Card Creation Request Thread

[gorem2k]

Ink-Treader Nephilim:

Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell, if that spell targets only Ink-Treader Nephilim, copy the spell for each other creature that spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those creatures.

ok so copies don't count.

that would've been wicked.
so, your card is working fine. tnks!

I have been trying to code Omen Machine, but it still lets players draw the exiled cards

The first ability:
1. TRIGGER is used in TRIGGERED_ABILITY, not STATIC_ABILITY.
2. override = true should be used with internal="1" and pre_trigger="1", and because this effect isn't a instead effect, so you need use priority="20" to ensure it resolves before ohter instead effect.

Perhaps become target doesn't work for copy spell that doesn't need to choose new target

That's exactly what I think, but I don't think that it's correct rule-wise, it's just an engine limitation. Well, I think I could make Ink-Treader Nephilim itself fire the missing BECAME_TARGET triggers... let me try.

EDIT: OK, now it's better, but still not perfect. You can get the new Ink-Treader Nephilim here, but it still won't work with Wild Defiance because I can't set the SecondaryObject from the FireTrigger function. It works with Petrahydrox, though. If someone finds a better way to code it, please let me know.

EDIT 2: About sumomole's Livewire Lash, I don't know if it's part of the "test", but there's something slightly wrong: it says "target of a spell", not "target of an instant or sorcery spell". This excludes Auras, for example. You should check SecondaryObject():GetZone() == ZONE_STACK, this is the check for spells (as hinted by Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with its protection). Actually I don't know if this counts abilities as well... they are on the stack even if they are invisible. It would need testing.

Still a few problems with Omen Machine.

1) Players still can draw cards after the exile > play effect takes place.

2) I am pairing this with Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir for a hard lock combo deck, but opponents are able to play the exiled spells, despite the fact that they shouldn't be able due to Teferi's sorcery-speed restriction.

I probably put something in the wrong place, but I'm burnt so here's the code as it exists now. I'll check before work in the morning. G'night all.

Since this is the Request thread, I am going to request a card for a change: Sisters of Stone Death.

Search the old post you will find Sisters of Stone Death can't be coded.

1) Players still can draw cards after the exile > play effect takes place.

Code: Select all

Awesome, that works great. I ended up using "ZONE_ANY" because the AI was in fact able to still play cards with flashback at instant speed.
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir (w/ Art): https://www.dropbox.com/s/z3uew39gf61i9 ... ip?v=0rc-s

I find some error from your Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, and I think the third ability of it is simpler to use PLAYER_CHARACTERISTIC_CANT_CAST_SPELLS, of course the effect should be same.

That's my fault, I often forget about that characteristic...

Actually I don't know if this counts abilities as well... they are on the stack even if they are invisible. It would need testing.

Yes, I change TRIGGER_BECAME_TARGET to TRIGGER_TARGETS_CHOSEN, and because it just for test with Ink-Treader Nephilim, so I limit it to instant or sorcery. I will del that, and this is my Livewire Lash. Please see if there is anything wrong?

[thefiremind]

I think you made a good set of conditions for SecondaryObject, but I can't really understand what you are doing on this card and on Wild Defiance with all those ObjectDC registers...

[sumomole]

I think you made a good set of conditions for SecondaryObject, but I can't really understand what you are doing on this card and on Wild Defiance with all those ObjectDC registers...

Because TRIGGER_BECAME_TARGET has a bug, if you use Flames of the Firebrand to target Ashenmoor Liege three times, you will lose 12 life.

Uhm... I had to think about it for a moment, but yeah, that's a bug... and it affects 2 official cards, so those developers really didn't like to work too much...

These two cards are coded in last summer, now I think we can use DuelDataChest to instead of ObjectDC, just like the code of Vorel of the Hull Clade.

Hey guys,

I had been watching Multieyemeteors videos on youtube about modded decks and decided to give it a try. I've managed to make some basic cards but i'm looking for a bit of help with one i'm working on just now. I was trying to make Hidden Spider but I couldn't see a way to change a card's primary type, in this case changing an enchantment to a creature. Even if I could remove it's original type would be enough. I've got the trigger working fine at the moment but if I just add the creature type it make this horrible creature/enchantment compound card which seems to crash the game. Do you have any advice on how I could get this to work?

Thanks

Do you have any advice on how I could get this to work?

I'm not sure if it works since some of the functions that mess with types/sub-types/supertypes aren't accessible, but the way to do that should be:

Code: Select all

    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="3">
    local source = EffectSource()
    if source ~= nil then
       local characteristics = source:GetCurrentCharacteristics()
       characteristics:CardType_GetWritable(source):Clear()
       characteristics:CardType_GetWritable(source):Add( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE, source )
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>

The doubt is whether Clear() is accessible for card types or not.

Anyway you'll have to deal with another problem: CHARACTERISTIC_FLYING isn't enabled when the spell is on the stack, so you can't check if a spell has flying. The only way to do that would be to search the spell's card name in a list of creature cards with flying... but that list would be huuuuuge.

[CrazyJawas]

Thanks thefiremind, thats great.

But yeah i've misread that card, the trigger isn't as easy as I thought. I had just been doing it when it came into play but I suppose that's wrong.

Code: Select all

<TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_END" to_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY">
    return (TriggerObject() ~= Object() and TriggerObject():GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) ~= 0 and TriggerObject():GetCurrentCharacteristics():Characteristic_Get( CHARACTERISTIC_FLYING ) ~= 0)
   </TRIGGER>
