[Rari]

On a different note I have a rules question. I am trying to code Ancient Tomb. Does "tapped for mana" mean anything special? I was going to code the damage part using <TRIGGER value="BECAME_TAPPED" simple_qualifier="self" /> but I don't know if that is correct. I also don't think <COST type="Life" amount="2" /> is correct since its damage not a loss of life.

I would think you could just follow the mana production with

Code: Select all

    EffectSourceLKI():DealDamageTo( 2, EffectController() )

I realize this is shiny and new, but anyone have any ideas about coding the new Bestow mechanic? All I've gotten for my trouble so far are crashes.

Could you save the number of extra upkeeps in a player data chest? At the first upkeep clear a player data chest then have the hazes add counters to it. You might be able to control the looping that way.

I'm about to have a try at Paradox Haze and I think I'll use the interrogation to count the beginning phases, which is the same as counting the upkeep steps with that implementation.
EDIT: No, it seems that beginning phases cannot be counted through interrogation.

On a different note I have a rules question. I am trying to code Ancient Tomb. Does "tapped for mana" mean anything special?

The BECAME_TAPPED_FOR_MANA trigger is bugged and doesn't fire automatically, but I think it does if you use RiiakShiNal's mana functions, which is actually the only way to make Ancient Tomb work properly.

I also don't think <COST type="Life" amount="2" /> is correct since its damage not a loss of life.

That wouldn't work because the MANA_ABILITY only accepts tapping as cost.

I would think you could just follow the mana production with

    EffectSourceLKI():DealDamageTo( 2, EffectController() )


It wouldn't be possible with a MANA_ABILITY, but with RiiakShiNal's mana functions this is the way to do that.

Look inside RiiakShiNal's mod and I'm sure you'll find an example similar to Ancient Tomb (maybe Ancient Tomb itself).

I realize this is shiny and new, but anyone have any ideas about coding the new Bestow mechanic? All I've gotten for my trouble so far are crashes.

I have no clear ideas, but if I start to work on it I have a path to follow... it depends on whether this path leads to something that works or not. The good thing is that this is the opposite of overload: the alternative cost needs a target, while the normal cost doesn't, and this gives much better chances to get something working.

EDIT 2: Here's my Paradox Haze, but there's something wrong that I can't understand:

Try it and you'll see that the delayed triggers actually skip every step of the beginning phases: after the Haze triggers, you don't get anything else, no upkeeps, no untaps, no draws. If you comment out the delayed trigger creations, you'll see that the additional phase gets properly created. What am I doing wrong? (Yes, I tried with 2 delayed triggers that specifically refer to an untap step and a draw step, but the result is the same.)

I'm no coder, but I cobbled together a Staff of Domination today, taking pieces of code from various mods.

Can you put a link to download it. I am no coder, but presumably I would need a compiler to convert that code into something the game can use.

Well, here's Metalworker you. That was a fun one to make.

Thanks. Using TFM Leyline of Deity card created for the Planeswalker test deck, it makes it easy to get the combo cards right out to test. Metalworker plus 2 artifacts in hand, plus Voltaic Construct leads to infinite mana combo. I am going to have fun constructing that deck.

I edited a mana token to deal 1 damage to the controller when it comes into play. Same with Horizon Canopy, Grove of the Burnwillows ect. You can find Ancient Tomb in my affinity deck.

The BECAME_TAPPED_FOR_MANA trigger must be fired manually as the game does not fire it (not even for basic lands). I do include firing that event in my manual mana functions, though it is only fired when manually activating mana abilities, auto-tap mana from basic lands will not fire it (engine limitation).

However, Ancient Tomb does not have the text "tapped for mana", the damage it does is part of the mana ability and should occur immediately after adding to your mana pool in the same ability. This damage can't be responded to (it's also not a cost) as it is part of the mana ability and mana abilities can't be responded to. As such Rari's suggestion of putting the damage after the mana production is correct (though will only work with manual mana).

I also don't think <COST type="Life" amount="2" /> is correct since its damage not a loss of life.

That wouldn't work because the MANA_ABILITY only accepts tapping as cost.

Edit:

I edited a mana token to deal 1 damage to the controller when it comes into play. Same with Horizon Canopy, Grove of the Burnwillows ect. You can find Ancient Tomb in my affinity deck.

This is incorrect because that would allow players to respond to the damage even though they shouldn't be able to due to being part of the mana ability. Same concept for Grove of the Burnwillows, since the life gain for the opponents is part of the mana ability it should not be able to be responded to. Also it is better to make it a part of the mana ability rather than the mana tokens, this is because while I account for the extra tokens created by effects like Doubling Season and Parallel Lives the extra tokens are created and do enter the battlefield (even if they do get removed immediately). So if you put the effect on the token then the effect may trigger more than it is supposed to (extra damage in the case of Ancient Tomb or Horizon Canopy, and extra opponent life gain in the case of Grove of the Burnwillows).

