RSN_Characteristics_Clear

This function is used by the Characteristics Manager to clear all the fake characteristics on all cards in all zones. There should be no need for this function to be used by anything else (even the Ability Managers don't need this function).

Parameters: None.

Returns: None.

Usage Example:

<STATIC_ABILITY>
	<CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="0">
		RSN_Characteristics_Clear()
	</CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
</STATIC_ABILITY>

RSN_Characteristics_CreateManagers

This function is used to create the characteristic and ability managers to handle the characteristic functions.

Parameters:

• ... - This is a comma delimited list of token strings to create.

Returns: None.

Usage Examples:

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1" active_zone="ZONE_LIBRARY">
	<TRIGGER value="BEGINNING_OF_STEP">
		return ((MTG():GetStep() == STEP_UPKEEP) and (MTG():GetTurnNumber() == 0))
	</TRIGGER>
	<RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
		RSN_Characteristics_CreateManagers()
	</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

RSN_Characteristics_CreateManagers( "TOKEN_MY_ABILITY_MANAGER" )

RSN_Characteristics_CreateManagers( "TOKEN_MY_ABILITY_MANAGER", "TOKEN_ANOTHER_MANAGER", "TOKEN_YET_ANOTHER_MANAGER" )

RSN_Characteristics_Get

This function returns true or false as to whether the characteristic is set or not.

Parameters:

• oCard - Card object to check the characteristic on.
• nCharacteristic - The fake characteristic to check (numeric).

Returns:

• true - Characteristic is set on card.
• false - All other cases.

Usage Example:

if (RSN_Characteristics_Get( TriggerObject(), RSN_CHARACTERISTIC_UNDYING )) then
	-- Do something
end

RSN_Characteristics_GetInt

This function will return the actual integer used to set a characteristic.

Parameters:

• oCard - Card Object to check for the characteristic value.
• nCharacteristic - The fake characteristic to check (numeric).

Returns:

• 0 - Default return in case characteristic is not set or was set as 0 or false.
• 1 - Characteristic was set to 1 or true.
• Integer - Characteristic was set to this value.

Usage Example:

local nUndying = RSN_Characteristics_GetInt( EffectSource(), RSN_CHARACTERISTIC_UNDYING )

RSN_Characteristics_Set

This function is used to set a fake characteristic onto a card.

Parameters:

• oCard - Card Object to set the fake characteristic on.
• nCharacteristic - The fake characteristic to set (numeric).
• bSet - Either a boolean (true/false) or an integer (0 or greater) as to whether the characteristic should be set (false or 0 clears).

Returns: None.

Usage Example:

<STATIC_ABILITY resource_id="1">
	<LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[Undying]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
	<CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6">
		RSN_Characteristics_Set( EffectSource(), RSN_CHARACTERISTIC_UNDYING, 1 )
