This sort of fits with the wishlist and SDK, but I decided to put it here.
:-)
Anyway, I think there should be added things to allow the bot to change the
avatar of someone (if CT) to a different avatar, even avatars that are not
shown in the avatars menu! That way if you made a CTF game, you could force
the person's avatar to a guy with a flag so that he could try and run out of
their base with the flag without getting shot.
Also, allow the avatar to force a seq on a certain person. For same types of
reasons but then you could make someone fire their gun when they tried to
shoot you (in paintball).
Also forcing someone's sequence to be kept into one frame or stop in the
middle and begin another one while the avatar stays in the same position
without returning to it's default standing position. That way you could make
an avatar crouch and crawl across the ground.
It should be able to control the speed at which the avatar can move. Or at
the very least, cancel the use of the control button for running for certain
avatars.
I think AWCom should pay special attention to the games going on in their
software. They don't seem to care about the few gaming worlds and gamers
that play things like paintball. With a more complicated SDK system, these
games could sky-rocket. There's not many places where you can create your
very own FPS, but with a little bit of work on AWCom's part, AcitveWorlds
could be the first to offer that sort of thing.
Feb 25, 2002, 5:29pm
Well, they were ideas for later SDK additions :-)
You can force an avatar change? Hm... I'll have to go take a look at the SDK
again, hehe :)

It would take too long to click 2 times before shooting the person. I don't
think that would be very useful. The SDK already has avatar_click for the
left-click on an avatar and that works sufficiently, although there is no
good controls for changing weapons and such (for a new bot I hope to be done
with soon) without whispering to the bot, which takes too long to do in a
fast-paced FPS game.

I've already come up with what it would do when clicked with different
weapons, but I've been looking for a better way of changing weapons quickly
without whispering the bot. I think it's pretty impossible to do anything
else. I don't know what else would work. :-\

But I want them to be able to change weapons on the fly, while they're
running about. I know I can make signs in GZ, but how to change on the fly
in the middle of a game while you're running after someone or something...
I'm still thinking about that one ;-)
