Card Creation Request Thread

[thefiremind]

I had just been doing it when it came into play but I suppose that's wrong.

Code: Select all

<TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_END" to_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY">
    return (TriggerObject() ~= Object() and TriggerObject():GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) ~= 0 and TriggerObject():GetCurrentCharacteristics():Characteristic_Get( CHARACTERISTIC_FLYING ) ~= 0)
   </TRIGGER>

That trigger would be verified also for putting a card with flying onto the battlefield with Elvish Piper (and you forgot to check if the creature belongs to an opponent, by the way). There's no way to do exactly what Hidden Spider needs, except for the method I wrote earlier, but the card wouldn't be worth that effort in my opinion.

Haha I think your right now!

Seeing there aren't many "kinship" cards available, I'm requesting Wolf-Skull Shaman. thanks!

Tested and it works, as far as I can tell, without any problems.

Contains art and card, but uses the same default wolf tokens as Garruk's deck, if you want another type of 2/2 token, for example the one from the set, I can make that in a few minutes, just didn't see a point since there are already wolf tokens in game.

I think I found one very simple way to code kinship.

Code: Select all

     <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION id="0">
    local player = EffectController()
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:May()
    filter:NotTargetted() 
    filter:SetPlayer( player ) 
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_LIBRARY ) 
    filter:SetPortion( 1 ) 
    player:SetTargetCount( 1 ) 
    player:ChooseTarget( NO_VALIDATION, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CARD", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local top_card = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0) and EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
    local filter = Object():LoadTargetDefinition(0)
    filter:SetSubTypes( Object():GetSubType() )
    filter:AddExtra( FILTER_EXTRA_ANY_SUB_TYPE )
    if top_card ~= nil and filter:CountStopAt( 1 ) == 1 then
      top_card:GuidedReveal( ZONE_LIBRARY , ZONE_LIBRARY )
      MTG():PutTokensIntoPlay( "TOKEN_WOLF_2_2_277478", 1, EffectController() )
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Awesome. That is definitely a lot shorter.

I just modified code from one of Sensation Gorger and made it make a token with a line from Master of the Wild Hunt, which I just happened to have up compare to my Breeding Pit (to see why it wasn't making tokens at the beginning of the end step).

I'll use your shorter code in the future though, more to the point and easier to understand.

Is cavern of souls possible? if so, I would like to request it.

No.

I am working on Kazuul Warlord and have the following code to give triggers to allys whenever Kazuul Warlord enters the battlefield. It gives +1/+1 counters to all allys except for itself. I've made a workaround for this but I am wondering what I'm doing wrong?

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
    <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_END" simple_qualifier="self" to_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY" />
    <FILTER>
    return (FilteredCard() ~= nil and
    FilteredCard():GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) ~= 0 and
    FilteredCard() ~= Object() and
    FilteredCard():GetSubType():Test( CREATURE_TYPE_ALLY ) ~= 0 and
    FilteredCard():GetZone() == ZONE_IN_PLAY and
    FilteredCard():GetPlayer() == Object():GetPlayer())
    </FILTER>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
        if FilteredCard() ~= nil then
           FilteredCard():AddCounters( MTG():PlusOnePlusOneCounters(), 1 )
        end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

You have:

Code: Select all

FilteredCard() ~= Object() and

Which says not to include this in the filter (so simply remove this line).

Well that would make a lot of sense. Thanks. I am still trying to understand the basics from plagiarizing other cards. Thanks for the deck builder btw. It was very helpful.

I have another quick question... I am not familiar at all with the syntax. How could I insert a comment or comment block?

Quite often it is the simple errors we overlook.

I am still trying to understand the basics from plagiarizing other cards.

That can take a while, it's best to start from the simple cards and work your way up to the more difficult ones. Though some people learn better by working on the hard stuff first.

Thanks for the deck builder btw. It was very helpful.

You're welcome, it was intended to be helpful.

I have another quick question... I am not familiar at all with the syntax. How could I insert a comment or comment block?

I assume you mean inserting a code comment in the LUA code (the coding used for card abilities and functions). In that case two dashes, "--" starts a code comment. There aren't really any block comments (each line needs to have the double dash at the beginning). If you are talking about the XML (probably not what you meant, but included for completeness) then just put in an XML Comment block "<!-- -->".

Comment examples:

Code: Select all

<STATIC_ABILITY>
  <!-- This is an XML Comment.
        That spans multiple lines.-->
  <CONTINUOUS_ABILITY>
    -- This is a LUA comment
    --  now spanning a couple of lines.
  </CONTINUOUS_ABILITY>
</STATIC_ABILITY>

Well this seems the most appropriate place to plop this since a friend of mine requested I make it for them and I out of principle just won't make a deck with it...

I present one of the most broken combo cards in MtG: Intruder Alarm.

Let the ceaseless Elvish Piper, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Splinter Twin combos commence... to go with the way over-used moxes I suppose...

Fire i have a question for you i've updated the cabal cofers with your mana token functions it it's working great but it generates an error can you please take a look

[thefiremind]

The error is that the variable named total can't be passed from an action to another one, unless you save it in an EffectDC register. This is how you should do it:

Code: Select all

    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local total = 0
    local filter = Object():GetFilter()
    filter:Clear()
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
    filter:AddSubType( LAND_TYPE_SWAMP )
    filter:SetController( EffectController() )
    filter:NotTargetted()
    total = filter:Count()
    CreateManaTokens( COLOUR_BLACK, total, EffectDC():Make_Chest(1) )
    EffectDC():Set_Int(2, total)
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    RemoveRedundantTokens( EffectDC():Get_Int(2), EffectDC():Get_Chest(1) )
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    CheckManaPool()
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Be aware that your log also shows that you forgot the parentheses after EffectController() in other 2 cards.
