Setting Up Upsies! Auto-Play

What Is Auto-Play?

Auto-Play lets your baby bot automatically play with Auto-Play compatible toys and activities without you needing to trigger animations manually. Once enabled, your baby will engage in playtime behavior on its own, at a frequency you control.

Accessing Auto-Play Settings

1. Click your baby bot to open the main menu.
2. Under My Moonbot Account, select [Starries] Upsies Settings.
3. This opens the Upsies! settings panel, where Auto-Play lives under the Auto Chat Baby AI section.

Using a Non-MoonBots Bot?

Upsies! also works with bots that are not hosted on MoonBots. If your bot is not a MoonBot, log in to the bot directly and click Upsies to open its settings page. From there, Auto-Play works the same way described below.

Choosing an Auto Play Type

The Auto Play Type dropdown controls whether Auto-Play is active, and which age category of play behavior your baby uses. By default, this is set to Disabled.

Auto Play Type set to Disabled

1. Open the Auto Play Type dropdown.
2. Select Disabled to turn Auto-Play off, or choose an age category (such as Baby & Toddler) to turn it on.
3. Once a category is selected, your baby will begin playing on its own using animations suited to that age group.

Setting Auto Play Timing (Sit Duration)

Once Auto Play Type is enabled, the Auto Play Timing dropdown becomes available. This controls how long your baby stays engaged in a play session before pausing, letting you match play behavior to your baby's personality.

1. Open the Auto Play Timing dropdown.
2. Choose a duration setting based on how energetic or mellow you want your baby to be during play.
3. Your changes save automatically and take effect the next time Auto-Play triggers.

Tip

Not sure where to start? Balanced is the default setting and works well for most babies. You can always change it later if your baby feels too energetic or too slow to engage.

Turning On Auto-Play In-World

Setting Auto Play Type and Auto Play Timing on the Upsies! dashboard gets your baby ready to play, but you still need to turn Auto-Play on in-world before your baby will actually start playing.

1. In Second Life, click your baby to open the Upsies! Everything Helper menu.
2. Select AutoPlay.
3. In the AutoPlay menu, select Wander. Your baby will start wandering within the set area and playing with Auto-Play compatible toys.

Setting the Play Distance

The AutoPlay menu also includes a Distance option, which sets how far your baby will wander and search for Auto-Play compatible toys while playing. Select Distance from the AutoPlay menu to adjust this range.
