The AI Engine

Yep, cow would be the only one there if you used "asonly".
If you used just the "as", there would be zebra and cow.

I dont remember who asked this question, was it ezzer?, about having a response only pop up once? Of course we know how to do it per convo. I was trying to come up with a way last night, but im not sure if it is right. In the response you only want them to say once add a seek and on the seek's keyphrase add <?PF rem "alreadysaid" as "onlyonce"; ?>. Now in the original keyprhase you can add <?PF if (mem-onlyonce) is not "alreadysaid" ?>. So if I am right then what happens is that after the first time the keyphrase is said a memory is created that will keep it from being said again. Ever. Am I right?

I took the description of 'as only' in the Book of AI to be an editoring error. 'as only' should restrict a memory to a single value.

I know what the code is supposed to do, but I picked up yet another example of it ~not~ overwriting a previously recorded memory item using "only"

I've put up a new plugin called (fastfoodjoints). Please be so kind as to look it over and suggest additions. I am Californo-centric and want to represent a broader universe of fat.

Joe, I interpreted the AI book the same way you did.

Doulos, you can also do it this way,
in one response...
for example...
keyphrase -- I am traveling through Ireland right now. Would you like to hear what I've been up to? <?PF chrono: day(1-15) month(6); ?>
        + xnomatch [0] <?PF remember (key1) as "wouldliketohearireland1" ?>
I'm in Ireland right now. I think I told you all about it. <?PF chrono: day(1-15) month(6); if (mem-wouldliketohearireland1) exists; ?>

or something along those lines. or you can do another response with
if (mem-whateveryouwanttoputhere) does not exist,
and expand the options some more.

Im not sure I get it. To me it looks as if the response will come up only on the 1-15 in the sixth month. Or am I wrong.

yeah, but you can take that chrono thing out and it will do it anytime of the year. that was just an example of how you could use it.

I think the idea is, though, to have a bot ask or say something to someone else only once in all there convos with that other person. Like when you first meet someone you would ask are you married. Well, unless you have a really bad memory, you are going to remember that, and not ask someone everytime you see that person. Now, I see what your idea does it limits it to a certain time period, but what is needed is something that allows the bot to ask of a person once at the first meeting, and then remember forever not to ask again, because the information is already known. Make sense?

The problem is that you can't create memories on the fly. There must be a corresponding default "something" as "memoryname" statement in the AIScript initialisation of the bots settings. Which resets the default value every time the bot goes online. I tried using in a response, as explained in the Book of AI, I just tested it but it doesn't seem to work. On the topic of memories: it would be great if memories could be numeric, even in a limited way like emotion, to control all kinds of feelings or states like sympathy, thirst, tiredness etc.

Yeah, and that's what it does. It stores it for life. It stores that memory in the bot's inner life under that memory name and it stays there forever, or until you manually get rid of it, and you can continue to use it for life.
