[Epiphany]

Sorry you must wait until my next release

Lol I'm going to keep bugging you for a release now! :p

Buyback makes up like 10% of Tempest!

As i am busy with my "ARTIFACTS CYCLE" DLC here is the code:

Code: Select all

    <TRIGGERED_ABILITY tag="XXXXX_RULE_1" zone ="Any" dont_ask="0" layer="0">
    <TRIGGER value="SPELL_PLAYED">
        return SelfTriggered()
      </TRIGGER>
      <COST qualifier="Conditional" type="Mana" cost="{1}" />
      <TARGET_DETERMINATION>
           return TargetPermanentNeutralBad()
      </TARGET_DETERMINATION>
      <PLAYTIME>
        ChooseTarget( "ChoosePermanentReturnToHand" )
      </PLAYTIME>
      <EFFECT>
        ReturnTargetCardToOwnersHand()
      ReturnThisCardToOwnersHand()
      </EFFECT>
      <ELSE_EFFECT>
       ReturnTargetCardToOwnersHand()
      PutThisCardInGraveyard()
      </ELSE_EFFECT>
    </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
  </CARD>
</MULTICARDS>

ENJOY!

<3 Thank you sir!!

Will give it a go in a minute! That's loads more Tempest cards I can make now!

[Epiphany]

Hmm, it works for me, except if I don't have any untapped lands it does neither effect.

dang! details, details!!!

really?? didnt noticed that...il check it later

[Epiphany]

I've created a new wiki page, I don't know if I'll be able to keep it up to date, but we'll see!

http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/List_ ... s_released

What do you guys think?

Hehe, good luck mate!

Page could be nice to keep track of cards... Since we don't really syncrhonize efforts.
I was also thinking of "card code" pages that would reflect approved and working coding of a card.

Let's say i have a possibly working code for a card : Martial Coup. There may be some mistakes (filters left out, bad layers, etc...) so people could comment on it.

When approved, it is 'stickied' as the code reference for the card, and then for example, assigned a 'reserved' picture value so that nobody would erroneously uses.

That's just random ideas :p

BTW, i created a new page on the wiki : http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/DOTP_Card_Tags

Some tags parameters i don't have a clue about, feel free to add some more infos !

Maybe if we called them "wiki\Card_name(DotP_Code)" to keep it organised? I'm happy to see a system like that in place.

Looks fantastic mate! I really like it. The more help the better.

I added the following:

[[Category:DotP_Editing]]

At the top, which basically tells the wiki what category it's in.

I also set the word "triggered" near the bottom to link to my list of triggers, hope that's ok.

[Uresti]

seems that i know now what was fixex with the Updates 1 and 2 i installed them (ajem, ajem dont ask wich version do i have) now DOTP just read LUA SCRIPTS from CORE.WAD, at least my MISC.LUA doesnt work anymore :/

[Epiphany]

Does anyone know how to ask the player to tap 5 creatures as part of an activated ability then destroy another creature?

I'm trying to do Catapult Master for my Soldier theme deck.

[logoliv]

I have a question guys : do you know exactly what's the difference between <PRE_EFFECT> and <PLAYTIME> in cards ? When to use the first / second ?

[Uresti]

You use playtime to ask for a target/question when targeting something
Pre_effect is used generally after declared an ABILIY EVENT (trigger, Static, Utility, Activated, Spell) and contains code
hope that helps!

I haven't found any reference to it on the Wiki or the like, but there's also the HIT_GRAVEYARD trigger, which I've used successfully for Kalastria Highborn.

What is this? <general realRainFx="0.000000" />

This line is found in the saved game folder in a file called

realisticInfos.xml

It is the last line of code before the close

<general realRainFx="0.000000" />

Please don't just tell me it is something to do with the rain.
