The AI Engine

When I use multiple (specific)'s in xfavorite, they're all the same.

Is there a way to have multiple unique (specific)'s in a response or should I just rewrite the responses?

zzrdvark, you can create two different objects in one response, derived from one and the same plug-in, such as (specific). it's really simple:

Response: Yes, i like (specific), but (specific2) is still my favourite.

this rule goes for "Any Custom Plug-In, Universal Plug-In, and AI Engine Plug-In except the date and (definition) plug-ins" (see The Book of A.I. - Bot Development- Advanced for more).

good luck!

Ah, sorry I didn't notice that note in the manual.

Thank you Interzone!

Heh, it doesn't seem to work for (specific2). When I look at the debug, it's replacing (specific) with a (typeof-*) but leaving (specific2) as it is (and then trying to spell-check it).

A keyphrase I have "favorite animal" is getting picked, then getting replaced by xfavorite.

I guess I'll just fiddle with it and end up with what I end up with.

Thanks.

The easiest way is to have a response for the major things people ask like music, movies, food etc. Then one for what is your favorite (*). Then you can have a generic response like My favorite (key1) is the one I don't have yet. Rank the generic one lower than the specific ones.

My experience is that you have to make a copy of (specific) and call it (specific2) (or specific2xxxxx), where xxxxx is your user id. It says in the BOAI that those things like (specific2) will work, but lots of times they won't.

i see now that (specific) is not listed among the plug-ins that can be used twice. that may be the reason why it didn't work - the rule apparently applies only to those plug-ins specifically mentioned in the Book of A.I. - only these, plus any custom plug-ins one creates, can be used twice - this is 100% sure & tested, i make a generous use of the feature.

Oh. Thanks for letting me know. I guess I just figured the whole thing was wrong there.

I've been having trouble uploading StarkRavingMad, so I've been using the on-line language system. Then I see SRM in a conversation w/Fizzy, giving an old filler for the scaffold I had up. First, when the filler was in there, the ranking or whatever was a negative number, so it should never have been triggered except by a goto (I would think). Next, I had fleshed out that section. What gives?

Anybody figure out how to tell Fizzy what the capital of France is without getting a "Try a dictionary" or one of the other "what is" versions? I've put a specific phrase in there to catch this, set it at 127, and is still tells me "that's difficult to put into words" or somesuch.

Never mind. It read this message and the Forge started changing its tune. It works now. It didn't before. I don't get it.
