I know I should have put this up in the bots section but no one ever replies
there, so here I go. If you have been to AW GZ you might have noticed that
some of the ads are changing every so often. I was wondering if I could tell
a Preston to do that. I have 3 ad picts up and more than 3 ads to go up. I
want the ads to change or rotate every say 2 minutes. Is there a command I
can use I Preston for this? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

You don't need a bot to do that. You can use the create animate command and
time how often the picture (texture) changes. Check Lara's building yard for
examples.

Sure a Preston can do they. Use the action command change object, and the
event either be time or VRT. With VRT you can set it so the bot would
change an ad at 1:00 AM, 1:30, 2:00, 2:15, etc, whatever you want really.
With timer you can set it so the bot will change that object every so and so
seconds. Anyway, you gotta know how to get Preston to change objects
around, so you'll need to give them a name (create name ad, for example). I
hope this helps =)

If you would rather not waste a bot to run a simple changing picture, the AW
command set would go something like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
create name adpict, picture www.geocities.com/temp/advert1.jpg

create name pictrig1, animate me theblus 1 1 6000, astart; adone picture
www.geocities.com/temp/advert1.jpg name=adpict, astart pictrig2

create name pictrig2, animate me theblus 1 1 6000; adone picture
www.geocities.com/temp/advert1.jpg name=adpict, astart pictrig3

create name pictrig3, animate me theblus 1 1 6000; adone picture
www.geocities.com/temp/advert1.jpg name=adpict, astart pictrig4

create name pictrig4, animate me theblus 1 1 6000; adone picture
www.geocities.com/temp/advert1.jpg name=adpict, astart pictrig1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------

If you want more ads in there then just add more objects to the sequence.
If you want the ad to change more frequently just increase the 6000 (6
seconds) to 60000 (1 minute) or whatever. I usually put the command sets in
some wavspk.rwx underground in an adjacent cell that has little in it.
Saves cell space that way.
