Bottomless Pit Wont Trigger

[diabolicseraph]

Hi Folks,

Hope you could help out here.
I've been trying different combinations to make Bottomless Pit work but it just won't trigger properly.
Your assistance would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

You are doing a couple of things wrong here, but first, are you making this for DotP2012 or DotP2013? Having only 6 languages and the FRAMECOLOUR and COLOUR blocks make me think about DotP2012.

Hi!

I'm using it for 2013.

The Card Framework I got from one of the generator websites

This is the first time I've gone back to MTG for a long time, and I've been trying to rebuild my old deck from the day.

OK then, you are using a generator for DotP2012... may I suggest you to try my generator here? Not only it's specific for DotP2013, but it also auto-completes some of the simplest abilities (like flying, haste, etc.).

Anyway, the ability on Bottomless Pit should be:

Code: Select all

    <TRIGGER value="BEGINNING_OF_STEP">
    return TriggerPlayer():MyTurn() ~= 0 and MTG():GetStep() == STEP_UPKEEP
    </TRIGGER>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local player = TriggerPlayer()
    if player ~= nil then
       player:DiscardRandomCard()
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Your code has a "l_11_0" variable that you didn't declare anywhere, an "end" that has no beginning, and TriggerPlayer is missing the function parentheses ().

Thank You Much, Kind Sir!
