Possible to Clone?
Endy:
I've had all sorts of weird things happen using this. With Two the plants would be like a sort of infinitly powered reserve force, helping Two to defeat One. On some occasions the competitor would pick up the dna and have it's own replaced causing an endless match.
I'll agree that firing the viruses around is risky, I've had plants hit accidentally in Evo sims and wind up defeating the animals. It can also lead to massive numbers of small viruses flying across the screen, wiping out species through sheer numbers of store's.
Umm...I'm not sure if it's fixed yet, but if you delete the gene just before a viral gene is shoot, the larger virus is fired instead. Imagine expanding on this using One's gene, being able to vshoot itself multiple times taking only approx 9 cy to make a new virus, and you can see the problem.
ie.
g1
cond
start
.delgene inc
stop
'g2 Massive SG bot/viral gene
I think some sort of vtimer checker would probably be inorder, if the size of the gene has changed the program would disallow firing.
Numsgil:
I'm working on that particular bug now. Problem is that it's sort of a mish mash of code to work through to rig up a fix.
Endy:
Whenever you get time. For now I'd just recommend everyone agree not to abuse it. Besides I've already figured out a mod to One that legally allows it to defeat itself...I'm keeping quiet about that one until I can make a bot of my own take advantage of it. :D
p.s.
Oh yeah One's delgene funct works well for wiping out all other genes.
Welwordion:
I think it would be useful if you could not only delete, but also copy them.
Adiitionally it would be great if you could have Dna parts for virus and those copies that in the original are formulas, but in the copy they are the values you calculated in the moment of coping/firing.
That ways you could send a virus with a standard template and once it is in an empty body it would just copy itself several times storing useful values in itself.
fulizer:
stuff like that can give some extreme advantages to other species.
you will need to come up with a way to stop it from cloning itself onto other species or, as mentioned erilier, vegiies will become auto fed killing machines
