POST UPDATE : I have coded the card and now i am able to keep the player pointer stored into a global chest. I haven't used delayedDC.Thanks as always my dear friend, Expecially for you patience, is really appreciated.
About the EffectDC issue i tought the same thing as you said, probably the continuos_block is evaluated before the resolution block so it point to a nil value.
It is unlucky we cannot set an order of evaluation of the blockswould be more easy to manage the events.
About the trigger variations thanks for the informations, i will keep these informations for future implementations.
About the last point, so if i have correctly understand, the syntax was right, the only problem is i should pass the stored variable trough a DelayedDC and retrieve the value into delayed trigger into a resolution block.. i will make some experiments later and i will let you know.
Anyway Thanks again

2. Question of day
I think to already know the answer (Nope) : Anyway if i have made a new ability, do you know if there is any possibility to define this new ability to be recognized by filters or some other kind of checking?- NeoAnderson

You will have problems if it is cast by two different players as the last one to cast the spell will be the recipient of all creatures tapped afterwards due to the last one to cast it being the one stored in the PlayerPtr. For this ability you really need to make use of Delayed Triggers.NeoAnderson wrote:POST UPDATE : I have coded the card and now i am able to keep the player pointer stored into a global chest. I haven't used delayedDC.

Would be nice if You let me know your opinion Riiak also Firemind, Mc Brodie and other friends
Actually there is a way, but it requires some work. You can either:NeoAnderson wrote:2. Question of day
- Make use of a characteristic that means nothing in the zone you are using it in for the purposes of checking. Note that this also requires that you not use one that is being used by other modders making the available pool very small.
- Roll your own using the Duel Data chest and Card Pointers. This can be quite complex as there are a lot of things to consider though ultimately complexity will vary depending on how generic your solution is (more generic means more complex).
- You make use of my ObjectDC functions (which you would already have as they are required for the Manual Mana functions) and you set a variable on the ObjectDC of the card which can then be read from other cards (and even filtered on using LUA conditions).
- You can make use of my Characteristic functions which allows for fake characteristics and additional handling via invisible manager tokens. This is a fairly generic system and allows for quite a bit. This is basically another layer on top of option 3, but is specialized towards characteristics and managers. This could be a good system to use for implementing special counters like -2/-2, -1/-0, or -0/-1 counters or for complex abilities you wanted to implement as a characteristic. Though for simple abilities or data you want to check it could be overkill and option 3 could be a better fit.
Your Black Lotus won't work as you sacrifice it in the ACTIVATED_ABILITY so before you can use the mana from the MANA_ABILITY it has already left the battlefield. The only way to properly code Black Lotus is to use Mana Tokens, granted I've already done this and you can find Black Lotus in my mod.daniel473 wrote:Here is black lotus HALELUYA HALELUYA

Riiak i have no words to say thank you.
You always focus the point.
About the way to filter a new ability, i have understand is not a simple thing, probably i will try something in future, anyway i agree with your opinion the duel data chest is the more complex way to resolve it.
2. About my card pointer issue you're right i didn't tought about this situation.
I am not sure how to resolve it with delayedDc expecially because i never forced a trigger with firetrigger function. Could you post an example of how you would resolve this problem?
2b. Is not possible to resolve it using a player data chest? If I understanded how it works it should be linked to the player istance, so whenever a different player call this function it should works on different addresses.
Something like this :
(Main Spell action)
2c. Another possibile solution, tell me if is doable, is there a card unique value? Should be something like card_instance. What happens if i store the value into a duel data chest, making the chest with card_instance value?
Something like : local chest = MTG():DuelDataChest():Make_Chest( CARD_INSTANCE )
2c.(EDIT) I am just thinking this could not work because the reading action refer to another card.
I am sorry if i am writing a lot of not working ideas, i am just thinking about alternative solutions, it is like when you think and talk with yourself, is just a way to share my ideas and trying to improve my skills using your knowledge.
Anyway i am realizing is not so easy to avoid a DelayedDC call, because all the other ways, lose or overwrite the source information.
Please let me know i need your help because i cannot resolve this issue by myself my knowledge is not enough.
UPDATE :
3. I tought about a possible solution i tried to implement the DelayedDC but i had problems i still have to improve my knowledge to do it. My solution is not pretty looking but it should work or i hope so.
It is based on this reasoning :
I can store the player into a different index inside the DuelDataChest, we know that the players can be min 2 up to 4, so i can check the player into the main spell and then grant different abilities basing on the player who has launched the spell.
Grant different abilities just because so I can refer to a different index without keep it into a variable.
Now is not easy to test if this code will work because i should force the AI to play this spell, could you take a look and let me know what you think? Do you see something i have not considered?

