run a script in a greeting

can I run a self script in a greeting?

I figured out how to make the chatbot know the hour with the greeting.so it can ask if you want breakfast, dinner or lunch.i am going to use that for that.

To run code in a greeting there are 2 options, use a Template, or use a redirect.

For example, for a Template you can use something like:

Template("{var hour = Date.get(Date.date(), #hour); if (hour < 10) { "Good morning." } else if (hour > 18) { "Good evening." } else { "Good day." } }")

For a redirect, you use a Template in your greeting that does a redirect to a response that is handled by a script.

Template("{ redirect("script_greeting") }")

that is good to know.But how do I rename a aiml script after I have made it.Because most of my new scripts I made are just called aiml.

If you upload AIML from a file or our script library it gets the file/script name.
If you create a new AIML script from the bot's scripts it will be named 'aiml', to have a different name, first save it as a Self script with the name, then change the code to AIML.

redirect to a script does not work because the default response overrides it.

I have tested this, and it does work.

I'm not sure what you tried.

This script is what I was talking about.

Template("{ redirect("script_greeting") }")

So a "redirect" send the redirect text as a message to the bot and returns the response.

For example if a bot had a script that had the pattern "hello" and returned "hello world", then in a Template redirect("hello") would return "hello world".

In my example "script_greeting" was an example message, you need a script that accepts this pattern and return your desired response. If you have no response for "script_greeting", then your bot would use its default response.

okay I did not know that.

this is what Sheila bing greeting is now.wait here.walks away down the hallway.comes back 30 minutes.here is your script_hour on a tray.

i have a a aiml script called hour and it has hour as a pattern.

put in the search Sheila bing rating= mature

Looking at your bot, your greeting redirects to the question "script_hour" but you have no response for this.

In your script the pattern should be "script_hour" not "hour".

thankyou that worked.

the redirect script does not work with the random tag.
