[fixed]Sen Triplets - at times cant use opponent's hand

[Wally]

Describe the Bug:
Sen Triplets. On upkeep card triggers and opponent's hand is revealed (no prompt to select opponent though). A blank effects card is produced but there doesnt seem to be a way to cast spells from the opponent's hand.

Which card behaved improperly?
Sen Triplets

Which update are you using? (date, name)Which type? (duel, gauntlet, sealed deck)
version 6-2020 v3 a8bbff706, duel

The effect legacy is necessary to disable their spells. You cast spells from their hand by activating Sen Triplets. Does that dismiss the issue?

[Wally]

No, I have tried all combinations of clicking on Sen Triplets, the Rules Engine, the effects card or the AI hand. Nothing happens. Should the triplets be highlighted as activatable?

[drool66]

Yes it should. It works for me running from the MEGA folder. I'm trying to think what could be missing.
[edit] checked with all the update packages too & it runs fine. I don't know what could be going on.

If you didn't have a parameters error before saving in that game which could justify this and any error:
If you can post both yours and AI's deck maybe I can figure out what's happening.

[Wally]

Interesting. I've done some further testing.

With my generic green test deck, the triplets work fine and highlight as activatable normally. If I load the save I posted again however, even after a reboot and in a new session with no errors, its the same situation (not highlighted and not usable). There was no parameters error prior to the save or I would have posted that too.

So I recreated that exact game state in a new save, cheating all the required cards into hand and into play and watched carefully. Triplets seemed to work initially but within a turn had ceased to be highlightable. No crash and no obvious issue. Attached save is from that new game.

Have also attached both the decks involved.My deck (aaaaaaatest.dck) is just full of all the v3 latest patch cards for testing, the AI deck is just a random one from my playdeck.

I did run into this bug with your deck once but it is very tricky and I can't find when it happens.

[drool66]

It has to do with the check for the Special Effect card; remove that and Triplets works in your save. I don't see any reason this check should cause that issue though. The only reason the check is there is so Sen Triplets can't be activated before their ability triggers - not critical to the function of the card, but it avoids some unwanted interactions.

Also, Sen Triplets can't cast interrupts from opponent's hand - working on it.

Fixed in 7f336b938 ("Fix Sen Triplets - at times cant use opponent's hand", 2020-07-14). check_for_special_effects_card() returns the active_card_count[] number, which can be 0. Switched to boolean > -1
