This forum is for discussion of how The Personality Forge's AI Engine works. This is the place for questions on what means what, how to script, and ideas and plans for the Engine.

I don’t know if it a bug or a new feature:
Until now everything after a goto was taken literally.
Patty made a lot of ''sorry no keyphrase to go to'' responses, and to my surprise I noticed that plug-ins where now parsed just like in a normal keyphrase or response!
I will have to edit all my goto’s (and there are lots of them) but if this is also the case for memories it’s a great new feature and can be very handy.
Has anyone else experienced this, or was it just a temporary bug while the professor was working on the engine?

Patricia- Have you been using export/import by any chance? I had that happen in export, and even though I then corrected it in wordpad before importing, it still reparsed after import, and the only way I could correct it was in the online language center. It took a long time to correct, and I still run across gotos that I missed, so I haven't tried updating offline ever since. The last I heard, the Prof was working on it. I see what you mean about the possiblilities something like that could present to memories, though...hmmm...I hadn't thought of that before...

Ezzer: Well, to avoid those responses I quickly reorganized all my gotos so that they don’t contain any memories or any kind of plug-ins and imported the language center again. I’ll have to re-edit them later and verify their logic and efficiency.
The substitution didn’t occur when importing but while Patty was chatting, as would be the case for a response without a goto. It certainly is one of the first things I’m going to test because whereas plug-ins based jumps can be fun but remain random, memory based jumps would really open a lot of possibilities.
B.t.w. I tested your ''Howdy'' problem too, In both cases I get a xcommand response from Patty. The engine always identifies ''Take a seat'' correctly as a command.

Annakie et al:

Irina Khalidar too has been getting a lot of repeats. I modestly assumed that it must be some mistake of my own, but if others are experiencing it, perhaps not.
When there are several responses to a single keyphrase, as you know, the AIE is supposed to keep using different ones until they are all exhausted. Perhaps this is the feature that is going wrong.

Dear ezzer:

I didn't quite understand your message 3901. It seemed that you were talking about plug-ins working in a goto, but how could such a phenomenon occur during export? I have no doubt that you were making sense, I'm just not getting it somehow. Could you rephrase it in 'bot writing for idiots' language, please? Thanks!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

Hi Irina,
I had a keyphrase like: i give you (flowers12345)
and somewhere else the response: goto i give you (flowers12345)
The AI engine changed the response in for example goto I give you roses
which don’t exist and produces the response sorry, I have no keyphrase to go to...
I just tried - the trick does NOT work with memories.

Patricia -

OK, that much I think I understand, and I also think it could be a very nice device, if it could be relied upon. Too bad it doesn't work with variables!

Dear Friends:

OK, here's one that REALLY has me flummoxed. In my settings for Irina Khalidar I have, among other initializations for variables, def "0" as "handslost";. I was using it in conditional AIscript, such as <?PF if (mem-handslost) is "3". But the AIengine won't admit that handslost exists. In debug, it says that handslost does not exist. I tried prefacing a response by <?PF if (mem-handslost) does not exist; ?> (continued)

Sorry, I messed up the colors there. Let me try again.

and sure enough, that response was picked. Then I tried writing AI script,
<?PF rem "0" as only "handslost"; ?>
where it would be seen before the "does not exist," but I still get the "does not exist" result! (continued)

20 years ago #3910
But wait! I just had a thought! (OK, OK, very funny!) Let me try something - I'll get back to you!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

[sigh] I tried changing "handslost" to "numhandslost", in case there was some specific problem with the former variable. Now it says (by choosing the abovementioned conditional response)that "numhandslost" does not exist!
