Help setting up a bot

[Mother Mystic]

Heya,

 

Not a clue where to place this question so I'm going to try here. lol

First time using an alt for more than creating pretty usernames and I intend to use it as a bot. I have no idea how to make it move around on its own, be logged in at all times, follow me or even talk back a couple of lines.

I've seen it done in various clubs before, but basically I have zero clues about how bots work. Someone hold my hand and explain why I'm dumb please?

 

Thanksss

Wait but if I keep it on my land, LL log home, won't it increase traffic and therefore be forbidden? lol so confused

From the Linden Homes Covenant:-

  *Linden Homes do not include traffic tracking."

So traffic doesn't come into this at all.

Awesome. Alright. I just need to figure out how to bring it to life then. lol Thank you ^^

Register your bot-alt as a scripted agent and end any worries you might have about illegally gaming your traffic count.

To keep it logged in at all times you can either run it on a computer you own that's always on, or you can subscribe to a bot hosting service that runs it for you on their own computers. But don't expect to find a free bot hosting service. One consideration is the need to relog after a region restart or a viewer crash. A hosting service should do this for you automatically. There used to be a text only viewer that also had this feature, but that's long gone. I don't know of any current viewers that will let you do that, but I'm not that familiar with most current viewers.

Moving around and following you are things that can be done using scripts.

Talking can be sort-of faked (but easily seen-through) using scripts. A bot-orientated viewer (if one exists) could do this, and may even be able to interact with IMs. A bot hosting service might also provide this facility.

I have an avatar that I would like to do the same thing with.  I want it to send group notices to selected groups.

So, follow the link that Alwin put in his post above, a year ago.  ☝️
