Xander -- is there a trick to getting Debug text to show up on the card in game? I have the Debug("") and Debug("", k) patterns, but do they need to go inside a particular ability or a CDATA section to show up dynamically?

Also, when filtering, if hybrid or multicolor cards are in play, will a filter for white cards automatically include a card that is red-white?

[Xander9009]

They need to go in basically any tag that can contain functions. RTA, PTA, CA, Target/Cost, Target/Cost Definition, Duration, Cleanup. Basically anything that can run code.

Code: Select all

<RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local k = 3
    Debug(k) -- Displays "[3]" in game. (Brackets are automatic and uncontrollable.)
   
    Debug("k", k) -- Displays "[k: 3]"
</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

That should show 3 in game. If it's not working like it's supposed to, then I'm not sure what's going on. I use it all the time. It's a function I wrote a long time ago, and I've never had a problem with it. But I did modify it recently.

For the filtering, that depends on the other color settings. If you're in the simple filter screen, then in order to also show red/white cards, you'd need the color drop down set to "Any matching item". This will show all cards that are white. If you set it to "Exact matches only", and then you check White, Red, and Multicolor, you'll get all red/white cards. If you set it to "Any combination" with those same ones checked, you get all white cards, all red cards, and all red/white cards.

If you're in the advanced filter screen, then adding white will show any card that is white. The card's other colors are ignored unless you specifically add them (either as "and" or "not").

If you wanted to, say, show all cards that are white or white/red, you'd add "and white" "not blue" "not black" "not green".

I almost have Yawgmoth's Agenda working. The cards in the graveyard have "Play this card" appearing in blue, but the ability is not clickable to activate.

Everything else is working as intended.

I'm not sure why you're using LinkedDC and linked_ability_group. I don't think you need them.

I tried this but it didn't work. I appreciate the help though.

[Xander9009]

My planeswalker still could not enter the battlefield when white hulk was in my battlefield

Besides, Chandra, Torch of Defiance also has bugs. When the top card of my library was exiled, I could not cast it. When I chose not to cast it, the opponent did not get damages. Furthermore, I could not use added mana to cast kozilek the great distortion for some reason.

For Kozilek, the Great Distortion, did you have at least 2 colorless mana in your mana pool? It can't be paid for with all colored mana. At least 2 of your mana must be colorless.

fallenangle has updated Chandra, Torch of Defiance. I'll be testing it later today or tomorrow.

Not sure about the Cataclysmic Gearhulk. I'll look into it later if Splinterverse doesn't.

Not sure about the Cataclysmic Gearhulk. I'll look into it later if Splinterverse doesn't.

I've looked at the code and I don't see anything that would cause a planeswalker to not be able to enter after Cataclysmic Gearhulk has resolved. There was the bug with Energy where when Cataclysmic Gearhulk wiped the board, it wiped all traces of Energy. I'm wondering if, since Planeswalkers are really enchantments, some sort of register for them gets wiped as well?

[Xander9009]

I'll have to check the code in a few minutes, but it sounds to me like it's sacrificing the manager tokens we use.

EDIT: Yes, that's the issue. It's using FE_IS_PERMANENT on line 109. That should be CW_Filter_AddPermanents(filter).

The manager tokens, while not technically tokens (they lack the <TOKEN /> tag), are technically permanents. The game can't inherently distinguish between them and the permanents it should be targeting. For anything that targets (using an actual <TARGET...> tag), it's irrelevant because they have protection and shroud. For anything that destroys, it's irrelevant because they have indestructible. But a few effects can remove them. For instance, sacrificing, or forced zone changes (like returning all permanents to hand). For anything that "targets" using a ChooseItem or ChooseItems function, then you'll need to be careful as well, since neither protection nor shroud prevents them from being chosen.

Makes sense. I've added this to my notes. Did you fix it? If not, I can fix and upload with the rest of my work later today.

I only noted it. Didn't actually change anything.

Can I use card:GetCardType():Test(CARD_TYPE_PLANESWALKER) or do I have to use a different way to test if a card is a planeswalker since behind-the-scenes they are really enchantments? I don't think I can use a filter in this instance.

[Xander9009]

This makes more sense here, so I'll delete my response on the other thread. For planeswalkers, enchantments, and permanents, you can use CW_General_IsPlaneswalker(oCard) (obviously change "Planeswalker" to whichever one you're testing).

As a note, all functions starting with "CW_" have the file they're found in as the start of the function name. CW_General_...() is found in CW_GENERAL.LOL. If you'd like, you can go look through the various function files. Not all of them are properly documented, but most of the CW_* ones are.

For future reference, swamp is another card type you should never check for normally. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth needed a hefty workaround, so all swamp references need to be handled specially using CW_General_SwampFilter() and CW_General_IsSwamp() (although the former function may move to the new CW_FILTER.LOL function file; it didn't exist when that function was made).

[Splinterverse]

Xander - thanks for the tip on Planeswalker checks.

Any idea on why this doesn't work . . .

Code: Select all

<TRIGGER value="CANT_BLOCK_TEST" simple_qualifier="self" pre_trigger="1">
         local total = 0
         local filter = ClearFilter()
         filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_LAND  )
         filter:Add( FE_IS_TAPPED, false )
         filter:Add( FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, EffectController())
         total = filter:Count()
         if total &gt; 0 then
            return true
         end
         return false
      </TRIGGER>


[Xander9009]

I don't see any inherent issues. It looks to me like it should prevent a creature from blocking if you control any tapped lands. Is that right?

Just for a bit of random OCD from me...

Code: Select all

if total > 0 then
    return true
end
return false


and

Code: Select all

return total > 0

are identical.
Also, since you're not doing anything special with total (just using it one time and no special actions being taken with it),

Code: Select all

total = filter:Count()
return total > 0

and

Code: Select all

return filter:Count() > 0

are identical.
