Another question:

[Xodarap]

Is there a way to implement a correction such that Hal will not repeat something if I ask him not to?
For example, he got stuck in his head "Say something about snakes." (I was using that to test my "general knowledge" db.)  How could I get him to respond appropriately to "Don't say that again," or, "Please don't say 'Say something about snakes'"?

Ooo, and another!  :)

Is it possible to assign Hal to say something random?  Is there a function that will call up randomly any line he has recorded?  Or any line from a QA/brn file?

Like I said, a function that *adds* randomness would be ideal!  Something that increases his tolerance for irrelevancy by a set amount/proportion...  Otherwise, pure randomness could be fun with the right setup!  :)

They just keep popping up...

Where can I find (and edit) the lists of salutations, insults, compliments, and other pre-set lists that get triggered by similar set interactions?  I saw the list of triggers in the main UHP, but I'm wondering where the lists of responses are held.  I really want to make him some new insults!  And jokes!  :D

Hi Xodarap.

You can open your brain with the HAL brain editor and find tables like
this, since we know 'salutations is a greeting we would want to look a for a greeting table in the brain.

If you type:

"helloDetect"
"helloDisqualify"
"hello1"
"hello2"

in the brain then it will show up like a blue hyperlink that when clicked on will take you to that table for editing.

Neat, I found the first.  I'm not at my computer now, but it was something that pulls a random sentence from a table or file (I found it in use in the Jokes function).  I can now get him to give me random quotes or random song lyrics, which rocks!  :)

I still would like something to increase his tolerance for irrelevancy, so that when he has 25 different responses that COULD be triggered by a certain input, he doesn't always say the same one (unless it's intentionally triggered by a script).  As it stands, I'm slowly writing enough scripts with random cases to cover almost everything I would say :P
