Duel.NegateEffect

Signature

Duel.NegateEffect(int chainc, [bool forced]) -> bool

Description

Attempts to negate the effect of a Chain Link without necessarily negating its activation, and returns true if the effect was successfully negated. Use this for text such as "negate that effect". The optional forced argument requests a forced disable. Use Duel.NegateActivation for activation negation and Duel.NegateSummon for Summon negation; those are different game events.

How To Use It

Use this during resolution for effects that negate the effect of a Chain Link without treating the activation as negated.

if Duel.NegateEffect(ev) then
    -- follow-up that requires the effect to be negated
end

The optional forced argument is passed to the core disable-chain check. Activation-negation cards should usually use Duel.NegateActivation instead.
