Could someone PLEASE answer this. I'm losing my mind here. Is there a reason I can't use a goto statement as an xnone response? And is there a way to work around this? I wanted to add more than 40 xnone responses until my bot has more keyphrases, so I thought I'd use goto znone1 (etc.) as responses. Alas, this does not work.

Hi LapCat,
Strangely enough, Goto statements just don’t work in xnone.
I use responses, witch can be an introduction to the subject or simply some general Smalltalk - with most of the time only a xnomatch seek.
For example:

Let's talk about something else. <?PF if (mem-lover) is "no"; ?>
        + xnomatch [0]
        goto whateveryouwant topic

It’s a good idea to place a script after the response, as in my example, so the goto is only used in certain circumstances. Nothing prevents you from placing several lines with goto statements in the seeks.

Corwin, whaddya mean 'peroxide fondue' has no chance of occuring in a conversation?

Thanks, Patricia. That's a great way to steer the conversation where I'd like it to go. *runs off to reevaluate xnone responses.*

I eat peroxide fondue for breakfast whenever I can get it!

(looks at above)Oh geeze, I need to add a lot of key phrases!

Uhm, this may be better posted in Newcomers but Hell just flame me to death. I keep having a particular response chosen out of xnone disproportionately to all the others. Is there any way to give just a single response a minus ranking?

Yes, put a "1" there, at least it will only get used once, or give it a peculiar emotional value, highest or lowest

Theres a thought, cool thanks. No way to just tilt the odds though, eh?

...if it isn't that good of a response in the first place, replace it with your favourite xnone... or make sure xnones are hardly ever hit, by maKing key phrases (verb), (noun) and (adj)... gives you basically 120 extra xnones

Okay- thats an interesting angle. Thanks. I will do that.
