[pandorabots-general] An idea...

[A. Kootstra]

This is a discussion that spans several user interfaces: Internet Explorer (i.e. DHTML) and IRC. Each of these will have to deal SEPERATELY with the dialogue initiation issue. This because AIML does not support this feature. It is therefore up to  the user interface layer to keep track of the time inbetween the user's responses.  

If the user uses a browser to chat with your bot then I would program some javascript in the (D)HTML template to send a single response back using the regular HTML Form. This response will then be processes by AIML and according to iet's state will create  a user specific reply. This is afar better than storing standard replies in Javascript.  

The Solution for IRC can be similar to the one mentioned above for the browser but the technique for semding the 'pulse' to AIML to compile a reply to 'stimulate' the response will be different. How depends on how the AIML interpretation engine interfaces with the users on IRC. The interface layer will need to track the users's activity in a chatroom or one to one chat and when the user is taking long to respond to send a pulse to the interpretation engine. 

This is something that will be a challenge.

Anne

I changed mine in the training dialogue, program the remark from the human, 
the the bot's response.
You can teach it to recognize individual people and call them by nicknames, 
just make sure you go back the the bot page and republish the bot
