Hi. I have a world and am trying to program 2 bots, one to greet (The
Preston Bot) and the other is Hambot to just walk around. First, is there a way I can get the hambot to quit saying every few minutes "Type my name......to own me" ? and is there a way I can program the Preston bot to walk around a bit as well, but not too far from the entrance. Second is how do I configure coordinates, say 40N 50E 0.5A 180 to aw terms? Is 180 the degrees turned? I know whether you are facing N, S, E or W or any other direction but how do I get the bot to be turned around in the last number. I'm not sure if I'm actually saying this correctly. I have noticed that the bot is right on top of anyone who comes in the world. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thank you. MoonstoneWolf Newbie QuestionDec 25, 1999, 6:26pm
I almost forgot, the world is Native American and so I was wondering if
there is a program/utility that I can download to change the appearance (skin color, haircut,etc) of my bots and if so where can I download it from. I'm running Windows 95 on a Packard Bell. Also, does that same program also work at construction new objects and avs? Maybe the last 2 don't belong in this newsgroup, but thought I'd ask anyway. thank you? MoonstoneWolf [View Quote] > Hi.

Thank you so much for the information. Cool bot by the way, I have noticed he is
easier to use than some I have tried. I am not very good with math and was totally confused about the degrees....yes, I remember now the degrees after you mention. This is actually my first time building, first time owning a world let alone using a bot. Guess I like to go for the gusto all at once instead of learning a little at a time., but that's ok, I tend to learn better this way. I appreciate your answer and hope you had a Meryy Christmas.
