Effect.SetProperty

Signature

Effect.SetProperty(Effect e, int prop1, [int prop2]) -> void

Description

Sets e's property flags. prop1 holds the normal effect property flags; prop2 is used for the second property word when needed. Internal flags are preserved when prop1 is replaced. Learner-facing flags include EFFECT_FLAG_CARD_TARGET for official targets, EFFECT_FLAG_DAMAGE_STEP and EFFECT_FLAG_DAMAGE_CAL for Damage Step timing, and EFFECT_FLAG_PLAYER_TARGET for effects that apply to players.

How To Use It

Use SetProperty for flags that change targeting, timing, visibility, and activation rules.

For targeting effects, EFFECT_FLAG_CARD_TARGET should be paired with Duel.SelectTarget in the Target callback:

e1:SetProperty(EFFECT_FLAG_CARD_TARGET)
e1:SetTarget(s.target)

Other common flags include EFFECT_FLAG_DELAY for missed-timing-sensitive triggers, EFFECT_FLAG_DAMAGE_STEP for effects that can activate in the Damage Step, and EFFECT_FLAG_CANNOT_DISABLE for rules or equip limits that should not be negated normally.
