I'm writing a bit of a game here, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows if
there's a way to have the bot set the owner of an object it creates to
something other than the ppw owner used to start the bot. (note: this is in
my world, where I am caretaker and have all rights)

The issue in question is that the users can destroy pieces of the
environment (causing them to be deleted). When I reset the environment, the
bot uses the stored data of all the destroyed objects to reconstruct them -
this works fine. However, the owner is always set to my citnum, regardless
of what citnum I tell it (aw_int_set (AW_OBJECT_OWNER,whatever);), which is
problematic considering that other people are also building in the world,
and when their destructable objs get reset, they are then owned by me,
making it impossible for them to alter them.

Any ideas?

Doh! Can't believe I didn't bother to check what that function was for.

Thanks =)
