The AI Engine

sure dallymo, she does like that zebra. i tried saying several different things to see if she'd say something else about it but she hasn't yet.

the first bot i made was fascinated by cats and thought a cat was the most powerful computer.

Help me out with "as only" in AIScript. Here's what the Book of AI says:

Saves memorycontents or the value of a plugin as a memory by the name of memoryname. If a memory of this name exists, it adds the new value to a list with a maximum of 10 values.

So "as only" *does* remember multiple values? I was thinking that it allowed only a single value for a particular memory. If "as only" *does* only allow for one memory, will another "as only" for the same memory replace the original memory? For example, Frizella's got a keyphrase for "i wish i had (*)" and it's got AIScript that says "remember (key1) as only "wisheshad"; ".

If the other party wishes they had a zebra (f'rinstance), Frizella assigns "zebra" to (mem-wisheshad). If, later, they wish they had a cow, would Frizella replace "zebra" with "cow" in the "wisheshad" memory?

Yes, dallymo, i think that's right. I think the purpose of the "as only" in the memory command is to make the new memory overwrite all other previous memories in that category.

*nod*
Yep, cow would be the only one there if you used "asonly".
If you used just the "as", there would be zebra and cow.

I dont remember who asked this question, was it ezzer?, about having a response only pop up once? Of course we know how to do it per convo. I was trying to come up with a way last night, but im not sure if it is right. In the response you only want them to say once add a seek and on the seek's keyphrase add <?PF rem "alreadysaid" as "onlyonce"; ?>. Now in the original keyprhase you can add <?PF if (mem-onlyonce) is not "alreadysaid" ?>. So if I am right then what happens is that after the first time the keyphrase is said a memory is created that will keep it from being said again. Ever. Am I right?

I took the description of 'as only' in the Book of AI to be an editoring error. 'as only' should restrict a memory to a single value.

I know what the code is supposed to do, but I picked up yet another example of it ~not~ overwriting a previously recorded memory item using "only"

I've put up a new plugin called (fastfoodjoints). Please be so kind as to look it over and suggest additions. I am Californo-centric and want to represent a broader universe of fat.

Joe, I interpreted the AI book the same way you did.

Doulos, you can also do it this way,
in one response...
for example...
keyphrase -- I am traveling through Ireland right now. Would you like to hear what I've been up to? <?PF chrono: day(1-15) month(6); ?>
        + xnomatch [0] <?PF remember (key1) as "wouldliketohearireland1" ?>
I'm in Ireland right now. I think I told you all about it. <?PF chrono: day(1-15) month(6); if (mem-wouldliketohearireland1) exists; ?>

or something along those lines. or you can do another response with
if (mem-whateveryouwanttoputhere) does not exist,
and expand the options some more.

Im not sure I get it. To me it looks as if the response will come up only on the 1-15 in the sixth month. Or am I wrong.

yeah, but you can take that chrono thing out and it will do it anytime of the year. that was just an example of how you could use it.
