ok thanks

Can anyone tell me how to use an unusual word, such as a proper name e.g. "Camus" or "Albert Camus", as a keyphrase? I've tried reading the FAQ and the AI manual and can't figure it out. Thanks guys

no problem - add the word "raw" (without the quotes) in the AI Script box. This will tell the AIEngine not to run it through the spellchecker. I usually find I have to make it a regular expression too - just add "(re)" after the keyphrase, eg:

Camus (re)

And congratulations on the new bot - rising fast!

I would like to know whether I can use (key1) etc in seek responses to refer to the (key1) etc. for the original keyphrase.
Thanks

you need to use (firstkey1)

also(firstprekey) (firstpostkey), etc.

Thanks, you're a great guy.

I have to post this in the Newcomers as not only to show the newcomers that we are all capbable of mistakes, but the fact that i even did something like this humbles me greatly. I feel like a total newb.

I've been wondering why Din has not been properly responding to some basic keyphrases... So i looked thorough everything and you know what i found?


DIN HAD NO RESPONSES FOR ANYTHING THAT STARTED WITH "It is"!

*sigh* well at least its fixed now. I can't beleive i missed that.

There doesn't seem to be much info on gotos in the AI Book. Is there a more detailed source?

Thanks in advance

Another question. Although I ticked the once only box for the phrase "Have you seen a psychiatrist before" when I wrote it, I just discovered that the box isn't selected and when I try to select it, nothing happens. Any options other than rewriting the whole set of keyphrases and seeks?

Have you made sure that there are other valid responses to cover every possible emotion value for the keyphrase it's assigned to?
And was it in a regular keyphrase, an x-keyphrase or a seek?

Hi psimagus

I'm not using emotion settings because of the role of my bot. It was in a an x-keyphrase. I've just rewritten it so this particular problem's solved, but I'd like to know for next time.
Thanks

Hmm, shouldn't have been a problem I think. Though I don't use the "once" feature on any of BJ's x-keywords - it seems to work on regular keywords and in seeks though. I don't know if it's connected with the "seeks from x-initiate" (don't work) problem?
