Innistrad Scripts

[friarsol]

Just one question, what does the "IsCurse$ True" parameter do? I see it in negative pump spells/abilities but not in positive pump spells/abilities like Giant Growth.

The Curse parameter tells the AI to target Human stuff instead of his own stuff.

[ArsenalNut]

I will open a new issue for the cost prompt (we have this problem for a lot of non-standard costs). The cost description will appear on the equipped creature so it's worth to add it.

Why open a new bug? This should already be possible (I just haven't had the chance to write up docs about it).

Try it like this:

Code: Select all

SVar:TorchDamage:AB$ DealDamage | Cost$ T Sac<1/Card.Attached+namedBlazing Torch/Equipped Blazing Torch> | ValidTgts$ Creature,Player,Planeswalker | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature or player | NumDmg$ 2 | DamageSource$ Sacrificed | SpellDescription$ Blazing Torch deals 2 damage to target creature or player.


Also, you probably need a +YouCtrl in there in case your Torch gets stolen by the AI.

Adding "/Equipped Blazing Torch" made the prompt much better.

As for adding the "+YouCtrl", shouldn't the sacrifice cost already check for this since your not allowed to sacrifice something you don't control.

701.13a To sacrifice a permanent, its controller moves it from the battlefield directly to its owner’s graveyard. A player can’t sacrifice something that isn’t a permanent, or something that’s a permanent he or she doesn’t control. Sacrificing a permanent doesn’t destroy it, so regeneration or other effects that replace destruction can’t affect this action.

Just after I wrote this, I wondered if Sol already thought about it. Good work.
We have lots of cards that could be updated.

Yes. For permanents to sacrifice only your stuff is considered (before isValid is applied).

Now, Blasphemous Act was really fun and challenging to script. I used cards like Pyroclasm, Lodestone Golem, Frogtosser Banneret and Frogmite as examples. I checked the wiki to see if there were any instructions on how to handle the K:CostChange line and found only a "coming soon". From what I deduced,

Code: Select all

K:CostChange:Player:Less:X:Self:All:All:NoSpecial

after "K:CostChange", the 1st parameter checks who the altered cost affects. It can be "Player" or "All".
The 2nd and 3rd parameters check by how much the cost is reduced or increased. "Less", "More", and any number (or X) can go there.
The 4th parameter checks whether the effect affects the card being played or other cards to be played in the future. "Self" or "Spell" go here.
The 5th always says "All" in all the cards I saw. No idea what goes here.
The 6th parameter indicates card types such as "Artifact", "Dragon", and "Goblin/Rogue" (the slash means and).
The 7th parameter specifies the effect. It is usually "NoSpecial", but can also be "OnlyOneBonus" and "NonType" to mean nonartifact creature, for example.
Hope I did well with the script for Blasphemous Act

Sorry for the delay!

Just a minor typo, the card's name is Stromkirk Noble

And finally, I didn't quite understand the whole discussion about putting the SetInfo line on the scripts. Is that really necessary?

EDIT:

Each individual should commit their claimed scripts once magiccards.info has the spoiler up. If you want to script cards but don't have commit privileges, please mention that in the posting where you add a script, so we can know that someone will need to add them up for you.

Seeing I don't even know what the word "commit" means, I probably don't have privileges to do such thing. I'll add this to every post I made with scripts.
EDIT 2:
Added the description for the CostChange keyword in the text line for Blasphemous Act.

[ArsenalNut]

And finally, I didn't quite understand the whole discussion about putting the SetInfo line on the scripts. Is that really necessary?

Short answer: No

Long answer: Max MTG initially introduced a code change that made the SetInfo mandatory but he has since changed that code so they are not mandatory. You just get "???" in the some of the fields in the deck editor.

It is generally preferred to leave the SetInfo off so the admins can run the setInfoScript python script to add the information. The script won't modify cards that already have SetInfo so it won't find errors in manually created fields.

[slapshot5]

I might take a crack at these two-sided "transform" cards. I might start with flip cards. Those should be easier since two-sided has the added complication that you can see the back side.

Out of curiosity, where does this matter? A quick reading of the rules here:

http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/article.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/innistrad/dfcrules

makes it sound like it really doesn't matter even if it's on top of you library or in your hand.

So, for programming, I'm not sure there's any difference between flip cards and two-faced cards. Except maybe we want to rotate the pic 180 degrees if a card is flipped. We should probably have some kind of overlay icon for this.

I think I convinced myself transform cards would be easier...

If anyone has thoughts on this, please let me know.

-slapshot5

[friarsol]

For Transform cards, the only time they can be in "night" mode is on the battlefield. Everywhere else they are in "day" mode. Flip cards are exactly the same. (They are generally in "normal" mode and can be "upside down" mode after conditions are met.

If we have different images for each of the flip cards (which I think would make sense), then there really isn't any difference between transform and flip cards, just a terminology difference.

You'll need at least revision 10324 of the code for my version of the script to work. I just checked in changes that added support for remembering drawn cards and CheckSVar support for SubAbility.

Edit: Moved "OptionalDecider$ You" to trigger line. Script is slightly more efficient this way.

I tested mine, I have the "OptionalDecider$ You" parameter in the trigger line. It works just fine: when something dies you get to do nothing or draw and discard one.

ArsenalNut is refering to corner cases where drawing a card fails (if Maralen of the Mornsong is out for example). In these cases you don't have to discard. That's why his script suggestion is so complicated.

To be honest, I missed the OptionalDecider in the trigger line when I first looked at your script. Sloth just made me look good by coming up with a corner case that my version catches Actually, putting the OptionalDecider in the trigger line is slightly more efficient because the Draw AF doesn't get called that way.
