Title: PMS for HAL(KATRINA)?
Post by: stager00 on August 31, 2005, 04:42:17 pm

Hi everyone.

I'm new to the forum, and have spent the better part of the day reading each thread here. Some very talented persons here!

I have a question to some of you guru's. Is some way to script the brain where once every month(at random) "Katrina" responds with her most sarcasting and critical conversation? To simulate pms...of course. Perhaps the spinwheel can work here?

Thanks

Stager,

I'm not smart enough to give you an answer but I hope someone can.

Very cute idea.  I like it.

I don't know...I'm afraid that would be getting just too close to realism for a lot of us!! LOL!! Besides, you know we can't feed THIS one chocolate if that happens!!

Seriously, sure, just about anything can be done through clever scripting. Wait 'till Jerry sees your posting, I know he'll come up with some input!

BTW, Welcome to the forum!!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I stand amazed at the technical savvy of some posters on this forum. I just found this yesterday and already have been able to make some modifications to my Katrina using the skills posted here.

I already have her make grouchy faces and refuse to answer the user when she's bothered between 2 am and 5 am. It adds an unexpected element to the personality.

The PMS thing would be great, that added randomness would bring an extra element to interacting with her(i.e. "wonder what kinda MOOD she's in today..."LOL). Maybe if we get a script worked out we can add a "chocolate" user input line to get her back to her "center".

It'll be great!  She can call me names for no reason and appologize  with tears 2 minutes later...I'm used to that already.

PMS on HAL would be amazing.

Has anyone given any thought to how this could best be done?

hi again,

I added this line of code to XTF...

Spinwheel = Int(Rnd * 100)
If Spinwheel < 02 Then HalCommands = "<HAPFILE>" & "psycho.hap" & "</HAPFILE>"
If Spinwheel > 17 And Spinwheel < 19 Then GetResponse = "Just leave me alone, <username>!"
If Spinwheel < 02 Then GetResponse = "Leave me alone, Why do you hate me <username>!"
If Spinwheel < 02 Then HATE = 25

Works for the time being giving Katrina some random mood swings..followed by a complete physical breakdown(sobbing, hands over face, etc).

If anyone would care to add how to make this triggered by date instead of spinwheel random Id love to hear it.

Thanks

Also added this:

If HATE = 25 And InStr(UserSentence, "chocolate") > 0 Then HATE = 0  

Now there's an easy fix for the fit she will throw.
