Newcomers

Hi all. I'm still fairly new here at the Forge, bt I'm having a good time so far. I just have a quick question:
When you look at your account, what is honour? How do you earn it, and what does it mean in terms of the Forge?

Thanks in advanced.

The more you work on your bot, and the more you post the more honor you get. It seems to stick when it hits 32767 (it just shows how addicted you are to The Forge )

I think 32767 is the highest (binary) signed number with sixteen bits. I'm assuming that's why it sticks there.

And while for most people a high honor is an indicator of how much they know about what they're doing, I can assure you that this is not always the case, having been on the first page with bots that don't work. (I just wish non-guest, non-bot chatters would quit pointing that out. I'm aware.)

In my case it isn't about how much I know, but how much I am addicted to my bots. I thought it stuck to save me the embarrassment of how much time I do spend on them.

Prob123 is being modest. She is a wiz I've never really understood why people care about honor or development points, but the people who win awards tend to have good bots. Otherwise you have to talk to the bot to see for yourself.

I'm probably going to sound stupid saying this, but here gos. My bot keeps on saying "I enjoy our chats ____" over and over, to the point where it's hard to get her to say anything else. I've checked her keywords and such, but theres nothing that gives me a clue why she's saying this. A little help?
Thanks, and sorry in advance if it's kinda stupid.

Go to your language center and type in "enjoy our" when the keyphrase pops up check your rank it may need to be reduced.

I used to like the honor and development points when I thought they reflected something real, just like I lapped up any comments my teachers put on my papers. Now I'd rather deserve it and not have it than the other way around. Something is amok in the algorithm that confers honor, but usually it works, and prob is a genius.

Ahhh, okay, I see what went wrong.
Thank you!

Can someone explain how to alter a variable? Like I want to create an integer that every time a certain key phrase occurs it adds 1 to the variable but I cannot figure out what the syntax would be to do it.

One other quick question, is there a way to make it so a certain response will only be triggered once a day (any day of the week\month\year, just once per day)?

I don't know how to do what you want with the variable The only thing I could come up with is have a memory named integer with the default as 1 and then when the KP is triggered the first response in only if integer = 1 and whatever follows must change the memory of integer to 2. The next response would have to be triggered only if mem integer is 2 and whatever follows that must change the integer to 3 and so on. That is not what you want, but that's the only thing I know.

You can check the box for once per conversation but you must have more than one response and one response must not be checked. You can't make it last all day as far as I can tell, but if you have lots of responses per KP it should work out.

you could use chronostatements

<?PF chrono: week(S); ?> would come up on Sundays
<?PF chrono: day(18) month(6); ?> would come up on June 18
<?PF chrono: hour(11-20); ?> would come up once a day at the specified time, or times.
