we desperately need a bot event but it's hard to explain

i'd like to be able to fight a bot and randomly during the fight (with events) the bot will move to a predetermined area, switch weapons, gain health, change appearance, etc., without having to respawn + change events or use timers.

i think it would be close to an onrelay with a bot output. is this possible?

So basically what you want is for bricks to be able to send commands via relay to bot holes?

Bump. Should I stop bumping?

Ok, so I was thinking; we have some pretty good modders in the BL community. But hardly anyone releases a fun, feature rich addon that's not a tool. For example, the duplicator has a ton of options, but... It's just a building tool. It doesn't add dynamics or extra customization to gameplay. However, things like my vehicular impact damage support add something new and interesting to the game (not bragging or anything, just the only addon I could think of off the top of my head). While it's not really feature rich, it adds something to the game that, as far as I know, never existed before. This is what we need to add to BL to keep it always new and exciting. Quality over quantity, basically. Great if you can do both; more power to yah. Got an idea for an exciting addon? Then make it! Think of an awesome new feature later on that could be added? Then don't hesitate to make it a feature! Addons are likely half of the driving force behind Blockland's continued gameplay.

Disclaimer: Not saying stop making single feature addons. We still need bricks, sounds, skyboxes, normal vehicles, etc. We should just all leave our minds a bit more open to what can be accomplished in Blockland. It is a sandbox game, after all. :)

Vehicle collision is improved when you use a custom collision DTS. I've remade all the default large cubes to use one and they work a whole lot better. now on my TDM people don't fall through the ground as often.
