how to set a bots collor ?

<< < (2/2)

Endy:
You're right, it would be useful to have direct control over a bot's color. Been talked about several times before, but never amounted to anything.

Numsgil:
The reason it was never controllable was the opinion that color was something for human benefit only, and had no meaning above and beyond something like the in/out sysvars in the bots' world.  If we want color, it would need to be something special that's different from in/out pairs.

Endy:
I don't think we would need anything special, we could just use the last three in/out pairs for controlling the inner color. Externally the values would be moded and used for color but internally the numbers wouldn't change. From the bot's pov nothing would be different, but from ours it would be easier to see the bots communicating.

Numsgil:
We could probably hook something like that up for debugging purposes pretty easily.  Allow the user to hook any sysvar up as a color determiner.

abyaly:
I really like this idea.
