Author Topic: Manually setting a bots appearance  (Read 5513 times)

My only real complaint I have with the new bot events are the appearance settings. It's good and all, but you can only make the bot have your current appearance with custom. Meaning all the things you could do with appearances with the old Bot events, like the doombot and brick buddy look, are now very difficult if not impossible.

When I use the custom event, however, I look back at the event and it adds all sorts of code and whatnot for the appearance at the end. So does that mean it's possible to manually set up a bots appearance, even beyond what's doable now if you input the right code?

One thing I missed from the old bot events is that you can use it to edit your own appearance.

I agree, the Custom setting should be more intuitive and user-friendly.

^^^ you were also able to hide and unhide nodes.

I would assume that it's possible.

Technically, yes.

Perhaps, but I didn't really appreciate having extremely large amounts of events just to set up a bot's appearance. I like these bot events. If we'd like event's like the old one then we could just make a separate addon for that. Simplicity is important for default work and whatnots.

I like its simplicity, I really do like how it's set up. I just wish there was a way for me to setup a bot (or my own) appearance via events like I want to. I don't want it like the old, where I would have to use dozens of events, but I would like a little more capability

I don't think you get what I'm saying.
