Effect.SetRange

Signature

Effect.SetRange(Effect e, int range) -> void

Description

Sets the location range where e applies or can be activated. This is the handler's active location, not the affected-card range. Continuous field effects usually pair it with Effect.SetTargetRange.

How To Use It

Use this to say where the effect itself is active or can be activated from.

e1:SetType(EFFECT_TYPE_FIELD)
e1:SetCode(EFFECT_UPDATE_ATTACK)
e1:SetRange(LOCATION_SZONE)
e1:SetTargetRange(LOCATION_MZONE,0)

SetRange is the handler's location. SetTargetRange is the affected side or destination range. Continuous effects commonly need both.
