A compact small cleaning robot to wander your home area, or public spaces! It keeps the floors clean!

How to use:

Rez the charging dock, and then rez the cleaning robot!
Notice how the robot snaps position to the charging dock.
Pairing of these two works by object description, simply the robot snaps to the matching description charging station, if you want to use multiples, change their descriptions in pairs!

Click the cleaning robot for the main menu dialog to control it!

Start: Turns on the cleaning robot, the cleaning robot will wander around until it has gone far enough, then returns to the charger and shuts off.

Return: Command the bot to return to charger and shut off, autostart will take effect if enabled

Autostart: Automatically start the device after has returned to its charging dock

AutoStart Time: Wait this long at charger before AutoStarting

Color... Opens recoloring menu

AdvOpt... opens the menu for Advanced Options

In the color menu you can change color of the plastic ring on the top, you can input any color you like, by hex code or LSL color code

Advanced Options let you customise more in depth how the cleaning robot behaves, such as how far it can wander, and timer speed

MaxPath: How many return path nodes it will create before following them back to the charger

NodeDist: How far does it have to be from previous node to make a new node, the cap for how many of these nodes are allowed, is set by MaxPath

TickRate: Main timer tick rate, reduce this to make it lag less, but run slower

Distance: How much distance it covers in one tick, reducing timer tick rate will make the robot move slower, as it will cover the same ammount of distance but takes longer time to reach it

Back...: Return to Main Menu

The cleaning robot can clean dirt and dust from two different makers.
It can clean dirt spawned from the Dirty Spawner HUd which is included
It can also clean what the HS50 Compact Sweeper from Black Fox Creations can.

Resizing the roomba may break it, you can customise its color with edit tools as well, you can edit and change the seperate display face if you like.
Future updates may feature some details or use for the display face

How to use the Dirty Spawner HUD:

Use the DirtySpawner to spawn some filth that can be cleaned up by either you or your janitor brigade!
The DirtySpawner has two buttons, and quite simple to use! Click the "..." button for menu, here you can pick what you want to spawn, how big the splotches can get, and additional parameters such as color for blood.
Click the button on the left, and it will spawn the filth where your camera is pointing at.
You can enable mouselook clicking mode, then go into mouselook and left click where you want your filth to be placed.

If all the options arent enough on the DirtySpawner, you can also modify the filth it rezzes!
You can link filth together to reduce prim count, as long as they are the same kind of filth, (blood, scorch, dust, etc)
While it doesn't reduce script count, it will reduce script load, as now one script in the root prim handles all the cleaning process.

(If it really bothers you, you can also remove the scripts in linked filth. Select the linked abomination, right click it, click edit, checkbox out edit linked parts, unselect the root prim, go to Build>Scripts>Remove Scripts from Selection, and done. Just don't unlink it again, or else you'll rot in uncleanable filth!)
