Bug Stomp

Ummmm, what about a Doctor level bot? Would there be any missing transcript for him?

Example:
Dax: (to emm_oh_you_es_e) can you read all right?

I know Dax initiated (or tried to initiate) conversation with emm_oh_you_es_e but here is the weird thing I can't figure out.

I searched and that response was not only in any of my initiates but it wasn't in any of my keywords.

I also checked the potential of plugins, but I have no keywords with "can you (plugin)".

So I looked in Dax's memory, and he has no memory of reading and emm_oh_you_es_e.


What's up with that????

Assuming I have a keyphrase called "zjoke", is there any reason why the command, "goto zjoke" isn't working?

If it's in xnone, a goto won't work. I've petitioned against this behavior in the past.

shouldn't you only come to xnone if there is nothing to make sense? I think a keyphrase is per definition not in xnone

You should be able to put "goto zjoke" in your xnone section. That way, one of your bot's responses to a line he didn't understand would be to make a joke.

...or put the joke straight as an xnone, although I understand what you're saying. Still, 40 different xnones should be more than enough?

40 different xnones is not enough. Not for my tastes, anyway. And putting the joke directly into the xnone is not nearly as fun as having 10 different jokes that could be called randomly by pointing to zjoke.

I remember now. The reason goto commands aren't allowed in xnone is because the receiving end might be expecting a (subj), which xnone can't provide.

I'm totally lost now. In xnone there is room for 40 sentences/replies. So: BotA --> BlaBlaBla BotB (Doesn't "see" any key phrase) --> goto Xnone --> takes one of the 40 replies, randomly.
Now, everybody has different Xnones, containing all kinds of words, so how can you say that an Xnone "can't"
provide a (subj)? That totally depends on the bot the Xnone-bot is talking to I think.

No, (subj) comes from input by whoever the bot is talking to. It is determined based on keyphrases; e.g. right before or right after the keyphrase. If the input has no keyphrase, then no (subj) gets defined.

than only if the Xnone is something like: huh? Or hmm..
...and most Xnones are complete sentences, like: I haven't a clue what you're talking about. Or: let's talk about something else etc etc

There are times when subj is lost in other keywords anyway, so I say let the botbuilder beware, but give them the power. If I use xnone to point to a set of responses that I know don't have (subj) in them, I'll be fine.
