That's right 5 left, though I'm currently experiencing some internet problems (download speeds ranging from 0.01Mbps to 22.47 Mbps [0.7 Mbps average] and upload speeds ranging from 0 bps to 2.71 Mbps [0.03 Mbps average], highly intermittent) so even if I finish up tonight I probably won't be able to release until sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening (AT&T is supposed to show up sometime tomorrow to figure out what's wrong, my suspicion is that they did something to the box at the front of the neighborhood that caused it, they are out there just about everyday doing something to it).

Once I release there will be a full list of (non-internal) functions along with parameters (and usage examples), a list of included cards, limitations of the method(s) I used, and of course the downloads. The manual tap functions, tokens, and modified basic land will be in one wad (that way if people want to make their own versions of some cards they can just use that wad), and the other cards and art in their own wads (cards will be separate from art so that if a bug is found they will only need to download the cards and not have to download the art again).

For Hero of Bladehold...

But you are also missing the TOKEN_REGISTRATION block (it needs to stay outside of the ability):
Code: Select all
<TOKEN_REGISTRATION reservation="1" type="TOKEN_SOLDIER_1_1_W_909003" />
------------------------
For Mirko Vosk...

The point is, your check should be
Code: Select all
card:GetCardType():Test(CARD_TYPE_LAND)
(which returns true or false).

You've got to be my favorite person here.

I changed both and they're working now. With the hero, I knew the player was supposed to be able to choose which player to have the tokens attack, but I didn't think it was possible to do (thank you for proving that wrong). And with the token registration, a) thank you for pointing that out and b) crap, now I have to go fix a few other cards. I've never noticed that block in other cards.

For Mirko, I honestly should have noticed the problem with that one, I was just so certain that the problem was with the way I was going through the cards and counting the lands rather than the way I was checking them, so I didn't even give it a second look.

Hello again.

I am having an issue with my Drowner Initiate. It asks me for a target before I even pay the {1}

(which I know is because it calls that first) but not only doesn't allow me to pay for the ability, it therefore doesn't mill either. I am working on a few other cards and figured I'd plop this here to see how a more adept coder would code this.

I was thinking of making it a separate triggered ability with a delayed trigger or something, but anyway here's my existing code:

Put this

Code: Select all: <UTILITY_ABILITY resource_id="1"> <COST mana_cost="{1}" type="Mana" /> </UTILITY_ABILITY>

between </TRIGGERED_ABILITY> and <SFX text="COMBAT_BLUNT_LARGE_ATTACK"... at the end. Mentor of the Meek has it, too. It's just not very obvious. With that, your code seems to work.

As for it asking for a target before even deciding whether or not to pay, Flameblast Dragon is an official card and does the same thing. At least your code allows the player to pay nothing. Flameblast Dragon makes me pay 1 whether I want to or not (but the card says 'may').

You're welcome.

And thanks to thefiremind and Sumomole for correcting Pendelhaven.

by **BloodReyvyn** » 10 Jul 2013, 04:48

Thanks man, I had totally overlooked that, being as I did sort of base the ability around Mentor of the Meek. Got it working great and even made it ignore targeting the player if you can't pay for the ability anyway. I do wish I could target only after paying for the ability, but it's a minor inconvenience at the moment.

Aside from the block that causes loss of life, I don't see an obvious reason it shouldn't work. But that block might be it. The continuous ability.

Try

Code: Select all: <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> if EffectController() ~= nil then EffectController():LoseLife( EffectSource():CountCounters(MTG():GetCountersType("Blood")) ) end </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Hopefully a) it works, b) you figure it out, or c) someone else can help because I need some sleep

Good luck!

1. There is a card that is giving me a headache... Bloodletter Quill.. The first ability won't activate could anyone take a look:

[code...code]

2. Dimir Charm won't let me choose the second ability (destroy a creature):

[code...code]

3. Mortus Strider won't come back from my Graveyard to my hand:

[code...code]

4. And Clutch of the Undercity won't take 3 damage from the opponent:

[code...code]

So my card are very insubordinate, so please help me get them in order.

Turns out I have to stay up for another hour or so. I had already noticed that my previous advice didn't work. I tried using the code provided by thefiremind for removing a +1/+1 counter from a creature I control ( Zameck Guildmage ) as part of a cost and partially succeeded. But the problem is that it has me targetting an artifact (because that's as far as I've gotten so far). Still working on that.

