I'm have a problem with getting it to accept sacrificing a Snow-Covered Swamp. I saw that recently you guys expanded the code to recognize card names in some cases, so I thought that might do the trick, put it didn't work. Is there currently a way to get it to accept sacrificing a Snow-Covered Swamp?

Also, concerning Wandering Mage's third ability. Is it currently possible to put a counter as an activation cost? I've seen cards that have removing counters as a cost with MagicRemoveCounterEvent. I tried to use MagicAddCounterEvent and MagicPutCounterEvent, but neither worked. Did I get the name wrong, or is that currently unavailable?

PalladiaMors wrote:new MagicTargetChoice("a snow Swamp to sacrifice") doesn't work. I tried to switch to Mountain instead, and then the card works fine. I think there's some kind of "filter" problem with Swamps in this case?

Edit: Trying to do Wandering Mage's third ability. Sorry to annoy you guys, but I can't get the MagicAddCounterEvent "structure" right. Tried MagicAddCounterEvent(source,target,counter type,amount) but it didn't work. What's the correct structure? Again I'm sorry, I just can't find any example of this in the costs.

                new MagicPayManaCostEvent(source,"{B}"),
      new MagicAddCounterEvent(source,MagicTargetChoice.TARGET_CREATURE_YOU_CONTROL,MagicCounterType.MinusOne,1)

English isn't my native language and maybe somehow I managed to say something I didn't mean to, but I 100% honestly didn't mean these questions as "requests", I was just trying to understand if those things were doable or not. If you place yourself in my shoes, you know, someone with zero technical knowledge of programming - my major was in History - it can be hard to tell if I'm making a mistake or trying to do something that can't be done by me.

And it can't be stressed enough: you guys ARE the greatest. Dumb or not I've been around the block and I guess by now my opinion on this might have some weight: I think Magarena is currently the biggest thing going on for the future of the online Magic community. If I can, in my clumsy way, help you guys with 0,0001% of the work without getting in the way, I will try my best to.

Hugs and hetero kisses.

PalladiaMors wrote:I think I might have gotten lucky today when I submitted Ramosian Rally, Orim's whatever and Lashknife. I defined and used the name PLAINS_CONDITION, thinking it wasn't previously coded. I playtested the cards and they seemed to work perfectly - the alternate cast is only available if you control a plains & control an untapped creature - so I thought I had done everything right. However, trying to use the same technique for other cards, I figured out that it seems I can't really define such cast conditions in the groovy - any name other than <landtype>_CONDITION will crash. And the land conditions consist simply in controlling a land of that specific type.

So I'm thinking I might actually not have "defined" anything, luckily used the name of an already existing condition without knowing it, and it only activates when there's an untapped creature because that's in the cost, it has nothing to do with my "definitions". Anyway, if this blabber is comprehensible, can anybody please confirm this?

Edit: Oh and I forgot a random damage.getTarget() in the middle of Putrid Warrior's groovy

Code: Select all

new MagicTargetChoice(<target choice text to be converted to a target filter>);

Code: Select all

def choice = new MagicTargetChoice("an untapped creature you control");

    public boolean accept(final MagicSource source) {
        return source.getController().getNrOfPermanents(MagicType.Creature) >
            source.getController().getNrOfPermanents(MagicType.Land)
    }
}

[
    new MagicCardActivation(
        [NICE_CONDITION, MagicCondition.CARD_CONDITION],
        new MagicActivationHints(MagicTiming.Removal,true),
        "Pay Life"

        public Iterable<MagicEvent> getCostEvent(final MagicCard source) {

PalladiaMors wrote:Shawnie, when you have the time, could you please explain what's the name of the cost event that bounces something to it's owner's hand, as seen in Daze? I've looked hard for that but you guys were VERY throughout with doing those in pure script form, I can't find a single groovy case. I checked Daze's history but it seems to have been added already in script form. Thanks a bunch!

Code: Select all

MagicBounceChosenPermanentEvent(MagicSource,MagicPlayer,MagicTargetChoice);
MagicBounceChosenPermanentEvent(MagicSource,MagicTargetChoice);
