[Opensim-dev] Controlling bots via inworld scripts‏‏

[Domain Admin]

In Opensimulator and correct me if I am wrong you can use C# so that means
you can create your bot inworld and that would be a good way to keep the
process there but yeah i have been making bots for about a year or more now
you use object im to your bot :) llInstantMessage and to recieve you would
use like listen or something.
