Formal Request Thread

[sumomole]

Could you try my Xenograft version i have made the function about name a creature type we talked last time. I would know what you think about it.

This is indeed a feasible solution, but I don't like it, because I can't remember so many types.
And AI certainly don't like this method because it's poor English.
I see "1. You don't have to look the kinds into decks just type one valid kind.", if you are for this reason, you can remove the sort part from my functions, so it will always display the default order, you will not derive the deck information. But again, AI will not be able to make good choices, so you need to write additional code for AI.

I disabled "always use optional abilities" in game settings, now it works, thanks but, the card when enters into battlefield, ask the targets selection and when you made it, it asks if you want to use the ability.
It is a little bit weird , i also tried to move the May tag before of the target tag but it is the same. Targets are evaluated first.

Yes, it's rule, target must be selected at ability plays, and "may" is decided at the time the ability resolves.

I know that it is needed to Implement the code for the AI choice, otherwise i can spend some of my time to teach him to write
I just made it because i had this idea and i would try if it was doable.
Have you any suggestion how to implement the AI selection?
Honestly until now i have worked few times for the AI implementation so i am not so prepared about it.

About your function as i told last time, i don't make it to replace your amazing work, i know that it can be used also without retrieve informations from the deck, i was just trying a different way.
You know what? Sometimes from weird ideas someone can take the starting point to make new interesting things.

About your merfolk request please be more specific so i can check if that cards are already coded or not, and also check if is possible to code.

[Orangewaggs]

I found the Merfolk so there is no worry for that as for the other files how do i go about installing them?

[NeoAnderson]

I found the Merfolk so there is no worry for that as for the other files how do i go about installing them?

My suggestion is to install Riiak Deck Builder tool, so you can edit and customize your decks.
Just a basic info to start :
If you install the program.
After started the tool, go to Tools then to Options.
In the options the first row is the directory of the game, be sure it is the same where you have installed Duels of Planeswalkers.
Close the options.
Go Again on Tools.
And push Set up Custom data Folder.
This action will create some directories into Duels of the Planeswalkers main folder.
You will find :
Folder : DATA_DLC_DECK_BUILDER_CUSTOM
SubFolder : DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS
Subfolders :
AI_PERSONALITIES
ART_ASSETS ( subfolder ILLUSTRATIONS)
CARDS
FUNCTIONS
SPECS
TEXT_PERMANENT

Ok for the moment you are interested about subfolders CARDS and ART_ASSETS\ILLUSTRATIONS
Copy the card XML file into CARDS folder.
Copy the Tdx file into ART_ASSETS\ILLUSTRATIONS folder.
Done.

Obviously if you don't have any deck with these cards the game will not show them.
To make custom deck i suggest to you to look riiak deck builder topic.
You can find it here : http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=99&t=10999

If you have trouble with this procedure you can alternative download this core file.
I made it including all cards you have requested.
Just copy the Wad core file into main Duels of Planeswalker folder.
Same as before you have to add these cards into a custom deck to play with them.

Hi my friends
I have a question i am coding a card but i have an issue.
The card shold have this effect.(The card is real not new card but an old vintage card)
: deals 1 damage to target creature or player and 1 damage to target creature or player of an opponent’s choice.

So the steps are :
1. First Targetting a Player or a creature. And this is ok.
2. Second Select the Opponent who will replay the damage.
3. Third the opponent have to choose a Target player or creature.

Now I made the card to work but for the 3 point i am not able to use target functions.
I mean i tried to use SetTargetCount(1), SetTargetPrompt and ChooseTargets but it doesn't work always receive a scriptlog refering to a nil value.
Replacing these functions with SetItemCount(1), SetItemPrompt and ChooseItems it works.

The code is :

How to fix this issue?

Hi my friends
I have a question i am coding a card but i have an issue.
The card shold have this effect.(The card is real not new card but an old vintage card)
: deals 1 damage to target creature or player and 1 damage to target creature or player of an opponent’s choice.

Cuombajj Witches？
You can think of it as two parts, two separate abilities, the first almost like Shock, the second target selection requires two steps, you can refer to Evangelize, I assume you have all the official card files.

Hi my friends,
I am coding another card from Arabian nights set, i have made some code but i still not tested it, the conditions to test are little bit complicated to replicate, i think i have to arrange a custom deck for the AI just to test it.
I would know the opinion of skilled modders, to understand if it could work.

I would know the opinion of skilled modders, to understand if it could work.

If the controller change trigger can be properly overridden (which is unknown until you try), then it should work. Only one thing: the DURATION in a static ability is useless. Some official cards have it, but it does nothing.

