Caretaker recognition... (Bots)
Caretaker recognition... // Botslady nighthawkJun 17, 2004, 6:22pm
How do I get my x1s to recognize all world caretakers as their boss/owners?
I have set the Preferences to allow first owners (I assume that's the caretakers) but they still don't seem to recognize AerHawk when being told to follow/join/etc by him. How do I get them to know he is a caretaker / owner just as I am? Thanks... LNH -- johnfJun 17, 2004, 6:26pm
'Owners' are of the bot. This does not mean world owners. For example if
you log a bot into AW (the world), the 'owner' is the citizen no. it is logged on to (and not AWLD, for example). John [View Quote] zeofatexJun 17, 2004, 6:38pm

After your citizen number in the login textbox put a comma and his citizen number. He will become a first owner. You don't need to have his ppw to log the bot in. i.e. where it says login if your citnum is 123456 and his is 234567 type '123456,234567' and all you need in the password box is the first citnum's ppw [View Quote] lady nighthawkJun 17, 2004, 6:53pm
Thank you both, it seems my problem was adding his cit to the main startup
screen ... got that fixed, although I do see on the page that the second owner may not have all the rights of the first. Thanks again... LNH -- [View Quote] xelagJun 17, 2004, 6:57pm
LNH,
The AW SDK does not allow bots to see who is caretaker or not, except in one case: the bot is caretaker with citnum X, and someone else present also is citnum X or wears citnum X privs. So there is no automatic way for bots to know who is caretaker, except for its own cit if the bot is caretaker. If you know the citnums of caretakers, follow zeofatex's instruction. Please note that xelagot does NOT recognise privs when talking of ownership, only login cits. The reason is for security, because owners have a vast range of functions at their disposal which could harm if misused.

Also I can't seem to have the bot accept more than one owner in the
Ownership block thing, I uncheck that (Bot / Ownership Block / Release & Unblock) and tell it to allow but when I log the bot off she goes back into block mode not allowing more owners ... not sure why it's doing that. Anyway it seems my hubby can tell them what to do now so I did get that fixed, not sure how that area of Ownership Block works or why it's reverting back to Block 2nd Ownership even though I've unchecked that. Or do I need to allow second ownership? Are you saying that hubby is 1st owner as long as his cit is beside mine in the main login screen? LNH -- [View Quote] lady nighthawkJun 17, 2004, 7:02pm
Thanks Alex, I did actually figure the extra cit number part by reading your
pages. Just not sure if this makes him 1st owner as I or if he's considered a second owner. And, not sure if he's a second owner why that section I mentioned in the prev post won't allow me to allow 2nd owners. I don't care really, as long as my husband gets the same rights I do it matters not to me how to get that ... I just want to understand how to get him the same rights I have.

Log into the universe first, ownership block works in side each
universe differently. I may want to disable that when bots are not logged in, it is confusing even for me :) Alex On 17 Jun 2004 16:58:33 -0400, "lady nighthawk" [View Quote] >Also I can't seem to have the bot accept more than one owner in the >Ownership block thing, I uncheck that (Bot / Ownership Block / Release & >Unblock) and tell it to allow but when I log the bot off she goes back into >block mode not allowing more owners ... not sure why it's doing that.

Second owner can only be appointed inside a world using a verbal
command, and is for limited time. All cits on the permanent list are first owners. The first one on the list is login owner. Login owner has a few more rights than other first owners, mostly related to voiding or reentering the bot and loading/executing scripts. In my previous post, I said "block" was per universe. I made a mistake: block ownership is related to this temporary 2nd owner.

What i just said below is crap, it applies to listening restricted,
not to block ownership! Who made this bot? Alex [View Quote] >Log into the universe first, ownership block works in side each >universe differently. I may want to disable that when bots are not >logged in, it is confusing even for me :) > >Alex lady nighthawkJun 17, 2004, 8:28pm
