (trying to get on the stack), and only if there's something on the stack already.
