TRUMPET PLANT FIX v1.2
----------------------
August 25th, 2020

This COB fixes many script errors that prevented Trumpet Plants from displaying their intended behaviors, implements some failsafes, and adds a few new features.

1. Trumpet Plants that are left alone will periodically "flower" and release flying seeds, which drift around in the wind.  It takes about five minutes after being pushed for a fruit for the plant to flower; this resets every time a fruit is taken.  However, once a plant starts to flower, the process cannot be interrupted by trying to get a fruit.
2. Flying seeds sprout into new plants if they touch down in suitable soil (Inorganic Nutrients level between 70 and 180) and there isn't another Trumpet Plant too close by.  This prevents multiple plants from growing in the same wind "dead zone".  Flying seeds will also autokill if they end up near the very bottom edge of the map, to prevent them from growing under the ground by the waterfall.
3. After flowering 3 times, Trumpet Plants will die.
4. Trumpet Fruits leave behind a seed if allowed to decay completely.  The seed is the same as the one released from the Trumpet Seed Launcher.
5. Both types of seeds are now edible.  The static green seed provides the same chemicals as Trumpet Fruits, but less of them, while the flying seed provides the same amounts, making it a rewarding snack for any creature that manages to catch one.  (Does not provide Reward.)
6. New in v1.1: the Trumpet Seed Launcher is now stimulating for creatures to interact with.  It provides 25 Need For Pleasure Decrease and 25 Boredom Decrease, similar values as the two Cactus Seed Launchers.
7. New in v1.2: syntax errors that would create a neverending cascade of bizarre error messages under certain conditions were fixed, the amount of time the fruit takes to decay has been adjusted, the plant is slightly stimulating (10 Need For Pleasure Decrease and 10 Boredom Decrease) to interact with, and a new sprite for the Spoiled Trumpet Fruit has been included.

Upon injection, all existing Trumpet Plants will be affected; they are not removed and re-added.  Wait a few minutes to watch them flower for the first time, the way they were always meant to!

By releasing this COB to the public, I am granting permission for anyone to modify, make derivatives of, or redistribute it, privately or publicly, without asking me first.  Stand on the shoulders of giants and keep circulating the tapes.
