========================================
added a function to return the action element id by mtgcardinstance.
=======================================
refactored all 5 combat triggers to be handled in a single class, this change helps reduce the "bits and pieces" of trigger restrictions which some did support while others didnt, it also allows for easier editing and debugging if future code needs to be added to it.
refactored the parsing for the combat triggers also, so that a combat trigger can be built from a single object if it only contains "or"...amongst other reasons.
the new syntax is auto=@combat(blocking,attacking,turnlimited,once) source(TC) from(TC):effect...all the same words are still used, except they are now all included inside the combat(-----) this includes restrictions for the triggers. if a card still needs multiple triggers from some reason...it is still 100% allowed to have as many as you want, with whatever you want inside them...check updated primitive for examples.
the required sections are auto=@combat(atleast one trigger) source(TC):effect.
=========================================
moved the limitsperturn "limit:" from genericactivatedability up to its parent class activatedability, did this for the following reason
first rules correction, the previous method tracked uses on resolve, which is incorrect, it should count as the ability is fired and placed on the stack.
second, it keeps all the actiavted ability restrictions in the same place, this is the location we are checking summoning sickness, actived restrictions such as "myturnonly" ect. makes sense to handle it in the parent.
third, it allow any and all future activated abilities easy access to "limit:" if needed, it would only require adding a limit string to pass on construction to the child classes instead of recoding the same exact checks as genericactivated.
=======================================================
reworked "name(" so that it no longer is required to be used inside a "&&" ability, also it no longer will create a MTGAbility object with a false return. that was just dirty of me :/
enabled "name(" to replace the menutext of alternative cost.
"other={cost} name(holy cow)"
will display "holy cow" instead of "pay alternative cost", this change is nice because we ended up using "other" cost for WAY more then originally planned...now we can label it exactly what it should say when you click it.
======================================================
added a subtype keyword for powertoughnessmodifier so that you can basically switch on non-static variables for it...lifetotal/lifetotal nonstatic...PT can now except all word variables as i added reparsing of the ints, had to maintain old methods as ai needs them to decide what to do with them.
======================================================
removed the following extremely redundant classes
both ABecomes classes---atransformer has become far superior to it, i kept the "becomes(" parsing tho, and it will act exactly as it use to, except now it has access to most of the subkeywords of transforms...it also now allows word variables. and excepts "forever" as a tag. added "newcolor" subkeyword to transforms to create the "becomes(" adding a color without removing colors effect. "becomes(" now returns a constructor for ATransformer that emulates becomes( exactly as it worked before.
both forevertransformer classes, the only difference between the 2 was one subkeyword, and "forever" did not return a "destroy()"...i recreated this in less then 4 lines and a bool. that was sloppy of me :( i guess we learn and improve.
============================================================================
i removed the parsing of card casting restriction from the first pass when cards load, instead of making it a cardprimitive object, i now simply pass the string through the card and build the restrictions when theyre actually needed and checked.
this change allowed for alot of clean up, removing enum and dependancy on cardprimitive, and combining both allowedAltCast and allowedtocast functions checks through a new function "parseCastRestrictions"...this change keeps all the cast resrictions in a single place, which makes it easier to debug or add if needed, and while i was at it, i enabled it so cards can now contain as many restrictions as you want *of the available ones*
added "turn:" as a restriction to make it so "fourth turn" could actually be ANY turn you list, this allowed me to remove a dirty line of code which was checking if a card was o converted cost but had a suspend...lotus bloom...which can not be cast normally..for cards like this now you can use restriction=turn:200 or otherrestriction=turn:200....
=========================================================================
added Phyrexian Mana...svntax {p(r)} ....this will always be payable with 2 life, but if you have a red mana for this example, it will charge you the red mana instead...you can have any combination of P mana you want in any of the games manacost.
===================================================
reworked a bit of the ai logic i added, it now has true interrupting and can now correctly target for fizzles, Ai will go into full out counterspell wars with you now...
