Ok,

I'm working on my bot and I have the following code inserted to make a
bot spawn when a gesture is played but it doesn't work. and ideas on how
to make it work?

/*gesture spawning sequnce*/

void handle_avatar_gesture (void)
{
int rc;

if (rc = aw_int(AW_AVATAR_GESTURE)){
aw_create (0, 0, &bot2);
aw_say ("Gesture picked up, attempting spawn");
aw_instance_set (bot2);
aw_string_set (AW_LOGIN_PRIVILEGE_PASSWORD, "Zer099Fifty2");
aw_int_set (AW_LOGIN_OWNER, CIT_NUM);
aw_string_set (AW_LOGIN_NAME, "Test2");
aw_enter ("Space", 0);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_X, 0);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_Z, 0);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_YAW, 0);
aw_say ("Hello I've been spawned");
}
}

One problem I can see right away is that your first call to aw_say() won't
work because aw_create() changes the default instance (i.e. the bot that
subsequent commands apply to) to the instance you just created. You need to
either move the call to aw_say() above aw_create() or use more calls to
aw_instance_set() to switch back and forth between the two bots.

Also you did not call aw_state_change() before your second call to aw_say(),
so it won't work either. You have to announce your position in the world at
least once by calling aw_state_change() before you can say anything.

Beyond that, if you are still having problems I would suggest more liberal
checking of return values (especially from calls to aw_enter() which can
fail for lots of different reasons) with appropriate bail outs/diagnostic
messages so you can quickly identify problems when you run the program.