I think I can help with the Mortus Strider. The trigger should be one line

Code: Select all: <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_BEGIN" to_zone="ZONE_GRAVEYARD" from_zone="ZONE_BATTLEFIELD" /> <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

But I think the actual problem is that it's looking for a "target". In the resolution, 'card' is set to a target, but the card doesn't doesn't target anything. Try card = EffectSource() instead.

-------

For Clutch of the Undercity the problem might be that TriggerPlayer() refers to the player whose spell triggered the ability. But, it's not a triggered ability (and if it was, then you would be the triggerplayer). Instead, put this before the permanent is moved

Code: Select all: <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then local controller = target:GetPlayer() EffectDC():Set_PlayerPtr(1, controller) end </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

And put this after the permanent is moved

Code: Select all: <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> local player = EffectDC():Get_PlayerPtr(1) if player ~= nil then player:LoseLife( 3 ) end </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

Also, note that it is changed to LosesLife() rather than damage. This, by the way, I pulled directly from Crib Swap and Qountersquall. So, if it doesn't work, look at those two.

-------

Now for the charm, I'd start by making sure each target block has a unique id. Right now they're all set to 0. Then, make sure each reference to a target block refers to the correct id. Don't forget the Make_Targets(1) which will also need its own id. Finally, the resolution blocks each need a mode="#" where the # is which mode it should be active for. Only the first resolution has it set.

So far, with those changes, I have the following, but I have no idea if it works, I've only looked at it briefly. I'll test in a few minutes.

Edit: Alright, I got the Quill working. It appears that generic cost blocks require a <PREREQUISITE> block. I simply used

Code: Select all: <PREREQUISITE> return true </PREREQUISITE>

before the resolution block and it now works. The entire code for that ability looks like this

Code: Select all: <ACTIVATED_ABILITY> <LOCALISED_TEXT...LOCALISED_TEXT> <COUNTER_REGISTRATION name="Blood" proliferate="11" /> <COST type="Mana" mana_cost="{2}" /> <COST type="TapSelf" /> <COST type="generic"> <PREREQUISITE> return true </PREREQUISITE> <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> if EffectSource() ~= nil then EffectSource():AddCounters( MTG():GetCountersType("Blood"), 1 ) end </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> </COST> <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> EffectController():DrawCards(1) </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> if EffectController() ~= nil then EffectController():LoseLife( EffectSource():CountCounters(MTG():GetCountersType("Blood")) ) end </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>

@Xander9009:

Thanks dude! I've tested the cards and this is how it goes:

Dimir Charm : It now lets me pick the destroy option but it doesn't destroy the creature.

Bloodletter Quill: Works perfectly.

Mortus Strider: Still doesn't work.

Clutch of the Undercity: Works perfectly.

Dizzy Spell: I know you didn't touch it but worth saying still doesn't work.. :mrgreen:

Furthest I can get on Dimir Charm is the following. I redid it partly from scratch by copying from Izzet Charm and modifying. Its last ability which I modified from Brainstorm still doesn't work properly. It's close, but not quite there.

I didn't correct Dizzy Spell because I didn't notice it. It's a bit a mess

Please don't be offended if I tell you a bunch of stuff you already know. I don't know what you know and what you don't, so I'll just explain my reasons for everything, and if it helps, great; if you already knew that, no harm.

I see two things that might make it not work. The first reason I think it's not working is because the <TARGET tag...> has definition="1" but the target block has id 0. Changing the target tag to have definition 0 so it matches the target block. (While you're there, you might change the compartment to 0 as well. But that doesn't really matter, it just looks cleaner.)

So

Code: Select all: <TARGET tag="CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_LOSE_3_0" definition="1" compartment="1" count="1" />

becomes

Code: Select all: <TARGET tag="CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_LOSE_3_0" definition="0" compartment="0" count="1" />

The second reason is that resolution blocks are used for events, things like draw a card, kill a creature, do some damage. Things that persist like "until end of turn, do this" need continuous blocks. Furthermore, they need a layer telling them what they're modifying. In this case, they're modifying power and toughness (by adding and subtracting, not by making it equal something ['gets +1/+1 until end of turn' vs 'becomes 1/1 until end of turn') so look ok the layers page on the wiki to see which layer it should be. In this case, it's 7C. So the

Code: Select all: <RESOLUTION_ACTION>

should be replaced with

Code: Select all: <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="7C">

Don't forget to change the closing tag, also.

