channel

[giacomo7]

hi everybody,
first of all... amazing job!

now, is channel already done?

[RiiakShiNal]

I don't think anyone has really attempted Channel due to the complexities in trying to code it in the DotP engine. It can only be done using mana tokens (which pretty much means using Manual Mana if you are talking about coding it in DotP 2014). However, you then have to come up with some way to let the player use the ability, until end of turn, without keeping it in play (as keeping it in play would screw up other card abilities). Though you can't just grant it to the card in the graveyard or in exile because other card effects could then cause it to change zones and it would then lose the granted ability. Simply asking the player how much mana they want produce up front also wouldn't work because it isn't flexible enough (they may want to use some now, and then use some more in another step or phase, or something comes up and they decide not to generate as much as they otherwise would).

If we could grant abilities to the player then this card would be much easier to code.

[Xander9009]

I was thinking about this and I think the easiest way to do it (thought this would still not necessarily work in every given situation) is to grant the ability to everything you control, including cards in hand and cards in the graveyard (and in the library and exile if possible). I say this because you'll be using the mana to do something with another card, and this way, that card, no matter where or what it is, will have the ability conveniently available for use.

Thank you for your fast answer.

I realis it with a sorcery, it brings a token in play until end of turn.

I cant post an external link... I upload it under mediafire.

Maybe not 100% perfect but it does what it shouldt

[giacomo7]

the code for the token is to long... it is in the zip file.

[RiiakShiNal]

A token is as I mentioned before is a bad way of going about this as no matter how you have coded the token it will have incorrect interactions with other cards if it is visible to the user (which it would need to be in order for the user to use an ability on the token).

Xander9009's idea is a much better idea, though there may be some issues in getting the granted ability to work properly in some instances (technical hurdles rather than user hurdles).

[Xander9009]

When posting code, put it in a code block to retain tabbing to make it easier to read.

[code ] Put your code hear [/code ].

No spaces between the brackets, though. For long posts, use spoilers so people can scroll past it easily and it is more organized. A spoiler tag MUST have an equal sign to work.

[ spoiler=]Spoilered stuff goes here.[/spoiler ]

If you put something after the equal sign, it'll show up as the title of that spoiler block.

Finally, combine them by putting the code block inside the spoiler block.

Anyway, the text for sacrifice at end of turn doesn't need to be there for the ability to work. You can leave it, it's not /wrong/, I just think it would look better without it, but that's subjective.

Also, token registrations go outside of abilities.

Objectively, this will have problems with anything that triggers upon an artifact entering the battlefield or that counts artifacts.It'll also trigger metalcraft. Rather than giving it hexproof, you should use protection from everything. This way, no one can target it with anything. Look at what Riiak does for his fake characteristics manager.

As Riiak mentioned, that will still have many problems.

Here's the version which may or may not work which grants the ability to everything you control in every zone until end of turn.
