[ASM & Hex] Creating move effect for stealth rock fire red help

I'm hoping to implement stealth rocks into my rom hack, but I'm stuck at creating the move effect. I've put in other move effects with help from the forums and have a basic understanding, but stealth rocks is confusing me. I imagine if I use the spikes code it will be usable 3x and not deal rock type damage. Anyone know which data I should change in the spikes code for the effect, or willing to give me advice. So far I've tried comparing it to other moves like stockpile which can only be used 3 times until its effect wears off, but I'm making no progress.
 
I'm pretty sure the type effectiveness of entry hazards is affected by the move type. Honestly, I'd say just try making a Rock-type duplicate of Spikes and see if that works (ie, test it on a Normal-type, a Fire-type, and a Fire/Flying-type.)
 
Toxic Spikes is poison type and stealth rock rock, but spikes doesn't do type based damage it just misses flying types, pokemon with levitate. I've been looking in to removing the 'super effective'ness by comparing it some future sight code but I can't get it to work unfortunately.

If you're hacking ruby/emerald, you can use pokeruby/pokeemerald as DizzyEgg suggests. If you're set on hacking Fire Red, you can use MrDs' rombase which includes stealth rock and toxic spikes (although they might be buggy, I can't remember). If you want to insert the effect yourself you will need to modify battle scripts and assembly code.

Mr. DS's base is kind of garbage. Leon's Ultimate is *WAYYYYY* better.
