End All DNA defense
Endy:
Sorry Nums, found an ultimate virus attack. Probably its too good to keep in DB, unless new defense methods are developed.
' Structural Destroyer Virus
' Got the idea from talks on Virus defense and Exploding Babies
' Use in SG plant/animal
cond
start
*.genes rnd .mkvirus store
250 .vshoot store
cond
stop
end
When this gene is sent it's very existance causes the other bot to reproduce babies that normally explode instantly, some 1 out of 25 suprisingly survive but the odds are against it. The virus also sometimes strangely only makes the:
cond
stop
peice allowing several shots at once. In a match between Din and this virus(plant bot), Din actually lost to the plant. :o
Endy ;)

I don't understand. You did just that gene in a bot then made it autotroph? Cause I don't see the point.
You just end up with alot of viruses firing some of their different genes at each other. Mildly destructive but hardly an uber weapon.
There will be no super weapons in 3.0. I'm balancing the combat and defense systems. Got rid of the shell and slime limits. Allowed bots to power up their shots. Should make for an interesting get together.
Endy:
Nums check the second "cond" inside the gene, deliberately written. This causes the babies to explode(see PY's comment in your thread about badly written dna). Coupled with some defense for the original bot(tricky but not impossible) and this eliminates an enemy's ability to reproduce, since the gene will affect reproduction irregardless of position in the genome.
One group @refeye 77 != could delete the gene and be the reproducers. The others could retain it and remain few in numbers but serve to defend the reproducers.
Endy ;)
Numsgil:
I think you highlighted the bug I fixed with exploding babies.
Nothing a bot can do in-game should corrupt DNA files (should being the operative word).
Probably why it wasn't working when I tried it.
Endy:
Oops. Oh well, would have been one heck of a weapon. :(
How to say this politely...in the future could you keep "production" dates more of a secret? It seems all bot design is halted right now as we all [you]eagerly[/you] wait for the next version.
Endy ;)
