-**Card Types**
+====== Card Types ======
+If you add the [[plugin-card-types|MYTH_CGC_CardTypes]] plugin to your project, you can specify one or more custom Types to each Card which give you access to a whole host of features that could be useful for a card game.
+===== Defining Types =====
+You can define Types in the plugin parameters of [[plugin-card-types|MYTH_CGC_CardTypes]]. Each Type must at least have a Name. It is optional to draw the Name on the Card, have a default Icon and have a Card Base that corresponds to it.

+Once a custom Type has been defined, it can be given to Skills to give their Cards some default properties and be referenced in Card Actions.
+===== Skills/Items =====
+|  **<Card Type: type_name>**  | Replace "type_name" with the name of the Card Type (case sensitive) that you want this skill to have. A Skill/Card can have multiple Card Types, using multiple instances of this notetag. |
+Ensure that all Types you plan to use are in the Card Types plugin parameter.
+Any skill which contains the **<Card Base: file_name>** notetag from [[plugin-core|MYTH_CGC_CoreEngine]] will use that specified Card Base instead of the one specified by this plugin.
+With the [[plugin-card-types|MYTH_CGC_CardTypes]] plugin, you also have access to these Card Actions:
+^  Card Action Syntax  ^  Description  ^
+| **Draw X Type Y** | Where X is a number and Y is the name of a Card Type, the game will search the player’s deck for cards of type Y and draw the first X amount of them. |
+| **Discard X Type Y** | Where X is a number and Y is the name of a Card Type, the game will search the player's deck for cards of type Y and discard the first X amount of them. |
+| **Remove X Type Y** | Where X is a number and Y is the name of a Card Type, the game will search the player's deck for cards of type Y and remove the first X amount of them. |
+| **Mill Until Type X** | Where X is the name of a Card Type, the game will discard the top card of the player’s deck until a card of card type Y is on the top of the deck. It will not draw or discard this card - these actions would be a separate notetag. |
+**Note**: All spellings of card type names are case sensitive.
+===== Damage Formula =====
+If you have [[plugin-card-types|MYTH_CGC_CardTypes]], you also have access to this function:
+<code>cardsInZoneOfType(zone, type)</code>
+**zone** must be replaced with “deck” “discard” or “hand” (with quotation marks) for each respective zone.\\ \\ **type** must be replaced with the name of the Card Type you’re checking (with quotation marks).
+This function will tell you how many cards of the specified type are in the specified zone. So if your damage formula says:
+<code>a.cardsInZoneOfType("discard", "Zombie") * 10</code>
+Then the damage dealt will be equal to 10 times the amount of Zombie cards currently in the player’s discard.
+This function can be used just like the variables in the last section for the **Require** keyword.
