table	aux.tableOR(...)	-
bool	aux.TargetBoolFunction(function f, ...)	Used in SetTarget filters (with parameters (e,c)) to check a function and its (...) parameters
bool	aux.TargetEqualFunction(function f, int value, ...)	Used in SetTarget filters (with parameters (e,c)) to check a function and its (...) parameters is equal to the inputted (int value).
bool	aux.TatsunecroFilter(Card c)	Returns is Card c has "3096468" as flag effect. Used in the Synchro summon procedure
bool	aux.tgoval(Effect e, Effect re, int rp)	filter for EFFECT_CANNOT_BE_EFFECT_TARGET, "cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects"

return type	function name	description
void	aux.thoeSend(card c)	Sends (card c) to the grave. Function added to be used with aux.ToHandOrElse
void	aux.ToHandOrElse(card c|group tc, int player, [function check, function oper, str],...)	Makes (int player) either add (card c|group tg) to hand or perform a secondary action. If the optional parameters are not provided, the default secondary action is to send the card or group to the GY. If the provided (function check) is true (for all the cards in the group) , the secondary action, with string called from (str), will be the one defined in (function oper).
bool	aux.TRUE()	Function that returns true. Can be used to return a whole group of cards in a certain location
void	aux.ValuesReset()	-
void	aux.WitchcrafterDiscardCost(f, int minc, int maxc)	Auxiliary function for the discard cost of "Witchcrafter" monsters. Performs the actual discard part, considering a minimum (minc) and maximum (maxc) amount of cards to discard. It also handles cards with EFFECT_WITCHCRAFTER_REPLACE, setting the reason for REASON_COST for those, or REASON_COST+REASON_DISCARD if a card is sent from hand instead.
bool	aux.WitchcrafterDiscardFilter(c)	Auxiliary function for the discard cost of "Witchcrafter" monsters. Returns if (Card c) can be either sent to the GY as a cost or has EFFECT_WITCHCRAFT_REPLACE.
bool	aux.WitchcrafterDiscardGroup(minc)	Auxiliary function for the discard cost of "Witchcrafter" monsters. Returns if there is a card with EFFECT_WITCHCRAFTER_REPLACE, that can be used as the whole cost, of if there is a (minc) number of cards to use as cost, minc is the ammount the effect requires to discard.
bool	aux.xyzlimit(Effect e, Effect se, int sp, int st)	SPSUMMON condition "Must be Xyz Summoned"
int	aux.ZoneCheckFunc(card c, int player, int zone)	Auxiliary function called by "Duel.CheckReleaseGroupSummon" and Duel.SelectReleaseGroupSummon".
bool	aux.zptcon(filter)	Used as condition for effects that check "if a [filter] monster is Special Summoned to a zone this card points to". Includes non-trivial handling of self-destructing Burning Abyss monsters. tp is passed to check control.
bool	aux.zptfilter(filter)	Used as filter for effects that check "if [filter] monster is Special Summoned to a zone this card points to". Also includes non-trivial handling of self-destructing effects of "Burning Abyss" monsters.
group	aux.zptgroup(group eg, function filter, card c, int tp)	Filter for "If a (function filter) monster is Special Summoned to a zone this card points to". Includes non-trivial handling of self-destructing Burning Abyss monsters
bool	aux.zptgroupcon(group eg, function filter, card c, int tp)
bool	aux.CheckSkillNegation(e,tp)	Function to check whether the Skill would be negated by Anti Skill
