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.

<?PF rem "yes" as "hasdog"; ?> should do it.
I love dogs. <?PF if (mem-hasdog) is "yes"; ?>
I love cats.

Duh! *smacks forehead*

Thank you so much, Joe!!
