Formal Request Thread

[crypt]

I'm posting some feedback on cards that are currently in the CW but aren't working correctly, if someone could please have a look at these if/when they have time;

Bladewing the Risen
Line 64 has a typo, PutOnBattlefield instead of PutOntoBattlefield, it should be;

Code: Select all

      target:PutOntoBattlefield( EffectController() )


Dragonlord Kolaghan
The card seems to work fine but gives the following error in the script log;

Code: Select all

[lua] [string "DRAGONLORD_KOLAGHAN_CW_394548_TITLE (TRIGGER)~0x00001564"]:4: attempt to call method 'Set_Zone' (a nil value)


Dromoka's Command
Only allows 1 choice, but all the effects work.

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher
The kobold tokens created by this card and the ones from Utvara Hellkite cause the game to crash about 75% of the time when they are destroyed. The crash occurs right when the game is moving them to the graveyard if that helps. I have seen other mention of issues with tokens, not sure if this is part of the larger issue or specific to these cards.

Harbinger of the Hunt
Gives the following error in script log;

Code: Select all

[lua] [string "HARBINGER_OF_THE_HUNT_CW_394591_TITLE (RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION)~..."]:4: ')' expected (to close '(' at line 3) near 'end'


Haven of the Spirit Dragon
The mana of any color produced can be used for any spell, not just Dragons.
The last effect (sacrifice to return dragon or ugin) does not work, no trigger on the card to activate.
Also gives the following errors in the script log;

Code: Select all

Cavern of Souls
The code in this card to "choose a creature type" is a bit awkward, and it doesn't seem to have Dragon in the list.
The code in Urza's Incubator has a similar effect, and works nicely.

These are the issues I have come across so far, and this seemed like the best place to post them. I hope this info is helpful, it is meant only as constructive criticism.

Thanks guys!

[Xander9009]

Fixed everything except Cavern of Souls. Either you have a extra set of functions interfering (because Dragon appears to be in the list as excepted) or the code needs replaced with the Urza's Incubator version, and I don't have the time at the moment. The rest will be fixed in the next repack.

mtg 2015 just added some more cards (which is probably why they havent released it yet)

[nivmizzet1]

I would like some help with two cards, some Vow enchantments, Vow of Duty and Vow of Flight. Basically, it's the part of the ability that states "Enchanted creature ...snip... can’t attack you or a planeswalker you control". All the cards that state something can't attack a player use the CAN'T_ATTACK_PLAYER_TEST, which is part of a triggered ability, but I can't see how it can be used to prevent an enchanted creature from attacking, unless there is some kind of filter I can apply. For now, I've just used half of pacifism, so the enchanted creature can't attack anybody, which is obviously wrong and basically ruins half the card's utility.

[Xander9009]

Well, the ability should have active_zone="ZONE_GRAVEYARD" in the ACTIVATED_ABILITY tag.
Make sure you get the mana cost right, and you'll use GetEffectX() to know how much the aura can cost.

When the ability is activated, set up a delayed trigger for EffectSource() entering the battlefield and then return the card to the battlefield. Make sure to store GetEffectX() in an int in the delayDC that you pass to the delayed trigger.

In the delayed trigger, filter for target auras in EffectContoller()'s hand with CMC less than or equal to the stored value (if you stored it in DelayDC:Set_Int(1), then it'll be in EffectDC():Get_Int(1) because the chest you pass to the delayed trigger becomes the EffectDC()).

Once you have a target aura, put it onto the battlefield with Target:PutOntoBattlefieldAttachedTo(EffectController(), EffectSource()). That might not work, but it should be close enough that you can debug it or tell us where it fails.

----

As for Vow of Duty, you do the the test. It's a replacement triggered ability where the trigger is pretrigger and returns true if the creature can attack TriggerPlayer() and false otherwise. So, add in the localized text:

<STATIC_ABILITY linked_ability_group="1">

   </TRIGGER>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

This should make it so the granted ability has its controller (you) as the stored player and thus the trigger returns false if it's currently checking if the creature can attack you. If this doesn't seem to work, try storing the player AFTER granting the ability rather than before. The ability might need to be granted so it exists before the LinkedDC can be used. I'm pretty sure that's not the case, but I'm not certain.

It's not working either way. As it is, both ways prevent my enchanted creature from attacking and still allow an opponents enchanted creature to attack me. I'm guessing the solution is simple, but I don't know what it is. Is the problem that the player being set is actually the controller of the enchantment, not the enchanted creature? Does LinkedDC():Set_PlayerPtr(0, EffectController()) need to be changed so it's the controller of the Parent?

[sweetLu]

you might want to look at Riiak's corrected version of Form of the Dragon. You should be able to modify that for your needs.

