Adding new cards with Groovy

[hong yie]

How about when a token enter battlefield? Need a scrypt to make the token copy "essence of the wild".

No, MagicEnterAsCopy only works on the card itself, not on other cards.

will be available someday? i hope...

Anything can happen if someone decides to work on it. I would say this is more doable compared to mana pool or multiple targets.

Ok, have a problem here, any extra eyes will help:

Working on Bloodfire Infusion and hit a problem with sacrificing the enchanted permanent as a cost. (Code below) - Everything looks fine, and from the player's side, is fine, but when it comes to the AI, it crashes. A proper crash to desktop with nothing written to the log.

I'm sure it's the cost, as there's no other cards currently doing it (The closest I found was Slow Motion, but that's an effect not a cost and the only other card that does do it, is Betrothed of Fire). I'm assuming it's finding possibilities where the source.getEnchantedPermanent() is null or somesuch, but unsure how to fix it.

Code: Select all

name=Bloodfire Infusion
image=http://magiccards.info/scans/en/ap/57.jpg
value=2.500
rarity=C
type=Enchantment
subtype=Aura
cost={2}{R}
timing=aura
enchant=power,pos creature you control
requires_groovy_code
oracle=Enchant creature you control\n{R}, Sacrifice enchanted creature: Bloodfire Infusion deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to each creature.

Code: Select all

[
    new MagicPermanentActivation(
        new MagicActivationHints(MagicTiming.Removal),
        "Destroy"
    ) {
        @Override
        public Iterable<MagicEvent> getCostEvent(final MagicPermanent source) {
            return [
                new MagicPayManaCostEvent(source, "{R}"),
                new MagicSacrificeEvent(source.getEnchantedPermanent())
            ];
        }

        @Override
        public MagicEvent getPermanentEvent(final MagicPermanent source, final MagicPayedCost payedCost) {
            return new MagicEvent(
                source,
                payedCost.getTarget(),
                this,
                "SN deals damage equal to RN's power to each creature."
            );
        }

        @Override
        public void executeEvent(final MagicGame game, final MagicEvent event) {
            final MagicPlayer player = event.getPlayer();
            final int amount = event.getRefPermanent().getPower();
            game.logAppendMessage(player, "("+amount+")");
            CREATURE.filter(game) each {
                game.doAction(new DealDamageAction(event.getPermanent(), it, amount));
            }
        }
    }
]

Or there's a problem with the Aura going to the graveyard or being in the graveyard when the effect resolves.

I remember running into what I think is the same problem months ago when I tried to do Nature's Chosen (in that case it requires tapping the enchanted permanent as a cost rather than sacrificing). My brilliant solution on that case was... to give up doing the card! Obviously that doesn't help you, but I suspect there may be other cards with similar text. But it seemed to me that "recovering" the information about what's the enchanted permanent in the cost part of the script isn't supported. I didn't put that on the list thing because it seemed like there were too few cards like that, but maybe I was wrong. I think I also tried to do it by doing a custom permanent filter, but that didn't work either (I can't recall that too well anymore).

By the way, good job on the "X is the sacrificed creature's power/toughness" cards, looks like you hit gold there.

Was a surprisingly rich vein - There's still a few there, Feed the Pack wasn't co-operating. I do enjoy discovering a whole bunch of overlooked cards, it all began with the Isochron Scepter issue and additional costs.

The reason I've not simply discarded this one is that I can't even get an error out of it, just a crash, but I expect this might me one of those 'can't yet be done'
