Is there a session ID that allows you to create a console message only
within the bots range? If so please tell me.

Console messages are better for phonebots

youd have to keep track of where everyone is and issue messages to the
people near it on by one

Yes, but due to the fact that your using VB, and console messaging only the
people near the bot is out of your grasp.

as far as i know there is nothing in the c++ sdk that would let you do that

what youd have to do is keep track of where eveyone is (youd need to know
how to use the memory functions of the windows API) and then when you want
to do a console message to people within a certain radius, just check each
person one by one from memory... unless you try to do it without using
memory directly it wont lag

I amde a set of functions that added session numbers to a list of people
during EventAvatarAdd using an array of sessions. The place where new
session numbers should be are is saved by a long, and it sends messages, but
it seems to not read the session ids from the array )-:

Function HypBetween2D(X1 As Long, Z1 As Long, X2 As Long, Z2 As Long)
'This allows you to find the distance between 4 points allong the hyp
'and is used for mapping and rangefinding. It uses X and Z (NS / EW)
Dim DistanceOnTarget As Long, XDistance As Long, ZDistance As Long
XDistance = X2 - X1
ZDistance = Z2 - Z2
HypBetween2D = Squ((XDistance ^ 2) + (ZDistance ^ 2))
End Function

A loop with all your av's in from the location of the bot. Vualla.

STL :) This is what I do to keep track of everyone in the scene.

(Ignore the myBotClass::, I copied this out of my own bots--just change the
functions to whatever you are using, you get the idea)

#include <map>

using namespace std;

typedef struct {
char* citName;
int X;
int Y;
int Z;
int citNum;
int avatar;
int gesture;
} avInfo;

map<int,avInfo> avatars; // Info on everyone in the scene

void myBotClass::awEventAvatarAdd(char* avatarName,int avatarSession,int
X,int Z,int Y,int yaw,int avatarCitNum,int avatarType,int avatarGesture){
// Store avatar info
avatars[avatarSession].citName=avatarName;
avatars[avatarSession].X=X;
avatars[avatarSession].Y=Y;
avatars[avatarSession].Z=Z;
avatars[avatarSession].citNum=avatarCitNum;
avatars[avatarSession].avatar=avatarType;
avatars[avatarSession].gesture=avatarGesture;
dbgPrint("%s entered the scene. Citizen: %i Session:
%i",avatarName,avatarCitNum,avatarSession);
}

void myBotClass::awEventAvatarChange(char* avatarName,int avatarSession,int
X,int Z,int Y,int yaw,int avatarType,int avatarGesture){
avatars[avatarSession].citName=avatarName;
avatars[avatarSession].X=X;
avatars[avatarSession].Y=Y;
avatars[avatarSession].Z=Z;
avatars[avatarSession].avatar=avatarType;
avatars[avatarSession].gesture=avatarGesture;
}

void myBotClass::awEventAvatarDelete(char* avatarName,int avatarSession){
avatars.erase(avatarSession);
}

This way, you have a little spybot that keeps tabs on everyone in the scene.

Or just use a basic array of a Struct?

[View Quote] What I use in my bot is an invisible list box. on the
aw_event_avatar_add it adds the session number to the invisible one and
the name to the visable one.

That's the newbie-ish uncorrect way. The most common correct way is to use
an array. With an array you can also skip having any listboxes at all:
<code language="VB">
Private Type AwUser
AwName As String
AwSession As Long
End Type

Dim AwUsers() As AwUser
Dim AUIdx As Long 'this one should be set to -1 at init

Private Sub sdk_EventAvatarAdd()
AUIdx = AUIdx + 1
AwUsers(AUIdx).AwName = sdk.AwAvatarName
AwUsers(AUIdx).AwSession = sdk.AwAvatarSession
End Sub
</code>

If it's uncorrect then why does it work? :)

By uncorrect I didn't say it wasn't working, but it's not the way it should
be done, it's not a very good solution to the problem. :-))