[Xander9009]

Definitely look into Form of the Dragon. But no, it's "you", which means the person who controls the effect, which is the same person that currently controls the card the effect is on, which is the enchantment, not the enchanted creature. Otherwise, it would ONLY be useful if you enchanted an opponent's creature. It's supposed to be good if it enchants yours, too.

I think I fixed it just by changing "return TriggerPlayer() ~= LinkedDC():Get_PlayerPtr(0)" to "return TriggerPlayer() == LinkedDC():Get_PlayerPtr(0)".

EDIT: That was the obvious thing, given how it was working, but I thought I'd already tried that, which is where the difficulty arose.

[Xander9009]

So, I've decided to code Spawnsire of Ulamog if I can. The problem is that I'm not sure if I can actually cast a card that's not in the game. The best I can think of is to include the cards to cast in the deck and exile them at the beginning of the game.

That seems really clunky. Although, if that is what I did, then I could make it so the cards are actually shown and you could click the ones you want to cast. Otherwise, it'll be done with buttons if I can figure out how to cast a card that's not in the game. In that case, there would be a list of eldrazi cards you could choose from, and I was thinking I'd assume you have 4 of each common, 3 of each uncommon, 2 of each rare, and 1 of each mythic rare. Or a second version of the card which assumes 4 copies are owned. And it'll just ask you which ones to cast after removing any you have in the deck.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? If I have to use the exiling, I might try using the ZONE_CEASED_TO_EXIST or something. We'll see how that all goes. I just wanted to know if anyone had thoughts on the plausibility of casting non-existent cards.

[zysron]

i dont think you should... not unless you can make it so that the card see's what is in the "sideboard" which is all the cards you did not put in your deck that the game knows you had.
i had a major dispute once with this card and had to look up tournament rulings... and the rulings stated that the cards had to be in the sideboard (up to 15 cards) to use spawnsire's ability. otherwise you can do what i did which was summon an 33 eldrazi cards with the first to resolve being All Is Dust (i didnt have a It That Betrays)

[Xander9009]

I'm going to make the card. I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on how best to go about it. I'm not worried about the tournament ruling because the spirit of the ability is basically a more fun version of "{20}: You win the game."

EDIT: After thinking about it, the following wouldn't really be the best solution, but it should be a usable one. Enumerate the Eldrazi cards in all present decks/your deck (including all zones, not just libraries) and allow the player to cast up to 15 of those cards, up to 4 copies of any given card minus however many are in the current deck.

Iterate through each player's cards, storing all cards with subtype Eldrazi if not already in the chest and which the player has less than 4 copies of in this or her deck.
Allow player to choose cards from chest, storing results in a new chest.
Iterate through that chest, allowing player to choose a number from 0 to X, where X is 4-Copies in deck with a Max of 15 - the numbers chosen so far.
Iterate through chest again, casting copies of the cards for free (resulting in a max of 15 cards cast, with no more than 4 of any given card in the deck post-casting total).

It'll have bad interactions with a few cards, but it should work. For instance, the cards should, at that point, be considered part of the game, and if they die, they should go to your graveyard. Since they're copies, they won't.

[zysron]

ruling #6:in a casual game, the cards you cast from outside the game come from your personal collection. In a sanctioned event, those cards must come from your sideboard. Note that you can't cast cards from exile this way; exile is a zone in the game.
so graveyard and deck are also invalid(if you choose to go by tournament rulings)
also the cards, once cast from outside the game become part of the game and hence would go into your graveyard if canceled resolved or destroyed. (so by making them an auto addon to the deck that is exiled when the game is started would be the best way to do it) and anyone planning on spawnsire as the winn is deffinatly going to go for massive manaramp (turn 5 20 mana its hard but possible in real games) which would be blue green deck (draw mana ramp)the only problem is it would have to be a premade deck not a premade card b/c wouldnt multiple spawnsires add multiples of those cards to the deck? in effect rendering the deck unbuildable with multiple spawnsires?

but really if i built the deck it would be blue green omniscience, mana ramp, blue sun, gennisis, draw, landfall life gain, Platinum Angel, and Asceticism eff it thro in a green sun and Platinum Imperion as well lol

[Phage8]

Hi,anyone could make Karn liberated? Even an «approximated one» would fit,since i red somewhere the third effect cannot work right. Thank You.

[Xander9009]

Karn Liberated was coded by fallenangel and NeoAnderson already. It's not yet included in the planeswalker pool, though, I think. fallenangel sent me the card (as well as three other planeswalkers) and once I've tested them and gotten them converted for the CW, they'll be included there.

EDIT: This includes the impossible third ability. It won't be 100%, but I'm told it's a really good approximation. And considering Neo's the one that gave us morph, phasing, mana that can only be spent on certain cards, delve, convoke, and probably some more I'm forgetting (he was quite prolific and amazing while he was active), I'm confident it'll work well.
