Lua scripting troubles

[lapinkoira]

I'm trying to add some cards to ygopro so my friend and I can play with them, but I'm having a little trouble coding them. All cards in the archetype I have made have certain in-built effects.

 

1. Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.

2.This card can be Special Summoned by banishing "Umbral Beast" (the archetype) monsters from your hand whose combined levels equal that of this card.

3.If this card is sent to the graveyard, banish it instead.

 

They also have a varying effect that starts

"If this card is banished, except by its own effect, you can..."

 

So help with that would also be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

I was trying, but it's hard to find matches for the effects.

[lapinkoira]

Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the coding for "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.", do you guys know what it is?

Have you tried looking in the codes of cards that have a Nomi condition; you might be able to find it.

Cards might include Chaos Sorcerer, BLS - Envoy. etc.

[lapinkoira]

Yeah I have, but the problem is the effect isn't in the game. I've tried taking the banishing  from hand from Infernoids, the combined levels clause from Aquamirror and I haven't even started on the other effects yet.

Did you watch the video, or read tutorials on their website?

There should be some codes that dictate the sort of effects you're aiming for.

[lapinkoira]

Yep, seen it. Helped a little, but didn't explain how to use any of the SetCodes.

I'm having a serious amount of problems with this scripting stuff.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with Dragon's banish effect. "If this card is banished, except by its own effect, you can inflict 200 points of damage for every "Umbral Beast" monster in your banished zone."

 

I can't think of any cards to copy the LUA from, so I came here. Thanks in advance.

I'd probably recommend that you and Necromaster set up a PM together and discuss what you need coded.

 

There are some cards that trigger when banished (such as Eclipse Wyvern in Graveyard), but yours needs to be done outside of the inherited banishing effect.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Just copy+paste the code from existing cards in the program that do similar things to what you did; but replace the card ID numbers with that of your own.

That's what a lot of us do.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Don't worry, a lot of us do.

Might also be attributed to Konami not having designed certain mechanics that we use in cards.

 

Also, try not to double post; it looks really unprofessional.

Hi, I have alot experience with coding custom cards for YGOPro.

How can I help you, exactly? Just write the effect and I try to code it.

He wants to code stuff in this thread, but YGOPro doesn't have cards that do exactly what he wants.

Don't looks impossible. Will give it a try this night or tomorrow.
