Magic Trick : Working out mana producing abilities

[whismer]

It is possible to don't advance automatically to the next step... sometime I can play a card with this trick but AI advance to next step before I can cast my spell

yes, you must set "hold priority" to on in options menu

Hi all,
I'm trying to correct Ghost Quarter to add the first rule line to the card ({T}: add to your mana pool.)
I've tried something like this :

Code: Select all

<ACTIVATED_ABILITY tag="GHOST_QUARTER_RULE_1" layer="0" >   
 <COST type="TapSelf" />
  <FILTER>
   return ( NonLands() and OwnedByYou() and InHand() )
  </FILTER>
  <EFFECT>
   DecreaseCost( 1 )
  </EFFECT>                   
</ACTIVATED_ABILITY>


The problem is that it doesn't seam to work with activated abilities... despite it works fine as static ability with Etherium Sculptor for example
Have you tried to code a card that produces a colorless mana guys ? Thanks for help.

Seems a tricky one !

I've tryed to code Sol Ring and Palladium Myr, and both have the same problem.
Colourless mana don't really work as intended, I tapped the myr and was able to cast 2x Darksteel Myr, then the token depleted.
I've looked at the token code and played around a little but still can't get it working...

Code: Select all

    <TOKEN_REGISTRATION type="_COLOURLESS_MANA_Token" reservation="2" />
    <ACTIVATED_ABILITY tag="PALLADIUM_MYR_RULE_1" layer="0" forced_skip="1" >

      <COST type="TapSelf" />

      <EFFECT>
        ProduceColourlessMana( 2 )
      </EFFECT>

    </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>

There's something wrong? I've used pretty much the same code for Sol Ring but again, same problem...
