One of the weaknesses of the bot subsystem is the large volume of #bot commands that exist. You have to get to know them and making buttons is a must as it does help. Its a necessary evil atm, but I also don't see any reason why that existing interface couldn't be supplemented with something like your script, especially if this script can make that "interface" even more user frieldnly to use. Especially if you do it a way that doesnt destroy the game experience. What I mean by that is when I was in college I had to take a Theater productions class and one important concept I learned in that class was "suspension of disbelief". So if you can make this script so your having a "in game" conversation with your bot to give commands that are relevant to what the bot can actually do and its not overly verbose so using the #bot commands would just be easier, then I think the script has value. I hope I am making sense to you!
