Is it possible to have a bot place green at a certain coordinate on a map? For instance, if I wanted to make a small box (5x5), and then have the bot spawn greens inside of that box (3x3) by setting the center location (the 1x1 at center of the box), and setting a radius of green (like a radius of 2, so it makes it 3x3)? Actually I just want to know if it's at all possible to spawn green at coords around a map.

TIA

If so, where could I get such a bot, or how would I get one that could do something to that extent?

TIA

Yap, Yap.
Unless you can somehow have a 'bot able to manipulate the server...can't see it happen.

You can make the entire arena at J12 and enclose it around then have all the greens spawn around there...

Have some lvz greens where you want them to appear, when the player flies over them use a bot that will detect from the coords and *prize them.

Wouln't that create a strain on the computer running the bot as well as incude unnessecary lag as the bot keep scanning for those greens? (and he will want to have more than 5 of them I presume).

The bot would merely prize a ship that enters a certain area. The greens would be just an optional icing on the cake...though it wouldn't quite look like you pick them up like real greens. It might be better to just label the area "repair bay" or "upgrade bay" etc and make it look hip.

Yeah, I didn't really want them to be able to just sit on the area and keep getting prized over and over. I was looking more for a quick pick-me-up of bounty on a large map. However, that sounds like a good idea.

Thanks Akai.

Oh and Gravitron, I'm a she. Hence the signature "Katie".
