Title: can viruses transmit only a certain gene
Post by: -venom- on January 05, 2007, 04:24:55 PM

is it possible to make a virus that can transmit an entire gene
like this one

' let the bot die at age 5000
cond
*.robage 5000 >
start
-2 .shoot store
*.nrg .shootval store
stop

so that the virus will kill its victim at age 5000 or what ever

Put the gene number before the .mkvirus command.

1 .mkvirus store transmits the first gene

*.thisgene .mkvirus store transmits the virus gene itself.

10 rnd .mkvirus store transmits a random gene from 1 to 10.
