Hello, everyone!

I know that it's possible to record an avatar's last known in-world position
in a text file (I believe the tourist guard bot is one bot that records this
data).

That said, is either the Preston, Xela or Magsbot able to return an avatar
to its last know position after it re-enters the world after being away for
an extended period of time?

If not, is someone out there capable of / willing to write a script that can
accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry I don't know anything about those bots, but it just so happens I was
working on a similar problem recently.

In case it helps, the last-know position could come from tracking the
AW_EVENT_AVATAR_CHANGE event discussed at
http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/ and the avatar could be moved with
the aw_teleport method discussed there.

For aw_teleport, "The calling instance must be owned by a caretaker or
have the EJECT right in order to use aw_teleport."

Since I'm privilege-deficient, I instead had the bot create a teleport,
delete
it after I'd used it, then follow along for the next leap. It worked very
well.

Wish I could help more.

Still needs putting in a bot tho :P

As it so happens, I will probably put it in the next version of Evo.
