OkinaPerhaps someone has done something similar to this, a script to start multiple clients: https://pastebin.com/zcG8fNDY01:38
OkinaI'm unsure of how to "activate" the next client, while the previous instance is "active".01:39
OkinaAny tips?01:39
OkinaThis would optimize a lot of my work when requiring multiple "players" to be "present" for testing purposes.01:40

blast007depending on what exactly you need, there are also solo bots which you can add with the -solo option to the client (as in, 'bzflag -solo 10' to add 10 solo bots when you join the server)02:21
blast007what are you meaning by 'activate' though?  talking about autopilot and/or spawning?02:22
*** The_Noah <The_Noah!~The_Noah@47.185.206.30> has joined #bzflag02:23
OkinaSimply to cycle to start the next client.02:24
Okina(Solo bots have been used previously, but not to satisfactory conditions.)02:25
Okina(So start client, start client, start client..etc)02:26
Okinavs now, which is "start client", pause, if client closes, "start client".02:27
*** ukiki <ukiki!ukiki@2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe70:30aa> has quit IRC (*.net *.split)02:27
Okina(Spawning and autopilot were handled in one patch by Teppic some time ago.)02:28
OkinaMainly I'm doing some plug-in tests and it is excessively tedious to start multiple clients and solo bots may or may not provide "actual" behavior.02:28
OkinaEspecially with flag/shot handling.02:28

blast007I imagine that exec() is going to wait for the external program to stop, so it'll never start the second client until you quit out of the first.03:16
blast007a shell script is probably a better option03:16
blast007there you could background the process by adding & to the end of the line03:17
blast007I *think* that would make it continue on with the script03:17
