Ties not working for some reason

This would be a very bad bug that I imagine many people would scream about in short order.    Awhile back, there was an issue with some bucket-based perf improvements that caused some phatom bot issues, but that is long fixed.    The eye values should be and to my knowledge, are indeed all zeroed when nothing is in the focus eye.

Glad your having fun...

I was asking because somewhere I saw that the eye reference values are persistent even when the current focus eye 'sees' nothing causing basically a phantom bot.

This has been fixed as far as I know.

At some point it would be nice to have a DNA compiler, that checked for syntax errors and warned you about naming conflicts.  I'm not holding my breath, though

Bluchrome:
That would be well appreciated. And again (It seems as of late my expressive skill have declined) what I meant was I saw somewhere that .refeye etc are persistent.

Also one quick question can bots delete ties they did not create and how would they address the tie. If they use the same ID as the creating bot then collisons(multiple ID aliased ties) would be a problem

And yeah I am having fun. I enjoy problem solving

EricL:
The refvars should get reset if nothing is in the focus eye.  They didn't use to but I fixed that in recent versions.

Bots can delete ties they did not create.  Their tie number for the tie is different that that used at the other end by the tie creator.  They can gleam it through .tiepres or intuit it as the the tie port for the last tie attached to them that they did not create is essentially *.numties.

Bluchrome:
I see...

I know you can use tiepres but what if you also fired a tie in that cycle which would it refer to, and would numties still be usable if I also have ties.
