Programming a card

[cyclope]

If Dennis could explain me how he will fix the bug with the Lieges card , i'm found of explainations...

I've tried to code two other cards:
Grixis Battlemage:

Code: Select all

Grixis Battlemage

//*************** START *********** START **************************
if (cardName.equals("Grixis Battlemage")
    {
   
   final SpellAbility ability = new Ability_Tap(card, "U")
        {

         private static final long serialVersionUID = ;
         public boolean canPlayAI() {return false;}
        public void resolve()
        {
          AllZone.GameAction.drawCard(card.getController());
          AllZone.InputControl.setInput(CardFactoryUtil.input_discard());
        }
      };//SpellAbility
      card.addSpellAbility(ability);
      ability.setDescription("U ,tap: Draw a card, then discard a card.");
      ability.setStackDescription("Grixis Battlemage - draw a card, then discard a card.");
     
    }//*************** END ************ END **************************

but i'm not sure the AI can target a creature with TgtKpump keyword...

Rep me if i've made some errors...I've made some headways but i don't understand the whole code...

Rep me if i've made some errors... I've made some headways but i don't understand the whole code...

I think that you are doing a good job. I am also learning Java and Eclipse. I know you have a Macbook. Have you tried Eclipse?

I sometimes have problems creating the

private static final long serialVersionUID =

and I have learned that Eclipse will at times fail to create them properly and I now repeat the process until it works.

[cyclope]

Hi Chris , i've only used eclipse to re-compile the source to make an gui that works with my mac for some version of MTG Forge...
I'll try to add longserialversion UID with new cards soon and i'll rep you as soon as i've done it...

I hope all these codes are correct ....

[DennisBergkamp]

Nice Cyclope, I'll add these, thanks
As for the Lieges, I'm not 100% sure how to make them work without bugs yet. I'll play around with the code though...

When generating one of those serialIDs in Eclipse, be sure that there's no compile errors on the file you're working on, also be sure to save first, then generate it.

[Chris H.]

When generating one of those serialIDs in Eclipse, be sure that there's no compile errors on the file you're working on, also be sure to save first, then generate it.

`
There are times on my Mac when a serialID is generated yet I still get the warning stating that I need a serialID. So, I generate the serialID a second time and get the same exact serialID string.

And I now get a warning/error since I have two of them in place. So I delete one of the two serialIDs and everything works at that point. Do you see something similar in Windows or is this a Mac Eclipse specific problem.

[silly freak]

i think this is more a timing thing. eclipse needs its time to recompile after changing card factory, so it may just not yet have realized that there is an id.

[DennisBergkamp]

Hmm, it might be a performance kind of thing (in CardFactory). Save right after generating the serialID and wait a second or two, the warning should disappear.
In the next version performance will be way better, so that shouldn't be much of a problem anymore.

Or maybe it is something funky going on with Mac/Eclipse.

But i've got a question : does MTG Forge make the difference between "deal damage to target player" and "target player loses one life" ? If it does , i think my code for Telim isn't correct...

[Rob Cashwalker]

But i've got a question : does MTG Forge make the difference between "deal damage to target player" and "target player loses one life" ? If it does, i think my code for Telim isn't correct...

Depends on when the code was written and who wrote it.Originally, most all instances of the actual dealing of damage to the player is handled by simply subtracting the number from the player's life object.
When I released the spDamageTgt keyword, I added methods to GameAction class (that mirror the damage to a creature) as placeholders for dealing with damage to the player. All the method currently does subtract the life as we do now, but it serves as a central location where code may be placed to deal with prevention/redirection/multiplication or other effects. Old damage code can gradually be transitioned to point to this damagePlayer method. Losing life would also need to be handled similarly.

"Oh friendly forum administrators, would you be so kind as to move this post to Developer's Corner!"

I think we should make sure that cyclope will be able to find this message topic that he started.

@ cyclope

Have you visited the MTG Forge > Developer's Corner section? If the "Programming a card" topic is moved to the Developer's Corner forum will you be able to find it?

We have some nice topics covering various areas of Forge development. We would enjoy having you and this topic join the Developer's Corner forum.

Thanks for your answer Rob...

And for Chris , yes , if you want you can move my thread to the "developper's corner " if you want , i think i'll be able to find it...

As I was reading GameActionUtil.java file, i found the code for Aven Brigadier. I saw that there was a code when there was more than one Aven brigradier in play...

Can we add this code for the Lieges that I've proposed ?

Like this, for example, for Boartusk Liege:

Code: Select all

public static Command Boartisk_Liege_Other = new Command()
   {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = ;
      
      int otherBoartusk = 0;
      
      private int countOtherBoartusk()
      {
         PlayerZone hPlay = AllZone.getZone(Constant.Zone.Play, Constant.Player.Human);
         PlayerZone cPlay = AllZone.getZone(Constant.Zone.Play, Constant.Player.Computer);
         CardList boartusklieges = new CardList();
         
         boartusklieges.addAll(hPlay.getCards());
         boartusklieges.addAll(cPlay.getCards());
         boartusklieges = boartusklieges.getName("Boartusk Liege");
         return boartusklieges.size()-1;

      }

      public void execute()
      {

         
         CardList creature = new CardList();
         creature.addAll(AllZone.Human_Play.getCards());
         creature.addAll(AllZone.Computer_Play.getCards());
         
         creature = creature.getName("Boartusk Liege");

         for (int i = 0; i < creature.size(); i++)
         {
            Card c = creature.get(i);
            otherBoartusk = countOtherBoartusk();
            c.setOtherAttackBoost(2*otherBoartusk);
            c.setOtherDefenseBoost(2*otherBoartusk);
         }// for inner
