Ok here's what I said: 'which do you like better: chocolate or vanilla'

Now here's some of the stuff I saw in debug (it changed it)

New Sentence: ' which do you like better , chocolate or vanilla '

Find: do you like better * or * (28) Time: 0.93

And here's his response: Bot: I'll stick with (key2)

But I still can't figure out what to Do about it

I keep getting a line in debug about the word "or". It says that "or" was ignored...I can't understand why an important word like that would be ignored, but it has been cuasing me great difficulty too.

Good heavens, Frizella is interpreting the strangest things as xcommands. Recent example:

Frizella: (to Little Mu) Little Mu! Gosh darn it, it's good to see you again.
Little Mu: Great to see you!
Frizella: Try a little sugar. When you just say " great to see you!" I get all contrary.

It makes her sound quite a bit more prickly and cranky than she really is. I put "Great to see you!" through debug and it sure enough finds it to be an xcommand. Any ideas why?

The verb "see".

Thanks, Eugene! I made a higher-ranked keyphrase and now she's being a little more polite. I'll have to watch her transcripts and do the same thing for other phrases when I see her getting snippy again.

Here's a related question: is it possible to create a keyphrase that allows her to skip xcommand if the apparent command includes "please"? I don't want her to use her "Try a little sugar" line if the request was made politely in the first place. Can an AIScript for a particular xcommand response specify that it's only used in the absence of "please"?

Why not just write a keyphrase for "please * (verb)" -- and another one for "(verb) * please" ... That wouldn't take very long, and if it's ranked high enough it should trump xcommand.

Perfect! Frizella's manners just improved tremendously.

Outside of xgossip, is it possible for a bot to refer to someone she knows? Like, if someone says "I ate a hotdog" is it possible to have a keyphrase "i ate (adjartnoun)" and a response like "Really? (person bot knows) ate (key1) and got a terrible rash on (hisher) (bodypart-outside)."

Or can she only refer to people she knows through xgossip responses?

**edited message to put "(person bot knows)" back in after it got stripped for using pointy brackety less-than thingies**

Hi dallymo!

I think you might be able to use (friend) in there. But I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure.

"(friend)" will work there, but I haven't been able to get pronouns to work right with it, as I recall.

If I have a keyphrase for "I have a dog" and I wanted my bot to remember that, what kind of AI script could I use?

I tried: rem as "hasdog" but it was not a valid entry.
