Duel.NegateActivation

Signature

Duel.NegateActivation(int chainc) -> bool

Description

Attempts to negate the activation of a Chain Link and returns true only if the activation was successfully negated. Use it in a resolving negation operation after checking activation legality, commonly with Duel.IsChainNegatable. Gate follow-up actions such as destroy, banish, or send to the GY behind the boolean return. Use Duel.NegateEffect for "negate that effect" text where the activation itself is not negated.

How To Use It

Use this during resolution for effects that negate the activation of a Chain Link.

if Duel.NegateActivation(ev) then
    Duel.Destroy(rc,REASON_EFFECT)
end

Gate follow-up actions behind the boolean return. Use Duel.NegateEffect when the effect is negated but the activation itself is not.
