Another waypoints update for waypoints-pros!

Waypoints module Waypoints for second life bots updatedis one of the most popular add-on for SmartBots bots. It allows writing step-by-step instructions for your bot: walk here, turn, say that etc.

Despite of its simplicity, waypoints editor also allows composing complex instructions: for location guides (take a look in SmartBots office) or even cyborg bowling players (subscribe to SmartBots blog updates for upcoming video!).

For our waypoint professionals, we’ve added new commands to the Waypoints editor:

  • TOUCH – touch a prim
  • KEY PRESS – imitate keyboard press (like bot using a viewer)
  • REPEAT – repeat some of your commands over and over

These commands are intended for advanced users, but they allow creating truly amazing alive bots! Check the Waypoints module in our Store.

Bots Playground updates

Second Life bots programming in JavascriptThis is a repost of a recent DevPortal post. It turned out that lot of SmartBots developers missed that post, so I decided to repeat it here once more.

The Bots Playground has been updated with the following improvements:

  • Scripts now restart automatically
    This is the most important update which relaunches your scripts if Playground server gets restarted.
  • Page controls got refined for 1378×768 screen resolution
    This is the most popular resolution for compact laptops, so we refined page controls: script rename/remove links has been changes; long script names are properly displayed now.
  • Scripts list is now sorted by name
  • Reference links to Playground Commands and Events have been added.

Finally, two new commands are available:

We welcome all developers to try Playgrounds and discuss it in DevPortal forum!