You don't use FireTrigger() with delayed triggers. You can think of a Delayed Trigger as a Global Trigger with an EffectDC() with pre-definable values.NeoAnderson wrote:2. About my card pointer issue you're right i didn't tought about this situation.

No this won't work because if Player A casts it on a creature controlled by Player B and Player B casts it on a creature controlled by Player A then Player A takes control of Player B's creature then attacks with it control will revert to Player B instead of Player A like it should this is due to reading from the PlayerDataChest() of the current player rather than of the player who it was controlled by when the effect was cast. Also this would fail in a multiplayer game where Player A casts it on a creature belonging to Player B and then Player C casts it on a creature also belonging to player B, Player C would be the recipient of both creatures instead of Player A getting one and Player C getting the other.NeoAnderson wrote:2b.

EffectController() refers to the player who controls the effect, in the case of Granted abilities the EffectController() is the controller of the card that has been granted the ability. For example if you cast a spell that gives an opponent's creature Lifelink, that opponent would gain life, not you (though this is done by characteristic instead of ability the concept is the same).NeoAnderson wrote:2b.(EDIT) I am just thinking this could not work because the EffectController() call into reading action refer to another player.
Card instance won't work because the pointer won't be valid after the card changes zones (not to mention it is not meant as an integer type so that could cause major problems) so you won't be able to get the value from the original card. Though linking chests to cards is something I did for my ObjectDC functions. Though you either have to link to the target card and handle it like I do for ObjectDC functions or you need to somehow pass along the integer of the chest (Delayed Triggers).NeoAnderson wrote:2c. Another possibile solution, tell me if is doable, is there a card unique value? Should be something like card_instance. What happens if i store the value into a duel data chest, making the chest with card_instance value?
Something like : local chest = MTG():DuelDataChest():Make_Chest( CARD_INSTANCE )
Again it is like I said you use it like I do for my ObjectDC functions or you use Delayed Triggers. Delayed Triggers are the easiest thing to do here.NeoAnderson wrote:2c.(EDIT) I am just thinking this could not work because the reading action refer to another card.
Delayed Triggers are the easiest thing to use here and offer the best solution with the least overhead.NeoAnderson wrote:Anyway i am realizing is not so easy to avoid a DelayedDC call, because all the other ways, lose or overwrite the source information.

I saw your code and when i tried to implement the card's code, with DelayedDC i made something similar, but probably You have fixed my missing points.
I just have some questions,
1. Doing in this way what happen if the target card activates the first delayed trigger (become tapped), it changes the controller, now what happen if it leaves the battlefield? The other delayed trigger will be also activated?? If yes there is a way to clear, the suspended delayed triggers??
2. this is a minor issue, when i was using the grant ability i was also giving to the card some text info, so the player could recognize which cards were under this effect. Should I have to add a static ability for the text, and grant it, to do the same with your code?
3. I tought about a possible solution without DelayedDC it isn't pretty looking but it should work or i hope so.
It is based on this reasoning :
I can store the player into a different index inside the DuelDataChest, we know that the players can be min 2 up to 4, so i can check the player into the main spell and then grant different abilities basing on the player who has launched the spell.

UDATE 2 : found another issue: The second Trigger Zone change doesn't trigger because you used ZONECHANGE_END if you change it with ZONECHANGE_BEGIN it works.
I also received the answer to my question I made before (point 1) each trigger will be executed. Now is there a way to exclude a trigger if the other one is executed?

