Hello. I'm sorta a n00b but, forgive me if this is an unintelligent question, but my bot seems to have problems with all it's xcompliments, and only xcompliments...

Shinesparker: It would help if you'd post an example of these "problems." Without more information, it's hard to say what the trouble is.

His bot is called angel WEAPON, maybe the angel triggers compliments...

If a user mentions a specific animal, such as a tiger, Can i create a wild card or plugin that responds to Only animals? so if he says tiger or bird or Cow, i can respond to that perhaps does a tiger eat grass? Instead of putting (noun) so he doesnt say, does an airplane eat grass?

hey eva one

Jazake: Yes, you can use the (animals) plugin. In the case of tigers, you might prefer the (carnivores) plugin (though I can't vouch for its accuracy entirely - are cassowaries really carnivorous?!??)
You'll find a link to all the plugins at the top of the "My Bots" page. Animals etc. are under "nature".

Yeah i already tried to use the (animals) plugin but it didn't work... (sigh) Well I'll keep tryin then with other plugins, and see if I can work (animals) in other fashions. Thanks! At leat I know im on the right track

Ok I know i get confused easily but this one takes the cake. yesterday I put in more work into my bot, enough to get him from Warm 30 to hot 120 and today i check and his devlopement wend DOWN... how is that possible?

oh and one more thing, why does one of the keyphrase i entered not show up in the language center, i have to go to "search" to find it. is it because the keyphase starts with a number?

IF you add seeks or alot of keyphrases with only one response, your development goes down, same with gotos. If a phrase is in a seek, the language center won't find it and you have to 'search' the hard way lol

I think he's saying the opposite: the 'search' function finds the phrase, but it doesn't show up when he clicks on it page in the language center. I never had that happen using IE, but since I've switched to Firefox it has. I think it's because the default for refreshing the pages is different, but I haven't tried to find a way around it.

Wow, glad that never happened to me!

It's only a problem if I put in a keyphrase and immediately try to go to the page where the phrase should be. Generally this happens to me when I put in a new phrase and have some seeks to go with it. If I wait a while, then it will show up. *shrugs*
