Ability_Activated and custom input

[slapshot5]

Hi all,

Is it possible to use custom input for targeting using Ability_Activated?

I'm thinking Brass Squire. It's pretty easy to implement.

Code: Select all

Ability_Cost abCost = new Ability_Cost("T", cardName, true);
Ability_Activated ab = new Ability_Activated(card, abCost, ???);


What about the ???? If I use null, I can't use setBeforePayMana, and if I use Target, I'm limited to what that can provide.

Can I do custom input for targeting with a tap ability?

There isn't really a custom input available for Ability_Activated.

However, I think this is the cleanest way to do it.

Write an Ability_Activated and a Ability_Sub with it. The Ability_Activated would target an Equipment you control. The Ability_Sub would target a Creature you control. The parent would resolve the child. The child would check if both targets are still legal, then attach the parent's target to its target.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
