I’m new to ChatScript, so this is really unlikely to be a bug. I’m using ChatScript 6.6 on Linux (LinuxMint), and also had a similar problem in 6.5b.
I’m trying to do a simple rhyme just to play with the functions in ChatScript, and so I’ve got code that looks like this:
topic: ~cruddy []
$b = ^rhyme(boat)
t: $b rhymes with boat.
I’m forcing it to rhyme with boat because, well, there are a lot of words that do that, and I’ve got a version of this working fine that accepts user input.
However, when I try to run this, I get a response like,
216,075 rhymes with boat.
When I trace, I get output that looks like this:
System call ^rhyme( (boat), ) = create (1 word bloat x1000010) Created 216020
............[lots more matches]
............create ( 1 word uncoat x1000010 ) Created 216075
............NOPROBLEM (^rhyme) =>
............$b = ^rhyme(216075)
I get why nothing rhymes with 216075, but why is it changing the word ‘boat’ to this number (which seems like a location, but maybe it’s a fact)? And how do I get the bot to display what I actually want it to display, which is a word that rhymes with boat?
Thanks!
