Witch's Strike's timing

[NaimSantos]

• [ ] Witch's Strike: In the chain in which your card's/effect's activation was negated (fulfilling the condition for Witch's Strike), the Chain Link 1 effect Normal Summons a monster (in this test puzzle, it's the effect of Yosenju Kama 1). The activation timing for Witch's Strike is in the summon negation window and not in the summon response window (EVENT_SUMMON, not EVENT_SUMMON_SUCCESS), and as a result the monster that was summoned is not considered to be on the field yet and so is not destroyed. You can see that the Spell does not gain any counters and you cannot activate Torrential Tribute (because it's too early). Tried adding and not Duel.CheckEvent(EVENT_SUMMON) in the condition and/or target function of Witch's Strike but it made it so the card could not be activated at all in that scenario.

Does Witch's Strike have proper core support now, or is it still using a workaround from Percy?

[NaimSantos]

It has already proper support, But i tested both our version and fluo's version of the script and the interaction is wrong in both, with and without the suggested and not Duel.CheckEvent(EVENT_SUMMON).

[AlphaKretin]

As a suggestion, perhaps in Witch's Strike's normal condition, when it detects a negated summon, it needs to set a flag (which resets at an appropriate time) instead of activating, and then it has a trigger effect for the correct timing event, with a condition of having that flag set.

Ruling/scenario that might be relevant, to make sure that Witch's Strike works correctly in general when it comes to such a scenario.

Player A CL1 "Yosenju Kama 1" Player B CL2 "Solemn Strike" Player A CL3 "Solemn Judgment" Chain resolves, player B has "Cosmic Blazar Dragon", "Horn of Heaven" and "Witch's Strike".

1. If player B uses "Horn of Heaven", they can activate "Witch's Strike" after "Horn of Heaven" resolves.
2. If player B uses "Cosmic Blazar Dragon", they cannot chain "Witch's Strike", but they can activate it immediately after the chain resolves.
3. If player B does not negate the summon, they can use "Witch's Strike" in response to it ("Bottomless Trap Hole" timing).

I've added a puzzle based on the above scenario as "Test 60-2" in https://github.com/kevinlul/edopro-config/commit/a9a2eea3c817b7d44d8ba52fe6b21f1998ac81f7

Is this fluo change related? https://github.com/Fluorohydride/ygopro-core/commit/7f2b6ccb142667b4ff19ca267221a582ec4be603

[kevinlul]

Puzzle 60-2 results in a game crash when Horn of Heaven is activated by the AI. Incorrect interaction remains in puzzle 60.

[kevinlul]

The incorrect interaction in puzzle 60 also exists in other simulators. The 60-2 game crash does not exist in other simulators. @edo9300

[AlphaKretin]

After importing the fix from FH, the following happened in puzzle 60, which I think is now correct: Normal Summon Kama 1, activate Kama 1 effect. Chain Vampire Domination, Chain Yosenju's Secret Move. Move resolves, negating Domination, allowing 1 to resolve. Yosen Training Grounds gains a counter, Torrential Tribute can activate but I pass, Witch's Strike can activate.

[AlphaKretin]

The crash in 60-2 still exists, which makes it impossible to test the other scenarios listed.

[kevinlul]

The crash occurs in the exact same place as in issue #38 (https://github.com/kevinlul/edopro-script/issues/38#issuecomment-591228569) with SelectUnselect. Since this is not in other simulators, it's an effect of our ocgcore implementation then @edo9300

[kevinlul]

SIMPLE_AI Horn of Heaven crash fixed with edo9300/ygopro-core@56cb13e8435c74f8721de0a6692374875f87caa4

Regarding the three scenarios now for 60-2 in TEST_MODE, 1 and 3 are resolved. For 2, you are allowed to chain Witch's Strike to Cosmic Blazar, contrary to what @pyrQ has written.

[kevinlul]

To reiterate, @edo9300 , the only incorrect interaction occurs in this [puzzle 60-2] for the second interaction that @pyrQ described. In the puzzle, you are allowed to activate Witch's Strike at that timing, which is illegal.
