If one of the existing bot programmers (like Faber or Ima) could add this to their bots, that'd be great. Otherwise, I guess yet another bot program. Anyway, what I want is a bot to be able to change multiple objects properties (actions/description) at certain times at the same time. For example, I want my streetlights in Hole to dim, turn off/on at certain times, simulating a day/night cycle.

Faber's Preston doesn't let me do this too easily or well so I need something more complex. Faber also doesn't seem to want to work to enhance Preston's functionality, so its development stagnates much like AW's does, which is a shame (annoying, actually).

This is also why I think bot functionality should be built-in to AW instead of having to rely on external, 3rd-party developer programs. If anything, a more enhanced script language should be added to the actions to allow for SDK functionality within AW.

This is one NG you really don't belong in, you should keep all of your
complaining in Beta . . . Come to think of it, you should keep it all to
yourself . . .

You need to work on constructive criticism.

After the long process of dechipering Eep² linguistics (The most difficult
language to dechiper for our little minds) I have come to a simple soultion
written in ZonsKey linguistics!

1. Bot programmers make a seed bot that can seed and delete objects at a
given locale in a world.
2. Allow the bot to be fully manipulated. (As in all features can be turned
off on, changed whatever)
3. Create a simple dialog for the end user in GUI format to set a time for
when an object is to be changed and what settings are to be changed (To
change you would delete the old object and then seed a new one with the
proper changes)

3 simple steps to fullfil the great master Eeps wishes in ZonsKey
linguistics.
