Resetting topics using time of day
  
 
Posted: Dec 18, 2017

I have a bot with a topic file that asks a series of questions to help the user reflect on their day.

I only want the gambits in this topic file to be used once per day (so I’m not using any Keep or Repeat at the moment), but if the user starts a new conversation the next day, I’d like the gambits to be reset so they can be used again.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how this could be achieved?

at the time of the new conversation, there is a std pattern that detects that and sends use to ~introductions.
From THERE you can test if day has changed (if previously you saved prior day). and if it has, do ^reset(TOPIC ~yourtopic)  to reset that topic

Thanks Bruce. Can you suggest a section of the documentation to read that might give me a better understanding of how to both save that date data as well as test if it has changed?

doc on system variables tells what to get.. you can do
$date = ?te

and then check against that later using ?te again
