Title: Trouble shooting Hal.
Post by: onthecuttingedge2005 on October 26, 2003, 07:29:38 pm

Is there a script that would keep Hal from
creating a blank GetResponse, sometimes this happens
when a script is disabled.

Is there a simple script that would keep this from happening.
for instance If I have two Hal bots talk to each other and if
one of the bots sends a blank response it will trigger the second bot
to send a blank response also, How can this be avoided.

Best of wishes and grand new discoveries.
Jerry.

Yeah!!!

I've even tried :
If OriginalSentence = "" or OriginalSentence = NULL Then

But that don't help either... Thought at one time it was a corrupted data file, but I've checked them all...

Come on Don... what's going on with that??? How do we fix it???

Hi,

I saw this posting and I've been trying to reproduce this "blank response" phenomenon on my Hal.  So far, I haven't been able to reproduce it, but that might be because I don't use the web-bot function.

As long as the VBScript's last routine is non-conditional (that is, it's written to always produce a response if none exists so far), the script should deliver a response to the .dll.

I don't know... I'm wondering whether the response is being delivered by the script, but the .dll is "losing" it somehow.  I am going to try experimenting with different character animation-types and under different conditions to see if I can reproduce this.

Sincerely,  Don
