New to coding and can't quite get things to work...

[NobodySovereign]

I need help getting these stupid things to work... I thought I could get this done just by watching all the tutorial videos, but I've hit dead end after dead end, so I'm just going to put these here and hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

 

 

[spoiler= Ryusei Arariel]

 

Intended Effect: When this card is Normal Summoned: Excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, then you can Special Summon 1 excavated "Ryusei" monster, also shuffle the rest back into your Deck. Once per turn: You can draw a card, and if you do, this card cannot attack during your Battle Phase this turn.

 

Lua Code:

 

Ryusei Arariel

function c77766601.initial_effect©

--When Summoned, Excavate 5 Cards and Special Summon a Ryusei

local e1=Effect.CreateEffect©

e1:SetCategory(CATEGORY_SPECIAL_SUMMON)

e1:SetType(EFFECT_TYPE_TRIGGER_F)

e1:SetCode(EVENT_SUMMON)

e1:SetRange(LOCATION_MZONE)

e1:SetOperation(c77766601.operation)

c:RegisterEffect(e1)

end

function c62161698.filter(c,e,tp)

return c:IsSetCard(0x2CD) and c:IsCanBeSpecialSummoned(e,0,tp,false,false)

end

function c77766601.operation(e,c)

if Duel.GetFieldGroupCount(tp,LOCATION_DECK,0)==0 then return end

Duel.ConfirmDecktop(tp,5)

if Duel.GetLocationCount(tp,LOCATION_MZONE)<=0 then return end

local g=Duel.GetDecktopGroup(tp,5):Filter(c77766601.filter,nil,e,tp)

if g:GetCount()>0 and Duel.SelectYesNo(tp,aux.Stringid(77766601,0)) then

Duel.Hint(HINT_SELECTMSG,tp,HINTMSG_SPSUMMON)

local sg=g:Select(tp,1,1,nil)

Duel.SpecialSummon(sg,0,tp,tp,false,false,POS_FACEUP)

end

Duel.ShuffleDeck(tp)

end

I gave up on this one before I got to its second effect. I tried to take the effect from "Illusion Balloons" and tweak it to work properly, but nothing I've done has gotten it to work.

 

 

[spoiler=Ryusei Ferrum]

 

Intended Effect: You can discard this card: Add 1 "Ryusei" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your Hand. You can only use this effect of "Ryusei Ferrum" once per turn. While this Special Summoned card is face-up on the field: "Ryusei" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle.

 

Lua Code:

end

I quite literally took the two effects I needed (Melodious Aria for the indestructibility and Nekroz of Clausolus for the Spell/Trap pull) and pasted them in, renaming the numbers and sets to what they should be. I have no idea why they aren't working.

AGAIN, a simple copy-pasta job and it won't work. Is it something I'm doing wrong...? I've got the right software (at least I should, it's what the threads told me to get!) and nothing nothing NOTHING.

 

 

I am so super desperate that I stayed up 7 hours past when I initially planned on going to bed trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and I'm STILL nowhere closer to my goal. So any help at all would be dearly appreciate.

As for the first card use Sylvans as reference since they do some crazy sh't with excavation, i think Shroom is the name of the one who will do the trick. As for the draw effect use "Worm Zero"s third effect. And then just slap the "cannot attack thing".

 

For second card use "Thunder Dragon" + "Madolche Messengelato" just be sure to use the right parts. And you have to change the archetype code to your own instead of Madolches one, since you dont want to add Madolche cards, you want yours right?

 

And for Void Seer version be sure to use your own Arch codes, like for the first ones. Dunno which you picked. But thats the key when you do the arch of your own.

 

Keep up my brother and dont give up.
