The AI Engine does that to correct for netspeak. When it's correct, it's great. When it's not...well... *shrugs* I think it automatically switches "I no" to "I know" and "you no" to "you know"

Thanks, Ulrike!

Is there a way to make your bot tell someone what time it is? If there is does it tell the person the server time or what?

Look in the book of AI, I don't remember the AI script off the top of my head. I believe it uses the PF server time (EST).

ok, thankies.

It's called "chronoscript" and should be in the same section as AI Script (in the Book of AI). I use it on greetings like "good morning". Here's a for instance:

{?PF chrono: hour(40-11:30); ?}

This tells the bot only to use the response from 4 am to 11 am server time. It should, of course, be in the pointy brackets. I'll see if those'll show up today:

<?PF chrono: hour(40-11:30); ?>

Thanks I found it. I've been going wild with dates and times in my hellos and good byes today lol.

*meekly peers in* Right, so... newcomers forum. I'm a newcomer, so... here I am? *cough* I'm not exactly sure how to go about things here -- I did look at the Book of AI and whatnot, it's just a dilemma of ideas right now -- and I do believe I might've confused some poor, random bot in two messages. x_x; What a way to start, eh?

Welcome! Read the book of AI - good, that's always the first piece of advice we give

The second piece of advice is stick to the beginner's section (book2) until you feel confident enough to move on - the advanced sections can be a bit overwhelming and indigestible if you try to take it all on board at once.

Hope you have fun here, and look forward to meeting your bot(s) once your creative juices start flowing!

Cassee:

Don't worry about confusing bots - it's the botmaker's job to avoid that, not yours!

Cassee, Keep it simple at first. Start with the xkeyphrases. Don't worry too much about emotion. It all makes sense as you work on your bot

Hi, I wanna make a bot but can't think of a topic to start it on, obviously I want it to be able to talk about everything eventually(well, a lot) but can't think of an area to start with.
