My idea is to add a new property, VIRS_IMMUNE. It makes elemnts immune to virus. This helps in Lua to make an element that is immune to virus. Also, are there any workarounds to this?

Seems interesting......as long it isn't set into elements and is only on with the console or prop tool, that's fine.

one thing: BREAK SAVES!!!!

and also, why use virus-immune when you can just use acid?

PROPERTY!!!!1!. Sorry for the caps, but it's not going to change any element, it's a new property, like temperature, tmp1, ...

no, not like temp or tmp1, more like PROP_CONDUCTS, PROP_LIFE_DEC, PROP_RADIOACTIVE

I mean 'property' like mniip says.

there is already a state that determines if something has been cured or not. the problem is any particles that are created thereafter would not be immune, and spread to even the things that have been cured, it's a fight between the cured and uncured state just like an infinite sprk loop.

there must be a state somewhere that determines that dmnd cant have virs passed to it. maybe a way to pass that attribute to other elements would be useful.

ex: make a pot of dmnd, fill it with virs then "set tmp2 virs 93" 93 happens to be the element number of bcln, from there drop 1px of soap so that it turns into bcln(virs) and you can drop virs onto the bcln without it getting infected. this works with any kind of solid so long as you have a constant supply of virs that it "remembers" its immune to.
