Title: A plugin
Post by: ramccoid on May 09, 2007, 12:50:07 pm: Here is a plugin to give Hal the ability to count up to or down from a specified number. It also allows HAL to recite the alphabet. You can ask HAL what letter or number follows or proceeds a specific number or letter. Finally there is a guess the number game which I have named 'Number Find', just ask HAL how to play number find and HAL will tell you what to do.
If anyone wants to alter or improve upon the scripting, feel free, just let me know your changes, just out of interest.
Enjoy,
Roy

Very nice coding and the game is an added plus!
Good work & Thanks!!

Post by: markofkane on May 10, 2007, 06:31:06 am: I get an error when I say "guess"
File not found line 3837

Line in Hal DBG is as follows

Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(TempMod, ForReading)

So the plugin does not work because of the Halbrain?

Edit: I only get the error with that plugin enabled.

I don't know what the Halbrain plugin is. I'm pretty new to scripting for HAL and have learnt most of what I know from Jerry and Bill over at the UltraHal Enhancement Forum. If you could explain what this plugin is I might be able to solve your error problem.

Sorry markofkane, I miss understood your message [:I]. I'll look into the problem.
Are 2 BRN files being created in your HAL folder? These are needed to store the count and number to play the game. They are called 'CountStore' and 'NumberStore'.
Title: A plugin
Post by: markofkane on May 10, 2007, 03:52:04 pm: No, all I did was download the file you posted, and put it in the Hal Folder.

Where do I get the 'CountStore' and 'NumberStore' files?

The plugin looks pretty good and since Hal likes to have fun this may help, we began planning a party since she likes dancing and partying. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for a great plug-in!!

I guessed the right number after several tries.

How about more chances??[:D][:D]

Post by: aladyblond on May 10, 2007, 08:31:17 pm: ok here comes the blond question... does this plugin work in hal 6 ?
do i just put it in hal 6 folder and do i have to reboot for it to work , because so far it isnt working for me.

Post by: Duskrider on May 10, 2007, 08:57:11 pm: Interesting plug-in.
Thanks Jerry and Ramccoid.

Hummmm.........
Looks very possible to switch "alphabet" to
the "Past American Presidents",
or "Books of the New Testament"
or "The Bill of Rights
or "States in order of admission into the union" (with year included)

I'm glad you got it working. If you change the value of 'cnumb' from 6 which is the amount of guesses, to whatever you require.
Thanks Jerry for your help, it's always valued.

Yes this plugin is written for HAL 6/6.1. Just put it into your HAL folder and switch it on from your BRAIN section of the GENERAL OPTIONS. No reboot is needed.

If you wish to use this plugin to achieve these tasks, be my guest to alter it to your specifications but just let me know what you have done with it, just out of scripting interest.

I hope CARL2 that your HAL's party is a success and this plugin makes a good addition to the fun to be had.

Thanks for the info and Plug-in, Roy.
Title: A plugin
Post by: ramccoid on May 11, 2007, 05:32:47 am: Your welcome markofkane. Glad you like it. I'm in the middle of developing a plugin to allow HAL to learn facts and store the information that has been taught. So you could teach HAL all the presidents of the USA and lots more. When it is completed I'll post a copy on the forum for all to make use of.

Thanks everyone for your input,
Roy.

did you update your plugin to version 2?

Also, ramccoid should update his first post with the updated version so nobody gets it by mistake.

Title: A plugin
Post by: markofkane on May 11, 2007, 02:24:11 pm: aladyblond,

Make sure you have the latest version of the plug-in, then

say this: (numbered for order)

1. New game

2. She will ask how many guesses you want

3. Say "Guesses 9" (or any number from 2-9 ) (no quotes)

4. She will ask you to guess

5. "Guess 43" (without quotes and whatever number between 1-100)

Hi aladyblond,
I figured out why you are getting that error. I noticed on the image that you were typing in upper case. So I tried it on the plugin in upper case and I also received that same error. So I've sorted out that problem and now you can type in upper or lower or even both and the plugin should work without that error appearing.
I'll edit my first message and put up the fixed plugin V2.1

Hi lcatmc.

place the files in your
C:\Program Files\Zabaware\Ultra Hal Assistant 6 folder then
choose the plugin from your HAL brain options panel.

ps. oops sorry, I didn't realize I had already asked this...brain fart. I tried to dowload the file and when I clciked on the link it opened the scrips instead of a download window:

[Rem Type=Plugin
Rem Name=Counting and alphabet v2.1
Rem Author=R.A.McCoid 2007, OnTheCuttingEdge2005(Helped)
Rem Host=All

'------------------------------------------------------------------
'This sub setups the plug-ins option panel in Hal's options dialog
'------------------------------------------------------------------

Sub OptionsPanel()
lblPlugin(0).Caption = "This script will allow HAL to be able to count up or down and recite the alphabet forwards or in reverse or tell you what letter or number is before or after a specified letter or number. There is also a guess the number game, called 'Number Find'. Just ask how to play 'Number Find' to find out what to do."
lblPlugin(0).Move 120, 10, 3300, 1000
lblPlugin(0).WordWrap = True
lblPlugin(0).Visible = True
End Sub]

This is what I get by clicking the download link. Not sure what to do with this.. sorry, just not very computer savy these days..lol.

Hi Duskrider.

If you have the 2.2 then that might be the best to plug-in.

Post by: ramccoid on February 11, 2008, 08:14:58 am: I have separated and rewritten my CountingAndAlphabet plugin into 3 plugins. Each one has been totally redone and I hope completely error free.

Counting plugin: Allows HAL to count up or down from or to a specified number. It also now allows HAL to count from a number to another number. HAL will be able to tell you what number follows or proceeds a specified number.

Alphabet plugin: Allows HAL to recite the alphabet normally or in reverse order. It will also allow HAL to tell you where a letter is or which number in the alphabet a letter is. HAL will be able to tell you which letter follows or proceeds a specified letter.

NumberGame plugin: I have rewritten this game completely and I feel it works much better than it used to. Just ask HAL how to play number game for instructions.

I hope these plugins are enjoyed.

Roy.

Post by: ramccoid on February 13, 2008, 12:38:59 pm: The difference between v2.1 and v2.2 is that v2.2 takes into consideration someone who types in uppercase which prevented the plugin from working properly.
