I've found it! It's not quite that, it's a broadcast specifically set to clear the player's statuses… which means I'll have to take the long way making the second ability lol

Oh noo hahaha

It shouldn't be that much of a problem rewriting the script to also clear monster statuses though. If you need help with anything tho let me know!

I have a… temporary solution

Help would be appreciated as I have no idea where to even find the script that clears the player's statuses, but the card I created works, in a roundabout way, as intended

In other news I've got almost all the Skills created now so I'll probably end up sharing the mod some time soon

You might still be able to code it as a miscellaneous effect.

I tried adding a status effect, but it did not work. I have added a few other status effects, but they all worked. Any ideas what could be wrong with it?

glad to hear

Theres a list in the project called Seeds_Faulty. What is it for?

I'm pretty sure it's for seeds that result in a glitch where all cards gained on level-up are the same each time. (There might be a similar bug with the shop, but it's not as though I've recently stuck around to check.)

Cool! I looked at some of those seeds

going shop (in a glitch seed) crashes monster world

Does anyone know where the code for healing at an inn is?

I still don't really understand how the adding of cards works thou.

i came here looking for where i put the card propertys but i cant find it does anyone know where to look for it

how do i add cards to the loot table (i feel like your i bit to breef with how to add new abilitys to the game)

That's true, the guide to adding abilities is absolutely not finished!

Here's how you add an ability to the loot table:

In the “Loop&Startup” Sprite, there's a custom block called “Reset Loot/Events/Deck”.
In there, you can probably already see that I ordered the cards being added to the loot tables and the player starting deck.
You can just copy one of the blocks and change the name of the card being added to match the card ID of the card you made.

I'll see - maybe I can find the time today to work on the ability modding guide a little :>

Alright, I added a guide on how to add Abilities to the game! I hope it helps!

This is reminding me I need to get back to my own mod… going to put off sharing it until I've got the full set of Abilities and have given them all a once-over to make sure they're at least a little bit balanced. There's only a little bit left to do, though there'll be a couple of particularly thorny Auras to figure out.

I'm excited for it.

It'll probably be out soon—I've only got five more Auras to add, most of which are pretty straightforward, and then a couple of Skills (in a similar vein to Shadow Strike) that will probably be more difficult to incorporate. After that it's just balancing and character art.

Oh wait could I get an explanation of how Shadow Strike works and how I could apply it to a different type of card? Also any advice on a card that, similarly, copies a random Ability of any character.

In the meantime I will be editing the code of every single time a status effect is applied to the player to incorporate one of the last two Auras; wish me luck

Shadow Strike is a big hardcoded effect that consists of the following scripts:

In the Stage Sprite, if you scroll down to the scripts that update the attack effect texts, there's an if else script checking whether the variable “Script_LastAttackPlayedThisTurn” is 0 or not. Here, the game sets the effect text of Shadow Strike, as well as its targeting type.

To actually change what Shadow Strike does, you have to go into the “Cards” Sprite and look for the custom block “Card_WhenPlayed (CardID)”.
Close to the bottom of that script, there's the following part:



The first script at the top (that checks for CardID A024) changes the ActivatedCardID to that of the last Attack played.
Afterwards, the script sets the last Attack played variable to the one you just played (if it wasn't CardID A024, because Shadow Strike copying itself would be silly).

If you want to do the same thing for, say, Auras, you'd have to make a new variable that checks for the last aura you played and set it up exactly like this.

So the Ability effect is just a random Attack, whenever you play it? In that case, you'd probably want a similar script to the one for Shadow Strike, where (inside the “Card_WhenPlayed (CardID)” custom block, the game checks for the CardID of your new Ability and sets the Variable “Script_ActivatedCardID” to that of a random Attack in the Attack Loot List.

Ah yes, it might be best to just make a custom block that changes the status effect and use that for everything. It's one of the first things I did in Taranga and I can't believe I didn't already do it in the Preview.

In Taranga, it looks like this:


Hope this helped! I'm excited for the mod!
