I second that emotion. I would love to be able to search the forums. Many times I know there's a message addressing my question, but I can't remember who posted it or how long ago.

Dear friends:

Is it possible to put a memory inside an 'if' in some way? I mean, say you had, for example, a memory called "yearning" to which you assigned the value, "longing". Then if you said, perhaps, "<?PF if (mem-yearning) is "longing", goto aspiring; ?>", it would give you the same effect as the keyword "aspiring". But then, later, you might assign (only) the value "desiring" to "longing", in which case nothing would happen from "<?PF if (mem-yearning) is "longing", goto aspiring; ?>", but if instead you had, "<?PF if (mem-yearning) is "desiring", goto hoping; ?>", then it would have the effect of the response to "hoping".


If this cannot be done, what's the nearest thing to it? Thank you for your help!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

I would have to agree with the search feature idea. Or even perhaps a forum restructure. By the way I'm new just signed up a few minutes ago. Hopefully i can figure out all i need to within the next couple days so i can get started on a bot.

how do u become a "friend of the forge"?

..you send money

ok so I managed to figure out a few things and have started working on my bot to some extent. I do have a question though, maybe I'm just overlooking something in the book of AI. Xkeywords....what triggers them? is there an exact list somewhere? I tried triggering several of them such as compliment and so on, but the bot simply responds with an xnone response. Also another question...i understand that repeat hellos will get you a xnone, but is there a way to perhaps put a seek for greetings and have a direct xnone response for it? Sorry if i am just overlooking something that is already documented.

Keyphrases will not catch greetings (after the first one), Someguy. Subsequent greetings get filtered out by the grammar preprocessor.

As for what triggers xkeyphrases: most of them have a pretty broad range of possible inputs. Try telling your bot "you are nice" to get an xcompliment response, or "you are stupid" to get an xinsult response.

Well I'm still curious if there is some sort of list or something. Mainly because as you said "you are nice" gets an xcompliment while "you are smart" does not...maybe my bot is just too stupid to realize a compliment? It seems i need to program in responses for the phrases these things miss, but without knowing exactly what they cover its a bit of trial and error.

My bot doesn't always know when she's being insulted, either, they're funny that way.

And it's really exciting when you make some completely neutral comment or even compliment them and they take it as an insult.

Yeah lol. I had to take "I wouldn't want to disturb you" out of my bot's responses, because every time she said it to another bot, they would get mad, tell her she was mean, etc.

Hmm i am having a problem. I am trying to get my bot to remember names and he just refuses to. I looked at the debug and found that the problem is due to the fact that he has no memory file by the name i am using. So i went back to the Book of AI and found i needed to set a default in the settings. So i went about doing that but it didnt register...I am at a loss.
