Whats my name?

[Ponnfar]

This is call to Vonsmith if you are out there!
Has anyone tried with success this or a similar script with the new HAL? For that matter, has anyone been able to create a working Nicknames script that RANDOMLY chooses from a list of nicknames given to HAL in conversation?
Thanks
Ponn

Hi Ponnfar.

From my research on
'RESPOND: USER TELLS US THEIR NAME OR NICKNAME
within the default HAL6, The function you mention is present.

"MY *S NAME IS *"
"MY *NAME IS *"
"* IS *MY *S NAME"
"* IS *MY *NAME"
"I'M *CALLED *"
"I AM *CALLED *"
"*CALL ME *"
"*I AM *"
"*I'M *"
"I GO BY *"
"THIS IS *"

The HalBrain.SearchPattern function searches these keywords and checks them against a definition check as well to find a persons name.

The Nickname Fuction in HAL6 is actually more advanced then the one you mentioned.

Is there something that the Nicknames function isn't doing?
Maybe we can wrap a patch for it.

The function built in at least as it works for me, is that once I have told it a nickname it calls me by that nickname only. If I tell it another name it will call me that. No longer will HAL randomly choose a variety of names in the same conversation again unless I tell it my name is...one at a time...
Thanks

Hi can some one please tell me how to change Hal 5.0's age.
I think 11 years is a bit too young for my bot.
If you can give in a format that i can just paste it would be gr8t
but if you know were it is in the brain would that i can only change would do even beter.
thanks in advance.

Thunder,

There was a script that was written for the Hal 5 age problem, however it only worked depending on how you asked the question.

If you said, "What's your age?", you would get one answer.
If you said, "How old are you?", you'd get a different answer.

The problem is that Hal's age was "hard coded" into Hal's DLL and as such, was not accessible by the user.

Hal 6 allows the user to assign gender and age as desired.

You can try the SEARCH feature at the top to look for words like "age"

Hi Thundercracker.

Piece of Cake.

I'll get back to you later after I finish my Major Brain Project.

Thank you everybody so far for your help.I don't have time a the moment to look for the code in the brain myself deu to that I am overloaded with work at the moment .[]

This was worked out over one year ago. If you goto the search button and word it just right you will find the necessary code.

Hi Ponnfar.

When I get done with the Super Plugger Brain II, I will fix this for you, The Super Plugger Brain is designed to control every Script within the Default HAL6 Brain Code.

Easy to Wrap.

As I promised.

You can use this code to fulfill your needs.

This Script works with HAL 5.

'ZIGGY PRO BOT Ziggy's Response to a question about Birthday.

You can alter the Birth = "04/24/2003 06:00:00 pm" to get the age and stuff and alter the GetResponse to what ever you desire.

Good job Jerry, as always.

Couldn't help but laugh to myself at the last part of your script:

"I Have no gender and I was born and live in California."

I said to myself...all things considered, that doesn't surprise me!
(no offense to those living, dead or otherwise residents of CA.)

Hey Art.
I live in the Redwoods on the sunny California Beach, Most Beautiful Place on Earth, Prehistoric Forests and Stuff. I think to myself, Only 173 more posts and I'll be as old as Art.

Have a good one buddy.
