Xelagot verbal commands

Follow, Join, GoTo

Use these commands to make the bot follow someone. Follow and Join work somewhat differently: when following, the bot tries to stay at a specific distance of the target; joining adds a relative positioning to the target (to the left, to the right). GoTo makes the bot go to a specified target and then stop there.

• follow me
• join me
• come here
• come back
• follow name
• join name
• go to name
• goto name

Sometimes when you issue a command, the bot may not want to obey. It gets confused if you say, for example: follow Mermaid. In those cases, use the following commands:

• follow: name
• join: name

Modifiers: use these commands to regulate the bot's random movements. NB: up to X1 2.9999955, Av99bot 1.70, the rotation (yaw) of the bot relative to the yaw of the target when joining can not be changed using verbal commands: X1 can use the Follow and Join selector (World item Follow and Join) for this. The specific commands for join are in green.

• hurry
  forces fast pace
• slow down
  forces slow pace
• keep left
  sets the position of the bot at 90 degrees to the direction the target is facing
• keep left at degrees
  sets the position of the bot at specified degrees to the direction the target is facing
• keep right
  sets the position of the bot at -90 degrees to the direction the target is facing
• keep right at degrees
  sets the position of the bot at specified degrees to the direction the target is facing
• rotation degrees
  rot degrees
  sets the rotation (yaw) of the bot relative to the yaw of the target. Positive numbers are 'outwards', 0 is same yaw as target, negative is 'inwards'.
• stay at metres
  sets the distance the bot stays from the target
• level
  sets to zero the altitude relative to the target
• level metres
  sets the altitude relative to the target
• level up metres
  sets the altitude relative to the target
• level down metres
  sets the altitude relative to the target downwards: level down 3 is the elegant equivalent to level up -3
• set step metres per second
  sets the step used by the bot when moving in slow pace

As from version 3.430, the following terrain sensing commands can be used for follow, join and goto:

• clamp
  sets terrain sensing ON, using the minimum and maximum heights already defined
• clamp metres metres
  sets terrain sensing ON, redefining the minimum (first number) and maximum (second number) heights. If the maximum is smaller than the minimum, the bot ignores the maximum, i.e. it will never go below the minimum, but is free to go above it
• clamp metres
  sets terrain sensing ON, redefining both the minimum and maximum heights to the number specified (full clamp to that height)
• unclamp
  sets terrain sensing OFF

Stop commands:

• stop! - stops most motions
• stop here - same
• stay here - same
• stop looking - to stop the bot looking at or avoiding someone

Notes:

Any command that sets a different motion pattern cancels a previous pattern, except that Random and Blimp motions don't cancel a Follow/Join motion, but combine with it (at present, Blimp doesn't comply fully)

If you are running the bot and the AW Browser on the same computer, the bot will attempt to read the browser's title-bar if it loses track of you while following you. See Tracking the browser for more details.
