Card Creation Request Thread

[Scion of Darkness]

Thanks the first 2 cards are fixed but the last one its strange, i cant recall who made the card but the creator made the ability a spell ability so no sacrificing but when i converted it to trigger ability the sacrifice works bur no card search =S

[thefiremind]

After the sacrifice happened, EffectSource() will be nil because of the zone change, so you shouldn't check for it anymore. Do it this way:

Code: Select all

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectSource() ~= nil and EffectSource():GetController() == EffectController() and Object():GetMultipleChoiceResult() == 0 then
       EffectSource():Sacrifice( EffectController() )
       EffectDC():Set_Int(1, 1)
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectDC():Get_Int(1) == 1 then
       local filter = Object():GetFilter()
       local player = EffectController()
       player:MarkSearchedLibrary()
       filter:Clear()
       filter:May()
       filter:NotTargetted()
       filter:AddSubType( CREATURE_TYPE_DEMON )
       filter:SetZone( ZONE_LIBRARY )
       filter:SetPlayer( player )
       player:ChooseTarget( NO_VALIDATION, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CARD_TO_PUT_INTO_HAND", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectDC():Get_Int(1) == 1 then
       local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0) and EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
       if target ~= nil then
          target:GuidedReveal( ZONE_LIBRARY, ZONE_HAND )
          target:PutInHand()
       end
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectDC():Get_Int(1) == 1 then
       EffectController():ShuffleLibrary()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

I skipped the first RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION just because it's already OK, don't delete it by mistake.

Is Experiment Kraj possible? 'Cuz I will request that since it's my birthday.

Is Experiment Kraj possible? 'Cuz I will request that since it's my birthday.

No, there is no way to get and assign abilities from other creatures (or cards) unless they are assigned specifically by GrantAbility() using an associated resource_id. Most cards do not have abilities with resource_ids, and even if they did there is no way to iterate through them to grant them.

[nivmizzet1]

Is cavern of souls possible?

No.

Sorry, I'm guilty of not doing a search on this occasion. Thanks for taking the time. I didn't think it would be possible, oh well, it's not really an important component of the deck it was going to be in.

hey guys is Phyrexian Altar and Paleoloth available ? couldnt find in search.thx

I'm trying to code Sterling Grove using Greater Auramancy.
It gives shroud to every creatures I control so I think there's a problem with card's filter:

Code: Select all

<FILTER>
    local filteredCard = FilteredCard()
    local objectPlayer = EffectController()
    return (filteredCard:GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_ENCHANTMENT ) ~= 0) and
    (filteredCard:GetPlayer() == objectPlayer) and
    (filteredCard ~= nil and
    filteredCard ~= Object() and
    filteredCard:GetZone() == ZONE_IN_PLAY)
    </FILTER>


is it because of " filteredCard ~= nil and " ?

EDIT: nevermind... I forgot Ascetism was maybe in play while testing!

[RiiakShiNal]

Your filter should not affect creatures at all, but if your ability is set with filter_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY" then you can simplify the filter like this:

Code: Select all

<FILTER>
  return FilteredCard() ~= nil and FilteredCard() ~= Object() and EnchantmentsYouControl()
</FILTER>

EnchantmentsYouControl() is defined in FILTERS.LOL in Data_Core.wad (if you were wondering where I got that from, DotP2013 LOL files decoded).

"And"ing conditions together means that ALL "and"ed conditions must be true for the result to be true.

Edit: Just noticed your edit.

I am trying to code Riku of Two Reflections and I'm having problems with his copy instant/sorcery ability. Part of the problem is I don't understand the magic rules on how the card works. I have the came up with the following code and it works but I don't think it is right. First, I have it set up as an activated ability that can only be activated when the owner casts an instant/sorcery. I don't know if this is technically right but it works. I have his copy creature set up as a triggered ability that works when the owner casts a non-creature spell but I couldn't figure out how to get new targets from the copied instnat/sorcery. Secondly, the way I have card coded, you can continuously copy the spell if you have the mana. Again I don't know if this how the card is suppose to work or not. Any help is appreciated.

Code: Select all

  <ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
    <COST type="Mana" cost="{U}{R}" />
    <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_INSTANT )
    filter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_SORCERY )
    filter:SetController( EffectController() )
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_STACK )
    filter:SetHint( HINT_NEUTRAL, EffectController() )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>
    <TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    return AtLeastOneTargetFromDefinition(0)
    </TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">
    EffectController():ChooseTarget( 0, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_SPELL_TO_COPY", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )
    </PLAY_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
    if target ~= nil then
       EffectController():CopySpellWithNewTargets( target )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>

I believe Riku has already been made, just in case you didn't know.

I have been toiling for 3 days to get Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth up and working, since somewhere someone had mentioned it not possible to do correctly. Is there no way to add additional land types to lands or make them "count as" another land type?

I got this far with the code, which adds an activated ability to add one black to your mana pool. I only added that part because the additional land type wasn't showing up and I was making sure my filter was working correctly.

As far as the rules go, the ability only would trigger once to you playing the spell from your hand. Copies are never "cast" and are simply put onto the stack, which is why copies of spells won't trigger Storm, thank god.

Whoops I see that now. I can't read. I didn't see it there when I first searched the thread. Now I get to compare the right way vs. the wrong way in how to code a card.

Also, I am having issues with Killing Wave, in where if you just hit the cancel button, you neither have to sacrifice creatures or pay life for keeping them... which apparently the AI agrees is a good idea, making it kind of useless. lol