My example is just that an example it is not complete. I did not put in any CLEANUP blocks to remove them once they are finished, nor have I put in MTG():RemoveDelayedTrigger() calls to remove the unneeded triggers. Technically though it could all be combined into a single TRIGGERED_ABILITY with multiple triggers and set to only fire once via a CLEANUP block, it could switch between slightly different code paths in the ability by setting an integer in the TRIGGER blocks to let you know which pieces to execute.NeoAnderson wrote:Riiak I am sorry if I bother you with my questions, you're a really kind person.

1. Doing in this way what happen if the target card activates the first delayed trigger (become tapped), it changes the controller, now what happen if it leaves the battlefield? The other delayed trigger will be also activated?? If yes there is a way to clear, the suspended delayed triggers??
Yes, Delayed Triggers do not add text to cards as they are Global in nature and not tied to a card so you would need to GrantAbility() a STATIC_ABILITY in a CONTINUOUS_ACTION block to give the card the text. Though it should be noted that Delayed Triggers for a card are not affected by cards like Turn to Frog which call LoseAllAbilities(), but the Granted Ability may be affected depending on what layer (6 or less and it will be affected) it is assigned to. As such if a Card is affected by Turn to Frog it could lose the ability text, then killed, but the Delayed Trigger would still fire.NeoAnderson wrote:2. this is a minor issue, when i was using the grant ability i was also giving to the card some text info, so the player could recognize which cards were under this effect. Should I have to add a static ability for the text, and grant it, to do the same with your code?
Theoretically, it could work, but it's very ugly and quite wasteful in terms of code. It is also difficult to debug due to the same code being in so many different places, so it could be that player 1 has no bugs, but if you are player 3 it doesn't work due to a bug.NeoAnderson wrote:3. I tought about a possible solution without DelayedDC it isn't pretty looking but it should work or i hope so.
It is based on this reasoning :
I can store the player into a different index inside the DuelDataChest, we know that the players can be min 2 up to 4, so i can check the player into the main spell and then grant different abilities basing on the player who has launched the spell.
Grant different abilities just because so I can refer to a different index without keep it into a variable.
Now is not easy to test if this code will work because i should force the AI to play this spell, could you take a look and let me know what you think? Do you see something i have not considered?
It's an example I never said it was complete or tested. I wrote it off the top of my head while typing up the post. I'm not running any of it through any form of code analysis, syntax checker, or the engine itself.NeoAnderson wrote:UPDATE : found the problem!!! there is a simple type missing "()" , inside the trigger object check you wrote TriggerObject instead of TriggerObject()!!!!
UDATE 2 : found another issue: The second Trigger Zone change doesn't trigger because you used ZONECHANGE_END if you change it with ZONECHANGE_BEGIN it works.
As for the TRIGGER, ZONECHANGE_END is what is used for "dies" triggers, though because the zone changed any non-protected card pointers get cleared, so the card pointers should be protected by using Protect_CardPtr() or LKIShield_CardPtr() depending on what information you need if any before being sent to the Delayed Trigger.
As I said earlier in this post you can use MTG():RemoveDelayedTrigger(), though it would probably be better to simply combine them into a single TRIGGERED_ABILITY with multiple TRIGGERs and switch off the code paths using an EffectDC() variable set in the TRIGGER block that way you can just use the fire_once in the CLEANUP block.NeoAnderson wrote:I also received the answer to my question I made before (point 1) each trigger will be executed. Now is there a way to exclude a trigger if the other one is executed?

Yes, it is possible, but creatures are only considered attacking if they were chosen to attack in the DECLARE_ATTACKERS step and it is still within that combat phase. Though it needs to tap all attacking creatures not just those with vigilance as they could have been untapped by another effect after they were declared as attacking. So Sleep is inappropriate, but Tangle provides just about all you need you just have to change Hold() to TapAndHold().Real wrote:Question, is it possible to code Clinging Mists? I thought I can simply combine Sleep and Tangle, but I realized it should only tap the attacking (vigilance) creatures.

Thanks Riiak. I am still trying to learn.
So, if I want to incorporate the fateful hour, I will need to have two 'if' clause. This is what I have. I'm pretty sure it's not correct. Can you correct my code?

