question about flip summons

[Nojrada]

So i decided to start making a rock deck, and the majority of the monster have an effect that starts with this: You can flip this card into face down defence position once per turn. When this card is flip summoned, ........ (and then an effect follows)

 

So i was wondering, if this face down card was attacked and lived, would it's effect activate then, or would it not count as a flip summon. And if so, if it would be destroyed, would it effect activate?

 

I'd love an answer. Thank you

You're not summoning it.

[Tronta]

there are two types of flipping:

flipping and flip summoning

 

here's a few examples of what trips what:

>>if the effect says "FLIP: etc etc" then it will activate when:

-you flip summon it

-it gets flipped by a card effect

-it gets attacked

 

>>if the effect says "when this card is flip summoned etc etc" then it will activate when:

-you flip summon it

 

>>if the effect says "when this card is flipped face up etc etc" then it will activate when:

-you flip summon it

-it gets flipped by a card effect

-it gets attacked

 

also, we have a topic for this.

What Tronta said. Note that the only difference between "FLIP:" and "When this card is flipped face-up," is that the latter still activates when flipped face-up by a card effect that explicitly states that FLIP Effects are not activated.
