Card Creation Request Thread

[RiiakShiNal]

I've had issues with the per_turn_limit queuing up activations such that it can activate the next turn even if you don't want it to if you tried to use it too many times in the current turn. So I code it like this to make sure something like that can't happen, though whether it is still an issue with the updated executable I don't know.

[STKL]

I don't know if this has been done yet and I'm sorry if it has and I'm just posting spam, but
I've been trying to make a add-on for goblin ganglands, just adding a few cards here and there.
The cards that I wanted to add were:
Goblin Lackey
Embermage goblin,
Gelectrode
Goblin Matron
Hematite Talisman
Lavaclaw reaches
Seige gang commander
Shrine of Burning rage
Goblin Recruiter
Goblin King

I have Seige gang commander, and embermage, matron, and Lackey all working fine.
I think the Gelectrode works, I have not tested it yet.

The card that I have the most problems with is Goblin Recruiter, I've tried and tried but I feel like I'm going in circles.
I was thinking of making it ask you HOW Many cards, then choosing cards.
I had it at 20, with the ability to finish early, then I changed it.. so many times.

And finally my last problem is lavaclaw reaches, the last part where you turn it into a 2/2 creature AND red elemental. I have not been able to find any code for it.

And finally my last problem is lavaclaw reaches, the last part where you turn it into a 2/2 creature AND red elemental. I have not been able to find any code for it.

Gelectrode is already coded by WotC in Expansion Pack 1, so you don't have to worry about coding it.

Goblin King is already coded in my mod, so unless you really want to code it you could just use it from there.

For examples on how to turn a land into a creature with a specific color and type look at Awakener Druid (which is in the base game).

As for Goblin Recruiter an easier way would probably be to use a repeating action to ask a play to select a goblin card from the deck (with the option to not pick a card using the May() function on the filter), then if they choose a card reveal it and put it into either a spot on the EffectDC that will not be overwritten or put it into a separate chest on the EffectDC with any other cards the player has chosen. Once the player chooses not to pick a goblin then you shuffle the deck and put the cards in the stored slots (or separate chest) on EffectDC on top of the deck.

Note: You have to Shuffle the library BEFORE you put the cards on top of it or they will be shuffled as well.

Does anyone happen to have made any of these cards by any chance:

Suffer the Past
Bottled Cloister
Wayfarer's Bauble
Syphon Mind
Blood Tyrant
Venser's Journal
Seer's Sundial

I know the most of them were on DotP 2012. I will take any of the available if they have been made. Thank you!

[STKL]

Are there any cards left for me to code
I hope all the easy ones are not taken .

[Whizard]

I would like it if someone could help me code Helm of Obedience

[thefiremind]

I would like it if someone could help me code Helm of Obedience

The "X can't be 0" condition cannot be coded: setting a maximum number for a numerical choice is possible (as in Phyrexian Processor), but setting a minimum number is not... unless you code as but then it would be very confusing for the player to select a number for and paying 1 more mana than expected.

If you think it's alright to ignore that condition, then I think this is what you need (localised text omitted):

Code: Select all

  <ACTIVATED_ABILITY dangerous="1">
    <AVAILABILITY>
    return Object():GetController():CanAfford("{1}") == 1 -- at least you need 1 free mana to activate it
    </AVAILABILITY>
    <COST type="Mana" cost="{X}" />
    <COST type="TapSelf" />
    <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:SetFilterType( FILTER_TYPE_PLAYERS + FILTER_TYPE_OPPONENTS )
    filter:SetOwner( EffectController() )
    filter:SetHint( HINT_ENEMY_ONLY, EffectController() )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>
    <TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    return AtLeastOneTargetFromDefinition(0)
    </TARGET_DETERMINATION>
    <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">
    EffectController():ChooseTarget( 0, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_OPPONENT", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )
    </PLAY_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local opponent = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0) and EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_PlayerPtr(0)
    if opponent ~= nil then
       local x = GetEffectX()
       if x &gt; 0 then
          for i=0,x-1 do
             local card = opponent:Library_GetNth(0)
             if card ~= nil then
                card:GuidedReveal( ZONE_LIBRARY, ZONE_GRAVEYARD )
                card:PutInGraveyard()
                if card:GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) ~= 0 then
                   EffectDC():Set_CardPtr(1, card)
                   break
                end
             end
          end
       end
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local creature = EffectDC():Get_CardPtr(1)
    if creature ~= nil then
       if EffectSource() ~= nil then
          EffectSource():Sacrifice( EffectController() )
       end
       creature:PutIntoPlay( EffectController() )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <AI_AVAILABILITY step="declare_attackers" turn="their_turn" />
    <AI_AVAILABILITY step="end_of_turn" turn="their_turn" />
    <AI_AVAILABILITY type="in_response_dangerous" />
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>

Otherwise, if you want to code it with (the choice is yours), you have 2 lines to edit:

Code: Select all

    <COST type="Mana" cost="{X}{1}" />

and

Code: Select all

          for i=0,x do

and you have to totally remove the "if x > 0" condition (without forgetting its "end").

[Whizard]

I dont think it matters if x is zero or not. If you use 0 mana it does nothing. I will try your code and update my deck with this card when it is good. Thank you very much.

[RiiakShiNal]

Actually if you use 0 mana it does do something, it taps. Now I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but if a card has an effect that does something when a card taps then it could matter, but I think it fairly unlikely.

[SoulStorm]

Is it possible to code Sen Triplets? The recent release of Mana Mastery has me contemplating a 2.0 version.

There are other cards I'm looking at as well, but I'm going to try to code some of the easier ones myself this time.

[thefiremind]

Is it possible to code Sen Triplets?

No because you can't play spells outside your hand except for free or with flashback.

[SoulStorm]

Thanks Firemind, I thought that would probably be the case.

Here are the cards I need that I think are doable:

Archangel's Light
Lazav, Dimir Mastermind [GTC]
Riku of Two Reflections (the code for this card should already be available, but I dont have it).
Gaea's Blessing
Punish Ignorance
Exploding Borders
Urban Evolution [GTC]

Many Thanks!

[thefiremind]

Gaea's Blessing was already requested and coded: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=4557&p=104557#p104557
Exploding Borders is in my mod.
Riku was in DotP2012 so you should be able to find it on kevlahnota's mod.
Lazav should keep his original name while copying, which is not possible.

The other ones are easy, I can code them later if nobody does it before.

[SoulStorm]

Thanks for the data and help Firemind. Riku isn't in kevlahnota's mod; I believe he reformulated some of the 2012 decks a bit and for whatever reason didn't want to use Riku.

Oh, could you do Mycosynth Wellspring too please?

Edit: Actually, I don't need Riku anymore, I just came up with a better idea!

[thefiremind]

I hope I didn't forget anything.

About Urban Evolution: the ability text is localised in all languages (except Korean) because I used the text from Harmonize and Explore. The card name and flavour text aren't localised in all languages because it would have been a pain to type all of them by hand from the preview card picture... if you care about a particular language, you can go to the GTC previews on the Wizards site and copy the localised text for yourself. And of course the card ID isn't the real Multiverse ID of the card because it's still unknown.
