Hey everyone, I have a request, would anyone please tell me how AI script works? I'm completely oblivious- I don't even know how to do html lol, but I'd like to take my bot a little further. So if anyone would like to lend me a hand or lay it out for me, message me when you see me on or email me at amaroq38@yahoo

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

A good way to start would be to copy some of the examples straight out of the Book of A.I. Then try modifying them to see what works and what doesn't.

Alright, I'll give it a shot. I figured out how emotional based responces and gender based responces work by reading it so i guess I'll start there. I'm still am sketchy on how to use like 'foodyoulike' and that stuff... i feel like i'm trying to decode the human brain or something, lol

My advice would be to take it slowly, one step at a time. So don't rush in adding AIScript and memories to every keyphrase at once!

None of the individual bits are very complicated but taken all together they can be rather overwhelming.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Why isn't my bot saving transcripts?

Also, AIScript can't tell the gender of non-registered guests, just something to keep in mind

Wolf Child, I'll second the "start slowly" advice, and then I'll add, "Try things out, check out Psimagus' website and re-read the book of AI every so often till it makes sense." I was just like you when I started, though now I know some HTML and I got to the point where I feel I understand the AI script and all the cool things I could do with it if I sat down and did it. If only I were better at the sitting and typing part. Oh well, I can alway wait till someone makes a better offline editor and I can copy and paste more effiecently.

Oky doke, thanks everyone for the advice.

You're welcome

I am curious if the goto 700### statement to jump around the seeks is an AI script? (like could I add it with <?PF ... ; ?> after a statement? or just put a colon after a statement, then follow with the goto?

no - the goto (like hangup) is a command of its own, and if you combine it with any other text, will get printed instead of acted on. If you try to put it in an AIScript tag, you'll just get an error.
If you want the bot to say something, and then goto another response, you'll have to use an xnomatch seek, and put up with the extra round of conversation to trigger it, or duplicate the responses you would have goto'd in combination with the first response. Some duplication is unavoidable.