===================================================
added a ingame reward system with fancy flying text animations, they reward the player with actual credits, but are extremely hard to trigger off, theyre not meant to be something you see every 5 secs, but something that when you see them trigger you go "damn that was cool"
the triggers and effects are as follows
first the combo system:
you have to chain cast 5 or more card, without tapping or being interupted, tiny bonus for this..chain is broken as soon as you or your opponent tap something.
next combo level is
Abundant Resources - chain 10 or more spells same condition
then
killer - chain 15 or more same condition
this will include a flying text render once a chain is successfully started (5+ cast)
this bonus can be triggered multiple times in a match
the next bonus is
+ //creatures entering play consecutively will allow you a chance
+ //to gain a bonus for maintaining force sizes, it will trigger every 10th
+ //creature which enters play consecutively.
this is restarted every time a noncreature enters play.
the levels are as follows,
Deadly Force Bonus! -10 creatures enter play consecutively
Extreme Infantry Bonus! - 10 creatures enter play consecutively and you maintain a force size of 20+
Malignant Conqueror Bonus! -10 creatures enter play consecutively and you maintain a force size of 40+
this can only be triggered once per level per match.
next bonus is given for having alot of a specific type come into play under your control during a match, this bonus only triggers once per match.
the levels are:
Toy Collector!
Beast Tamer!
Vampire King!
Lord of Swarms!
Master of Elements!
Zombie Apocalypse!
Sword And Shield!
Medic!
The Promenade!
Heavenly Host!
Teeth And Scales!
its pretty easy to figure out what each requires to trigger, teeth and scales for example is dragons, wurms, drakes, and snakes.
the final bonus is deal 100 damage from a single source in a single damage event, this one triggers only once per match.
============================================================
fixed the following bugs::::
regenerate was not working for non-creature regeneration ie:welding jar
ai would sometime get stuck in a infinate loop tho extremely rarely while deciding what to do, the cause
if (clickstream.empty())
computeActions();
is NOT enough...ai should NEVER be computing actions (finding a card or ability to play) when it is NOT the active player..meaning, it does not have priority.
g->currentlyActing() is the player that has priority.
if (clickstream.empty() && g->currentlyActing() == this)...loop fixed :)
dynamicability had a couple weird results, from sources which dont have an amount to return, i now check this and if non, the amount is 0.
transformer will no longer add the same types a card already has..
removed an unneeded
if (!activated) ....oris bug seems to be corrected with this change.
wrapped limitsperturn checks in a conditional to skip it if there is no limit string.
added safer method to get the target of the combat trigger. the previous could potentially cause a crash if you interrupted the ability while the combat trigger was on the stack, it would do a call to "getnextopponent" and return a null pointer. i now send the opponent with the event.
fixed a crash that would happen when a card did not have a type= line. having a type or subtype line is now optional. and highly recommended to avoid using "type=nothing"
moved a function call in buyback isreactingtoclick so that it checks if its in the hand before parsing the restrictions for it.
removed allowedtocast function calls from the alternative payment types, they are only supposed to check allowedtocast if it is something like "buyback" and kicker...not "you may pay this instead"....
corrected an issue with type: variable where it would add the amount depending on the activeplayer. to correct i added a method to call TargetZoneChooser::targetsZone( with a mSource...so that you can set the source card for the scan.
note: all test pass.
2nd, fixed a misunderstood line i added, i was aiming for the tc that triggered the event in trtargted....all tested passed, and i didn't manually test that change (SHAME ON ME!!!)...corrected it in the correct place now, where the event is sent.
3rd, trying to fix a broken alias class, this is a work in progress, i intend to fix this and then convert it to a keyword for draw replacement effects for 16.1(?) anyways, only thing ive left to figure out is telling it how to determine that the last stack ability is a "draw" ability. this class quit working ALONG time ago when the "addDraw" object was no longer used. the methods for card drawing changed and no one updated the alias class to use the new method, i imagine this is also what broke aladdins lamp originally(which the change of draw events and how card display is set up)
fixed a bug with Withering Wisps, moved the parsing of the limit string into the isreactingtoclick function, this allows word varibles such as type: to be used.
2nd, removed a varible isTempPhased, it *appear* it might not be needed, tho i didn't handle phasing the way im converting it to for a reason, so cross your fingers and hope all goes well.
BTW: do not email me about any bugs that ariase with phasing or phased out creature, im not excepting bug reports on it to my email box...instead open a ticket with a repro method and mark it as critical.
the equipment is supposed to fall of as a statebased effect.
this is also true for auras, tho the fix for auras will be alot more complex, and im not reffering to the "protected against" bug which we have reason to not fix.
this is a rule that states
303.4b - If an Aura is enchanting an illegal object or player, the object it was attached to no longer exists, or the player it was attached to has left the game, the Aura is put into its owner's graveyard. (This is a state-based action. See Rule 704.) [CompRules 2009/07/08]
an aura that targets a creature that suddenly becomes a land and loses creature is supposed to fall off, an aura that targets a green creature that suddenly becomes black and loses green is supposed to fall off.
this rule is the same for both auras and equipment, but due to how we handle auras, only equipments will be fixed in this commit.
first, while hunting down easter eggs in the todo.dat i started trying to code some un-added equipment...noticed that thisforeach was exhabiting strange behavior.
what was happening was in the changed line, abilities.size() was a non-static number, so on most abilities, thisforeach was actually stopping prematurely. which explains why there was no test added for thisforeach, becuase it really wasnt working correctly.
what i did to correct the issue was set "i" as an unsigned int = abilities.size()..this way abilities being added don't stop it prematurely in the process of adding the matches.
