TriggerController

[Sloth]

After much thought i brought myself to add this parameter for triggers.

What is it for?
It can be used for permanents with triggers like "When CARDNAME dies,..." or "When CARDNAME leaves the battlefield,...". Without this parameter the owner will control the ability (because the card is already in the graveyard when the trigger triggers).

Example:

| Open

Code: Select all

Name:Aven Fisher
ManaCost:3 U
Types:Creature Bird Soldier
Text:no text
PT:2/2
K:Flying
T:Mode$ ChangesZone | Origin$ Battlefield | Destination$ Graveyard | ValidCard$ Card.Self | OptionalDecider$ TriggeredCardController | TriggerController$ TriggeredCardController | Execute$ TrigDraw | TriggerDescription$ When CARDNAME is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may draw a card.
SVar:TrigDraw:AB$Draw | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ You | NumCards$ 1


.

Why can't this be solved in a way that doesn't require a change of scripts?
While the triggers mentioned above all need this change, some triggers do not. For example "When CARDNAME is put into your graveyard from the battlefield,..." was implemented correctly and wouldn't work correctly anymore if the owner is not the controller.

What needs to be done?
I'm afraid all cards with "When CARDNAME dies,...", "When CARDNAME leaves the battlefield,..." and some similar triggers need to be changed.

Thanks Sloth. As soon as I've got my RL work out the way I'll help convert these. I'll also be able to post the script by Squee for Sylvan Hierophant which suffered from the lack of this feature. You rock!

The great thing about Wikis is that anyone is able to fix things like that.
