Hey SapphireSquid10,

Thanks for your questions! Here's a couple workarounds for each:

1. While there isn't a way to prevent the visual of the cards flying to the Discard Zone, you can try Removing cards on play via Card Actions which will ensure they don't move to the Discard Zone and instead are removed in Hand. You can Add the same Card to the Discard Zone as part of that set of Card Actions and players will be none the wiser. Make sure to change the coordinates of the Temp Zone which is where the Card moves to after it is played before it moves to any other Zone.

2. This part is a little bit harder and would require editing the plugin. We can offer an option in a future update that lets you choose the priority of Cards vs Pictures, but right now Cards will always appear above the Pictures layer (has to do with the fact that the Cards are on the Window layer).

Let us know if this workaround does the trick or if it is still insufficient. We can continue to troubleshoot until we find a solution.

Thanks,

Hello KBGaming&&Music,

You can dynamically alter Skill Costs via either plugins like YEP Skill Core or our Independent Card Variables plugin.

If you are using YEP Skill Core, you can use the <Custom MP Cost> Notetag in order to have it such that a particular Actor gets to cast this Skill for free.

<Custom MP Cost>
if(user.actorId() == 2)
{
  cost = 0;
}
</Custom MP Cost>

If you would like this to work at the Skill Type level then you might need to use YEP Buff States Core and have a check similar to this on the State itself when the user goes to select the Skill in the menu (which is the CGC equivalent of hovering over the card in Hand).

If you are using Independent Card Variables, you can create a Variable for the card instance and set it to 0, then assign it to the MP Cost.

<Card Passives>
Var(0) init 0
</Card Passives>

<MP cost = var(0)>

The MP Cost will change if you change the value of the Variable via another Card Action, Damage Formula or Script Call.

The second request is a little easier but you'll have to include it in the Card Actions Notetag of each Card. You can check for the user's Actor ID in an if statement and if they match then have the Card move to the Deck/Hand after play and skip to a Label at the End. If not, then it will move to Discard/Exile as the Card normally does.

<Card Actions>
//Do Card Actions Here ...
If (user.actorId() == 2)
Move this to Deck
If (user.actorId() == 2)
Jump to End
Move this to Discard
Label End
</Card Actions>

There is currently no way to bind a Card Action like Discard or Remove to a Zone destination so it will need to be done manually. This will be a feature introduced in a future update.

Hope this helps. Let us know if there is more we can do.

Thanks,

Hey Arcanamoon, if you are using MV then YEP Message Eval Text is your best bet. Use the evalText<<>> Notetag in the Skill Description and you will be able to show formulas. You can have it pull the stats of the user and show the damage formula based on that :)

Hello Gaji666,

1. You are on the right track. You need to make this check in the Damage Formula. It might look something like this:

var dmg = 10; if(!a._firstFlag){ dmg += 50; a._firstFlag == true;} ; dmg

In the above example, the Card's base DMG is 10, but if it is played first, it deals +50 DMG and then sets the first flag to true so no other cards can benefit from this effect this turn. Remember to set user._firstFlag to false in the End Turn Button Skill so that it can be available next turn.

2. Not sure I understand this effect. You are trying to deal Damage to the card itself (not currently possible in CGC) or are you trying to buff the DMG on the next type of Card played this turn?

Thanks,

thanks to your demo. I solved this problem by replacing "Agility" with "agility"
