Avatar Attributes

[betancourtb82]

I'm trying to create an array of avatars, each with a different set of attributes (body, face, name, etc.). I'm thinking of developing a class that has these "attributes" as shown below:

class Person(object):
	self.name = name
	self.enemy = enemy
	viz.add(body)
	viz.add(face)

Using these attributes, I'm thinking of putting each "person" into an array, based on their name. Can I have some pointers on how to do this. I'm kind of stuck.

Hi,

Take a look at the following thread. It describes how to creat your own class that inherits from an avatar:

Also, if you want to access avatars by name then you should create a dictionary instead of a list. Here is an example:

name_dict = {}
name_dict['Bob'] = viz.add('male.cfg')
name_dict['Jane'] = viz.add('female.cfg')

name_dict['Jane'].translate(0,0,3)
