Basic Card.xml format

[omnix32]

Morning here. Last post, thanx everyone!!! will try to get interent somehow.

My ICY does allow a choice of untapped creatures now.

I tried variations of the choose "Playtime"

ChooseTarget( "ChooseTargetUntappedCreatureLandArtifacts" )

Choosetarget ( "LandArtifactCreatureUntapped" )

This is where I was getting hung up.

ChooseTarget( "ChooseTargetUntappedCreature" )
Was just a copy and paste from Code already there. It works perfect for tapped creatures.

Also, it could have been the card pool where I added cards from the deck. Not sure if that would effect anything. I have been putting new cards in the Card folder (Outside of the core files) and making my decks from that. I did not stay consistant with updating the card everytime I changed it, until my last attempt which worked. So not sure if it was related to updating the card and working as intended. I am still pretty sure that those cards are just placer cards and the program should read the card from the actual core. Still clueless about this code stuff.

Have fun everyone!!! No clue when I will be back, but I will.

No the program read the card from the palce you have it.
ChooseTarget( "ChooseTargetUntappedCreature" )
This calls a function and this function calls in the TEXT_PËRMANENT XML the message to display for
"ChooseTargetUntappedCreature" as an example the card SOUL NET:
<PLAYTIME>
ChooseGainLife() <---Calling a Function to Ask a choice
</PLAYTIME>
<COST qualifier="Conditional" type="Mana" cost="{1}" />
<EFFECT>
YouGainLife( 1 )
</EFFECT>
and in my new created TARGETS.LUA
function ChooseGainLife()
ChooseTarget( "Pay1ManaToGainLife" )
end
Here is the funcion called Note that is not a function per se, it only Display from the TEXT_PERMANENT the text for "Pay1ManaToGainLife" that is "Want to pay 1 mana to gain 1 life?"

Hope i can finish soon the alpha update so you can analyze all this

You need to add a new message for it to show ChooseCreatureArtifactLandInPlay.
The code should look like:

Code: Select all

I thought as much, then my code for my Icy was just wrong, until my last attempt with just the creature tap. That is why I went with the creature tap as the code is already written for a untapped check and for creatures.

Would love to anylyze what you have.... but hard to do as the computer is heading for a box and I'll be @#$%#@#$%# if I am paying for dial up speed the same price I am paying for 10 MbPS 1.00 MBPS.

--------------------------------------
Dag nab it!!! I had all that code except the last part.

Object():GetFilter():SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
Object():GetPlayer():SetTargetCount( 1 )
Object():GetPlayer():SetTargetPrompt( 0, "ChooseCreatureArtifactLandInPlay")--had this except InPlay
Object():GetPlayer():ChooseTargets()

Where do you get the InPLAY

No check for tapped/Untapped though, but you can't idiot proof everything.

Ah......carry on... computer going in box......thanx though.....

Have fun.

ChooseCreatureArtifactLandInPlay is an arbitrary made name that will link to the message that shows when you need to target.
As for checking for tapped, untapped; MtG rules say that you can target any creature, artifact or land, however if it's already tapped then the activated ability does nothing as you can't tap a tapped permanent.

Aren't you working with DotP 2013? If that is the case then why would you want this as it only works for DotP 2010?
