The AI Engine

I know i am not much good in it, but i try my best to make a "call me" add on

Is there any way to compare a memory with another memory?

The AIScript
<?PF if (self-talkedto) is "(name)" ?>
fails unless the self-memory "talkedto" contains a literal entry "(name)". "Mome Rath" doesn't help as entry in (self-talkedto).

My bot takes every command as an insult and I don't know why. Please help

Is there a way to have a value stored as a memory, and then have that value increase if a certain event is triggered multiple times? In other words, could a bot remember how many times a certain action has occurred?

Afaik, there are no numerical memories, that would allow for example to have 4 in a memory and then do something like
<?PF increment (mem-counter) ?>
or
<?PF rem (mem-counter) + 1 as only "counter" ?>
and then having 5 in mem-counter.

(This would be one of my greatest wishes for the next version of AIScript)

If you have only a few numeric values you want to keep track of, you can set the memory as required. Here an example of my bot "/dev/coffee":

[stuff said to a new bot] <?PF if (mem-sessionstate) is "newbot_2"; rem "newbot_3" as "sessionstate"; ?>

If you want to count to higher numbers you can put something like this into your AI Script (here a line from the exported file of my bot)

In the setting AIScript field:

rem "0" as only "goodbye";

in xgoodbye:

rem "(mem-goodbye)1" as "goodbye";

This fills mem-goodbye at the beginning of a chat with "0", and every time the bot gets a goodbye, it count mem-goodbye up in this fashion
0
01
011
0111
01111
...

and the bot does checks like

if (mem-goodbye) is "0111111"

Thank you, Mome Rath! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Quick question, is there a way to make a specific part of a response change depending on a memory? For example, if I want the word "couch" to change to "bed" because of a room change, or do I just have to make separate responses?

When you set the memory of a location, you can set another memory to a piece of furniture in the same line of AI Script. E. g.:

<?PF rem "living-room" as only "location"; rem "couch" as only "furniture" ?>

<?PF rem "bedroom" as only "location"; rem "bed" as only "furniture" ?>

Then you can use responses like

We're sitting on my comfy (mem-furniture) in my (mem-location).

Addenda to the counter:

a) I initiated the counter with "0" because setting a memory to an empty entry fails. (I don't really understand why.)

Even setting a memory to a single character doesn't work reliably, so I recommend to initiate the counter with "00":

<?PF rem "00" as only "counter" ?>

b) Incrementing a counter by

<?PF rem "(mem-counter)1" as "counter"; ?>

works best if you want to respond to any of the last 10 numbers. To make sure your bot responds only to the actual number, use

<?PF rem "(mem-counter)1" as only "counter"; ?>

Another question. How would you increase a bot's development. Is it something to do with the number of possible responses or is it more specific than let. Such as if it has a specific conversation.

Also I've run into a problem where a word needs to be capitalized unordered for it to work in messages. Any solutions?

The amount of responses and the amount of keyphrases increase development. What word? I have never run in to that