2nd, this one is geared towards equipment only, it is a bug fix, not a "lets recode all equipment to use this"...i noticed that alot of equipment was suffering from double entries of activated abilities, the first entry was always targeted at the equipment and did nothing in most cases, the 2nd was always added during the getabilities call.
to fix, i added autoskill= ...what this line is used for it activated abilities or abilities that otherwise shouldnt exist when the card is not equipped, it is called on when getabilities function is called by equip() and for removel purposes.
Angelic Chorus
Lavaborn Muse
Pestilence
Living Artifact
Hypnotic Specter
there is test for each of these.
btw living artifact hard code was wrong, it was allowing you to remove counters at any phase, the soft code is actually correct. updated living artifact test to the correct version in next rev
also fixed a case where "thatmuch" was never set, i now also store the amount on the source of the trigger as well.
1st
had to revise the syntax for my "type:" variable it is now type:blah:location, using the pipe line created nasty returns in some combinations of abilities as the parser confused the pipeline in type: with the one in TC.
2nd
more of a correction then a bug fix, i noticed that upcost had instances where it could still trigger its effect in the draw phase becuase the condiational for the ability resolve was in the update, i left the class mostly untouched but move the resolve out of update and into a receiveEvent for upcost, which triggers only once after you declared that you are leaving the upkeep before draw step begins.
3rd
reworked the construction of multiability to only produce a single multiability with all the abilities in the string instead of nested multiabilities, it is considerabily easier to debug and creates 1/3 less objects for the engine to deal with in comparison to the old method.
also noticed issues with transforms parsing which i was able to easily correct by making it parse transforms in double brackets, transforms((effects))...updated primitive in next revision.
test suite passes, and varified that the fix doesn't effect how "&&" ability works with transforms.
added newability[whatever ability] to transforms classes.
this allows for transforms to also add activated or mtgabilities to cards it targets.
example Prismatic omen:
auto=lord(land|myBattlefield) transforms(plains forest mountain swamp island,newability[{t}:add{w}],newability[{t}:add{g}],newability[{t}:add{r}],newability[{t}:add{b}],newability[{t}:add{u}])
Issue: 573
lets say in the case of Isleback Spawn you want to see if ANY player has less then 20 cards.
auto=aslongas(*|library) 4/8 <21 compare
this will check if either you or your opponent has less then 20 cards. rather then adding the total cards in both libraries.
over the last weeks ive seen this cards code change atleast 3 times. this should be the final version for it and any other cards like it.
while i was at it reworked the aslongas class completely, i promised myself if another bug popped up with aslongas i would rewrite it. 20 hours later, we have an aslongas which does not care about when cards come or go.
aslongas should never have used the added/removed to determine the validity of its effect. i allow update to sort it out now in the update function of aslongas...also added a new function to it called sorterfunction tho it looks as it could be reduced in code i would appreciate that it remains as it is, simply because of the nightmare i went through fixing the previous 7 bugs or more reported for aslongas. the logic was far to jumbled up. this i hope is atleast cleaner and easier to understand for the future devs that might work on it.
note: all test passed, all manual testing also passed.
new while tag is used as follows.
[card]
name=Emperor Crocodile
auto=aslongas(other creature|myBattlefield) all(this) sacrifice while <1
text=When you control no other creatures, sacrifice Emperor Crocodile.
mana={3}{G}
type=Creature
subtype=Crocodile
power=5
toughness=5
[/card]
this will denote that the ability is NOT a oneshot ability and should remain effective for the entire time the card is in the field.
Issue: 613
i was not 100% successful in getting the correct cost on altercost which reduced the amounts. however altercost which increased the amounts are now clean code. so the reducers are still using a dirty method of putting the card from the hand back into the hand to get the correct amounts.
the issue i ran into is how to get the correct amount in this situation.
target cost {5}
have 3 reducers that - {2}
thats {1} of overkill reduce...
heres the issue. now remove all the reducers from play. the cost returns to {6} instead of 5.
you would think, will have it track the over kill. which leads to another. have the 3rd card which would contain the overkill removed first, i factor the overkill and increase the amount by what was reduced, but that would not be correct. since the reduce was {2} the increase of removing the overkill card should increase the targets cost by {2} not the amount it actually reduced. as you can see, it is extremely complex. so for now im leaving it dirty, but removing the resetcost code.

