Changing the colors

[Thran75]

Is there someone that know the way to do cards alike Alchor's Tomb, Distorting lens, Caoslace or other color-changing stuff?

You just have to take a look at the official cards.
Niveous Wisps is a good example of how to change color:

Code: Select all

  <SPELL_ABILITY dangerous="1" filter_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY">
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[Target creature becomes white until end of turn. Tap that creature.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="fr-FR"><![CDATA[La créature ciblée devient blanche jusqu’à la fin du tour. Engagez cette créature.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="es-ES"><![CDATA[La criatura objetivo es blanca hasta el final del turno. Gira esa criatura.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="de-DE"><![CDATA[Eine Kreatur deiner Wahl wird bis zum Ende des Zuges weiß. Tappe diese Kreatur.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="it-IT"><![CDATA[Una creatura bersaglio diventa bianca fino alla fine del turno. TAPpa quella creatura.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="jp-JA"><![CDATA[クリーチャー１体を対象とする。ターン終了時まで、それは白になる。 そのクリーチャーをタップする。]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="ko-KR"><![CDATA[생물 í•œ 개를 목표로 정한다. ê·¸ 생물은 턴종료까지 백색이 된다. ê·¸ 생물을 탭한다.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="ru-RU"><![CDATA[Целевое существо становится белым до конца хода. Поверните то существо.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="pt-BR"><![CDATA[A criatura alvo torna-se branca até o final do turno. Vire aquela criatura.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
    filter:SetHint( HINT_ENEMY, EffectController() )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>
    <TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    return AtLeastOneTargetFromDefinition(0)
    </TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local target_card = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
    if target_card ~= nil then
       target_card:Tap()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

       characteristics:Colour_Set( COLOUR_WHITE )
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
    <DURATION simple_duration="UntilEOT" />
  </SPELL_ABILITY>

while Rise from the Grave is a good example of how to add a color to the pre-existing ones:

Code: Select all
