By any chance has anyone ever made a bot, or script for a bot to randomly
plant objects in a world based on terrain height?

at _o I was making terrain the last couple of days using your program. I
looked at the tree tab several times, if I checked Generate Terrain, the tab
goes blank, so I uncheck it... then checked Generate Trees, and well all
fields on that page are unable to be edited. I'll keep checking it out :)
I'm sure there is some devious button or checkmark I am missing that will
make those fields editable.

ok, after a lot of button pushing, I finally got objects to be planted :)
But, their not following the terrain, and I'm using the same settings and
file that I used to create the terrain yesterday. :) I'll keep trying...
just hope I don't throw the keyboard through the monitor ;)

Thanks Andras.

You'll probably get the problem with Andras' modular fixed, but if not;
I thought Magine's MagsBot could do this. In the actions tab > build tab
> instant woods (on terrain).

Use the terrain elevdump as the input, and click on the "Preset Terrain in AW" button for properly centering the world (just click OK on the dialog box)

ok, having followed your directions I finally got objects to follow the
terrain... only they are 44 clicks higher than I want them to be. So, since
you had a terrain offset, I put -4.4 in there and reran it... nada... so I
put -44 in there... huh.. useful for rocks maybe huh? Still 44 clicks above
the terrain. My monitor is safe for the moment, but my sanity is slipping :P
hehe.

ok, so I had a terrain offset in AW that I removed and all the objects ended
up being on the ground, or very close to it... I went ahead and added a
terrain offset of .5 instead of the -22 I originally had, and then upped the
water level from 10 to 32 instead. So, kinda all fixed. I'll still have to
wander around and fix some objects, but I'm that much closer. You win the
door prize Andras, door 1, 2 or 3?. :P

I'm glad you succeeded :)
In the Tree tab, there is an individual height offset settings, where you can manipulate or even cause random height offsets, in the Prop tab, you can set the final offsets of the built.
Probably the later is the best place to take the terrain offset in. ( just use your AW terrain offset settings*100 since that field is in centimeter)

We use that tool in egg hunt to randomly place the eggs inworld :)

Ah, that is our Strike...not satisfied to merely advertise his product,
an insult to someone else is necessary too.

However, I was merely answering Talisan's question as to whether any
such feature existed, not claiming that it was the be-all and end-all of
random-terrain-level-object-builders.

You need to go get a massage, maybe sit outside looking at a waterfall for a
few hours... In short, stop being so uptight!

And learn to read a joke, yesh.
