Formal Request Thread

[thefiremind]

@damienx45 and @Xander9009: I'd suggest you to take a look at my updated mod, there's an Esper deck and many of the cards you are talking about.

I tried to make Aurelia, the Warleader, not to sure about it so could anyone take a look at the code, correct me if I mocked up somewhere. Thank you in advance.

Your Aurelia is a bit OP, she gives as many extra turns as the tapped creatures you control each time she attacks... Wait a minute, I'm going to see if my DotP2013 code can be easily updated.

Replace

Code: Select all

EffectController():GetTeam():TakeExtraTurn()

with

Code: Select all

MTG():TakeAdditionalPhase(PHASE_COMBAT)

and put it in its own resolution block. I'm looking at Savage Beating for comparison.

Second, don't forget this is only supposed to happen once per turn. I'd put in another resolution block that sets a variable when then ability fires, and then have a trigger requirement for that variable to be 0. Finally, at end of turn, reset the variable. The only easier way I know to make something happen once per turn is with <AVAILABILITY once_per_turn="1" /> But I don't think that will work in a triggered ability (I've only seen it in activated abilities). But you could try that first. (Inside the ability, but outside of all blocks. Such as before the trigger.)

Almost my whole second post was already done by you lol. If only I'd known already. I'm just glad I don't have to bother trying to fix whatever mess I'm sure I made with Ethersworn Canonist.

I used a variable in DotP2013 to achieve the result, but I think there's an easier way in DotP2014, if it works:

I'm asking the interrogation query if Aurelia attacked less than 2 times (the current attack counts).
Try it and let me know.

But you could try that first. (Inside the ability, but outside of all blocks. Such as before the trigger.)

The availability works only for activated abilities (and for utility abilities and spell abilities when you need to set a cast condition, but that's another story ).

return interrogation:Test(INTERROGATE_ATTACKS, INTERROGATE_THIS_TURN, 2) < 2

I'm asking the interrogation query if Aurelia attacked less than 2 times (the current attack counts).
Try it and let me know.

What does the 2 in the parentheses do? (I know next to nothing about interrogations...)

[thefiremind]

What does the 2 in the parentheses do? (I know next to nothing about interrogations...)

It's like filter:CountStopAt(...), it gives a maximum number for the count, for when you don't need to count further. I'm not sure if this has a big impact on performance (I think it doesn't), but since it exists, let's use it.

EDIT: Anyway, I just tried to code Restore the Peace but I can't, so the interrogation isn't as flexible as I thought, and Aurelia might not work. I guess we'll know when someone makes a test.

[sumomole]

Please can someone help me with soulbond? Thanks

Maybe I can say yes now!
That need to thank RiiakShiNal who bring back the ObjectDC for us.
This's his function file. Object DC Functions You need to download it and put into the functions folder of your mod, since soulbond ability used its code.
I didn't do a lot of testing, if you find any bugs, please let me know.

BTW, I'm trying to find a new way that not use CHARACTERISTIC_PHASING and ObjectDC, if successful, maybe we can have a more simple soulbond ability.

[Master Necro]

Is there any progress on the rest of the abilities, Forecast, Bloodrush, Overload, Haunt, Unleash, Convoke and Graft?

[thefiremind]

Forecast (and ninjutsu, for that matter) can't be made on DotP2014 except for when they have monocolored mana costs or no mana costs, this is the reason.

Convoke and overload are still impossible or requiring too many approximations to be feasible (until someone proves I'm wrong ).

Bloodrush has different effects depending on the creature, the only standard part is the DiscardSelf cost: if you start from cycling it's not really that hard to make.

Haunt needs a different implementation for creatures and non-creatures. I remember getting stuck on something for the non-creature implementation in DotP2013, so I'll leave it to someone else unless I need to make a card with haunt for one of my decks.

Unleash and graft aren't really difficult, I think they should work like this:

but please test them before adding them to the first page, I'm not sure how the MAY blocks will work, especially with unleash.

Forecast (and ninjutsu, for that matter) can't be made on DotP2014 except for when they have monocolored mana costs or no mana costs, this is the reason.

Convoke and overload are still impossible or requiring too many approximations to be feasible (until someone proves I'm wrong ).

Bloodrush has different effects depending on the creature, the only standard part is the DiscardSelf cost: if you start from cycling it's not really that hard to make.

Haunt needs a different implementation for creatures and non-creatures. I remember getting stuck on something for the non-creature implementation in DotP2013, so I'll leave it to someone else unless I need to make a card with haunt for one of my decks.

Unleash and graft aren't really difficult, I think they should work like this:

Thanks, it may be some time before I can test them but I will and I will tell you if they work, same goes for Aurelia although I am almost finished with her deck so expect the results by tomorrow

It's about half the size of a couple other requests I'm about to start testing the last batch I did to make sure they work. Once I'm done with that, I'll get started on these if no one else has yet.

[loookaz]

i will greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance mate:)

i just wanted to say that
Flickerwisp
and Cloudshift are crucial for me

Bloodrush has different effects depending on the creature, the only standard part is the DiscardSelf cost: if you start from cycling it's not really that hard to make.

Just saw something, actually Bloodrush has the same effect after discard it always says Target attacking creature gets +N/+N until the end of turn.

Well, Rubblehulk isn't a normal +N/+N, and Ghor-Clan Rampager gives trample as well. You could say that those aren't big differences... but then if you know the differences, why do you need help?
