Hi,
I'm trying to restrict a bot to act only within a certain radius. Will a bot always process events within a standard large bot space, and do I just have to check the positions that these events originate from in order to see if my bot should do something, or is there something I can set that tells my bot to only respond to events within a certain radius? Like, say a bot always processes events within a 100 m radius (which I know it doesn't, but just for illustration's sake...) and I only want to handle r=50m. Do I have to check all events that come in, or can I simply set something that would automatically restrict what area my bot listens to? Thanks, Omar |
