spawning bots via quest.

i'm curious if there is a way to spawn a bot, to help for a limited time, via quest commands? also is there a way to make a generalized bot, to be used for spawning for specific quests only.

thats not a bad idea, but i'm mainly wanting to use them for quests. IE you agree to help X npc, who will join you in finishing Y quest. then afterwards, he poofs. he's just there for the quest, and that is it.

any word from a dev, if this would be viable to put into source?

has this been looked into? or has any dev even seen this post? seems now that bots got implimented, noones taken a second glance at it.

As I understand it, WildcardX's work comes in cycles so he is very busy for long periods and then has free time between cycles. He is the primary dev for the new bot code.

I would suspect that he would like the ideas presented in this thread, but that he probably will not implement such features until more of the basic functionality of the bots has been completed. Currently the AI still requires a lot of work.

If you are in a hurry, the quickest way to get a feature you want implemented is to code it yourself and submit it for inclusion into the codebase.

Hope this helps explain the lack of responses.
