When a robot ties to you give him a nasty shock with this gene, it will delete his genes B)

Code: [Select]

cond
  *.numties 0 >
  *.robage 2 >
start
  *.tiepres .tienum store
  .delgene .tieloc store
  1 .tieval store
stopYou can also try changing the .delgene to something else, the possibilities are endless, poor tie feeders  :bigginangel: although these genes can be used in reverse as a weapon for tie feeders

Shouldn't be possible to use delgene this way in 2.5.

I put a system in place to stop delgene working from anywhere other than the robot's own DNA

Have you actually tried this gene?

delgene's through ties still work.

Deathgrip uses it.

just tried it again and yep it definatly works in 2.35 and in 2.36, also Death grip (database) uses it as a weapon, I remember you stopping .delgene being activated by venom and poison but dont remember anyone mentioning ties, but yes I agree it should be removed, I assume you can use it with other variables okay like .repro instead?

Definately.  But using .repro would be tricky since you will usually be blocking the only space the cell can repro into.

true, you would have to link it to some sort of movement command, but the possibility is there to play with
