I was just told by Support (Myst) that one could use a bot or whatever to
set avatars. This would somehow allow me to have more than just the two
tourist avatars.

Yes, you could have more than just the 2 tourist avs if you are running a
3.4 world. I would suggest asking in the world owners or SDK newsgroup to
see if someone has a bot that chooses avatars for people.

In the very near future I expect to have a number of tourists from another
universe (chat program) to come visit on a certain day. (More about that in
a few days--AW citizens will also be invited!) I would like to have the
visitors have a wider choice of avatars. Is this possible? How would it be
done? Please keep explanations simple--I know very little about bots.

Thanks in advance!

www.petrossa.com/Chazbot, has a full set of avatar settings on a per
visitor basis

The current SDK build 31 has a bug: it will set correctly the avatar
of a tourist to a number higher than 1 (0 and 1 are the tourist
avatars), but the bots will "see" the tourist as wearing avatar 0.

The bots get in this case two avatar_change events for the tourist:
the first one with the correct avatar number (say avatar number 9),
and inmediately afterwards, one with avatar number 0 for the tourist.

Avatar_add events for this tourist give avatar 0.

I file in a bug report to Bill about this.

Lol, tnx for the input, doesnt detract from Chazbot being able to govern
Avatar usage :)

It may be a bug, but it has worked fine for us in our world and actually has
impressed alot of new-comers into evenually becoming registered citizens!

The bug I refer to is not that tourists may have more avatars than
just the two traditional ones: if you read my post correctly, I say
that bots do not see that change: that is the bug - bots must see what
the browser sees.

Actually, even the browser do not see changes all the time:

Make an application in which a click on an avatar will change this
avatar type and call in 2-3 friends to click on each other.
What happens now is that sometimes, you can see the change, sometimes
not, sometimes the bot sees it, sometimes not, sometimes one or another
avatar cannot see it unless they leave the world and re-enter, etc.

The process is totally unreliable since the effects are random at best

Yes but either way the tourists like it, so that's somewhat a plus!
