Extending the editor
Creating new card effectsThe kit includes a collection of default card effects:
It is possible to create your own custom effects in a very convenient way and the editor will pick them up automatically without you having to write any additional code to do so and make them available in the effects dropwdown.
If you want to create a new effect, you will first need to decide if it is a player effect (i.e., it targets a player or group of players) or a card effect (i.e., it targets a card or group of cards). Let's take the increase player stat effect as a reference on player effects:
[PlayerTarget]
public class IncreasePlayerStatEffect : PlayerEffect
{
[PlayerStatField("Player stat")]
[Order(1)]
public int statId;
[ValueField("Value")]
[Order(2)]
public Value value;
[IntField("Duration")]
[Order(3)]
public int duration;
public override void Resolve(GameState state, PlayerInfo player)
{
var modifier = new Modifier(value.GetValue(state, player), duration);
player.stats[statId].AddModifier(modifier);
}
}
And the decrease card effect as a reference on card effects:
[CardTarget]
public class DecreaseCardStatEffect : CardStatEffect
{
[ValueField("Value")]
[Order(4)]
public Value value;
[IntField("Duration")]
[Order(5)]
public int duration;
public override void Resolve(GameState state, RuntimeCard card)
{
var modifier = new Modifier(-value.GetValue(state, card.ownerPlayer), duration);
card.stats[statId].AddModifier(modifier);
}
}
As you can see, there are several useful base classes for effects:
And several useful attributes for effect fields:
These attributes allow you to dynamically access the general settings you have defined for your game (like stats or zones) without writing any additional code. This is how the previous player effect looks like in the editor:
And this is how the previous card effect looks like in the editor:
The actual logic of the effects happens in the Resolve method, with the following signature for player effects:
public override void Resolve(GameState state, PlayerInfo player)
{
// ...
}
And the following signature for card effects:
public override void Resolve(GameState state, RuntimeCard card)
{
// ...
}
