Developer Documentation
We’ve made some updates!
Our developer documentation has been reorganised into a new, modern format.
If something appears to be missing, you can still check the previous docs portal.

Welcome to SmartBots Developers wiki!
We consider in-world developers as one of the most important users of SmartBots (we even have a dedicated wiki for you!). The most advanced (and documented) tools are targeted to SL scripters and programmers.
SmartBots provides various ways for developer to control bots, send group invitations, manage notices etc etc.
Bot or group?
There are two approaches to control:
Bot-centric - this means you want to control your bot. Walk, talk, manage groups, talk in groups. This is possible if you own a Personal Bot at SmartBots.
Group-centric - this means you consider the group being important (yeah, there's a bot behind it... but you don't care the location of the bot, its appearance etc).
Ways to write programs for SmartBots
JavaScript, bot-centric:
Bots Playground - hosted sandbox to run scripts to control bots
LSL, bot-centric:
TotalControl library - using llMessageLinked (the easiest)
Bot HTTP API - using HTTP calls (the most advanced)
LSL, group-centric:
3rd Party
Looking for SBSL documentation? SBSL has now been discontinued in favour of Bots Playground.
