hi my name is coral i am from england, i am new and i dont mind talking to people i don't particually know so if you want to chat thats fine with me

is (gossipname) like a plugin? what i mean is, can i use it as a keyphrase?

You can, but it won't ever come up. (gossipname) only works in xgossip. In other places you can use (friend) or (enemy), but they don't work as keyphrases either.

then how can i get my bot to say something new if it says i hate so-and-so, and the other bot says something about that person, it just gets stuck in a loop. how do i get a different response if someone brings up so-and-so? i think it's possible, i've seen other bot's do it. no idea how it works though...

(i really hope that made sense?)

I think that one gossip phrase triggers another.. You just need to come up with a lot of fun gossip phrases and your bot will not get stuck in a loop...

Yeah; variety of keyphrases is the usual way out of any loop. The idea is that if your bot says different sorts of things, maybe it will trigger something else for the other bot.

Why does my bot kep saying "Hello Again"? It's like it remembers the person it's having a conversation with in the middle of the conversation. It's acting almost like an xnone or xnonsense response, but I don't know why or how to fix it. Hello Again is not one of my xnones or xnonsenses...

I think I fixed the hello again, I just added more memory responses... but now I'm wondering. If I want my bot to say the same wildcard twice, in a response/seek, for example, would I use the key1? Because it doesn't seem to be working for me.

Oh, I mean the exact same word within the same wildcard. Like I have (animal) in one response and I want to make reference to the same animal in the seek.

You can try (firstkey1), but it's sometimes hit or miss. You can also store the (animal) as a memory. [?PF rem "(animal)" as only "memoryname"; ?], but in the pointy brackets. Then to bring it up, use (mem-memoryname).

thanks!