It is very wrong for Horizon Canopy as on that card the life loss is part of the cost on that one so you need to use a COST block.

Edit:

I edited a mana token to deal 1 damage to the controller when it comes into play. Same with Horizon Canopy, Grove of the Burnwillows ect. You can find Ancient Tomb in my affinity deck.

This is incorrect because that would allow players to respond to the damage even though they shouldn't be able to due to being part of the mana ability. Same concept for Grove of the Burnwillows, since the life gain for the opponents is part of the mana ability it should not be able to be responded to. Also it is better to make it a part of the mana ability rather than the mana tokens, this is because while I account for the extra tokens created by effects like Doubling Season and Parallel Lives the extra tokens are created and do enter the battlefield (even if they do get removed immediately). So if you put the effect on the token then the effect may trigger more than it is supposed to (extra damage in the case of Ancient Tomb or Horizon Canopy, and extra opponent life gain in the case of Grove of the Burnwillows).

It is very wrong for Horizon Canopy as on that card the life loss is part of the cost on that one so you need to use a COST block.

It may be wrong but ive made sure my decks wont abuse them, cards like Burning-Tree Shaman and Doubling Season will never make it into any of my mods. Its only a mod for a game not paper magic Im not picky.

Can you put a link to download it. I am no coder, but presumably I would need a compiler to convert that code into something the game can use.

Actually, if you downloaded Gibbed Tools, it's a pretty simple copy/paste job:
Take a blank .xml file (I made a copy of one of the modder's cards, then deleted all the text inside by opening it with Notepad, then saved it elsewhere so I can copy it often and easily)
Paste the new card's text into the .xml
Save it, then rename it

You'd have to fetch the art yourself that way, but you still might want to. Even with thefiremind's advice, my .tdx files tend to be too large for my liking, so I made the pictures even smaller, pixel-wise. It's the same ratio, but some of them look a little fuzzy in game. I don't mind, but others might.

Try it and you'll see that the delayed triggers actually skip every step of the beginning phases: after the Haze triggers, you don't get anything else, no upkeeps, no untaps, no draws. If you comment out the delayed trigger creations, you'll see that the additional phase gets properly created. What am I doing wrong? (Yes, I tried with 2 delayed triggers that specifically refer to an untap step and a draw step, but the result is the same.)

EDIT: I think you've put TriggerPlayer() in delayed trigger, you should use EffectSource():GetParentPlayer() like I did below. or maybe this isn't the problem, you already filter which TriggerPlayer() in <TRIGGER>.

I have tried other things, like counting how many steps to skip until next upkeep. this works somehow but you must only have one instance in play. I feel somewhat ridiculous how it's coded. awkward .

EDIT2: late night attempt, using BEGINNING_OF_PLAYERS_TURN, telling right away to take another phase, then skip the steps in delayDC. no LinkedDC needed here ... though having 2 cards still give wrong result, in this example, you get an extra card free..

This seemed to work for Paradox Haze. If you have hold priority on you have to hit continue between Beginning Phase #1 and Beginning Phase #2. Other than that it seemed to work correctly though I doubt its the best way to code it. I also added the guy I used to test it.

This seemed to work for Paradox Haze. If you have hold priority on you have to hit continue between Beginning Phase #1 and Beginning Phase #2. Other than that it seemed to work correctly though I doubt its the best way to code it. I also added the guy I used to test it.

Mmm... not sure if having a STEP_MAIN_1 before having the extra UPKEEP is good. and I've tried with two Haze, was pretty random. This card without having a TakeAdditionalStep will drive us crazy if we want it to work. I gave up after hundreds of retries now I'm mad about this Paradox of S***

Yea you are right. For some reason I assumed that was because I use hold priority but I added an ability to the test creature to check the current step and it is STEP_MAIN_1. I don't know if that's an artifact with how I did it or what. It worked for me with 2 Haze out there but it added a third STEP_MAIN_1. It doesn't matter though since overall it doesn't really work.

How do I add the subtype God? I believe, beyond localizing text files from TEXT_PERMANENT and SPECS, I need to add it to CONSTANTS.LOL but I don't have any clue how to actually edit that


(Currently using the Miracle border, since I obviously don't have a Nyx border to use!)

I've never added a subtype before. TheFireMind goes over it here but I think you've might have already looked at that. As far as editing a .LOL file, that should be easy. You can do it with you standard text editor. I don't think the name really matters either. Just that it is in the FUNCTIONS folder under DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS. I'd expect that all you would have to do is copy one that's already done and edit it to be similar to TFM's D14_TFM_CREATURE_TYPE_CONSTANTS.LOL (I'm sure others have done it, I've just looked at TFM's wad's recently).
