change bots appearance without bot events?

[wizzlemanizzle]

ok, so heres the deal; I have been wondering for a while if there was a way to change the appearance of a bot without having bot events, i have thought about it for a while, and the default events happen to be very limiting when it comes to bots, the most you can do is spawn a horse and do somthing to it like kill it, burn it, change the datablock, and a few other very uninteresting things, so is it possible? or am i stuck with that default blockhead looking bot? Maybe badspot could add something to the default to at least change the color of more than its shirt?

Try it.

i have. nothing came up for "change bot appearance no bot events...

I was under the impression that the standard bot only exists when you're using bot events

And no, you can't use bot events if you don't use bot events.

You cant go into the console and edit its appearance or something? at all? i dont know if it works like that, but you know, SOMETHING?

I think there was a default command that allowed you the next time you wrenched a vehicle spawn with a bot on it it would turn into your player,not sure if it was default nor can i remember the command.

i believe you are thinking of /applyav
and that requires Bot Events, as it uses the output event editappearance.
thanks for the input nonetheless :).

to get bot

have horse
onbottouch>bot>changedatablock>standard player


to change appearance
in console
use /getid on the bot and write it down or something
you have to do this every time it respawns

To add/remove body parts:
ALL can work for the entire bot
hideNode(ID, "node");
unHideNode(ID, "node");

To change colors"
setNodeColor(ID, "node", "COLOR VALUES");

If you can't figure out how to do this then you won't be able to.

I was also wondering this.

First, wrench the brick where the bot is spawned.
Second, type /applyav.
Third, respawn the bot.
Change your avatar accordingly.

...if there was a way to change the appearance of a bot without having bot events,...

That thing isn't default.
