Come into play tapped unless you pay 2 life

I was coding Blood Crypt while i found this little problem. I will start with the solution i am using to show what i want to achieve.

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY active_zone="ZONE_TRANSITION" replacement_query="1">
  <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_TRANSITION" simple_qualifier="self" to_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY">
    EffectDC():Set_Int(0, EffectController():GetLifeTotal() > 2 and 1 or 0)
  ]]>
  </TRIGGER>

  <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">
    if EffectDC():Get_Int(0) == 1 then
      YesNoPrompt("CARD_QUERY_OPTION_PAY_2_LIFE")
    end
  </PLAY_TIME_ACTION>

  <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    if EffectDC():Get_Int(0) == 1 and Object():GetMultipleChoiceResult() == 0 then
      EffectController():LoseLife(2)
    else
      Object():ComesIntoPlayTapped()
    end
  </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

The code before this lines works ok, but i think the same effect can be achieved with a conditianl cost. Something like this:

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY internal="1">
  <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_END" simple_qualifier="self" to_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY" />

  <COST type="Life" points="2" qualifier="conditional" />
 
  <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION conditional="else">
    Object():ComesIntoPlayTapped()
  </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

The prolem is while the dialog about paying the cost is presented, the resolution time action never run. What's wrong?

My guess is that the "internal" has something to do with it. Have you tried with a "hybrid" between the 2 solutions? Something like:

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY active_zone="ZONE_TRANSITION" replacement_query="1">
  <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_TRANSITION" simple_qualifier="self" to_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY" />
  <COST type="Life" points="2" qualifier="conditional" />
  <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION conditional="else">
  Object():ComesIntoPlayTapped()
  </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

I was playing a little bit more with this today. You were right, internal="1" is the problem. After i removed it the conditional cost work as expected, same for the conditional action.
