Seasons

PS It's not abuse--it's development! PF 2.0 and all that (unless it bothers the prof and then I'd stop--seeing as I'd have no choice)

OK Pis, what line do I add to make them reset between each guest chat? I' don't' see it in the book of AI (sorry if I missed it).

Just fill each memory with a blank in the AIScript Initialization box in the bot's settings:

default "" as "nickname";
default "" as "hasdog";
default "" as "likesShakespeare";

etc.

You don't even need to use the {?PF tags if you do it there, rather than in xhello/xintroduce

Even though the IP number doesn't change, the AIEngine will re-initialize these when any new conversation starts.

but, if I understand you correctly, it will be a clean slate - it won't carry anything over from previous chats with the same person.

yes. Wasn't that the intention, Bev?

Yes, that was what I wanted. I'll try it, but I don't understand why default "" as "name" resets when default (name) as "name" doesn't. The way I have it set up now, guest153 stays the last mem-name recorded until someone says "I am not QM, I am KZ"

I see. I thought you wanted continuity for each guest.

that would be very difficult. But this would at least avoid memories trailing across a succession of visitors (all with the same "Guest153")

(name) isn't a user-editable memory - it's a plugin that takes a defined value from the AIEngine. So default "" as "name" won't work. My solution is to make all references to mem-nickname instead. It starts off defaulting to (name) as "nickname" (because the Guest153 problem is more recent, and I haven't got round to adding conditional filters to deal with them simply,) but can be changed if people say "call me..." or "my name is..."

The way I have it set up now, guest153 stays the last mem-name recorded until someone says "I am not QM, I am KZ"

I'm very surprised even then that it will change, but it would be considerably more stable to use a different memory name.

Excellent - thanks! I must update the link on BJ's webpage (and I might grab another copy to play with - can't find the copy I had.)

WOW! LOOK WHAT I GOT
