Custom Card Thread

Thanks for the help. Now it gains charge counters as intended, but it crashes when it goes to trigger for the exile bit. I put in the changes you suggested. Am I blind or derping or something?

Edit 1: After further testing, the triple damage didn't work for my Lightning Bolt.
Edit 2: I have narrowed it down to the exile trigger and the triple damage for spells. Creatures seem to do triple as expected, but my Lightning Bolt did not. The game crashed as it tried to resolve the damage from the spell. I reuploaded the script for the card. When it reaches the third upkeep after I played it, it crashes as well.

This week I will focus in the scripting and playtesting part. I hope you like the cards.

For triple spell damage, is it possible to use "three times X" instead of dmgthrice?

Original code (crashes as it tries to resolve damage)
R:Event$ DamageDone | ActiveZones$ Battlefield | ValidSource$ Card.Red | ValidTarget$ Creature,Player | ReplaceWith$ DmgThrice | IsCombat$ False | Description$ If a red source would deal damage to a creature or player, it deals triple that damage to that creature or player instead.

Because as far as I know, there aren't any cards that do triple spell damage, are there?

We use Thrice in a few places:

Crypt Incursion
Devouring Rage
Glacial Plating


It looks like the SVar is named incorrectly:

SVar:DmgTwice:AB$DealDamage | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ ReplacedTarget | DamageSource$ ReplacedSource | NumDmg$ X | References$ X

Where it should be named "DmgThrice"

Also, it would help to post the errors. I didn't notice before, but the exile effect is definitely wrong.. Not sure where you got it from originally?

Code: Select all

SVar:TrigExile:AB$ ChangeZone | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ Self | Origin$ Battlefield | Destination$ Exile

[Taris36]

Here's the current version of the code and the two errors I'm getting. So far, the enchantment gains charges as expected, it causes red creatures to do triple damage, and it has shroud, but that's all.

Edit 1: I tried matching the exile SVar you had and it still crashed. Uploaded new versions. I feel really stupid at the moment.

[friarsol]

Well, as I said. API is wrong for the Effect "Exile" instead of ChangeZone. Not sure what's going on with the other thing. Looks fine to me. And Lightning Bolt + Furnace are working in the engine.

Furnace of Rath only doubles, it doesn't triple.

I'm an idiot because I forgot to change the file the game was using. *facepalm* I was editing the extra I had as a backup. I updated the file the game uses. So now the exile part works fine. Yay!!! But now the Lightning Bolt does no damage at all. It also doesn't crash the game anymore. Weird.

Edit 1: I changed Y to X and it gives me this error.
Original code:
SVar:DmgThrice:AB$DealDamage | Cost$ 0 | CombatDamage$ False | Defined$ ReplacedTarget | DamageSource$ ReplacedSource | NumDmg$ Y | References$ Y
New Code:

Hope I'm not being a pest.

My next 20 for today.

[correioalternativo]

My third miniset is ready, I will upload the first 20 spoilers. As always suggestions are accepted.

Blazing Runes: very good.
Ancient Tome: interesting.
Ancient Shipwreck: cheap and reusable, I think it is overpowered this way.
Abyss Assassin: nice card, combo fuel.
Abandoned Library: very good, maybe dangerous.
Electroblaze: great card.
Connecting Ray: should be rare.

[edessa]

Any opinions and suggestions are welcome.

Furnace of Rath only doubles, it doesn't triple.

My point was that Furnace of Rath works, and your card doesn't, so there must still be an issue with your script. What happens to X doesn't matter. The problem is X isn't even being passed through properly.

Compare your code -

Code: Select all

SVar:DmgThrice:AB$DealDamage | Cost$ 0 | CombatDamage$ False | Defined$ ReplacedTarget | DamageSource$ ReplacedSource | NumDmg$ X | References$ X
SVar:DmgThriceCombat:AB$DealDamage | Cost$ 0 | CombatDamage$ True | Defined$ ReplacedTarget | DamageSource$ ReplacedSource | NumDmg$ X | References$ X

to Furnace of Rath

Code: Select all

SVar:DmgTwice:AB$DealDamage | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ ReplacedTarget | DamageSource$ ReplacedSource | NumDmg$ X | References$ X
SVar:DmgTwiceCombat:AB$DealDamage | Cost$ 0 | CombatDamage$ True | Defined$ ReplacedTarget | DamageSource$ ReplacedSource | NumDmg$ X | References$ X

There's one key difference still and that's "CombatDamage$ False" in the normal damage. This shouldn't be here at all.

Your Ice Shards card's effect confuses me. Did you want to damage an opponent's creature then add a +1/+1 counter to one of your creatures?

friarsol: I got the card working. It is now fully functional. Thanks a lot for the help. I really do appreciate it.

Edit 1: I didn't read edessa's card right. My bad. Keep up the good work edessa!!!

Thanks, I hope the rest of the set like you. I have a question for you, are you developing some kind of Avatar set??? That would be interesting.
