68 Gb of hard drive left. My Ram usage went from 75% to 76% when I tried to open it.

Can you guys please try my chatbot for a bit. It would be much appreciated. Its name is The Orange Man. Thanks!!

we are i think.check your transcripts.

@MistressKC I tried chatting with your bot, and mostly it said "I was just born and cant speak well yet." That's my feedback. :/ Feel free to check out the transcripts though.

I need help. My seek options do not trigger when user writes key phrase. The key phrase is "ok". It may sound ridiculous but some people are spamming it like crazy and my bot doesn't know how to answer despite I gave him seeks of what he should answer.

you could use this instead * for your seeks.

Palac, 'ok' is, I believe, covered under 'yes'.There's been a few bugs around those, though they generally don't work as seeks. Does it work if you replace with yes and then try ok when talking to it yourself?

When I put yes as keyword, it works. But as you can clearly imagine, there are infinite numbers of answers you can give for ok, but not for yes.

Also meaning of ok is often different than yes. I I write e. g. "You wake up." Person can write ok, but yes is unacceptable answer, so I need to distinguish between those two. It is even mote important when person reaches unfinished section and writes yes, I definitely don't want my bot to answer: "Can you be more specific?" at that case.

Is there really no way to separate ok as key phrase itself?

Actually there's an infinite number of answers for "yes". When it comes to Seeks, the forge uses "yes" for any affirmative statement, which is why "ok" worked. Yes, sure, alright, ok, of course, certainly, etc. If you have an unfinished section, just put in a placeholder with * and say it's not done yet.

I would probably use an Xnomatch statement for stuff that is essentially "It doesn't matter what you say here, just advance the dialogue".

You might be able to have "ok" as a keyword with a very, very high ranking and get it to trigger, but my experience is that for certain hard-coded stuff, the parser doesn't even evaluate your seeks and just goes straight to the place that it thinks it should.

You should be able to use ok with raw aiscript (so raw in the aiscript box, or <?PF raw ?> if working offline), but that kind of thing, really, is what xnomatch is there for. Catches anything that isn't caught by other seeks. Very, very useful KP/seek for continuing scenes/through stuff.
