The AI Engine

The AI engine will cover for "what" questions if you don't have a keyphrase for it.
A story bot will break with the story if people repeat the same answer like "yes" more than once. I don't think there is a way around it.

After reading that.. maybe you should!

lol its distuvered me since i did not programme it and i have no idea what happpenned..
it kind of shocked me.

There has been a bot bleed over happening. You might want to contact the professor

While you are at it.. let him know I am still stuck with this avatar pic since January!

ok thanks

I can't seem to override the engines built-in handling of "do you want my ..." behavior. I even tried setting its rank and emo. ridiculously high. Is there any way to do this?

Setting the emo high won't help you; then the bot will only use that response if it's really happy. Try setting the emo to 0 and the rank high. It still may not work all the time, though.

Thanks, Eugene. Yeah, that was just a last, desparate attempt to get the behavior I wanted. I already tried various high/low combinations for rank/emo, but it never matches up. I tried creating a new bot with only a single "do you want my ..." phrase. It would not even match the exact phrase. I the debugger, I didn't even see where it tried. It just went straight to the built-in response that is based on its current emotional state.

I wonder if raw mode with AIscript would work...

Some times you can make a regex with raw. Sometimes there are just keyphrases the AI engine will not let go of . I think that do you want my and do you wnat me are one of these that just go to something like Oh yeah you are a good friend. no matter what you do.
