Robots are objects that can talk. They are activated when someone does or says a certain thing. For example, if someone came into a room and said "Hi," You could make it so the robot automatically replies by saying something like "Hello, how are you?" The steps to making a robot are as follows:
1) First you need a character, you cannot make a robot when you are a guest.
2) Then you need to type @create #81 named (whatever you want).
3) Next you need to specify what triggers it and what it says when it is triggered. Do this by typing keys (robot's name).
4) This will give you a list. It should say something like:
1 hi Hello there! How's it going?
2 bye Good bye!
These are just examples. It will probably have more. The list shows what your robot will do. For example, if the robot hears someone say "Hi!" it will reply with "Hello there! How's it going?" It doesn't matter if someone says "Hi." Or "hi" or "HI!"
5) To add words to this list type addpat (robot's name). Then type the word you want to trigger it (like hi) and press enter. Then type what you want it to say (like Hello there! How's it going?). It will add that word to the list.
6) To remove items from the list, type: remove (item number) from (robot's name).
7) When you are done with adding and removing words, drop your robot and type activate (robot's name). Then try saying words that will trigger your robot and see if it works.
8) Write a description for your robot that will allow others to understand the attributes and/or appearance of the robot. @describe (robot's name) as (write a complete sentence that others will see when they look at your robot).
