example:
[card]
name=AEther Burst
target=<plusonetype:AEther Burst:graveyard>creature|battlefield
auto=moveto(ownerhand)
text=Return up to X target creatures to their owners' hands, where X is one plus the number of cards named AEther Burst in all graveyards as you cast AEther Burst.
mana={1}{U}
type=Instant
[/card]
[card]
name=Vitalizing Cascade
auto=life:Xplusthree
text=You gain X plus 3 life.
mana={X}{G}{W}
type=Instant
[/card]
example usage:
auto=life:thriceX
auto=@damaged(player):life:twicethatmuch
auto=life:twicetype:creature:mybattlefield
so to code cards like Debt to the Deathless
[card]
name=Debt to the Deathless
auto=@lifeloss(opponent):life:thatmuch controller
auto=life:-twiceX opponent
text=Each opponent loses two times X life. You gain life equal to the life lost this way.
mana={X}{W}{W}{B}{B}
type=Sorcery
[/card]
opponentpoolsave(
mypoolsave(
ex:Upwelling
added a tag for mana, doesntempty
add{g}{g}{g} doesntempty
what this does is make THAT mana remain in the pool until end of turn.
ex:
Sakura-Tribe Springcaller
added
cantbeblockerof(this)<--this = the card who owns the ability.
cantbeblockerof(targetchooser) <--the target cant block anything targetable by this targetchooser.
spin engine and similar will use cantbeblockerof(this).
others were done with a workaround, which i hope will be updated soon.
"donothing"
this is to avoid using powerandtoughness 0/0 ability to mean "do nothing"
old code
[card]
name=Inquisition
target=player
auto=target(*|targetedpersonshand) 0/0
auto=foreach(*[white]|targetedpersonshand) damage:1 targetedplayer
text=Target player reveals his or her hand. Inquisition deals damage to that player equal to the number of white cards in his or her hand.
mana={2}{B}
type=Sorcery
[/card]
new code
[card]
name=Inquisition
target=player
auto=target(*|targetedpersonshand) donothing
auto=foreach(*[white]|targetedpersonshand) damage:1 targetedplayer
text=Target player reveals his or her hand. Inquisition deals damage to that player equal to the number of white cards in his or her hand.
mana={2}{B}
type=Sorcery
[/card]
auto=choice damage:1 target(creature) restriction{type(creature[blue])~morethan~1}
this choice menu will only appear is there is more than one blue creature inplay
auto=replacedraw choice damage:2
auto=replacedraw choice draw:2 noreplace
notice noreplace exempts the draw from sending a draw event. draw events and drawn events are seperate events.
added dredge and it's rules.
[card]
name=Dakmor Salvage
auto=tap
auto={t}:add{b}
dredge=dredge(2)
text=Dakmor Salvage enters the battlefield tapped. -- {T}: Add {B} to your mana pool. -- Dredge 2 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly two cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)
type=Land
[/card]
Added variable "controllerturn", "opponentturn" -> returns integer value if its your turn then 1 if not then 0.
ex. use
restriction=during my turn
otherrestriction=during opponent turn
auto=this(variable{controllerturn}) lord(creature|mybattlefield) 8/0
auto=this(variable{opponentturn}) lord(creature|mybattlefield) 0/8
this should allow players to code cards with the detain ability of rtr correctly, as well as a handful of similar cards in the unsupported text.
detain is coded
auto={1}{t}:target(creature|opponentBattlefield) transforms((Detained,newability[cantattack],newability[cantblock],newability[noactivatedability])) uynt
enjoy
format is as follows
HINT#combo hold(blah|myhand)^until(blah|mygraveyard)^until(blah|opponentshand)^restriction{type(creature|mybattlefield)~morethan~2}^cast(blah) targeting(blah|mygraveyard)^totalmananneeded({g}{g}{r}{u}{2})
the ai can be told to hold more then one card, until as many condiations as you want are met, until( is a TC and can basically be used in a fasion of saying "hold arbor elf until you have a lord of atlantas in play and a gaint growth in you hand"
once the condiations are met you can later tell it to cast(gaint growth) targeting(arbor elf[fresh]|mybattlefield)...
I also included the whole of the games restrictions system...
so you can get really really creative with this so far.
the next thing I will do is ability targeting and card favoring.
it requires an update to your mtg rules txt...
the coding is as follows
[card]
name=Arbor Elf
mana={g}
auto=soulbond 1/3
auto=soulbond {t}:add{g}
abilities=soulbond
type=Creature
subtype=Elf Druid
power=1
toughness=1
[/card]
auto=soulbond *any ability supported by wagic*
abilities=soulbond
the above arbor elf gives itself and its soulbond creature a 1/3 bonus and the ability to tap for green mana.
