AW_AVATAR_CHANGE is not being re-called after a citizen bounces,

When a citizen first enters it can pick up all the changes being made but
after the citizen leaves and reenters , the bot does not detect any changes
(like avatar changes). Do I need to refresh?

If so how?

The "refresh" is done by periodically calling aw_wait, usually through a timer; a couple times a second should be sufficient in most cases. http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/aw_wait.htm

no its not that the call backs are getting messed up , there are no call
backs being used
what I am trying to do is restrict anyone but my citizen number from using
avatar 3 I have done the check when they enter or when it detects an avatar
changes

it can catch both no problem but if they leave the world and come back in it
is almost like they get ignored now by the bot, and it does not pick up any
avatar changes.

if you want I can post the code if you think that will help....

If the avatar leaves the world and comes back the event you are looking for is not AW_EVENT_AVATAR_CHANGE, it's AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD and you need to check the AW_AVATAR_TYPE attribute in its content; check http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD.htm. My guess is you maintain some sort of session table which you don't update during the above events and AW_EVENT_AVATAR_DELETE

I am also checking AW_AVATAR_ADD,

but I am not maintaining a session table I am merely getting the session as
they change and altering the AV if needed. Should I be maintaining a session
table haha

sorry first time with the SDK, still learning the IN's and OUT's of it. But
I do appreciate all the help.

Um nope, you don't need a session table for the task in hand, it was just a remote guess. A little more information on the language you use and maybe some (pseudo)code would be helpful since I'm out of ideas now. For example if it's VB and if you don't use Option Explicit, AW_AVATAR_ADD is not a syntax error but it's a dang logic error, the correct is AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD. Anyway I can't think of anything else as it is, sorry :)

Here is the code with, the citnumber world and PrivPass are garbage
*obviously*
maybe I am overlooking something really dumb...

god I hope so lol

I don't get it, it seems to work fine for me; entered, changed avatar, bounced, changed avatar, bounced, changed avatar, all events received and handled. Just add 'printf ("avatar_change: %s %d\n", aw_string(AW_AVATAR_NAME),aw_int(AW_AVATAR_SESSION));' or something of the kind in your handle_avatar_change and you'll see you receive all events fine. One note, http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/aw_avatar_set.htm needs world server build 44 but in any case it is called in the content of both ADD and CHANGE event handlers; must be gremlins.