Thanks my dear friend,
I am glad to see your comments again.
I am still trying to testing it.
But i already find the first issue, if an enchantment aura is putonbattlefield without cast it allow to target the artifact.
I am trying to resolve it with the this additional trigger :

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1">
      <TRIGGER value="TRIGGER_TARGETS_CHOSEN" simple_qualifier="objectyoucontrol" pre_trigger="1">
    if EffectSource():IsTapped() == false and SecondaryObject()~= nil and TriggerObject()~= nil and SecondaryObject():GetSubType():Test( ENCHANTMENT_TYPE_AURA ) and TriggerObject():GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_ARTIFACT ) then
      if TriggerObject():GetCardType():Test( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE ) then
         return false
       else
         return true
       end
    else
        return false
    end
    </TRIGGER>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

UPDATE : It doesn't work, this second trigger is useless here.
It seems that the trigger CARD_CONSIDERED_FOR_TARGETTING works when the player ig going to cast a spell who targets.
So it works on targetting checks before to cast a spell. If the spell is already on the stack the targetting is allowed and it doesn't trigger.
I am going to check if adding this trigger BECAME_TARGET_OF_SPELL could resolve the problem.

About the duration thanks i will remove it.

2. About the controller changed it is also my worry but i also have another solution if it doesn't work
i could add SetbaseController to getowner into static ability where i give indestructible.

3. Some posts ago i was discussing about a new implementation with sumomole, about this card Xenograft.
I have made a typing function, i would know your opinion, and i also need some help to understand how to implement the AI code for the selection. Can you take a look?

[thefiremind]

if an enchantment aura is putonbattlefield without cast it allow to target the artifact.

I had to deal with Auras put onto the battlefield because of Copy Enchantment and I had been forced to use an approximation, so I don't know if there's a solution for this.

I am trying to resolve it with the this additional trigger :

This won't work mainly because the trigger name should be TARGETS_CHOSEN without TRIGGER_, but even without that error I doubt it would work as intended. You can still try, though.

The typing idea is good for human players, but I think you'll still need to force default decisions for the AI. I don't even know what kind of combo deck Xenograft is needed for, but you could make the AI decide according to what cards it finds in its own zones (library, hand, battlefield). For example, let's say that Xenograft is needed for a combo together with cards A and B, and for another combo together with cards C and D. If the AI's library and/or hand and/or battlefield contains at least one copy of A and one copy of B, the AI will choose the creature type needed for the combo with A and B; same for C and D. If you cannot find any of the cards... well, I don't know, choose a random type.

Thanks a lot for your support my friend,
About the Auras i am still trying.
Yeah just now i see that i made the syntax error about TARGETS_CHOSEN trigger it was copy and paste and i miss it.
I will try again.
Anyway i also tried BECAME_TARGET_OF_SPELL (with replacement effect and pretrigger, and without replacement and pretrigger), I tried with SecondaryObject and SecondaryObjectLKI() but nothing!

Do you have checked the code of this card Retether ?
There is an interesting function : MTG():BESPOKE_Retether_SetOnlyCreaturesCanBeEnchantedFlag(1)
Would be the best solution if there was a function to exclude a type from being enchanted.

About Xenograft, yeah i know i have to force the AI to choose, and i was already thinking to let it check the playing zone.
But my main doubt was how i can check the possibles combos between the cards?
Does the ai make this interpretation by itself? And the check should be extended also to the other ingame zones of the other players. I mean the Ai could have interest to have a type who interact with other cards in play undercontrol of other players.
So it should check all visible zones of ther player excluding the libraries.

The problem is that putting an Aura onto the battlefield and attach it to a creature doesn't target the creature (you can enchant creatures with shroud this way). I have only one idea, it's not elegant and it may cause unwanted effects (if it works at all ) but that's all I have: grant your artifacts protection from Auras with no parent. I think you need a FILTER_CONDITION with FilteredCard():GetParent() == nil because I don't think there's another way, and some unusual protections were making DotP2013 crash, that's why I don't know if it works on DotP2014.

You can check by yourself that there's no other function like that:
http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/DotP_2014:_Functions
that's the funniest function, I imagine the developers saying: "Hey, why thinking at complicated structures that could be useful for other cards as well, let's just make a function that's useful only for Retether!"

But my main doubt was how i can check the possibles combos between the cards?

You can't. With my suggestion I meant to get informed about the possible combos and hard-code the combo cards' names into Xenograft code. Personally, I don't see any other way out, and I don't think it's possible to make a Xenograft that the AI will use like a human. I'm sure that people who worked on this kind of functionality before (like RiiakShiNal or sumomole) will be more helpful than me on this matter.

It's a pleasure to exchange idea with person like you.
I will try also your idea but i also have another one. I am not sure if i am enough skilled to code it.
My idea is to use ZONECHANGE to check when an Aura come into battlefield without casting it (i think with WasCast() function).
Now we could try to retrieve targetting info from Aura doing something similar to the card made by you Hindering Light. Then force it to retrieve a new target loading the target definition and excluding from it non-creature artifacts.

I know i always use that page as a guide for function i still don't know!
The unbelievable think is how to program a function without leaving the possibility to use it for multiple situations!
All Wasted time! Anyway would be interesting if could be possible to see the decomplied function, but as i have seen for 2014 there are not decomplied LoL files.

As i was imaging at this point i think the best solution is to let the AI CHOOSE for a value between the first Type and the latest one, then add that type. Who knows, could be interesting to view if it can add useful types!