I was going in the same direction, i was combining the 2 triggers into 1 with a variable to switch off the controller change, that is the only part who changes.
But i encountered a problem, this is not the first time i found this problem, if i combine these 2 triggers the zone change trigger doesn't work. I don't know why. I try both ZONECHANGE_END with protecting the card pointer and also the ZONECHANGE_BEGIN.
The weird thing is that if i separate the triggers it works!

I don't know why, that is odd. Looking at your code though you should probably change the last RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION block to check for oTarget ~= nil instead of count > 0 since you don't actually need to do a count there.NeoAnderson wrote:Thanks a lot my dear friend, do you know what?

Honestly i didn't remember why i used count > 0 but testing again, and again and again I did remember, if you use oTarget ~= nil the game generate a script log attempt to point a nil value. Using the filter with count avoid this script, because if you check before if there is a possible target probably will be at least a target.RiiakShiNal wrote:I don't know why, that is odd. Looking at your code though you should probably change the last RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION block to check for oTarget ~= nil instead of count > 0 since you don't actually need to do a count there.
As I said the post before i have already flipped the order of the triggers, anyway i tried again but only the first is considered. Probably Delayed Trigger check only for the first trigger value.RiiakShiNal wrote:You could try flipping the TRIGGERs and see if that works, but failing that you'll probably need to make use of MTG():RemoveDelayedTrigger().
The First one just work for the first trigger.
The second one with some adjustment works, but still have some problems.
For Example if an affected creature is tapped and while the delayed trigger is loading if another effect destroy that creature both trigger will be null, and the game also generate a ScriptLog where both trigger have tried to attempt to a nil value.
I am also thinking about what we have discuss before about the grant ability and the fact it will be not affected by LoseAllAbilities, and this is not a normal behaviour because should be assumed it is an ability so it should be lost.
For this reasons i'm think to make a step back to the version without DelayedDC, trying to understand how it works expecially in these particular cases. I know is Ugly coded, but the complexity of Delayed Trigger version is becoming exponentially harder, too many issues to fix. Anyway all your time spent to help me today is priceless, you also teached to me a lot of things that surely will help me to go forward! THANKS MY FRIEND.
UPDATE : I have made a revised version of my card trying to make the code more clean, i am using also LinkedDC, combined with EffectDC it seems to work, but i still have not a test when the other players cast this spell. The AI doesn't understand the card and simply don't uses it. I made a duel with 3 players and i used it at same time on 2 different players and it works.
What do you think of this solution???

Oh well, at least it was tried.NeoAnderson wrote:As I said the post before i have already flipped the order of the triggers, anyway i tried again but only the first is considered. Probably Delayed Trigger check only for the first trigger value.
Well, that can be changed simply by moving the RemoveDelayedTrigger() call to a just before establishing the new triggers. The nils can be fixed by checking to make sure TriggerObject() is not nil or by using TriggerObjectLKI() to ensure you get the last known information.NeoAnderson wrote:The First one just work for the first trigger.

Well ultimately, whatever works.

This one will suffer from problems if someone else casts this spell from your graveyard (there are cards that allow that) as then the information in the LinkedDC() will be overwritten. For example Player A casts the spell on a creature belonging to Player B, Player B then casts the spell from Player A's graveyard on a Creature Player A controls, Player B then attacks, Player B retains control of his creature, but it untaps, Player A taps his creature and Player B gets it.NeoAnderson wrote:UPDATE : I have made a revised version of my card trying to make the code more clean, i am using also LinkedDC, combined with EffectDC it seems to work, but i still have not a test when the other players cast this spell.

Riiak, this is my final code. I added the end statement, however, the card does not recognize the fateful hour statement. The card will tap all the attacking creature(s) regardless if my life total is below 5 or not. Also, how do I add the "fog" animation? The animation you see when you play the card " Fog ".

This is because you have your faithful hour set to go off if your life total >= to 5 . Change that if statement from ">" to "<". Also, I'm not very familiar with the operator syntax off hand so if verify that "<" is correct and that it's less than or equal to instead of just less than. I'd check the faithful hour card in the vanilla game.
And the code for spell/ability animations is the <SFX text"..."/> line. So just find this line in the code for Fog and apply it in a similar manner.
