for cards with the line or options "do/pay MANA or this card enters the battlefield tapped"
simply change it to tap(noevent)
it will simulate the card being placed into play already tapped.
lots of changes, many bug fixes,
first
added auto=count(targetchooser)
and countedamount wparsed int
they work together for cards where it is difficult to get working without knowing in advance how many we had ie: exile blah creatures, for each creature you exiled do effect.
auto=count(creature|mybattlefield)
auto=moveto(exile)
auto=draw:countedamount
it takes into account token creatures, which our old methods did not.
second, added "freeze" which is a "frozen" that automatically taps your target for you, for use when nesting or whenever needed where it was difficult to nest the ability with tap included.
added devotion for "iroas"
added reveal:x and scry x
reveal contains optionone/optiononeend ; optiontwo/optiontwoend ; repeat; afterrevealed/afterrevealed end.
this ability has heavy use of targetListIsSet(<amount>) and upto:amount, you MUST be certain that all cards being revealed have an action that removes them from reveal either in the first, second, or 3rd ability.
there are over 300 examples in the new card code, the ability is VERY easy to understand.
scry contains automatic put on top, put on bottom, then scrycore/scrycoreend which is an ability to fire.
it also contains keywords, dontshow which is nested in scrycore, scry reveals, puts on top or bottom, then reveal AGAIN, and does an effect, dontshow eliminates the 2nd revealing.
is also contains "delayed" keyword, which delays the ability until AFTER the core fires.
added bestow. update rules mtg.txt!!!!
examples are in primitives, every bestow card was supported.
added a new lord based on varibles and restrictions
while(restriction{morbid})
while(varible:blah)
this simplifies and expands on this(, allowing you to even use while(cantarget together and check if a card is targetable by the variable. examples are in primitives
added token(by card name)
auto=token(Eldrazi Scion)
will search primitives and card dats for this card and give it to you as a token.
valid card dat info is still required.
added variable delirium
added restriction madnessplayed to allow checking if the card was played with madness.
added restriction "geared" for checking if a card has equipment on it.
added abilities words
skulk
menace <--cant be blocked except by 2 or more, if you dont block it with 2 or more we automatically unassign the single blocker and the creature is considered not blocked.
nosolo <--cant attack alone
mustblock <---if you dont assign as a blocker, we assign automatically the first thing it can block legally.
changed iscolorless back to "colorless"
enjoy, cards coming soon, theyre coded but im debating on not alpha sorting, cards being added this patch 965 uniques.
there is a section of the commit which was just VS2016 normalizing line ends, sorry if it makes it a cluster mess.
TODO: Morph and Kicker... Morph can be done but how to implement the
increased total cost with kicker? multi kicker? manual kicker??? Count
the mana pool if you can pay the cost+kicker if less than 3 increase
it???
Added trigger restriction for "@trigger(player)
restriction{opponenttrigger/controllertrigger}"
Restriction for:
@drawn
@damaged(combat and noncombat)
@lifed/lifeloss
Why?
When using @drawn trigger like Underworld Dreams
auto=@drawn(opponent):life:-1 opponent
If you take control of Underworld Dreams from an opponent, the
targetchooser for "opponent" is not updated and you are still the
opponent of Underworld Dreams even you take control of it(It is right if
you are the chosen opponent from cards like Black Vise, The Rack, etc...
The chosen opponent never changes. But cards that don't define a chosen
player an "opponent" like Underworld Dreams when an exchanged control
happens, the opponent of the card is the opponent of the one who
controls the card). :P
The new correct code for Underworld Dreams:
auto=@drawn(player) restriction{opponenttrigger}:life:-1 opponent
if activating ability, playing a land or casting sorcery spell at
sorcery level(timing restriction), if the stack is not empty, don't
allow it. Modified the life state check, if any of the players would
lose the game, allow the gamestateeffects to check... added
reduceto:value for ali from cairo...
When a creature is damaged and has critical life, PT turns to
red(critical life is 2 and below), if a card has a powered down status
like from -1/-1 counter, the PT turns to thistle, if powered up above 4,
the PT turns into yellow, default is white. legendary eldrazi pt is
violet. Token Indicator is T, and C for cards with copy abilities(so we
can differentiate them from originals), TC for both token and copy cat
cards.
