Actually can ,now, with 2.0 :-)
just use multiple object selection and RoboBuilder to move it (may a take a while if you're moving long distance) [View Quote] odysseus .Jun 9, 1998, 4:39am
Yes of cource you can move them with ver. 2, but how about to change the
name? Odysseus [View Quote] technozeusJun 9, 1998, 4:54am

Be "VERY" careful though. Make absolutely SURE that the place you are
moving to has enough room and will not cause encroachment, or you'll destroy your property. Also, if you intend to move a great distance "blindly" you will want to make sure that you know "exactly" which direction your stuff will be moving in. The last object selected will deside the alignment of your movement. You may want to create an object just for that purpose, line it up neatly in the direction you want it to face, and select it last to control the four directions that the selection group will move in.... possibly even test move a copy of the object first, just to be extra sure.

I haven't used the long range move function is some time , but aren't you
warned to face your av north ? [View Quote] technozeusJun 9, 1998, 6:30pm
The last time I used RoboBuilder, yes, it said (if I recall correctly) to
face your afatar north, and something about making sure the object was aligned right also.. although I don't recall the wording. Anyway, what it comes down to is if your object is not aligned in a north-south or east-west position, it will not move North, South, East, and West, but rather will move along some other two prependicular lines based on the rotation of your object. What I was saying is that when selecting a single object, you generally know which way it is aligned (unless it has been shift-rotated) whereas when you select a cell full of objects at a time, there is no way to know exactly which way they will move until you start moving them. The solution to this is to keep an object nearby that is aligned the way you want the group to ACT as if it is aligned, and add that object to the selection group LAST so that it's alignment will be used as the alignment for the group.

I seem to be in the dark regarding the RoboBuilder ... but I noticed that when I
CTRL-SHFT-RightClick on an object, several objects are selected and I can continue to CTRL-SHFT-RightClick other objects into the group. I assume the RoboBuilder will allow a group like this to be selected and moved (more easily I hope). BTW, I have version 2.0 but cannot find RoboBuilder ... where is it?

RoboBuilder is a program (by BinaryBud) designed to speed up a few simple
repetative tasks in Active Worlds. I don't know it's present list of features, but at the time I tried it, you could use it to make a row of evenly spaced copies of an object, move an object to a distant location (although this still takes very long, but it counts the clicks for you so you don't have to) or cover a rectangular area with evenly spaced copies of an object. I don't recall good enough to quote BB exactly on this, but basically, he told me that it's not a program for beginners, but rather a tool for advanced builders. (Feel free to jump in and correct me or elaborate if you're around.) Also, don't expect to be able to do anything "new" with it if you get it. It's just a time saver for people who already understand building and object placement. TechnoZeus [View Quote] raven shadowJun 10, 1998, 9:48am
Land Locker and Robo Builder are both made by Binary Bud .
http://www.netonecom.net/~lmauk/landlock.html http://www.netonecom.net/~lmauk/roboinfo.html LandLocker can be downloaded directly from his page , but , RoboBuilder can only be gotten by emailing BB about it :-) bot of the above pages have his email addie on them [View Quote] |
