Card Contributions

[ArsenalNut]

They all look good. Little corrctions:
1. Riddle of Lightning needs RemAIDeck.
2. Steamflogger Boss is missing YouCtrl in the Affected parameter and doesn't need SVar:RemRandomDeck:True (it's better than Hill Giant).

If fixed the cards in the original post. I am working through the missing cards in the Future Sight set. I have notes on why certain cards in the set are not currently script-able. I also have notes for the Morningtide set. Is it worth while to post them somewhere? If so, where?

If anyone is looking for some cards to do I just scripted up Endoskeleton (using some special sauce) which can be used as a structure for most of these cards: http://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3Achoo ... rd&s=cname

The second ability is currently meaningless

EDITED :
1. RemAIDeck added to Riddle of Lightning
2. Steamflogger Boss added YouCtrl in the Affected parameter and removed RemRandomDeck

You still haven't submited these ArsenalNut. (I'm pretty sure that you did commit something already - so you have the possibilty?)

We need more cards.

[jeffwadsworth]

I will have more of those cards that Sol mentioned earlier done soon. My internet service was down during the weekend.

Giant Oyster and Coffin Queen. These are close, but probably not doable in script yet.

I was kind of posting them here for peer review since I am still learning the scripting API.

I was having trouble with my repository yesterday. I'll try to commit them tonight. If I commit a card, should I still post here to let people know?

No, I don't think it's necessary. Only if you are suspicious that it might cause problems.

[ArsenalNut]

I am working my way through the missing Lorwyn cards. I came to Crush Underfoot. At first I thought it couldn't be scripted, then a little inspiration hit me.

Crush Underfoot

Works like a charm!!!

Is it copacetic to implement the card this way? Somehow it feels like cheating

[Hellfish]

That is clever. The only problem is that it shouldn't target the giant, i.e. a giant enchanted with Crystallization should still be usable for Crush Underfoot without being exiled.

[friarsol]

It also doesn't seem like the chosen giant is doing the damage. Check out Repentance for how that would happen.

Tried adding DamageSource$ Remembered to fix, but that causes Forge to crash. Nothing gets added to the Remembered list until the spell resolves but the source is checked before then.

I knew there was something I was overlooking. Oh well, I guess that's another one for the not quite scriptable pile.

Anyone every thought of putting a place in the code repository for card scripts like this. Some place where they wouldn't get used but other developers could see what you tried.

The wiki only has notes on what cards have been tried and why they didn't work. I was thinking more along the lines of capturing the actual card scripts. I have saved off my attempts to didn't quite work outside the project so I can revisit them at a later date.

I must have a few hundred of those cases. It doesn't take long to re-script something anyway.
