[NeoAnderson]

@Neo: thanks i will look into that.

Let me know because i am also coding this set, and i already made this card but i have also added an improvement to Firemind code.
His version of Copy Enchantment fails is you copy an Enchantment Aura (enchant type you control) controlled by opponent, my version allows also this condition, it just fail when you copy this kind of enchantment controlled by opponent and apply the copy to a card with color protection.

Can you post your code and I will look at it too.

Ok Volrathxp here you can find my version :

Let me know because i am also coding this set, and i already made this card but i have also added an improvement to Firemind code.
His version of Copy Enchantment fails is you copy an Enchantment Aura (enchant type you control) controlled by opponent, my version allows also this condition, it just fail when you copy this kind of enchantment controlled by opponent and apply the copy to a card with color protection.

And you said that it only doesn't work on cards with color protection? I'm slightly confused by this. For example: Clever Impersonator comes into play as a copy of Nyx Infusion and you attempt to move it to a creature that has protection from black?

In that case it would be functioning properly because the aura would fall off due to state-based because of the protection. That's kind of how protection works.

In that case it would be functioning properly because the aura would fall off due to state-based because of the protection. That's kind of how protection works.

I try to explain better what happens:

1. If you try to cast an Aura from you hand you cannot target creature with protection from colour or kind of the aura spell. So we don't have to face the problem because you cannot target before to attach!

2. using Firemind code approximation for copy enchantment everything work fine but if you target an enchantment aura (that can attach only to object you control, like : Emblem of the Warmind ) and this aura belong to an opponent, you will have a not working situation, because Firemind must use the source aura to retrieve the available targets, but the source not belong to you, so you have a copy that belong to you that should target permanent that belong to the opponent, so the copied aura go to the graveyard.

3. With my modify i have reduced this issue, because i detect this kind of Aura like Spirit Loop and i set the available target to permanent kind you control. The problem now is that we are not able to check if the creature has a protection so you are able to select the creature also if it cannot be enchanted and in this case the Aura go to the graveyard.

As you can understand this is a really limit situation, because the Firemind approximation already fails for few circumstances, with this modify it is reduced near to 0....

Alright. Here's High Sentinels. I hope someone can help me with this guy cuz he's annoying me.

You should already be aware that FilteredCard() is used when you have a FILTER block: by doing that, the action that contains FilteredCard will be repeated once for each filtered card. When you use a filter as you did in your card you can't address the filtered cards with FilteredCard, you need to evaluate the filter and address each card with GetNthEvaluatedObject:

Code: Select all

local count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
for i=0,count-1 do
   local card = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
   -- do what you want with the card
end

In your card:

Code: Select all

    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="7C">
    if EffectSource() ~= nil then
       local bonus = 0
       local filter = ClearFilter()
       filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
       filter:Add( FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, EffectSource() )
       filter:Add( FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, EffectController() )
       local count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
       for i=0,count-1 do
          local card = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
          if card ~= nil and card:CountCounters( MTG():PlusOnePlusOneCounters() ) &gt; 0 then
             bonus = bonus + 1
          end
       end
       local characteristics = EffectSource():GetCurrentCharacteristics()
       characteristics:Power_Add(bonus)
       characteristics:Toughness_Add(bonus)

Alright. Here's High Sentinels. I hope someone can help me with this guy cuz he's annoying me.

You should already be aware that FilteredCard() is used when you have a FILTER block: by doing that, the action that contains FilteredCard will be repeated once for each filtered card. When you use a filter as you did in your card you can't address the filtered cards with FilteredCard, you need to evaluate the filter and address each card with GetNthEvaluatedObject:

Code: Select all

local count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
for i=0,count-1 do
   local card = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
   -- do what you want with the card
end

In your card:

Code: Select all

    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="7C">
    if EffectSource() ~= nil then
       local bonus = 0
       local filter = ClearFilter()
       filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
       filter:Add( FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, EffectSource() )
       filter:Add( FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, EffectController() )
       local count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
       for i=0,count-1 do
          local card = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(i)
          if card ~= nil and card:CountCounters( MTG():PlusOnePlusOneCounters() ) &gt; 0 then
             bonus = bonus + 1
          end
       end
       local characteristics = EffectSource():GetCurrentCharacteristics()
       characteristics:Power_Add(bonus)
       characteristics:Toughness_Add(bonus)
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>

Thanks! I kind of figured it was me doing something goofy.

Updated the Core Wad, hopefully fixing a lot of the bugs. Keep at it folks and let me know. I will be adding some more stuff from Khans soon!

I also added the five decks to this, one for each clan. Once I have the time to sit down and process all the decklists for all the decks in my DLC, I will add them to the original post.

You did a great job with this stuff my man. You completed a lot of the cards I had in my workload, and probably better than I could have, and probably a lot faster. I would've liked to check out some of your decks in game, but they interfere with the decks I've made... Any chance of you uploading the .XML files for the decks in a ZIP or something?

You could always just extract the WAD to get the XML files (along with the AI personalities, deck box images, etc...), no need for a separate file to be uploaded.

I wouldn't have asked if I knew that you could do that. I wouldn't exactly say it's common knowledge.

Hi there,

I'm a long-time lurker on these forums and I always enjoy trying out new cards. I figured it might be helpful to point out some of the bugs I've run into while playing with the cards in your mod. Bear in mind that I'm not a modder myself so I couldn't tell you what exactly is wrong with the code.

These are the bugs I've noticed as of the 9/24/2014 update:

Force Away - the looting ability that triggers off Ferocious doesn't give you an option to not loot.

Savage Knuckleblade - the activated abilities don't do anything when activated.

If this was helpful, let me know and I'll point out any other bugs I come across. Regardless, keep up the great work!

Thanks, I will look into those.
