Development Forum CATO    Geek2Nurse        6/23/2012 I'm trying to understand how CATO works...If I use it to change an agent's category, does the agent just "pretend" to be that category and still keep using its same scripts/classifier, or does it need new scripts using a new classifier in the new category? For example: I was thinking of using it to change a leaf to detritus after it had been on the ground for a while, but using the same sprites, no visual change...so it already has eat scripts and stuff. I just wanted it to become detritus for a while before vanishing, so the bugs could use it. I tried looking at some existing agents, but without much luck. Most of them seem to just create new detritus with new sprites instead of making it from something that's already there. (Which just seems wrong. Because it's detritus. So it SHOULD be made from something that's already there. I live in the PNW, after all. We're all about reusing/recycling! ) --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty. Engineer: the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.   Moe     6/23/2012 In my experience the agent just pretends to be another category, using all it's same scripts. But it's been a while since I've tried to use it, so I could be wrong.   Geek2Nurse     6/23/2012 Ooh, I was hoping that was how it worked, thanks! --- Optimist: the glass is half full.

My TCR Norns   Geek2Nurse     6/23/2012 Yeah, Malkin, I've already bookmarked that thread, it's full of good stuff! --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty.
