Oh. and a quick question,

I'm going to make Orim's Prayer, and I'm wondering if filter:Add( FE_PLAYER_ATTACKED, OP_IS, EffectController() ) will get me just the creatures that attacked the controller of the card.

Thanks!

I have never noticed that FE constant, but I guess it makes sense...

Hey, does anyone know how to make the effect "Whenever you cast a multicolored spell", a la Lobber Crew?

I searched for Gloryscale Viashino (which was in 2013) and I read it used the ColourCount() function, which isn't present in Duels 2014. I wonder, would the following code work?

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGER value="SPELL_PLAYED" simple_qualifier="objectyoucontrol">
    return TriggerObject():GetColour():Count() &gt; 1
  </TRIGGER>

If not that, then this?

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGER value="SPELL_PLAYED" simple_qualifier="objectyoucontrol">
    return TriggerObject():GetCurrentCharacteristics():Colour_Get():Count() &gt; 1
  </TRIGGER>

Hey, does anyone know how to make the effect "Whenever you cast a multicolored spell", a la Lobber Crew?

There's an official example of that: Eye of Ugin checks for

Code: Select all

TriggerObject():GetColour():GetNumColours() == 0

so the check for multicolored will be

Code: Select all

TriggerObject():GetColour():GetNumColours() > 1

Oh, thanks!

Also, I'm working on Crown of Empires, and it's been difficult trying to change the target's controller because SetController() doesn't seem to function in an ACTIVATED_ABILITY block. I'm thinking of maybe making a delayed trigger but I don't know how to make the trigger fire - does TRIGGER_ACTIVATED_ABILITY_PLAYED work? A STATIC_ABILITY or SPELL_ABILITY where I'm sure that function does work is out of the question. Got any pointers?

[RiiakShiNal]

SetController() will work in an ACTIVATED_ABILITY block, but it needs to be in a CONTINUOUS_ACTION block with a DURATION. To set a controller permanently like for Crown of Empires you might want to try SetBaseController().

OK, I need some SERIOUS help.

Almost everything works, but for some odd reason the "CHARACTERISTIC_DOESNT_UNTAP" doesn't work, even though I borrowed that part code from Claustrophobia. I've tried everything from adding the "ZONE_ANYWHERE" tag to declaring a variable as EffectSource() to altogether taking out the counter check and just straight up copying the code from Claustrophobia, but NOTHING is working!!!

Sorry if I sound angry, I'm just extremely frustrated and I need this to work for someone else's deck. Can someone please help me with this?

[thefiremind]

I see 2 things (maybe 3) that I'd change:

1. The duration should be "return SecondaryObject() == nil": since the effect has no explicit duration, you want it to last until the affected creature leaves the battlefield. Your duration stops when the Mindbender Spores die because then EffectSource becomes nil (and GetPlayer probably gives an error on SCRIPT_LOG.TXT).
2. GrantAbility should be called on layer 6. (CHARACTERISTIC_DOESNT_UNTAP is OK on layer 8.)
3. Your check for Fungus counters says ">= 0" but it should be "> 0". I guess you left it for testing, though, so maybe you are aware of that.

Hey mate, sorry for yesterday, I was just facing other issues and I was in a really bad mood that day, is all.

Anyways, I have a question, I'm trying to fix my Order of the Stars, because someone told me that the protection from colors is sporadic (as in, sometimes it works, sometimes it gives protection to a completely wrong color, like choosing white and getting protection from red).

This one allows you to choose the color, but completely forgets to give your creatures protection!

Can you help me with this? I'll need to code Voice of All as it's in the Dark Heavens deck in Duels 2012, and I really want this to work as it's supposed to.

No need to apologize with me, you did no harm. What I'd like to hear is if your Mindbender Spores work now.

Mindbender Spores work perfectly... at least for me. My buddy said it didn't work for him (the two grant-abilities) , so I recopied the code from there, retested it, and again found no problems. He might have been using an older copy.. anyways I sent him it again and hopefully it works for him.

