General XML/LUA Editing Findings
Posted: 01 Jul 2010, 07:56
I've taken it upon myself to start this thread with the hopes that people will have somewhere to post to enter into completely random discussions with regards to the editing of DotP.
I was prompted to make this thread last night after I noticed that Shadow is mentioned in the KEYWORDS.LUA file and decided to build a creature using it.
On first testing the opponent who could not block my creature with Shadow decided to cast a Giant Growth on his creature that couldn't block, thus wasting it.
I have assumed the AI didn't realise it wasn't blocking, which is a bit weird. I would've thought the Giant Growth would've only been cast as an instant after declaring blockers, so maybe it's just the AI pretending to be a random silly human.
Once I've had a more thorough test of Shadow, I'll get back to you with my findings.
Like I said before, this thread is for saying anything at all random that you discover/try/fail. The more information people bring to the community the more ideas we'll have and can take things further.
For starters, if anyone fancies it, feel free to have a poke around the KEYWORDS.LUA file for other abilities like Shadow that aren't actually featured on any cards in the game, and then playtest them to see if they react the way you think they should.
On an another topic, you can find my current notes on the trigger for creatures' "triggered abilities" at the following page:

If you have anything to add to it, let me know and I'll change it.