enjoy.....
-fix for issue 604 (Land play limitation should not apply in all cases)
-- this adds a "castMehod" variable to MTGCardInstance. IF this variable is 0, the card was not "cast" (or for lands, "put into play" as part of the lands rule), but "added" to the battlefield with some other effect. On the other hand, if this variable is set, it means the card was cast
-- as we discussed, I did not touch the "alternateCostPaid" variable, as I'm still not really sure these two concepts are actually the same
- fixed issue 595 (MaxCast not working). Root cause was the stupidest typo ever in the code (maxCost instead of maxCast...)
- fixed an issue with Storm mentioned by zethfox (was counting only spells played by current player)
- Moved "max lands per turn" rule outside of the code (yay!) Please be sure to update your Rules folder!
* getCardByName seemed to have a initialization error if you tried to use it before the entire game loaded. The cache would
throw an exception if you tried to use find and it was empty. I put a guard around it to avoid this issue.
* refactored Zeth's "toggledifficuly" feature to be stored in meta data. http://code.google.com/p/wagic/source/detail?r=3106
-- This is slightly modified as it forces a 1 for 1 swap of cards that are specified.
from the example given this is how it seemed to be used anyways.
-- since all the information is stored in the meta data, there's no need to alter the deck's
definition.
- deprecated the following keywords (see list below for new usage)
-- cantcreaturecast => auto=maxCast(creature)0
-- cantspellcast => auto=maxCast(*)0
-- onlyonecast => auto=maxCast(*)1
-- bothcantcast => auto=maxCast(*)0 auto=maxCast(*)0 opponent
-- bothnocreature => auto=maxCast(creature)0 auto=maxCast(creature)0 opponent
-- oneboth => auto=maxCast(*)1 auto=maxCast(*)1 opponent
Strangely enough, I couldn't find most of these keywords in mtg.txt?
I also removed variables such as "spellCastedThisTurn" and stuff like that... now if you want to know how many spells were cast in one turn by a given player, use player->game->stack->seenThisTurn("*").
seenThisTurn can take a string representing a TargetChooser, or better, a TargetChooser.
I can't guarantee I didn't break anything, but the test suite passes and the AI seems to run ok
- added maxCast and maxPlay abilities, this deprecates the following abilities: nospells,nocreatures,onlyonespell,land
I usually don't like to deprecate abilities, but the existing ones, despite having easy to remember names, were really not flexible enough.
If you want to use these old keywords, instead use:
-- nospells => maxCast(*)0
-- onlyOneSpell => maxCast(*)1
--nocreatures => maxCast(creature)0
--land:1 => maxplay(land)+1
note maxPlay and maxCast. They follow similar rules, but maxPlay monitors the number of cards that are going on the Battlefield, while maxCast monitors the stack. In most cases, maxCast should be the one to use, but lands are a special case because they go directly to play.
I unfortunately cannot guarantee I didn't break anything, especially in the AI, but the test suite passes ,and I added a few additional tests yesterday and today, to feel more confident about the change.
next step is removing the creatures keywords that do the same kind of thing (cantcast, etc...) and replace them with maxCast
- replaced variables canPutLandsIntoPlay and landsPlayerCanStillPlay with a PlayRestrictions class.
- Added seenThisTurn(TargetChooser * tc) in MTGGameZones, which allows to count how many cards matching a targetChooser have been in a given zone in the current turn. With minor work, this can probably be reused by the ability parser for some cards that need to count how many **** where played or put on the stack during a turn.
-- for example player->game->stack->seenThisTurn([put a TypeTargetChooser("creature") here]) would give you the number of creature spells cast by the player this turn.
- This is the first step of a refactor that aims at removing all the adhoc variables for "cant cast". I plan to get rid of the following variables in Player.h (and the associated code, which hopefully will become smaller):
int castedspellsthisturn;
bool onlyonecast;
int castcount;
bool nocreatureinstant;
bool nospellinstant;
bool onlyoneinstant;
bool castrestrictedcreature;
bool castrestrictedspell;
bool onlyoneboth;
bool bothrestrictedspell;
bool bothrestrictedcreature;
They will be replaced by the PlayRestrictions system, and hopefully I'll have time to update the parser to make this more generic as well.
My initial goal with this change was to move the limit of 1 land per turn outside of the code, and make it an external rule in Rules/mtg.txt. I have yet to do it.