Next up, the target block has an 'end' at the end. There's no 'if' or 'for' or anything like that, so there doesn't need to be an 'end'. That same block also has the variable 'first_card', but 'first_card' is never used. So you could just delete that entire line. Like the compartment, it doesn't matter, but it doesn't need to be there.

Code: Select all: <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0"> local first_card = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) local filter = ClearFilter() filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) end </TARGET_DEFINITION>

becomes

Code: Select all: <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0"> local filter = ClearFilter() filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) </TARGET_DEFINITION>

Finally, in the resolution block (the one we changed to continuous), you make 'target1' and then ask about 'target2', but 'target2' doesn't exist, because you named it 'target1'. Replace both with simply "target" and do the same in the next line for the characteristics.

Code: Select all: <RESOLUTION_ACTION> local target1 = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target2 ~= nil then local characteristics = target2:GetCurrentCharacteristics() characteristics:Power_Add( -3 ) characteristics:Toughness_Add( -0 ) end </RESOLUTION_ACTION>

becomes

Code: Select all: <RESOLUTION_ACTION> local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then local characteristics = target:GetCurrentCharacteristics() characteristics:Power_Add( -3 ) characteristics:Toughness_Add( -0 ) end </RESOLUTION_ACTION>

Combining those gives us this. I don't know it'll will make the card work, but here's the result.

Dizzy Spell | Open

Code: Select all: <TARGET tag="CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_LOSE_3_0" definition="0" compartment="0" count="1" /> <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0"> local filter = ClearFilter() filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) </TARGET_DEFINITION> <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="7C"> local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0) if target ~= nil then local characteristics = target:GetCurrentCharacteristics() characteristics:Power_Add( -3 ) characteristics:Toughness_Add( -0 ) end </CONTINUOUS_ACTION> <DURATION simple_duration="UntilEOT" /> </SPELL_ABILITY>

NOTE: Post subject to edits, I just turned the PC on and I missed a lot of posts here so I'll approach them one step at a time.

About Bloodletter Quill, you can code the blood counter addition in an easier way: the game doesn't support only RemoveCounters as standard cost, but also AddCounters. Try this instead of the generic cost:

Code: Select all: <COST type="AddCountersSelf" item_count="1" amount="1" counter_type="Blood" />

There's another small problem: blood counters are "bad" counters, so you don't want to proliferate them on yourself. Change proliferate="11" with proliferate="-11".

For those who don't know, this is rule-compliant: targets always need to be declared before resolution, but everything else happens on resolution, so even if it's a bit weird, you need to choose your target before you actually decide if you'll make something to that target.
And about the resource cost, if you want to avoid using the UTILITY_ABILITY you can use CanPayManaCost("{1}") and PayManaCost("{1}"). As far as I know there are no differences, aside from the UTILITY_ABILITY making the code easily reusable because you need to change the cost only in one place.

Mortus Strider needs to have its EffectSource() protected if you want to be able to address it after zone change. The ZONECHANGE_BEGIN trigger is triggered when the zone change hasn't happened yet, but resolution happens after the zone change anyway. So:

Code: Select all: <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_BEGIN" to_zone="ZONE_GRAVEYARD" from_zone="ZONE_BATTLEFIELD"> -- This happens BEFORE zone change EffectDC():Protect_CardPtr(COMPARTMENT_ID_EFFECT_SOURCE) return true </TRIGGER> <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION> -- This happens AFTER zone change if EffectSource() ~= nil then EffectSource():PutInHand() end </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

(Of course you can skip the comments :lol:

)

Dimir Charm is a mess, you need to put each different target in a different compartment and give each TARGET_DEFINITION a different ID, matching them with their TARGET blocks after that.
I made a picture that should help understanding... at least I hope so!
It's the code from Jund Charm (official card), and I linked the IDs that match:

@ Xander9009:

Dizzy spell works!

But I do not understand what are you doing to Dimir Charm, the problem is in the second ability, this part of the code:

Code: Select all: <TARGET tag="CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_DESTROY" definition="1" compartment="1" mode="2" count="1" /> <TARGET_DEFINITION id="1"> local filter = ClearFilter() filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) filter:Add( FE_POWER, OP_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO, 2 ) </TARGET_DEFINITION> <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION mode="2"> local target_creature = EffectDC():Get_Targets(1):Get_CardPtr(0) if target_creature ~= nil then target_creature:Destroy() end </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

That part doesn't respond correctly and it seams you want to change everything except that.

@ thefiremind:

Actually Bloodletter Quill works perfectly now.
