Echo ability, do not work

[JorUge]

Hello, everyone, when I think that my first wad is read to launch I find other problem.

I coded Bone Shredder for Magic 2014, and was Ok to put When Bone Shredder enters the battlefield, destroy target nonartifact, nonblack creature. to work, the problem was that seem to be the easiest part, was the big problem.

How to put Echo to work?

I still searching solutions in the others WADs, but I doing something wrong when I put the code part in my code.

Thanks for reading and share knowledge.

Your Echo ability references LinkedDC():Get_Int(0) == 1, but nowhere do you set that LinkedDC() value to 1. Since this is a permanent and may potentially change control multiple times whenever it changes control you also need to set that LinkedDC() value to 1 (for example if an opponent takes control of it with Act of Treason, when it is returned to your control at your upkeep you will have to pay the Echo cost or sacrifice it).

So more than likely you simply forgot to put the other part(s) of the Echo ability into your code which is why it is not working.

In japanese have a form to treat persons that everyone one need to respect and you are one of them.

Thank Riiak Sensei, I will compare with carefull the base code and will put here the results.

You are one of the ones in This awesome forum. Im glad to receive your words.

If you want an example of Echo you can look at my mod. I also provide a Thick-Skinned Goblin that is compatible with my Echo cards.

Thank you (ありがとうございます), though there are several other modders who have also been around quite a while and are also very deserving of such respect (for example rick a.k.a. Gibbed, thefiremind, sumomole, kevlahnota, etc...) and more such modders who make themselves extremely helpful to the community appear every so often (for example NeoAnderson, jacque, Kieran, MC Brodie, etc...). I would also be remiss if I did not mention our great admins/moderators (Goblin Hero, and Huggybaby) as deserving of our respect for providing this great forum and keeping it clean of spam.

We all learn from each other and most of us share what we have learned with everyone else in the community. Who knows in the future we may be referring to you with such respect.

If you want an example of Echo you can look at my mod. I also provide a Thick-Skinned Goblin that is compatible with my Echo cards.

I would second that as implementations of abilities that are more compatible with more cards should almost always be used over less compatible implementations.