This controls whether to update Power and Toughness if we are setting
base PT or not. If we are setting base PT update the CDA but it will not
be applied since we have an effect that sets PT to a default base. If
there are no effect that sets base PT, apply it on CDA using
current/updated PT. The buffs are not affected. Yeah...
This fixes the bug I introduced lst time. The damage was not taking into
account, but this time the damage reflects...
TODO/TOFOLLOW: update test and update all cards that uses CDA :)
added
"whenever a creature enters the battlefield you may pay {1}, if you do gain one life"
conditional may pay({cost}) effect
this version is a super type ability, and can only be used in certain combos.
to nest you will need to use it in its subtype pay[[{cost}]] effect
pay keyword can have sideeffects coded as follows
pay[[{1}]] life:1?life:-1
pay one mana and gain 1 life, if you dont then you lose one life. notice no space between the abilities and the question mark.
added castcard()
a method to cast a targeted card, this contains the following subkeywords which can be used in combinations
(normal)
(restricted)
(copied)
(noevent)
castcard(restricted copied noevent) for example will cast a card that is a copy or the spell without sending a cast event only when the spell is castable.
"normal" subkeyword cast the actual spell, not a copy.
extended the use of exiledeath to everyzone, any card going from any zone to graveyard is placed in exile if it has exiledeath.
limited swipe left to open hand only when hand is closed view.
"moveto(" can now be named.
i choose to use other cost instead of creating a brand new cost type.
otherrestriction determines if the card is the miracle for the turn.
[card]
name=Devastation Tide
auto=all(*[-land]) moveto(ownerhand)
other={1}{u} name(Miracle)
otherrestriction=miracle
text=Return all nonland permanents to their owners' hands. -- Miracle {1}{U} (You may cast this card for its miracle cost when you draw it if it's the first card you drew this turn.)
mana={3}{U}{U}
type=Sorcery
[/card]
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.
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]
paid(blah)
auto=if paid(alternative) then damage:3 target(creature)
auto=if paid(alternative) then life:10 target(player)
auto=ifnot paid(alternative) then damage:3 controller
auto=ifnot paid(alternative) then life:4 opponent
it can be used any place a restriction can be used.
rearranged the constants for the payment type keywords to match the order we int the alternatePayment array on a card, added keywords for the remaining payment types,
"notpaid",
"paidmana",
the 2 above pretain to paying the real manacost of a card
it checks the mana={1} cost line and is not joined to the other types.
"kicker",
"alternative",
"buyback",
"flashback",
"retrace",
"facedown",
"suspended"
note: all test pass in this revision.
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.
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.
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.
first somehow accidentally line 3616 mtgability.cpp removefromgame was adding an observer instead of removing it, this explains "abilities sometimes acting strangely or not being removed"...I'm surprised it didn't create memleaks or extremely visible side-effects...
2nd fixed a bug where triggered abilities would share a menu with activated abilities of a card when ever you had enough mana floating to pay an activated ability before the trigger resolved.
adjust the way ai calculates if it should use cards like wrath of god, though it is still open to using it at a random chance, i noticed that the method we use might not be the best.
an ability with an eff of 1 for example actually has a 10% chance of being choosen....
lets say rng rolls 3402
when you % this it simply takes the 2 last numbers making this roll 2...meaning that unless we assign no "random chance to do blah" the actual chance of ai using a stupid ability is 10%...I'm leaving that logic how it is tho I "unfactored"(?) it to make it easier to track the numbers, also added a debug trace to help see how often we hit "lottery chance" ...
fixed a minor crash from multiability trying to fetch menutext when no abilities existed in the vector anymore.
this patch introduces a new subkeyword for "may " which is syntax pay(manacost)
auto=may pay({w}) untap
this is to allow the card group that was coded using the activated ability loophole i described at the start. it works the same way as it did with the loophole only it is actually something we want to happen instead of a flaw in the engine...you float the mana same as before and when the may line is triggered it will check if payment can be made with exist mana if so then it displays the menutext for the ability, if that ability is choosen it then charges you the mana directly before activation.
this patch also include flip( ability, tho not intended originally for this version, I had previously had it finished and was polishing it right before I noticed the bugs above. since this keyword is not intended to add cards for this version, I wont go into massive details about it at this time.
