well congrats on signing up though now bots can remember you much easily

Is there any way to defeat the program going to xcommand when you don't want it to?

E.g. I have a keyphrase "show me your X". But when a user actually inputs "show me your X", it usually (but not always) goes to xcommand instead of the keyphrase. What's weird is that some types of objects X the engine will go to the correct keyphrase, but others it goes to xcommand, and there doesn't seem to be any logical reason why it chooses one way or the other. It seems like if it decides to go to xcommand there is no way for it to check anywhere else... even if I have no valid xcommands available, then it just says that rather than checking the rest of the script.

Ideally I'd love to just disable xcommand entirely since it seems to overwhelmingly cause more problems than it solves, at least in my implementation, but there doesn't seem to do be any way to do that.

My guess is that you could 'disable' xcommand by making the only response "goto whatever the ID for xnone is". But it should be hitting your keyphrase before trying xcommand, so I'd take a closer look at that seek.

It's basically a nothing keyphrase. There's no scripting or anything involved. I can reproduce the behaviour with this simple system:

Keyphrase: Show me your hand
Desired Response: Here's my hand.
Unwanted Xcommand: You screwed up.

User: Show me your hand
Bot: Here's my hand

Works fine....

Keyphrase: Show me your hands
Desired Response: Here's my hands.
Unwanted Xcommand: You screwed up.

User: Show me your hands
Bot: You screwed up.

Looking in the debugger, in the latter case it seems to go here:
command: show
Limiting to 'command' macros
subject: me

whereas the former doesn't.

[edit]I'm pretty sure I've had the same error appearing in seeks as well, not just keyphrases.

I get a different result, but it's also wrong. For me, "show me your hands" gets caught by "show me your hand" so I see the same response for both of them.

Why are you so boring

Why does this website have so many issues? Half the time when talking to a bot it just says request failed... Then I have to initiate again.

There isn't a way to change our profile pics right? I want a different one then my bot

Also , does anyone know why my bot tells people 'I was just born and cant speak well yet.' even though i've already filled in the xnone and x nonsense responses?

Right above the message box here you'll see "Many questions are answered in the FAQ", there's contact info there for changing your profile picture. Though it depends if someone is around and willing to do it for you.

I don't think benji checks his emails anymore. I sent a request to change Rubae's profile picture last year and got nothing.

As far as I know, "I was born and can't speak well yet" is just part of xnone so as long as you delete it from there, your bot shouldn't say it.

I guess I'll just keep the picture the way that it is.

After putting a couple more responses in my bot stopped saying the phrase
Thanks!
