When this card is sent to the Graveyard; destroy 1 monster on the Field.

I copied Man-Eater Bug code into this but when it goes to the Graveyard, It tries to activate but nothing happens.

Where did I go wrong?


--Skeleton Warrior - DeeKay
function c10550000.initial_effect(c)
--to grave
local e1=Effect.CreateEffect(c)
e1:SetDescription(aux.Stringid(10550000,0))
e1:SetCategory(CATEGORY_DESTROY)
e1:SetType(EFFECT_TYPE_SINGLE+EFFECT_TYPE_TRIGGER_F)
e1:SetCode(EVENT_TO_GRAVE)
e1:SetOperation(c10550000.operation)
c:RegisterEffect(e1)
end
function c10550000.target(e,tp,eg,ep,ev,re,r,rp,chk,chkc)
if chkc then return chkc:IsLocation(LOCATION_MZONE) and chkc:IsDestructable() end
if chk==0 then return true end
Duel.Hint(HINT_SELECTMSG,tp,HINTMSG_DESTROY)
local g=Duel.SelectTarget(tp,Card.IsDestructable,tp,LOCATION_MZONE,LOCATION_MZONE,1,1,nil)
Duel.SetOperationInfo(0,CATEGORY_DESTROY,g,g:GetCount(),0,0)
end
function c10550000.operation(e,tp,eg,ep,ev,re,r,rp)
local tc=Duel.GetFirstTarget()
if tc and tc:IsRelateToEffect(e) then
Duel.Destroy(tc,REASON_EFFECT)
end
end

You forgot to assign the target function to the effect with e1:SetTarget here. Because of that, the operation is called right away and doesn't produce any results because no target has been selected, leading to the described behavior.

I added e1:SetTarget(c10550000.destg) to the script & it gave me an error with that line.  What did I do wrong?

Isn't the function called c10550000.target and not .destg? Unless you changed it since the initial post.

Thanks, that works! (I don't know how to code. I just copy & paste & hope it works! LOL)

lol at least you are willing to learn unlike some other person on the forum. XD

Yup, I started with basic stuff like this too  good times. I'm at 300+ scripted cards right now, but I did redo like 50 because they were too basic. Anyways I'll give you rep points cause it's nice to see people actually try instead of just ask requests without trying anything first, not that there's been many people here (just that one guy, I forget his name. I think his location mentions something about living under a bridge)