Interestingly, I did the exact same thing as you did for Voice of All except I set the first trigger to set at ZONECHANGE_END, because apparently ZONECHANGE_TRANSITION was bugging out for me, and seeing as the color wasn't changing I thought the integer in the LinkedDC wasn't changing and scrapped the whole idea of putting the second ability in the second ability block,

One more thing, is it possible to put multiple filters in the same RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION? I was making the Empires artifact cycle and when I tried local filter == ClearFilter() and local filter2 == ClearFilter() the card only checked for the second filter, so I had to put the two in two separate RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTIONs and save the count for the first filter in a data chest...

ClearFilter() is a function defined in one of the official LOL files, and what it actually does is

Code: Select all

MTG():GetCurrentObject():ClearFilter()

This means there's only 1 filter per object, you can't declare other ones. You can use differently set filters in the same action, though: just use the first, save the result you need, then use the second.

Okay TFM, I have a few questions on what you've commented on for Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo in another thread. Instead of cluttering up Kieran's thread or the Formal Request thread, I've decided to post it here. Is this where these kind of questions are supposed to go anyway? Well on to the actual questions...

Here is your quote from here:

I guess you are supposed to target the permanent that activated/triggered the ability.

A source could potentially be in any zone, so you need to let the player choose the zone. Luckily it isn't targetted, so a query will suffice (without the need to use modes).

I knew it wasn't technically targeting but I was confused in thinking you needed to select say the triggered ability from a dying Goblin Arsonist while it's on the stack instead of the Goblin Arsonist itself. I realized this was wrong as I was posting the cards I made. Now, you said the source could potentially be in any zone but the only applicable zones I could think of is the stack and battlefield. Could something damage you from the graveyard or in exile?

Also, I still couldn't figure out how to let someone choose a card from multiple zones in the same query. I resorted to using first a multiple choice to choose the zone, then a query for choosing the source in that zone. I also learned a lesson in saying things arent' possible . I'm assuming this is what you meant but I wanted to check if I was off base. I know gorem was working on a card that would let you make a selection from multiple zones in the same query but I don't know if he ever got it working.

Lastly, sorry to bother you with such beginner questions. You were just the sorry modder that commented on my issues .

Edit - Hmmm I guess the Goblin Arsonist example I gave could also be an example of a card that does damage to you from a graveyard... I'm still guessing that the exile zone isn't applicable.

Edit 2 - Well I fixed the code so you could select cards in your graveyard, however, my code doesn't seem to redirect damage from a cards in the graveyard. I've tried both selecting the Goblin Arsonist while it was on the battlefield and selecting it while it was in the graveyard. Both times the arsonist damaged those resilient Doomed Travelers Sigismund played. I even remembered to protect the selected card so the data chest would work between zones (tested on selecting a haste creature on the stack). Any ideas?

[RiiakShiNal]

Well, there could be a source in Exile that could do damage to you when it enters the battlefield, for example an opponent has an exiled Anathemancer that will return due to some other effect (maybe it was flickered) and while exiled they cast Abeyance. To prevent the damage from Anathemancer you would have to use Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo to prevent the damage from Anathemancer while it is in Exile as a response to the casting of Abeyance. So technically you should be able to select a source from anywhere that is not a private zone. As for being able to select a card from multiple zones you could do it if you put the cards into a data chest and had the user select the card from the data chest, but then there is the problem about which card is in which zone. As for needing to be able to select something in the Graveyard, well if they cast Abeyance then decided to Unearth Anathemancer then you have the same problem.

[GrovyleXShinyCelebi]

What about a target definition like this?

Code: Select all

<TARGET_DEFINITION id=0>
local filter = ClearFilter()
filter:SetZone( ZONE_ANYWHERE)
</TARGET_DEFINITION>

and if not that:

Code: Select all

<TARGET_DEFINITION id=0 >
local filter = ClearFilter()
filter:Add( FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_BATTLEFIELD )
filter:Add( FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_HAND )
filter:Add( FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_GRAVEYARD )
filter:Add( FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_STACK )
filter:Add( FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_TRANSITION )
filter:Add( FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_EXILE )
filter:Add( FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_LIBRARY )
</TARGET_DEFINITION>

This might backfire badly as I know there are issues with cards in ZONE_EXILE being targeted, but it's worth a shot.

Otherwise, you could just approximate the card with the second code and only adding zones where cards are known that they can be targetted ( ZONE_BATTLEFIELD, ZONE_STACK, ZONE_GRAVEYARD )
