Robots on the server

Those of you who have played on my server will be familiar with the scripts I have running that add and remove robots. The scripts are stable now and clean up after themselves, but before I shelve them as 'done' is it worth adding a number parameter to the trigger to add say between 1 and 9 bots instead of the default 4???

Yes, I have seen Marvin. He is a rather stupid bot compared to my 2.0.3 one, and has a brain the size of a planet sucked into a black hole. The only thing that makes him good is that his depression sometimes kills me.

Zaphod, do you mind divulging what you did to get your bot to work?

well the secret is that there is no secret to it

if you have nobody on your server ::: start your client and give him an autopilot ::: anybody who connects after that can't see the [auto] and is assumed as a player/bot ::: thats it!!!
((i love the comments some player are sending to Marvin

)
but what i would love is to have is a script, that hides the [auto] sign or to set the disablebots command line but still let Marvin run as an autopilot ... anybody an idea to make it work???
