AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD
Description
An avatar was added as a neighbor.
Notes
This event can be received for avatars that come within neighbor range of an instance. Instances that do not have public speaker capability also have a limit to the number of neighbors they can have.
In order to receive the event, an instance must first announce its position by calling aw_state_change at least once, or enter the world in global mode.
It is possible for this event to be triggered repeatedly for the same avatar, without an AW_EVENT_AVATAR_DELETE occurring in between the events. This situation arises when an instance reconnects to a world after being disconnected. To avoid duplicate avatar entries in a session-tracking table, clear all entries when an AW_EVENT_WORLD_DISCONNECT occurs.
Some methods, like aw_say and aw_whisper, will only work on neighbors.
