Card Creation Request Thread

[NEMESiS]

Very simple question, when I want to draw 2 cards when I kick a spell how does it have to be made?

Code: Select all

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local kicker = Object():Kicked()
    if kicker ~= 0 then
       EffectController():DrawCard()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

That is from into the roil but I have tried mixing it with Divination but I can't seem to get it right....

If you just want to draw 2 cards when kicked then just double the calls to DrawCard():

Code: Select all

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local kicker = Object():Kicked()
    if kicker ~= 0 then
       EffectController():DrawCard()
       EffectController():DrawCard()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Or you could use the PlayerDrawCards() function:

Code: Select all

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local kicker = Object():Kicked()
    if kicker ~= 0 then
       PlayerDrawCards( EffectController(), 2 )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Try this:

Code: Select all

  <ACTIVATED_ABILITY auto_skip="1">
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[{1}{R}: Put a +1/+1 counter on Ashling the Pilgrim. If this is the third time this ability has resolved this turn, remove all +1/+1 counters from Ashling the Pilgrim, and it deals that much damage to each creature and each player.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <COST type="Mana" cost="{1}{R}" />
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectSource() ~= nil then
       EffectSource():AddCounters( MTG():PlusOnePlusOneCounters(), 1 )
    end
    ObjectDC():Int_Inc(0)
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if (ObjectDC():Int_Get(0) == 3) then
       local num_counters = EffectSource():CountCounters( MTG():PlusOnePlusOneCounters() )
       if (num_counters &gt; 0) then
          -- Deal damage to players
          for i=0,MTG():GetNumberOfPlayers()-1 do
             MTG():GetNthPlayer(i):DealDamage( num_counters, EffectSource() )
          end
          -- Deal damage to creatures
          local oFilter = Object():GetFilter()
          oFilter:Clear()
          oFilter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
          oFilter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
          local nCount = oFilter:EvaluateObjects()
          if (nCount &gt; 0) then
             for i=0,nCount-1 do
                local oCard = oFilter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
                if (oCard ~= nil) then
                   oCard:DealDamage( num_counters, EffectSource() )
                end
             end
          end
       end
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY internal="1" active_zone="ZONE_ANY">
    <TRIGGER value="TRIGGER_END_OF_TURN" />
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
      ObjectDC():Int_Set( 0, 0 )
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

Edit: Forgot to add the triggered ability to reset the count, now added.

Almost! it doesn't remove any counter after damage. and if I activate 3 more times after that, there's no damage.

Ahh, forgot about that, I really should stop coding when I'm tired.

Edit: As per the ruling: "You get the bonus only the third time the ability resolves. You won't get the bonus the fourth, fifth, sixth, or any subsequent times." it will only do the extra bit on the third activation in a turn, if you activate it 3 more times in the same turn it should not activate again.

Better! but I suggest you take a good rest. before reading further

it only triggers when there are 3 counters on it, so I can't put 2 counters then another 2 on next turn. it will reset at 3 everytime. sorry about that...

Actually, it does not trigger when there are 3 counters it triggers "If this is the third time this ability has resolved this turn", so yes you can add 2 counters one turn then 2 more the next turn, and so on.

Maybe we both need some rest.

Edit: Nevermind, I misread what you meant there. I have an error in my internal TRIGGERED_ABILITY:
The TRIGGER should be:

Code: Select all

    <TRIGGER value="END_OF_TURN" />

I really do need some rest.

@Sumomole, for some reason Survival Cache does not rebound. I even copied and pasted it from Distortion Strike and no luck.

Rebound effect has two parts, the 1st part is in spell to exile itself, and the 2nd part is a trigger ability to play itself from exile. do you have copied and pasted both?

[castled]

I wanna have some cards below

special rule: If you have no card but the card you take from this effect, you can choose not to discard this one.

Apparently I had missed part of that.

Sorry to bother you.

You can find Doomsday & Gamble in my mod.
If you want to use Omnath, Locus of Mana, you need my mana token and mana fuction, since D13 is no mana pool, also, all mana source must can be manually tapped, for example, I have coded a FOREST_624993 that can be manually tapped, and more need to code your own.

[gorem2k]

Thefiremind, I hate to be picky and annoying but could you please recheck Crackleburr because if I start activating one of his abilities and I cancel it before it resolves, I can't reactivate later during my turn.... I sometimes pick the wrong creature when choosing targets. thanks a zillion, I like this card a lot!

plays fine. disregard

[NEMESiS]

Does anyone have Skeletal Scrying? Also, if someone can give me the graveyard ability for Undead Gladiator would be greatly appreciated.
