Card Creation Request Thread

[RiiakShiNal]

Hi, may I request Auriok Steelshaper for DoTP2013? Thanks in advance!

There is no way to reduce activation costs in DotP 2013 so I'm afraid Auriok Steelshaper is impossible to make.

Hey guys,

I can only assume that the Genju of the Falls cant be coded?

I am in dire need of this card.

Hey guys,

I can only assume that the Genju of the Falls cant be coded?

I am in dire need of this card.

It can be coded, but is this a request for DotP2014 or 2013? I'm not following this thread anymore since we started another one for DotP2014 requests in the 2014 sub-section. In case your request is for DotP2014, you'll find it coded in that thread.

[Rickycoe123]

Err it's for 2013. But I will be needing it for 2014 when I start modding in that game.

[Necropotence]

someone could create Necropotence and Yawgmoth's Will?

[Rari]

Stuck trying to make Scavenging Ooze and would appreciate any help. It is treating any card exiled this way as if it was a creature.

Code: Select all

TARGET tag="CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CARD_TO_EXILE" definition="0" compartment="0" count="1" />
    <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_GRAVEYARD )
    filter:SetHint( HINT_ENEMY )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local target = EffectDC():Set_Targets:Get_CardPtr(0)
    if target ~= nil then
      if target:GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) ~= 0 then
        if EffectSource() ~= nil then
          EffectSource():AddCounters( MTG():PlusOnePlusOneCounters(), 1 )
        EffectController():GainLife( 1 ) 
      end
      end
       target:Exile()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

I've also been drawing a blank with how to code a few other M14 cards, so figured I'd post a request for them.

• Angelic Accord
• Artificer's Hex
• Elite Arcanist
• Strionic Resonator
• Verdant Haven (I felt like I was getting close, but it would get stuck in a loop!)
• Voracious Wurm

When asking cards for DotP2014 you should really consider using the other topic here, all the modders are frequently checking that one.

Stuck trying to make Scavenging Ooze and would appreciate any help. It is treating any card exiled this way as if it was a creature.

You are still using DotP2013 syntax. This

Code: Select all

    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()

should be

Code: Select all

    local filter = ClearFilter()

while filter:SetHint isn't used anymore and it has been replaced by

Code: Select all

<AI_SIMPLIFIED_TARGETING compartment="0" hint="HINT_ENEMY" />

and finally,

Code: Select all

target:GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) ~= 0

always returns true because in DotP2014 those tests return true or false, which are both different from 0. I'd suggest you to start from a DotP2014 card when coding cards for DotP2014: if you look at a DotP2013 card you'll end up confusing the different syntaxes.

I've also been drawing a blank with how to code a few other M14 cards, so figured I'd post a request for them.

• Angelic Accord: I think it would require to save the life gains of each player in players' data chests, since there's no interrogation for life gaining. It should be possible this way.
• Artificer's Hex: quite easy:
  

  Code: Select all

    <TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
    -- Substitute this line with localised text
    <TRIGGER value="BEGINNING_OF_PLAYERS_STEP" simple_qualifier="controller">
    return MTG():GetStep() == STEP_UPKEEP
    </TRIGGER>
    <INTERVENING_IF>
    return ( EffectSource() and EffectSource():GetParent() and EffectSource():GetParent():GetParent() ) ~= nil
    </INTERVENING_IF>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local parent = ( EffectSource() and EffectSource():GetParent() and EffectSource():GetParent():GetParent() )
    if parent ~= nil then
       parent:Destroy()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

  Then you just need to make the "Enchant Equipment" ability: copy an Enchant creature ability and substitute the filter for creatures with

  Code: Select all

  filter:Add(FE_SUBTYPE, OP_IS, ARTIFACT_TYPE_EQUIPMENT)

• Elite Arcanist: the problem here is getting the converted mana cost of the exiled card inside a COST block, which is the same issue that prevented me from coding Prototype Portal. I don't think there's a solution, but that's just me.
• Strionic Resonator: you can't point to abilities in DotP games.
• Verdant Haven: you need RiiakShiNal's mana functions for this, and you need to use his manual lands.
• Voracious Wurm: same as Angelic Accord.

Hey guys, any news on that Genju of the Falls?

I have completed a few decks for 2013 (gotta keep it alive)... just need this card to complete another deck. (illusions/monoblue).

[thefiremind]

In case it wasn't clear from the other post, I don't code for DotP2013 anymore, I didn't even keep the game installed, so don't count on me.

[Rickycoe123]

Its ok, ill depend on the nice community

[thut11]

Hello guys,

I have become quite intrigued by the art of card coding I am trying to finish my first deck but currently stuck at Ooze Flux. I would like to request it, if possible to code. Also Master of Cruelties would be nice. For dotp 2014 btw

[Kieran]

Can someone help me make this Land Tax code work?

The person that requested this card for her deck says that she hasn't quite move on to 2014 yet. If someone can take a look @ the code and let me know what to add, change, or omit that'll be excellent. Thanks in advance.

If someone can take a look @ the code and let me know what to add, change, or omit that'll be excellent. Thanks in advance.

You (or whoever made the code) declared the variable "my_lands" but then you referred to it as "mylands": you need to uniform the names.
