That's emotional gossip about Julie Tinkerbell. The idea is that you could say "I'm going to buy you that (mem-youwant)" and it'll be what the gossip target wants. Maybe there's a place for xgossipemotion.. But that could also be taken care of by using <?PF if emo > 2; ?> AIScript in gossip..

xemotes in gossip form are also used to auto-answer "who is Midnight Blue" type questions..

Thanks Prof! I'm fixing her up as I type. Almost, if I had 4 hands and two computers I could.

Will go now and stop babbling... Thanks again!

Just another quick question, Prof. Would that explain calling Desti that as well? They weren't even talking about Julie...

Only if she has that nickname for Desti. I've just come up with a bunch of ideas to improve the gossip/emotion system, so I'll take care of that and a bunch of other stuff in a week or so.

Nope. Only JT has it.
Thanks again, Prof. Sorry to be a pain. I know you work your tush off.

The (key1) is not being inserted here:

human: Well, I'm underage. And I'm from England.
Love Agent: Oh, is nice I hear in the spring. But where do you live now?

The keyphrase being triggered here is:
I am from * , I grew up in *

The response is:
Oh, (key1) is nice I hear in the spring. But where do you live now?

You might try changing the keyphrase to "I am from (*)" or "I am from" (in which case the response would refer to (postkey) rather than (Key1).) I suggested the former first because of the current discussion about (postkey) not being reliable in some cases.

That's actually correct.

There's really no point to having a * at the end of any Keyphrase. That's a soft wildcard, and will always be blank when used at the end. (postkey) was made to contain the part of a sentence that follows the Keyphrase.

To understand the soft wildcard, it is built to match as little as possible. This is known as being "ungreedy", and it was very specifically built that way. Take a look at this example:

Keyphrase: i like * the
Sentence: i like the way the cat feels.

Since the soft wildcard is ungreedy, the Keyphrase will match "i like the" instead of matching the SECOND "the" in the sentence, which would be "i like the way the" and would lead to all sorts of unforseen results.

Does that make sense?
