Personality

Thanks, Eugene! I made a higher-ranked keyphrase and now she's being a little more polite. I'll have to watch her transcripts and do the same thing for other phrases when I see her getting snippy again.

Here's a related question: is it possible to create a keyphrase that allows her to skip xcommand if the apparent command includes "please"? I don't want her to use her "Try a little sugar" line if the request was made politely in the first place. Can an AIScript for a particular xcommand response specify that it's only used in the absence of "please"?

Why not just write a keyphrase for "please * (verb)" -- and another one for "(verb) * please" ... That wouldn't take very long, and if it's ranked high enough it should trump xcommand.

Perfect! Frizella's manners just improved tremendously.

Outside of xgossip, is it possible for a bot to refer to someone she knows? Like, if someone says "I ate a hotdog" is it possible to have a keyphrase "i ate (adjartnoun)" and a response like "Really? (person bot knows) ate (key1) and got a terrible rash on (hisher) (bodypart-outside)."

Or can she only refer to people she knows through xgossip responses?

**edited message to put "(person bot knows)" back in after it got stripped for using pointy brackety less-than thingies**

Hi dallymo!

I think you might be able to use (friend) in there. But I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure.

"(friend)" will work there, but I haven't been able to get pronouns to work right with it, as I recall.

If I have a keyphrase for "I have a dog" and I wanted my bot to remember that, what kind of AI script could I use?

I tried: rem as "hasdog" but it was not a valid entry.

<?PF rem "yes" as "hasdog"; ?> should do it.
I love dogs. <?PF if (mem-hasdog) is "yes"; ?>
I love cats.

Duh! *smacks forehead*

Thank you so much, Joe!!

This might be a dumb question but...

If I make the following keyphrases:

"You are trying"
"You are trying *"

Would the use of the wildcard at the end make any difference?

Right now, I'm only using the first one and I'm including (postkey) in some of my responses.

(I'm assuming I'd have to use (key1) and (postkey) if I were to use the 2nd one. But, is it necessary to have both?)

for the first, "You are trying", you would need to use (postkey) to get "Hard" from "You are trying hard".

for the second, "You are trying *", you would use (key1) to get the same thing. I don't think (postkey) would give anything in that case.
