So like LBP2 bots?

Want.

I actually had an idea for this once, but didn't remember it till now. :P

For one, this would probably only be able to support default things. It could work out with some add-ons and such, but for the most part it wouldn't be able to support them.

We should make a list of everything that should be supported as far as movements/etc.
I'll start. Maybe the OP could update as this goes along or something.

Quote

Pitch/Yaw
XY movements controls (forward, left, back, right)
Firing Tools
Jumping
Jetting
Crouching
Sitting
Free Look?
Walking
Image Mounting/Dismounting
Emotes? (Alarm, Hug, etc)

Items with a bolded question mark mean I'm not sure how necessary it is to include those, but it would be best that they're included at some point.

*Suggestions:
Automatically match the avatar of the recorder
Automatically stop recording on bot death

If I missed anything (which I'm sure I did), say so.

It should be a command, like, you look at the bot you just spawned and then /botrecord or something, and it should be possible to loop too with some bot record events

I believe me and Tom posted some similar suggestions like this one. We just didn't have the right name for it so we called it "The Timetravel Concept", where we could play with clones of ourselves that are performing the last action we did.

This game uses that exact concept except in a "time travel" setting. When it's really just a Playback of your last game. But the last time this was brought up people merely laughed at the concept. Now everyone is saying what uses it could have. The Irony is delicious.

That's pretty cool, but this has nothing to do with time travel
