Card Creation Request Thread

[RiiakShiNal]

ok, i've found this in the script log:

Code: Select all

[lua] [string "MOMENT_OF_HEROISM_277046_TITLE (CONTINUOUS_ACTION) [1630]"]:2: attempt to index a nil value
[lua] [string "MOMENT_OF_HEROISM_277046_TITLE (CONTINUOUS_ACTION) [1629]"]:2: attempt to index a nil value
[lua]

but i do not have Moment of heroism in my deck. what gives?
i am starting to think that the crashing error might be somewhat connected to Crop Rotation, but i am still not certain:(

It is possible that Moment of Heroism is in your opponent's deck (all cards in the game are processed and any card regardless of which player is using it). It is also possible that Moment of Heroism is showing up from previous games and you are just now noticing it.

Of course it is always possible that what is causing the crash is not showing up in the script log because sometimes the first time the error occurs it is enough to crash the game (thus no entry in the script log because the game crashed before the log was written).

Unfortunately when tracking down crashes it is usually best to reduce the number of variables for example try any suspected cards by themselves in a deck that uses only pre-built or simple known good cards (sometimes you will need to run tests multiple times). Then if you can't reproduce the problem with any of the suspected cards by themselves start mixing them with the other suspected cards (starting off minimal like 2 suspected cards, if none of those combinations produce the crash then try combinations of 3, etc...) until you've tried all suspected cards. If you still haven't reproduced the crash then start adding the other originally non-suspected cards one at a time until you get the problem to reproduce. This is a very time consuming method, but it does usually produce results in figuring out what is bad or in what combinations is something bad.

How would I go about making it so a creature does not untap? Trying to make Leaden Fists and that's all I'm missing, and I can't seem to think of any card that does that already.

There are two ways that I know of to prevent untapping.

1. Use the characteristic, CHARACTERISTIC_DOESNT_UNTAP, to prevent untapping between end of turn and upkeep. (Note that this can be difficult to get right and could have issues mixing with other cards.)
2. At end of turn check to see if the enchanted object is tapped and if it is call TapAndHold() on it to prevent it from untapping at next upkeep. If it is untapped then do nothing (as we don't want to tap it for no reason). This may have issues of it's own, but I believe this would work better as it should allow other cards/abilities to untap the enchanted object.

Either way it would likely need to be done at every end of turn as I don't know of a way to figure out which player is going next (just who's turn it currently is) using the functions given to us.

[thefiremind]

Use the characteristic, CHARACTERISTIC_DOESNT_UNTAP, to prevent untapping between end of turn and upkeep.

This is the correct way to do that. Even if the constant name isn't detailed, CHARACTERISTIC_DOESNT_UNTAP does exactly what you need (it doesn't prevent untapping forever, you can always use abilities to untap).

Wirewood Symbiote
Seeker of Skybreak
those 4 cards would make my elf deck kick ass, please help me guys:)

The only card that can't be made of those four is Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger due to not being able to detect what color of mana a land produced when it was tapped for mana. Basic lands you can figure it out by checking the land that was tapped, but for multi-colour lands or non-basic lands that produce mana we have no clue which colour was produced.

The other 3 cards are pretty easy.

[loookaz]

i would greatly appreciate if someone could post them here. Genesis Wave + Titania Priest and another card that allows untapping it? sounds nice to me:)

[RiiakShiNal]

Apparently I had already coded Wirewood Lodge though I had not released it yet. So Wirewood Lodge is fully tested, Seeker of Skybreak and Wirewood Symbiote are untested but should work.

Wirewood Symbiote does use one of my functions RSN_Step() to make it slightly easier to code though can easily be changed to not use it. Also for returning an elf to owner's hand I use CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_PUT_INTO_HAND instead of making a new card query to be more accurate.

here are 3 elf deck cards made by RiiakShiNal. i just added the pictures

[thefiremind]

Wouldn't Wirewood Symbiote be less complex by using per_turn_limit="1" instead of the ObjectDC register? As far as I know, the only case in which per_turn_limit doesn't work is together with firebreathing="1" (and there's no firebreathing here ).
