Choosing a target. -_-

[Jspapp]

I don't know if I've been staring at this for too long or what, but I just can't get this to work at all. I'm trying to code Nyxathid, and as it comes into the battlefield you choose an opponent.

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[As Nyxathid enters the battlefield, choose an opponent.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_END" simple_qualifier="self" to_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY" />
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:SetFilterType( FILTER_TYPE_OPPONENTS )
    EffectController():ChooseTarget( NO_VALIDATION, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_OPPONENT", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>


However, the ability will trigger but I don't get a targetting prompt. I know there's a really simple mistake in here somewhere but I can't get it figured out.

The filter for opponents is actually set like this:

Code: Select all

local filter = Object():GetFilter()
filter:Clear()
filter:SetFilterType( FILTER_TYPE_PLAYERS + FILTER_TYPE_OPPONENTS)
filter:SetOwner( EffectController() )
filter:SetHint( HINT_ENEMY_ONLY, EffectController() )

I see Kevlahnota has already coded Nyxathid for the Community DLC mod.

Here's the code from that:
