Some card issues I'm having

[volrathxp]

Alright... in an effort to kind of condense my question posts, these are the cards I'm struggling to wrap my head around right now. For reference, I'm just putting the code in for what I'm working on, not the whole card.

- Siege Dragon: I've got his ETB trigger down, but his attack trigger is getting me something fierce. Here is where I'm at with it. It triggers, but doesn't do any damage.

Beyond that, the stuff I would like to code, but am having a heck of a time wrapping my head around them. I don't have code for any of these yet, because I'm honestly not sure where to start.

- Athreos, God of Passage (Paying life.)
- Avacyn, Guardian Angel (BLERG color choices)
- Battlefield Thaumaturge (I have a sneaking suspicion this card is impossible under DoTP 2014, just based on other cost reduction cards I've looked at)
- Generator Servant
- Genesis Hydra
- Hushwing Gryff (Obvious.)
- Keranos, God of Storms (First card drawn each turn? I looked at a few Miracle cards and couldn't piece this together)
- Kruphix, God of Horizons (Again, having looked at Sakiko and the mess that code is, I'm not sure how feasible Kruphy is)
- Ob Nixilis, Unshackled (Triggering off player searching their library)
- Scuttling Doom Engine (The can't be blocked by power 2 or less thing...)
- Sliver Hive (specifying mana to only be available for Sliver spells...)

[sweetLu]

I'll handle some of the easy ones first then when I find some time I'll try out the others if someone doesn't beat me to it.

• Athreos, God of Passage -- Paying life is easy. Just look at one of the shock lands. For instance, here are the relevant parts from sumomole's Stomping Ground:

  Code: Select all

     <TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_query="1" linked_ability_group="1" active_zone="ZONE_TRANSITION">
      <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[As Stomping Ground enters the battlefield, you may pay 2 life. If you don’t, Stomping Ground enters the battlefield tapped.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>

       EffectController():AddMultipleChoiceAnswer( "CARD_QUERY_OPTION_PAY_2_LIFE" )   
       EffectController():AddMultipleChoiceAnswer( "CARD_QUERY_DO_NOTHING" )   
       EffectController():AskMultipleChoiceQuestion( "CARDS_QUERY_NEW_DUAL_LAND_ENTER" )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
      <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if TriggerObject() ~= nil then
      if EffectController():CanPayResourceCost(2) then
         local result = EffectController():GetMultipleChoiceResult()
         if result ~= 1 then
           EffectController():PayResourceCost(2)
         else
          TriggerObject():Tap()
          end
      else
        TriggerObject():Tap()
       end
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
   </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
   <UTILITY_ABILITY resource_id="2">
      <COST type="Life" amount="2" />
   </UTILITY_ABILITY>

• Battlefield Thaumaturge -- I don't think this card is possible either.
• Hushwing Gryff -- Not possible.
• Keranos, God of Storms -- For the trigger, try this:
  

  | Open

  Code: Select all

     <TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
      <TRIGGER value="DREW_CARD" simple_qualifier="controller">
    local interrogation = MTG():ClearInterrogationQuery()
    interrogation:SetPlayer( EffectController() )
    local num_drawn_this_turn = interrogation:Count( INTERROGATE_CARDS_DRAWN, INTERROGATE_THIS_TURN, 2 )
    if num_drawn_this_turn == 1 then
       return true
    else
       return false
    end
    </TRIGGER>

• Kruphix, God of Horizons -- At a minimum this will need Riiak's manual mana functions. At one point I believe he was attempting to add in functionality for "mana doesn't empty from your mana pool" but I'm not sure if it was ever fully implemented.
• Ob Nixilis, Unshackled -- For an opponent searching their library try this trigger:
  

  | Open

  Code: Select all

      local num_starting_players= MTG():GetNumberOfStartingPlayers()
    for i=0,(num_starting_players-1) do
       local player = MTG():GetNthStartingPlayer( i )
       if (player ~= nil and player:GetTeam() ~= EffectController():GetTeam()) then
          local interrogation = MTG():ClearInterrogationQuery()
          interrogation:SetPlayer( player )       
          interrogation:SetSecondaryPlayer( player )
          if interrogation:Test( INTERROGATE_SEARCHED_LIBRARY, INTERROGATE_THIS_TURN ) then
           return true
          end
       end
    end
    return false

• Scuttling Doom Engine -- If you have the expansion, you could look at Champion of the Lambholt:
  

  Champion of the Lambholt Evasion | Open

  Code: Select all

     <TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1">
      <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[Creatures with power less than Champion of Lambholt’s power can’t block creatures you control.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
      <TRIGGER value="EVASION_TEST" pre_trigger="1">
    return TriggerObject():GetController() == EffectController() and SecondaryObject():GetCurrentCharacteristics():Power_Get() &lt; EffectSource():GetCurrentCharacteristics():Power_Get()
    </TRIGGER>
   </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

  If that trigger returns true, the opponent's creature ( SecondaryObject() ) cannot block. So change it from less than to less than or equal to ( &lt;= ), replace the Power_Get() part with 2 and modify it so it only works for that Scuttling Doom Engine.
• Sliver Hive -- Riiak tried for some time to get specialized mana that could only be used to cast creatures, spent on artifacts, etc. I do not think it is possible.
• Generator Servant -- You may be able to rig something together to make this work in some cases but it won't be ideal. After you generate mana with it count how many cards you have named "COLORLESS MANA" (I think that's the name Riiak uses for colorless mana). Then after you cast a card, count the colorless mana again. If the card was a creature and there is less colorless mana from the previous time you cast a card, then give the creature haste. One problem with this card in general is how the game handles colorless mana. For example, if you have 4 x Mountain (untapped), used the Generator Servant to get 2 colorless mana, then tried to play 2 x Bloodrock Cyclops, the first cyclops you cast will use the 2 colorless mana. There is no way around that in duels.
• Forgestoker Dragon -- In an availability you need to return true or false for it to work correctly. So add:
  

  Code: Select all

  if filter:CountStopAt(1) == 1 then
     return true
end
return false

  Also, you are checking if the EffectSource() is attacking, not if the controller is attacking.

Beyond that, the stuff I would like to code, but am having a heck of a time wrapping my head around them. I don't have code for any of these yet, because I'm honestly not sure where to start.

- Athreos, God of Passage (Paying life.)
- Avacyn, Guardian Angel (BLERG color choices)
- Battlefield Thaumaturge (I have a sneaking suspicion this card is impossible under DoTP 2014, just based on other cost reduction cards I've looked at)
- Generator Servant
- Genesis Hydra
- Hushwing Gryff (Obvious.)
- Keranos, God of Storms (First card drawn each turn? I looked at a few Miracle cards and couldn't piece this together)
- Kruphix, God of Horizons (Again, having looked at Sakiko and the mess that code is, I'm not sure how feasible Kruphy is)
- Ob Nixilis, Unshackled (Triggering off player searching their library)
- Scuttling Doom Engine (The can't be blocked by power 2 or less thing...)
- Sliver Hive (specifying mana to only be available for Sliver spells...)

Well, let's see:

Sage of Hours - I've already coded that ability here for someone else.

Siege Dragon - This one is a bit tricky because there are also issues with choosing the Defending player in Two-Headed Giant. Due to this issue you want to trigger every time he attacks (which you have already done), then choose the defending player, then check for walls, then if there are no walls do damage to the creatures. Due to needing to get the defending player you may not be able to use the FILTER block and may have to iterate through the non-flying creatures. Normally though you would use an INTERVENING_IF block for this type of check.

Forgestoker Dragon - For the AVAILABILITY all you need is a simple check:

Code: Select all

<AVAILABILITY>
  return Object():IsAttacking()
</AVAILABILITY>

Generator Servant - You can use RSN_CountColourManaInPlayerPool( COLOUR_COLOURLESS, EffectController() ) to count the amount of colourless mana in your mana pool, but for Generator Servant it would probably be better to use RSN_GetProducedTokenChest() to get the actual mana tokens then when a creature spell is cast check to see if any of those tokens was used to see if the creature gets haste until end of turn (you would have to make sure to clear the chest once used to prevent unwanted haste assigns).

Sliver Hive - Can't be made properly as mana can't be restricted (I tried).

Battlefield Thaumaturge - Yep, impossible as you can't reduce cost once cast (because you have to count targets) and you can't target until you cast.

[volrathxp]

Thanks. I kind of had the suspicions over both Thaumaturge and Gryff, but the confirmation kind of makes me feel better. I will look at the rest of the suggestions here, and good suggestion on the Scuttler.

Alright... in an effort to kind of condense my question posts, these are the cards I'm struggling to wrap my head around right now. For reference, I'm just putting the code in for what I'm working on, not the whole card.

So I tried the Siege Dragon code... and it errors out on the RSN_GetDefendingPlayer function. I'm assuming that's one of your functions I don't have somehow? I've got your Manual Mana functions and Core fixes.

Forgestoker, even with the check that Object():IsAttacking() still fails to give me the option to activate the ability after declaring him as an attacker.

RSN_GetDefendingPlayer() is part of the Core Fixes v2 (or higher) and it shouldn't be throwing an error if RSN_ChooseDefendingPlayer() isn't throwing an error.

Forgestoker, even with the check that Object():IsAttacking() still fails to give me the option to activate the ability after declaring him as an attacker.

I'll play around with it after I get home from work and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

I managed to get both working actually. Xd

Well, as long as they are working, then no problem.

[volrathxp]

So I have managed to get Athreos working, which is cool.

My issue now is trying to get Marchesa working. The Dethrone trigger is throwing me for a bit of a loop. I am trying to understand GetNumberOfPlayers() and comparing the attacked player's life total but it is not working. I'm on mobile currently so I don't have any code off hand. Does anyone have any thoughts?

So here's where I'm at with what I'm trying to get done and fully working and the things I'm having trouble with. Hopefully, once I get this stuff cleaned up, I'll be able to actually put this out and let people mess with it (probably make some decks that work with the cards in it too).

Dictate of Karametra / Mirari's Wake - I am all sorts of confused about these two. I copied some code from Mana Flare that used RSN's Manual Mana Functions, but it seems like they aren't actually doubling mana or adding additional.

Wake looks the same basically, except with the "controller" stipulation.

The rest of the cards I'd like to get done and could use some pointers on:

Boonweaver Giant (searching doesn't bother me here, it's the stipulation of the library being in play)

Brago, King Eternal (I'm pretty sure I know what to do here, just a nudge in the right direction is all I need)

Genesis Hydra (At first glance, I thought this looked easy and then I started looking at the Genesis Wave code, I figured out how to make it reveal the cards, but to get it to only let you pick one that matches the X cost...)

Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient (I'm sure there's something for this, I'm just not sure what it is.)

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled (Even with the offered code on this guy, it still kind of eludes me... I'm not sure how he actually triggers. I'm pretty sure there isn't some form of generic trigger, and I'm sure there isn't a TRIGGER value that actually lets you trigger on library search)

Soul of Ravnica (This guy... I thought maybe counting up all the creatures and doing an Evaluate on them and running through with a for loop and counting all the colors would work but now I'm not so sure...)

Wakestone Gargoyle (This kind of bugs me, I'm not sure there's a characteristic that lets a creature with Defender attack as though it didn't have Defender, the only solution I see hear would be to make the creature temporarily lose Defender but then the interaction with stuff like Vent Sentinel etc is kind of broken (and I did code Vent Sentinel for that reason), so I'm not sure this guy is really possible)

The only last guy I have to build is Goblin Kaboomist, and custom tokens are fairly easy to me, so I should be able to get him done pretty easily.

Note that with Mana Flare (and your cards) that the player will only get the extra mana if they manually tapped for mana. This is because auto-tapped lands don't trigger the BECAME_TAPPED_FOR_MANA event it only gets triggered by my functions which means you have to manually tap for the event to trigger.

For Boonweaver Giant I'm unsure what you mean about the library being in play because I don't see anything like that in the card. You just need to search for the a card that CanAttachTo() and then use PutOntoBattlefieldAttachedTo() to attach it to Boonweaver Giant.

For Brago, King Eternal it's just using the SOURCE_DEALS_DAMAGE_TO_PLAYER trigger and a TARGET with item_count_any_number_of="1".

Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient, I don't remember anything in DotP 2014 for copying abilities, you can copy spells (and assign new targets), but I don't think you can for abilities.

For Soul of Ravnica to count colours among permanents you control you loop through the colours and do a filter CountStopAt(1) == 1 to see if you have a permanent of that colour if so increase your colour count.

Wakestone Gargoyle, nope, there is no such characteristic in DotP 2014, but there is in DotP 2015. That is the only workaround and it does break interactions that check for defender.

Boonweaver Giant (searching doesn't bother me here, it's the stipulation of the library being in play)

Not sure of what you mean about "library being in play" but I believe in DotP you cannot search multiple zones with a single query. Well you could put all possible cards into a single data chest and let them choose from that but I wouldn't suggest that. For this I'd suggest a multiple choice question asking the user to select which zone they want to search and then if they searched the library you can shuffle it. I'm not sure if that is what you were getting at or not.

Brago, King Eternal (I'm pretty sure I know what to do here, just a nudge in the right direction is all I need)

The trigger is easy. For the target portion you can try using the "any_number_of" attribute like:

Code: Select all

<TARGET tag="CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_FLICKER" definition="0" compartment="0" any_number_of="1" />

Then for the resolution time action part just cycle through targets but you'll have to count how many creatures are in the DC first. Try:

| Open

Code: Select all

          <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
        local targetDC = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0)
        if targetDC ~= nil then
            local count = targetDC:Count()
            for i = 0, (count - 1) do
                local target = targetDC:Get_CardPtr(i)
                if target ~= nil then
               targetDC:Protect_CardPtr(i)
                    target:Exile()
                end
            end
        end
        </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
          <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
        local targetDC = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0)
        if targetDC ~= nil then
            local count = targetDC:Count()
            for i = 0, (count - 1) do
                local target = targetDC:Get_CardPtr(i)
                if target ~= nil then
                   target:PutOntoBattlefield( target:GetOwner() )
                end
            end
        end
        </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Genesis Hydra (At first glance, I thought this looked easy and then I started looking at the Genesis Wave code, I figured out how to make it reveal the cards, but to get it to only let you pick one that matches the X cost...)

In the first RTA of Genesis Wave, the "select cards" part is:

Code: Select all

    for i=0,(cardsSelectable-1) do
       effectController:SetItemPrompt( i, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CARD_TO_PUT_ONTO_BATTLEFIELD" )
    end

Since we only want one card, you can delete the for loop and replace the i with 0 in the prompt. In the second RTA you can do the same thing (get rid of the for loop and replace the i with 0). That should wokr. maybe.

Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient (I'm sure there's something for this, I'm just not sure what it is.)

No copying abilities in 2014 however with the introduction of Illusionist's Bracers in 2015 this should be possible.

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled (Even with the offered code on this guy, it still kind of eludes me... I'm not sure how he actually triggers. I'm pretty sure there isn't some form of generic trigger, and I'm sure there isn't a TRIGGER value that actually lets you trigger on library search)

Yea I didn't post something for this. For the trigger values try adding ABILITY_RESOLVED and SPELL_RESOLVED. You can add them both to the same triggered ability. Now that I think of it, that won't work because the interrogation I gave you is for the whole turn which is incorrect. I'll have to think about this one some more...

Soul of Ravnica (This guy... I thought maybe counting up all the creatures and doing an Evaluate on them and running through with a for loop and counting all the colors would work but now I'm not so sure...)

You might want to try starting with the colors and looping through the creatures. See if this works:

Code: Select all

local count = 0
for i = 1, 5 do
   local filter = ClearFilter()
      filter:Add( FE_COLOUR, OP_IS, i )
      filter:Add( FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, EffectController())   
   if filter:CountStopAt(1) == 1 then
      count = count + 1
   end
end

Wakestone Gargoyle (This kind of bugs me, I'm not sure there's a characteristic that lets a creature with Defender attack as though it didn't have Defender, the only solution I see hear would be to make the creature temporarily lose Defender but then the interaction with stuff like Vent Sentinel etc is kind of broken (and I did code Vent Sentinel for that reason), so I'm not sure this guy is really possible)

No, in 2014 he is not. There is no characteristic in 2014 for that but they added that possibility in 2015. The best you can do is make the creature lose defender during the combat phase and regain it in the 2nd main.

The only last guy I have to build is Goblin Kaboomist, and custom tokens are fairly easy to me, so I should be able to get him done pretty easily.

Okay then have fun .


I haven't coded in awhile so it is possible that everything I just told you is incorrect .

Edit - Aww too slow. But I already typed it out so I'm posting it anyway

[volrathxp]

Thanks guys, I am working my way through that stuff now. Sorry about the confusion on Boonweaver Giant, I cannot words.
