I'm looking to set up a bot in my store that I can use to model my avatars for people who want to see what they look like before they buy them.

Ideally the way I'd like it to work is:

1) Log in, wear a default avatar and idle
2) When someone says in chat vicinity something to the effect of "Modelbot [Avatar name]" it would put that avatar on for an amount of time, then remove it and replace it with the default until asked for another one.

I have a dedicated server myself so ideally I would just like to purchase the code so I can compile the executable myself or something to that effect. I'm PATHETIC at programming though so anything that's going to require a lot of coding will make me sad pants. And make me ask Adam to fix it. Neither of us want that.

I saw some of the hosted bots, but they don't look like they'd be good at switching content out the way I want.

I need to be able to add product names to be modeled as I release new stuff, obviously, so there would have to be a way to do this easily. Perhaps it would read from a config file? I don't know.

Anyone know any place I can get something like this? And barring that, anyone competent enough at programming to do this for me for hire?
