It produces 2 part stun bombs at 50%C and then clears the core with DATs at 50%C Here is the warrior. It probably look like alot of other stones, unless mine has some big design flaws. ;name Dire Strait ;author Marshall bombz EQU (CORESIZE/7) ;works with any coresize i think org go go MOV bomb1, >bomb1 MOV bomb2, @bomb1 ADD #6, bomb1 DJN.B go, bomb2 ;make sure not to stun itself clear MOV 4 , 5 ;should stick something in here JMP -1, >-1 ;to avoid killing self bomb1 SPL 0, 3 ;2 part stun bomb bomb2 JMP -1, bombz ;makes new processes at 50%C DAT <2666, <5333 ;imp-ring killer, i think is there anything i can do to speed up the stun bombing or make the whole thing smaller? There is another 2 part stun i considered using, which is: SPL 0, 2 MOV -1, >-1 which makes its own SPL carpet. The only problem is that when the enemy reaches the process limit, these can become stunners which may hit the warrior. Thanks Marshall
