Mardu Heart-Piercer (Raid Ability)

[Chakan]

I wasn't quite sure where to start with the Raid ability for Mardu Heart-Piercer (it's a trigger if a creature you control attacked and you put a card with raid, it can do 2 damage to target creature or player.) There wasn't anything really that I could base this ability on, so I sort of used Angelic Arbiter and Sparkmage Apprentice as bases, but I know this isn't right. Can anybody point me in the right direction here? I'd appreciate the help. Here's what I got so far.

I'm sorry, apparently I cannot read well. I didn't see you were already using interrogations

[thefiremind]

I think you are actually very close, but the problem is that you can't make code that says: if ... then <...>another block of code</...>, each block must contain code that works by itself. You are also never closing the "for", which is useless by the way, because you can already address yourself as EffectController().

Try this trigger condition:

Code: Select all

<TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_END" simple_qualifier="self" to_zone="ZONE_BATTLEFIELD" from_zone="ZONE_ANY">
local interrogation = MTG():ClearInterrogationQuery()
interrogation:SetPlayer( EffectController() )
return interrogation:Test( INTERROGATE_ATTACKS, INTERROGATE_THIS_TURN )
</TRIGGER>
<SFX text="TARGET_SPARKS_PLAY" />

below this point it should be correct.

It shoud work Fire but you have to remove a "/", otherwise the interrogation instructions will be not condidered.

Right... Fixed in the original post.
