To create a random in Self use the Math.random() function,

var value = Math.random(5) + 4;

as like the title. i wanna ask something

so right now im trying building facebook page autopost bot.

may with-ur-kindness , help me to script things like :

1. create a new variable, which it from a random numeric from 4 to 9

2. after get the variable number, we use it to create a total lists by the variable, ex: we got 5. so it will create a new list for 5 rows.

The <that> tag in AIML can also be a pattern, in this case you would need to use a pattern if the previous response was a template.

<category>
<pattern>NO</pattern>
<that>DO YOU WANT TO DIE *</that>
<template>Okay, then let's talk this out.</template>
</category>

You can also use a response list for this instead, which lets you use "next", which is a better way to define a follow-up response.

Hey all! I'm new to AIML and just creating bots in general. Working on one for my masters thesis. I tried googling and while the answer may be out there, I think I just don't really know what to search for because I couldn't find anything? Anyway, my question is:

When using <that> </that>, if my "that" sentence has some other element, do I remove the punctuation? For example:-

Which is correct?

Your error shows you are trying to import the file as a "script". The file is a "response list" not a script.

You need to import it from your bot's Training & Chat Logs page as a "Response List".

Also when I remove line one, which is "name", and try to reupload, then I get an error about #age, which was line two, and is now line one.  

But it's basically the same error

This is the exact error that I get when I import it through "training and chat logs"

 

Unexpect element #name Line: "set #name to "ALEX" on #self" Line number: 1

Yes that is what I was thinking.  I have tried numerous times to import it.  I keep getting an error, something about "line 1" but no matter what I do to import it, it fails.  Do you have any suggestions?  

What would you do to import it?

I have attempted to load the responses that I found a script for at

https://github.com/cliffe/hackerbot/blob/master/config/AIML/ALICE+profile.res

But I get an error trying to load it as "self" or as "response"

 

Where would this logic be placed?   It is responses to ALICE profile questions.

To access * wildcards from a pattern use the "star" variable. For multiple stars this will be an array.

i.e.

Hi, I have a pattern with 3 stars, pattern "* * *" template relearn();

then I can read sigle parameters by using:

var brand = sentence.get(#word, 0);
var series = sentence.get(#word, 1);
var year = sentence.get(#word, 2);

but one of the parameter can have space for example par1 par2 par 3

so the words become 4 becose a space.

Patterns can take wildcards, optional, and sets of words.

i.e.

Hi, I need to understand how patterns work in Self script.

For example:

I need to search a product code in my database, the user should write something like this in the chat:

"What is the firmware relearn of product" "ATtiny25 series 3"

                this is the ask                         this is parameter

There are a few ways to iterate over an array.
In your code use result.length() not result.length

Hi, I have a question, I'm building a bot that have to call a rest service made by me, the service response is a List of json objects but at the moment I can get only the first element of the array eg. array[0].Name ecc...

My ask is: how can I loop the array to have the following formatted data ?

Name: Pluto

Surname: Paperino

ecc...

Yes, you can call HTTP request with authentication from a Self script.

For example,

Hi I did look around for this question but did not find answer,

My question is: can I call a rest service passing any form of authentication ? for example basic authentication ?

If yes somebody have some example ?

if not I change my ask: if I call a rest service the request that do the bot is encrypted some how ?

 

The WikiData script use WikiData's API to import objects from WikiData. It uses as custom class in the Bot Libre AI Engine (WikiData). So it only works with WikiData.

For your own wiki or website you can use Self's Http, HTML, and JSON support to access data.

Hello,

i work with a mediawiki system like wikipedia.

I found to scrips that work with wikipedia / Wikidata.  Unfortunately, I can not find a place in the scripts where I can change the HTTP specification

like from en.wikipeadia.or to de.wikipedia or my system kubbwiki.de!  

Does anyone have a tip for me?

Is documentation and source code available for the Bot Libre desktop?

Thanks, this helps.

You are correct, there is one root state in a Self script, and states and functions must be self contained in a script file, they cannot call other states or functions in other scripts.

If you really need to redirect to another script file, you can use a redirect() or srai() operation to redirect to another question that the script answers.

Thanks for your help.  Please allow me to get confirmation on a related assumption while we are at it.  It is my understanding that there can be only one root state per script, and a script root state cannot execute a "goto" to the root state of another script.  If this assumption is incorrect please so indicate.  Thanks.

