The apostrophe you're using in the filename is a special character that isn't being recognized correctly.

If you rename the card to use a standard apostrophe (i.e. ' instead of ’), it should work for you.
(Don't forget to update the reference in the deck list file)
Note that you can leave the special ’ in the localised text, so it'll still be reflected on the card.

Thanks, now the card appear in the game, but it does nothing when i cast. Maybe sombe problem with the register. I choose the target and the creature type, and then nothing happens.

You should be able to do it all in the same ability (so you don't need to use ObjectDC() or a triggered ability) so that could reduce your complexity some.

Granted, I have not tested this, all I've done is remove the triggered ability (by moving the choose creature type code into the spell ability and changed the EffectDC register used so it doesn't conflict) and eliminated the need to use ObjectDC (in case that was somehow causing the problem). I imagine that when the card goes to the graveyard the ObjectDC would be cleared which may be why the card failed to work properly (by eliminating the need to use ObjectDC we get around this).

It's crashing the game now. I don't know why

It might have been due to the fact that in my last post, the code was still using the special apostrophe. Below is the code that I tried locally which worked fine (NOTE: I codify the card and file names differently from you, I use different art ids and expansion values and I localized the text from gatherer). The ability code is, however, exactly as I put in my last post (with different indention to be slightly easier to read for me anyway).

Since the card is an instant and only really relies on the types you have in play you may want to use RSN_FindPlayerCreatureTypesInZone instead of RSN_FindPlayerCreatureTypesInZones since you don't really need or want to look at what's in the library because the card doesn't really care what's in the library. Or you could just remove the ZONE_LIBRARY parameter from the existing call as that would have the same basic effect.

Code: Select all: RSN_FindPlayerCreatureTypesInZones( EffectDC():Get_Chest( 2 ), EffectController(), ZONE_IN_PLAY )
