The AI Engine

Can someone clarify the use of the statement <?PF once; ?>? Is the response given once per person/account or once per chat session?

Once per chat session.

If you want an answer to come up only once per person/account, you have to make use of a memory.

OK thanks. The Book of AI isn't really clear on that.

And just to clarify, writing <?PF once; ?> is the same as checking the "1" box next to the response?

I don't use the language center, but yes I believe that is the case.

Does anyone know of a way to make a memory that becomes the specific day that a response was last triggered?

I've tested it - you can put year, month, and day of week into a memory. (A plugin for the day number seems to be missing - I didn't find anything like that in the Book of AI. But you can make use of 31 phrases with the AI scripts "<?PF chrono: day(1); ?>" to "<?PF chrono: day(31); ?>". But that's lots of copy 'n paste ...)

What I didn't find is a way to calculate how many days ago that was.

If a bot is experiencing wacky, unstable emotions, could that be due to some sort of emotion bleedover from another conversation?

I would like to include a sound file in the script, is it possible ?

While I completely understand why it was set up the way it is, I would like the ability to override the AI engine's processing of greetings (hi, hello, etc) after the beginning of the conversation as BLAB, and write my own responses. Is there a way that could be done with rankings?

I would love to get rid of blab.

I don't mind the automatic functions of the AI engine, I'd just prefer to be able to override them.

Could we have keywords like xblab, xrepeat, and xhello2, please?
