Talk about new cards here

[Yanna]

But it seems the card won't work if there are more than 3 <ACTIVATED_ABILITY/> tags in it.

Yeah i confirm that, tying to code the first version of black lotus a long time ago. I did add one ability for every mana color => It only handles 3 at maximum.

Back on Training Grounds :
I tried to code this : (using influencing_zone="InPlay" )

Code: Select all

    <STATIC_ABILITY influencing_zone="InPlay" layer="8">

      <FILTER>
        return (Creatures() and InPlay())
      </FILTER>

      <EFFECT>
        DecreaseCost( 1 )
      </EFFECT>

    </STATIC_ABILITY>


As i thought, it does lowers the InPlay Creatures casting cost but not anything regarding their abilities...

OK, those that know me here at CCGHQ are propably wondering what the heck took Bog Wraith so long to as for his favorite card?

I've gotten it for both ManaLink & Forge, so I'm trying for the hat trick, (being a Canadian, it follows as a hockey fan!), so here it goes...

I would like to request & hope it is possible to code the card Necropotence. Unquestionably my favorite MTG card of all time & IMHO the best too!

With Phyrexian Arena in it should work, however the pay life for cards & have the cards held until the end of turn, along with the discarded cards needing to be removed from the game might be a problem. Those two mechanics of Necropotence were always a bit of a stumbling block for the other 2 games I mentioned, but they were overcome and the card functions very well in both ManaLink & Forge.

Oh, and of course, my namesake card of Bog Wraith would be nice in the game too, using the original art of course!

SO I hope it can be added to DOTP too!

Thanks

[Yanna]

I'll take the challenge of Necropotence, got a fine idea on how to do it
Actually the pay life for cards and remove them / retrieve them at end of turn is the easier bit...

As for Bog Wraith it's too overpowered to be done ! (Was one of my nightmare when i started playing, especially caus i love sawmps ^^. Hey just joking of course, it'll be soon done)

It's good to see Bog Wraith kicking around here and getting things done!

Nothing pleases me more than seeing your avatar my friend!

Well, that and a Necropotence card to play with!

Hopefully it's bug free http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=3063&p=40547#p40547

Thanks again Yanna for Necropotence!

Ok, I'd like to ask if another card I'd like to use in my Necro deck can be made:

Lake of the Dead.

Already in the game, made by 8888 DLC (kev or logoliv)

I'm trying to code Necroskitter, and it driving me nuts...
The problem is how to code wither
I've tried that :

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY tag="NECROSKITTER_RULE_1" auto_skip="1" layer="0" >

    <TRIGGER value="CREATURE_DEALT_COMBAT_DAMAGE_TO_CREATURE">
        return SelfTriggered()
    </TRIGGER>

    <EFFECT>
        local damage = Damage():GetAmount()
        SecondaryObject():GetCurrentCharacteristics():Toughness_Add( damage )
        SecondaryObject():AddCounters( MTG():MinusOneMinusOneCounters(), damage )
    </EFFECT>

</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>


I've tried with "WAS_BLOCKED_BY" trigger instead, with a static ability (PreventAllDamage) on Necroskitter, but nothing works : I can't prevent normal damage to be done.

[Bog Wraith]

For the Seeds of Rot deck, the Golgari Rot Farm would fit in very nicely. I'm not sure who built that deck but if you could add 4 of them in they would work very well indeed!

[codeALPHA]

Try that for trigger

Code: Select all

      <TRIGGER value="CREATURE_TOOK_DAMAGE">
        if ( Damage():GetSource() == Object() ) and ( Damage():IsCombat() == 1 )then
          override = true
          return true
        else
          return false
        end
      </TRIGGER>


It should prevent all damage dealt to creature. I used similar code in Protean Hydra.

Edit: I forgot to mention you also need pre_trigger="1" and maybe internal="1" in the ability tags.

[logoliv]

it works thanks !

[codeALPHA]

Wellcome!

It is appreciate for your suggestion for the ability 2 of 'Obstinate Baloth'


It could be both sorcery, instant & creature's ability...so that we could not simply identify target card type.

Got confused.
