Multiple mana abilities

[--Dream--]

I'm trying to code Noble Hierarch and here's what I have so far:

Code: Select all

<MANA_ABILITY>

    <COST type="TapSelf" />
    <PRODUCES amount="{U}" />
  </MANA_ABILITY>

It seems that whenever I use the card to generate mana, say W, it also adds U and G automatically. How can I make these abilities mutually exclusive?

This is the biggest problem we always have in all DotP versions, and there's no easy solution. The most used trick is this one:
viewtopic.php?f=63&t=7655
but it has some drawbacks: you have to tap the permanent manually, and it doesn't count as a mana ability (it would trigger Burning-Tree Shaman and there would be no way to make distinctions for something like Faith's Fetters).

I was looking at nabeshin's Izzet Signet and I'm not sure I understand how to do it. Should I use 3 activated abilities and then the mana token registration tags at the bottom?

Either this, or you make a single activated ability that lets you choose a colour... well, you can only produce 3 out of 5 colours with the Noble Hierarch, so you have to check that you choose a colour you can actually produce.

I see, thanks. This doesnt seem to work though:

Did you include all nabeshin's files in your custom WAD? The LOL file needs to be in the DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS/FUNCTIONS sub-directory of your custom mod (create it if it doesn't exist).

Yep, that did the trick, thanks!
