[DOTP 2013] Custom deck

[Reaper]

Hello, i was making cards for a custom deck with own functions, however, im not able to get one card to work in the way i want it, maybe anyone of you can elaborate what i am doing wrong ?

This is an excerpt from the part which is not functioning correctly, what i am trying to achieve is a card, which gives all creatures, so even cards in hand, changeling, is this possible ?
I tried it this way :

Code: Select all

Thanks in advance for helping.

Try to remove

Code: Select all

FilteredCard():GetZone() == ZONE_ANY and

since you are already setting this with the filter_zone tag and I'm not sure about how it would be treated inside the filter, then change GetController with GetPlayer, so you are including cards that you own outside the battlefield (hand and graveyard).

Maybe you already know, but don't test the card just by looking at the changeling badge: you can't see badges in your hand, but that doesn't mean that your card doesn't work.

[Reaper]

true, i was not testing it with badges, was testing it with stats from cards like winged splicer, but im gonna try it now with getplayer

[Reaper]

Does not seem to work at all, not even for creatures which are in the game.

[thefiremind]

Then try to reduce the Multiverse ID's digits, the number you are using could be too big.

[Reaper]

Guess it is a no go then, tried now with 22811.

[thefiremind]

If you are not using theta version, try to delete your profile (eventually after making a backup copy) before each change to custom cards.

Thanks, did that, but sadly it did not fix it, but i appreciate the help alot.

ZONE_ANY does not seem to work for the filter_zone attribute (I had issues with this for another card) so you will probably either need to use multiple STATIC_ABILITY blocks to achieve this effect or manually iterate through all cards by filtering and evaluating them (can be done in a single ability but has more code).

Code: Select all

<CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6">
  local filter = Object():GetFilter()
  filter:SetZone( ZONE_ANY )
  filter:SetPlayer( EffectController() )
  filter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
  local count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
  if (count &gt; 0) then
    for i=0,count-1 do
      local card = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
      if (card ~= nil) then
        local characteristics = card:GetCurrentCharacteristics()
        if characteristics ~= nil then
          characteristics:Characteristic_Set( CHARACTERISTIC_CHANGELING, 1 )
        end
      end
    end
  end
</CONTINUOUS_ACTION>

If that doesn't work then you're probably going to have to use multiple static abilities to get it to work (one ability for each zone). You could edit the above to do the loop once for each zone, but again that's more work and more potential for bugs.

[Reaper]

Thanks alot to both of you, it was indeed the ZONE_ANY which gave the problem, but thanks for suggestions by both

Hello, if i want to add a colour to the creatures i do it like this ?

Code: Select all

<STATIC_ABILITY filter_zone="ZONE_HAND">   
   <FILTER>
    return (FilteredCard() ~= nil and
    FilteredCard():GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) ~= 0 and
    FilteredCard():GetZone() == ZONE_IN_PLAY and
    FilteredCard():GetPlayer() == EffectController() )
    </FILTER>
    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6">
    if FilteredCard() ~= nil then
       local characteristics = FilteredCard():GetColour()
       if characteristics ~= BLACK then
          characteristics:Colour_Add(BLACK)
       end
    end 
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
</STATIC_ABILITY>


Thanks in advance

[thefiremind]

characteristics ~= BLACK has no sense... characteristics is an object (and we don't know its internal structure) that contains the colors of the card and you can't access it like that. Moreover, the black color isn't defined as BLACK, but as COLOUR_BLACK.

If you look at Rise from the Grave you find this:

Code: Select all

    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="5">
    local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
    if target ~= nil then
       local characteristics = target:GetCurrentCharacteristics()
       characteristics:Colour_Get():Add( COLOUR_BLACK )
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>

so what you need is:

Code: Select all

    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="5">
    if FilteredCard() ~= nil then
       local characteristics = FilteredCard():GetCurrentCharacteristics()
       characteristics:Colour_Get():Add( COLOUR_BLACK )
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
