Hi Bruce,
I would like to call the :reset command, from simplecontrol.top.

Is this possible? If so, how is it done?

I have tried using

^system( ^reset() )

and

^system( reset )

But it says, it is not recognized as an internal or external command etc.

:reset is a testing command. Such commands can be attempted from script using ^execute

Thanks for replying Bruce.

I have this code to reset the user, as per the manual

^reset ( what ? ) – what can be user or topic or factset. If user, the system drops all history and starts the user afresh from first meeting.

But I get the following text

output:
result code: 2

Then it triggers my catch all responder at the bottom of the topic, so it must be a failure of some kind.

I haven’t been able to make any other syntax work.

^execute(^reset()) won’t compile.

It says call to function not yet defined ^execute

What I need is a way to reset everything to the point when a new user is created.

The reason for this is I am copying facts to ChatScript when I talk to a bot and I am copying facts back to the client, when I stop talking to the bot.

The facts can also be changed by the client, while it is not talking to the bot.

Okay I got it to work with the following.

It said, We start anew.

Turns out I already have code to reset indivdual topics. So all I need is to destroy unwanted facts and this code does it:

then I guess you don’t need me…

In this instance, perhaps not, but we’ll always need you around.

Indeed we will.

RIght.

The general answer is you can call script functions from command as :evaluate ^fn()
and you can call command functions from script as ^eval( :trace all)

Nice. That will be very useful. Thanks Bruce.

Something I noticed about my ChatScript version is ^eval() creates compile errors, if it is called from within an outputmacro. Don’t know if that is a bug, or it is intentional.
