A:

I need an example of this two viruses:

one that adds 50 .up and itself using ties...

one that adds 50 .up and itself using shots...

The main problem is where in the dna it is best to be inserted...

B:
Can *pain or *nrg exsept values artifisialy , for example 20 .nrg while the energy is 1000 , will read 20. Also can venom do that?

C:
Does a system exsisit that I fire a requst to a robot such as
Quote
numgenes .get

and it bounces of the robot as  a value for numgenes. Does the same system exsisit for ties.
(If no.. I can use "get" , "valuer" 'has value returned? (shots only) and "gvalue" 'gotten value and somthing like -7 shoot or -5 tieloc)

Not sure what you're looking for exactly.  Viruses are transfered strictly using shots.  Is that what you mean by "using shots"?

Viruses get inserted randomly anywhere between two genes at present.  So the issue seems sort of moot since you can't control where it gets inserted.

Yes, you can do this.  Venom, however, is executed after DNA is, so the DNA would never see the altered values venom creates.  Eric: this might actually be a good thing to change slightly: have venom change the values directly before and after, so you could use venom on read-only values like this.

Not directly, but if you use the memval/memloc pair you can peek in to another bot's sysvars.

How? By seeing the robot??

Lets say a venom does 5 .up
I am fine with that, If we follow Endys idea the robot will be charged with .up twise not once, so it does not make sense.

I did not realise this , (thank you for your help people...)
