Sneak attack

[Scion of Darkness]

Hello i'm new to this forum and after some reading decided to make a sneak a show legacy deck but im having some problems with the sneak attack i'm using a merge between the quicksilver code and the slave of bolas but its not working

Code: Select all

<ACTIVATED_ABILITY filter_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY">
  <COST type="Mana" cost="{R}" />
  <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">local filter = Object():GetFilter() filter:Clear() filter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) filter:SetPlayer( EffectController() ) filter:SetZone( ZONE_HAND ) filter:SetHint( HINT_ALLIED_ONLY, EffectController() ) filter:NotTargetted()</TARGET_DEFINITION>
  <TARGET_DETERMINATION>return AtLeastOneTargetFromDefinition(0)</TARGET_DETERMINATION>
  <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">EffectController():ChooseTarget( 0, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_GAIN_CONTROL", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )</PLAY_TIME_ACTION>
  <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="2">local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then target:SetController( EffectController() ) end</CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
  <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then target:Untap() end</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6">local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then local characteristics = target:GetCurrentCharacteristics() characteristics:Characteristic_Set( CHARACTERISTIC_WORTHLESS, 1 ) end</CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
  <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6">local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then local characteristics = target:GetCurrentCharacteristics() characteristics:Characteristic_Set( CHARACTERISTIC_HASTE, 1 ) end</CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
  <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>local delayDC = EffectDC():Make_Chest(1) delayDC:Set_CardPtr(0, EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)) MTG():CreateDelayedTrigger(1, delayDC)</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  <DURATION simple_duration="UntilEOT" />
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
- <TRIGGERED_ABILITY resource_id="1" dangerous="1">
  <TRIGGER value="BEGINNING_OF_STEP" simple_qualifier="controller">return ( MTG():GetStep() == STEP_END_OF_TURN )</TRIGGER>
  <CLEANUP fire_once="1" />
  <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>local target = EffectDC():Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then target:Sacrifice(EffectController()) end</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>


can someone give me an adive about this? thanks

The problem with your code is simply that you choose the target but then don't put it into play. You just set the controller to yourself, so instead of

Code: Select all

<CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="2">
local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
if target ~= nil then
 target:SetController( EffectController() )
end
</CONTINUOUS_ACTION>

you have to insert

Code: Select all

<RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
if target ~= nil then
 target:PutIntoPlay( EffectController() )
end
</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

I've made the change, it was my fault hehehe forgot to copy that, after that the card comes into play but don't gain haste and stays in play in the end of turn =/ i dont have no clue

This it the card code

Code: Select all

I'm not familiar with this code, and i'm on work so cant test it now but could it be that making a resolution time action before the continuos ones it clears the filter and blow the end of the code?

Not exactly, but you were really close. When a card changes zone, all the card pointers pointing to that card are deleted, unless you "protect" them (every "protect" saves the pointer for 1 zone change).

Try to use this resolution time action:

Code: Select all

<RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
if target ~= nil then
   EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Protect_CardPtr(0)
   target:PutIntoPlay( EffectController() )
end
</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

You could also add the contents of the second resolution time action inside this same "if" condition, if you want to shorten the code.

Thanks firemind u'r a life saver, and thanks for ur hard work as my future deck couldn't be made without many of your cards when i finish the deck i'll put here for everybody
