java code for Ward Sliver

[kdesmond]

I'm trying to create java code for the card "Ward Sliver" and I am having some issues. The following is what I have so far:

Code: Select all

public class Ward_Sliver {


      public static final MagicWhenComesIntoPlayTrigger T = new MagicWhenComesIntoPlayTrigger() {
      @Override
      public MagicEvent executeTrigger(final MagicGame game,final MagicPermanent permanent, final MagicPlayer player) {
         
         return new MagicEvent(
               permanent,
               player,
               new MagicMayChoice(
                     "Choose a color",                           
                     MagicColorChoice.ALL_INSTANCE),
                     new Object[]{player},
                     this,
                     "You may$ Choose a color$." +
               " All Slivers have protection from chosen color.");
      }

      @Override
      public void executeEvent(final MagicGame game,final MagicEvent event,final Object data[],final Object[] choiceResults) {

         //final MagicColor color=(MagicColor)choiceResults[1];
         //MagicAbility ability = color.getProtectionAbility();
         //final long givenAbilityFlags = ability.getMask();
      
      };

      };

   
     /* public static MagicStatic genABStatic(final long givenAbilityFlags) {
     
          return new MagicStatic(MagicLayer.Ability, MagicTargetFilter.TARGET_SLIVER) {
              @Override
              public long getAbilityFlags(
                  final MagicPermanent source,
                  final MagicPermanent permanent,
                  final long flags) {
                  return flags | givenAbilityFlags;
                 //return flags | MagicAbility.ProtectionFromRed.getMask();
              }
             
          };
      }*/
     
   public static final MagicStatic S = new MagicStatic(
         MagicLayer.Ability,
         MagicTargetFilter.TARGET_SLIVER) {
      
      @Override
      public long getAbilityFlags(final MagicPermanent source,final MagicPermanent permanent,final long flags) {
         //return flags | ability.getMask();
         return flags | MagicAbility.ProtectionFromRed.getMask();
         
      }
   };
};


which compiles and runs fine, but doesn't have the desired behaviour; for now it just gives Slivers protection from red because I hard-coded it in. I'm trying to find a way to pass the choice of colour for the protection ability to MagicStatic (as you can see by the parts that I commented out).

If anyone has some suggestions I would be glad to hear. I have been stubbornly trying to resolve this myself but I am not a java programmer and I've reached the limit of what I can figure out quickly by looking at scripts for other cards. Thanks!!

Hi kdesmond, welcome to the forum and to Magarena modifications

The solution in this case is to create the MagicStatic object and add it to the game as part of the resolution of the trigger. See src/magic/card/Aven_Mimeomancer.java.

The executeEvent for the trigger should look something like the following:

Code: Select all

@Override
public void executeEvent(
    final MagicGame game,
    final MagicEvent event,
    final Object data[],
    final Object[] choiceResults) {

    final MagicColor color=(MagicColor)choiceResults[1];
    MagicAbility protection = color.getProtectionAbility();
    game.doAction(new MagicAddStaticAction((MagicPermanent)event.getSource(), new MagicStatic(
        MagicLayer.Ability,
        MagicTargetFilter.TARGET_SLIVER) {
        @Override
        public long getAbilityFlags(final MagicPermanent source,final MagicPermanent permanent,final long flags) {
            return flags | protection.getMask();
        }
    ));
};


Looking forward to have the first real "Sliver" in the game (besides Venser's Sliver).

This worked like a charm, thank you!

Now I just have to remove the "may" part from the colour choice, and it should be ready to submit.
