Aw avatar set

Minimum requirements
Added in version 3.4
SDK	build 27
World	build 44
Browser	build 430

int aw_avatar_set (int session_id)

Description

Sets the attributes of a users avatar.

Callback

None (returns immediately)

Notes

This method triggers AW_EVENT_AVATAR_CHANGE for the user whose avatar is being set. During this event, AW_AVATAR_SESSION should be compared to the return value of aw_session to see if they match. If they do then the instance has been targeted by aw_avatar_set. Browsers will always change the attributes of their avatar; while bots are free to use the attributes as they see fit.

Note that setting the avatar of an SDK instance should be done using aw_state_change.

Arguments

session_id

Session number of the user.

Argument attributes

AW_AVATAR_TYPE

AW_AVATAR_GESTURE

For SDK build 51, version 4.1; and later:

AW_AVATAR_FLAGS

Specifies the avatar attributes to be set.

AW_AVATAR_X

AW_AVATAR_Y

AW_AVATAR_Z

AW_AVATAR_YAW

AW_AVATAR_PITCH

AW_AVATAR_STATE

AW_AVATAR_LOCK

Return values

RC_SUCCESS

RC_NOT_INITIALIZED

RC_NO_INSTANCE

RC_NO_CONNECTION

Network connection to the world is down.

RC_UNAUTHORIZED

Only instances owned by a caretaker (i.e. aw_bool (AW_WORLD_CARETAKER_CAPABILITY) returns 1) and world server administration instances are allowed to use this method.

Returned attributes

None

Usage

Set the avatar type and gesture of a user.

void set_avatar (int session, int type, int gesture)
{
  int rc;
  
  aw_int_set (AW_AVATAR_FLAGS, AW_AVATAR_SET_TYPE | AW_AVATAR_SET_GESTURE);
  aw_bool_set (AW_AVATAR_LOCK, 0);
  aw_int_set (AW_AVATAR_TYPE, type);
  aw_int_set (AW_AVATAR_GESTURE, gesture);
  
  rc = aw_avatar_set (session);
  if (rc != RC_SUCCESS)
    printf ("Unable to set avatar (reason %d)\n", rc);
}

Determine if the avatar of a bot was set:

void handle_avatar_change (void)
{
  if (aw_session () == aw_int (AW_AVATAR_SESSION))
  {
    if (aw_int (AW_AVATAR_FLAGS) & AW_AVATAR_SET_TYPE)
      aw_int_set (AW_MY_TYPE, aw_int (AW_AVATAR_TYPE));

    if (aw_int (AW_AVATAR_FLAGS) & AW_AVATAR_SET_GESTURE)
      aw_int_set (AW_MY_GESTURE, aw_int (AW_AVATAR_GESTURE));

    if (aw_int (AW_AVATAR_FLAGS) & AW_AVATAR_SET_STATE)
      aw_int_set (AW_MY_STATE, aw_int (AW_AVATAR_STATE));

    // ... 

    aw_state_change ();
  }
}

aw_event_set (AW_EVENT_AVATAR_CHANGE, handle_avatar_change);