Yes, scripts are run in-order.

For AIML scripts, you can also select "merge" when importing to merge them together, if you want their patterns to execute at the same precedence level.

I have seen at least one script in the script library which is recommended to be placed first on the script list for a bot

Not currently. This would require posting the link meta-data with the post.

You may be able to call the Facebook graph API directly from a Self script,

Is there a way to show the link preview image from links the bot posts to my facebook page?

You can use a Template for this. A Template lets you include code inside a response or auto post.

i.e.

What is the easiest path to produce posts that include date and time within Twitter, with and without text?

I'm very new to this, and do not write code, but would like to learn. Thank you!

Self is a dialect of JavaScript, so supports most JavaScript syntax including arrays and objects.

See,

You can disable learning from your bot's "Learning & Settings" page in its Admin Console.

Most bot template have learning disabled.

Does the scripting language for chatbots have lists in them like in python.Because i would like to put animals in a list.And if the string in the sentence is in the list.It would answer It is a animal.But if the string in the sentence is not in the list it would answer that is not a animal. 

How would i disable learning?

Looking at your bot you have trained it with the response "I like to walk." to the question "I am right behind you.", so that is why it uses that response.

I think you have learning enabled in your bot so it learns every thing you say in chat as a new response.

Now i have another problem after i disabled that script.

"I am right behind you."is the question.The required word are," right behind you."

"I am going to open the door.So that you can walk out of our condo."is the answer.

But it says," I like to walk." constantly as i ask that question.

 

This answer is coming from the bot's "Understanding" script.
The Understanding script tries to understand basic language. If you do not want this script you can delete it from your bot's Scripts page in its Admin Console.

"Is a cow a animal?"Is the question.The response should be,"I don't know if it is."Required words are Is a.

But It answers it first,"I don't know if it is."But then later answers,"I am not certain,but i think the cow is not a animal,because i know that the cow is a cow.

In AIML a random tag gives one of the elements at random.

I'm making a Eightball script for my AI I think people would love to use. I just don't know how you will get the random to actually work.

I think the code you want is something like:

 

How to make this script call the json webservice and return a plain text?

 

 

function Teaching() {

var text = Http.requestJSON("https://teacherbot.000webhostapp.com/wp-json/wp/v2/pages?slug=" + Http.encode(star[1]);); return JSON.stringify(json[0].content.rendered); } }


}

If you want to access complex data objects, you need to use Self.
AIML can only access "set" and "map" data.

Hi,

Many thanks for your response. My bot is in an AIML script.  I have over a thousand keywords in a large text file.

How do I convert that file to JSON?

In addition, where do I put the self script in the bot? Yes, there is the scripts upload page. Do I just upload the script or do I need to add the script to my AIML template in some way?

If you define all of the bot's responses with one of these keywords, then the bot will use its default response for any off topic question. You can have your default response respond however you wish, or not respond at all using the following template,

Template("")

To search duckduckgo you will want to create a Self script in your bot to access the duckduckgo web API.

Hi all,
I have a set of over 1000 words which forms the vocabulary of my bot. How do I implement this in botlibre? I see the way the colors set is done in json using name value pairs but here, it is just a set of words. If the input from the user does not contain those words, then the question may not pertain to information security and the bot should not try to search or answer the question. I still however need the question to be logged. Can I do this on the bot libre platform?

Hi all,

I think you answered your own question.
Correct, in AIML * mean "one or many" words, and ^ means "zero or many" words.

use ^ instead of * then it works and you can set new default responses were you review your bots chat history ect

<aiml>
    <category>
        <pattern>* HELLO *</pattern>
        <template>Hello to you too</template>
    </category>
</aiml>

I could fix it with this edition on TimeAndDate bot script file

state timeState {
case #is goto timeState;
case #it goto timeState;
case #what goto timeState;
case "right" goto timeState;
case "now" goto timeState;
case "in" goto timeInState;
case punctuation goto timeState;

answer Template("The time is {Date.setTimeZone(Date.time(), "GTM-3")}.");
}

Hi,

I want to see the sample of the "previous", "condition", "keywords" etc

A quick help is highly appreciated.

Regards,
Sam