{x:black}
{x:color}
creating a snapshot of a card instance in garbage for stored cards, the issue with previous version was it was using base model value instead of what the storedcard was actually at the time it was in battlefield. example, animal boneyard test was coming up 1 toughness short becuase the creature storedcard pointed to was sent to graveyard for the sacrifice.
changed myStored TargetChooser to use storedSourceCard instead, as this is supposed to point to the actual card and not a snapshot.
adjusted the way cardsacrificed events were sent
added a ability which is a way to tell a targeted player, yourself, or opponent to do a set of abilities.
ability$! EFFECT _ EFFECT !$ WHO
the idea here is that the abilities are being added to the targeted players game...so
target(player) ability$!target(<2>*|myhand) reject!$ targetedplayer
this line tells the player to discard 2 cards...
you can also use it without targeting by using WHO words..
controller, owner, targetcontroller, opponent, targetedplayer
this ability defualts to opponent.
cards coming soon...
Curse of Oblivion moved back to unsupported.
added support for targeting a zone by targeting a player...
any time you have targeted a player, you can access items in thier zones by using
targetedpersonsZONE
targetedpersonsbattlefield for example...
added "targetedplayer" as a targetchooser and who.
added "mycurses" targetchooser.
added "targetedcurses" word variable.
counter{}
so you can get a count of a certain counter on a card
the next consist of parts using the same targetchooser method as type:
power:
toughness:
convertedcost:
followed by ---
highest:
lowest:
followed by targetchooser
blah:mybattlefield
so if i want highest converted cost of creatures i control..
convertedcost:highest:creature:mybattlefield
also added an internal ability to reuse and display flying text with a string passed to it.
moverandom(creature[green]) from(mygraveyard) to(opponentbattlefield)
example card
[card]
name=Tariel, Reckoner of Souls
auto={t}:moverandom(creature) from(opponentgraveyard) to(mybattlefield)
mana={4}{W}{B}{R}
abilities=Flying,vigilance
type=Legendary Creature
subtype=Angel
power=4
toughness=7
text=Flying, vigilance {T}: Choose a creature card at random from target opponent's graveyard. Put that card onto the battlefield under your control.
[/card]
which tells the ai not to use the targetible cards as attackers, this can be card names, and CD modes.
modified the way ai handles multikicker. it will not be casting 1/1 joragas anymore :D
made WParsedInt ignore "+" signs....
added a new affinity ability...autohand=affinity(creature[vampire]|mygraveyard) ....
this is essentially affinity for creatures in your grave.
added supkeyword to clone clone addtype(zombie)....it adds the type listed to the cards types on clone...
reparse PT bonus on resolve.
reworked bushido, it should now work correctly...aside from that it now excepts word variables...fumiko is now bushido(type:creature[attacking]:battlefield/type:creature[attacking]:battlefield)
added a keyword to access acontrolsteal..the keyword is "steal"
auto=ueot steal target(creature)
reworked persist to handle undying..added the new counter handling rules intruduced by wotc in ISD
added a vector cardsAbilities to mtgcardinstance...this keeps the abilities added to the game for a card to use stored where we can easly alter or remove them.
added an automatic increase to geteff return if the ability is a putinplay ability.
finished coding support for flip and double sided cards, though viewing the "other side" is still not possible yet.
the ability follows the mtg rules.
the ability syntax is flip(card name)...a card can flip into any other card by name...even flip into itself.
added a "canPay() call for Ninja cost...to prevent it from coming up in a menu unless you're in blockers....
added 3 new restriction types that work very similar to type(
thisturn(tc)~morethan~2
lastturn(tc)~lessthan~thisturn(tc)
compare(wordvarible)~equalto~compare(wordvarible)
these are pretty self explanitory.
moved "&&" ability parsing below "this(" allowing "this(" to grant abilities now which contain &&...enclave egologist bug is fixed by this.
fixed an issue with combatspirit link for some reason the way i was doing the bool was not always working.
took care of the todo for AProtectionFrom...you can now give a protection from(blah) in a instant or ueot ability.
added altho very limited right now a "targetedplayer" tc word. i hope to increase this with time.
as always my sidekick doc already has some cards coded for this and test will follow the addition of the cards.
