Also, someone already have coded Linessa, Zephyr Mage?

[thefiremind]

The only thing I can think of is checking if the XML has been saved in UTF-8 encoding: with those special characters, ANSI encoding would be unreadable by the game.

Linessa seems easy to me, just a bit long to write. For the Grandeur ability you just need to use filter:AddCardName( Object():GetCardName() ) for the card to discard: better than writing the explicit card name because you can reuse the code for the other Grandeur creatures without changing anything on the cost part.

Aether Tradewinds is working now. I did some formating, with notepad++. For Linessa, i don't know how to code the first ability because the cost will be variable accordint to the converted mana cost of the target.

[BlindWillow]

As I had already coded two cards that I figured would make coding Linessa fairly easy (Korlash, Heir to Blackblade and Geth, Lord of the Vault), I went ahead and created her for you. AI should be able to use her fairly well too. Artwork included.

You are right, I didn't think about it... it's basically the same problem I had with Geth, Lord of the Vault in DotP2012. My technique was to check the available mana, limit the converted mana cost of the possible target through that information, and then tap with TapLand after the target has been chosen.

[BlindWillow]

Don't forget that you can use separate target definitions for target determination and target choosing. I use one that checks the maximum amount a player can afford along with SetConvertedCostMax() for target determination and then one that uses SetConvertedCostValue( GetEffectX() ) for target choosing.

I use one that checks the maximum amount a player can afford along with SetConvertedCostMax() for target determination and then one that uses SetConvertedCostValue( GetEffectX() ) for target choosing.

Example: if there are only 2 targets, one with cmc=1 and the other with cmc=3, your method would allow to choose X=0 or X=2, but there would be no legal targets for those values, and I don't know what would happen... probably nothing at all, anyway I wanted to avoid giving the AI something infinitely repeatable, that's why I made him a little more complicated.

In my testing the AI never entered into an infinite loop. And if you choose a value for X for which there is no valid target, indeed nothing happens. For Geth, that means no cards milled too. So, I'm satisfied with my method, but it is obviously a matter of personal preference how strict one wishes to adhere to the rules.

Edit: You do have me wondering now if there isn't some sort of loop going on when the AI is considering the ability, as Geth is by far the card that the AI has to think the most about in my DLC. I'll come up with versions of both Geth and Linessa that use the TapLand method later tonight and do some more testing.

Edit2: Scratch that. The problem wasn't even in my original Geth code. I was redoing my Geth code as I worked on Linessa and ended up forgetting to SetHint() in the first target determination (in both Linessa and Geth).

[BlindWillow]

Here's the corrected code for Linessa (also corrected the misplaced text prompt that I kept from Prodigal Pyromancer, who just happened to be the random card I used as an "activated ability template").

If you prefer to go the TapLands route, here's thefiremind's 2012 code for Geth's ability:

In case you need an explanation about the for cycle with "maxafford", that checks the maximum amount of colorless mana that I can pay together with . DotP2012 didn't have the function for retrieving the total available mana, and it wouldn't have been useful anyway because of the mandatory black mana.
I'm pretty proud of that card because it seemed impossible to me at first glance.
