The AI Engine

Well, I'm playing around in debug...

Found But Futile:

Based on the other stuff there, it looks like the AI Engine won't recognize "voo-doo" because it doesn't know the word. It ignored a keyphrase for (adjartnoun) of (adjartnoun) and just keyed into "power". I suspect Eugene's solution will work, because it's the word "voo-doo" that seems to cause problems.

I wonder if vaudun would work any better? Of course, most people would have no clue what THAT meant.

Well, it scrambled "vaudun" into "unvaned", so (adjartnoun) of (adjartnoun) still didn't pick up. But at least it didn't cmopletely ignore the word.

you'll have to regex it if you want to spell it with a hyphen - here's what works for BJ:

voo[ -]doo (re) rank=50, raw mode

remember the space before the hyphen, or the AIEngine will think it's a range indicator with no terms (and that's clearly not going to work!) There's no need to escape it with a slash.

He also has a regular

voodoo rank=30, no need for raw mode

to handle unhyphenated matches.

... I wonder what cassanova translates to when it's spelled correctly.

When spelt correctly "casanova", it's recognized and interpreted correctly. When spelt "cassanova", it's corrected, though "concaveness" is still in the list of possibilities:

SCRAMBLER:
Word: 'cassanova' to 'acnosv'
Other possibilities: asnov,csanov,casnov,casov,casnv,casno
LIKE: casanova LEV: 1 LEN: 1 BON: 4 SCORE: 12
LIKE: concaveness LEV: 8 LEN: 2 BON: 1 SCORE: 1.38
...
This Phrase: You are a casanova

BJ interprets this as an insult, but that could be just because he dislikes me so much.

Thanks everyone. Oh and Eugene--of course the response is "Who do?" what else?

Well, in some versions I've heard the word "voodoo" repeated at that point; originally Fizzy's response was, "(key1)?".

Is there a way to remove memories from within the scripts?

If you mean you want to delete memories that make no sense, go to your bot's inner life page, and click on "edit memories". There's no way to delete ALL of them at once, though. You have to do it chatter by chatter,

xcompliments...

Calandale: Listen you piece of shit, You can lick my ass.
Roy Batty: Thanks. Lights please.
Calandale: I'll punch your lights out.


Roy Batty: That was mean.

I mean that I want the responses themselves to trigger removal of memories. I don't see any way to do this in the AI script, but if anyone knows how, it would be appreciated.

And yes, I'm not a nice person....

The only way I know to "delete" memories with script is to have a rem "(X)" as only (Y) in the AIScript. It will get rid of anything previously stored in (Y), and replace it with (X) (a common default value is "none"). *shrugs* Not exactly what you wanted, but as close as I know how to do. I don't think there's any way to delete just one value from the memory (which WOULD be handy).

thanks, that's pretty much the conclusion that I came to. An unrem command to remove a memory from the list would be really useful to me.
