Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Thanks, Door of Destinies is 100% now. Here in Brazil we are limited to play magic on computers on inside our houses, because we were attacked several times by evangelical christians (they claim that we are doing some kind of ritual). 3 weeks ago i broke the arm of a zealot, he and his friends had planks, ant tried to beat me and my friends, and yesterday another one came with a .38 revolver to threaten us. We are almost in a new dark age here. We can't make our friday night magic anymore

If someone still needs an updated list of all the actual creature types, I found this one:
http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/A ... rcana/1038

It's missing the un-serious creature types...

I've updated the first post with 2 more creature types that were missing from the game (completely missing this time): Hyena and Noggle. I also added the Subtype text for them though I could not find (or translate) Noggle in Korean.

Also that article is missing a couple of types that are still in the oracle text (Egg and Townsfolk). They may not be "serious" types, but they are still listed as creature types in the oracle text so I see no reason that they should be excluded.

By comparing types in the game that are missing from the article I also see that type Anemone is no longer used and type Trap is actually used for Instants not Creatures so later I may need to add at least one exception to my code so it doesn't look for Traps.

I coded Noggle Ransacker without realizing that the Noggle subtype wasn't visible...
My core-fixing WAD is updated with the 2 new subtypes.

I tried to code Urza's Incubator but i have a issue.

here's the error : [string "Content\Functions\RSN_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TYPE_FUNCS.LOL [900]"]:163: attempt to index local 'oChest' (a nil value)

here the code line 163 : local nIndex = oChest:Int_Get( REGISTER_SELECTION_SELECTED_INDEX )

This is a part of RSN_GetChosenCreatureType function.

In game, the card works at half: the selection seems to be ok but no reduction cost is applied.

Any idea ?

Thx for help.

That would be because you are using EffectDC() across two different abilities. EffectDC() is only valid inside a single ability (unless passed as a parameter to a delayed trigger). Try using ObjectDC() which persists while the card is in play.

Thanks for the tip, it's works.

But the message is still in SCRIPT_LOG.TXT : [lua] [string "Content\Functions\RSN_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TYPE_FUNCS.LOL [1128]"]:163: attempt to index local 'oChest' (a nil value)

And I don't know why.

Edit : I solved the problem by putting the code in only one ability like you and saving the chosen type in a ObjectDC. No message occurs.
