The most flexible Yahoo! Bot

[turbopowerdmaxsteel]

I have developed the Pika Bot which works on a unique CEVT mechanism. CEVT stands for Conditions, Effects, Variables & Triggers.

Below is a screenshot from a Pika Bot chat session.
This example will clarify the working of the bot.



Lets take the very first response: Finally ... The Rock has come back to Windows:8

Here, the condition named I Come Online is of type I Join Room and it has one parameter: Room Name which is set to *, a wildcard character. So, this condition is true whenever the bot joins a chat room.



The effect named Anounce Arrival is of type Send Chat Message and it has one parameter: Message which holds the message 'Finallllly..... The Rock has come back to %ChatRoomName%'. Where %ChatRoomName% is a system variable that holds the value for the current chat room name, and would be substituted by its value in the message.



The Trigger is what chains the conditions and effects together to make the responses work. In this case the trigger named Join Room has a single condition I Come Online, the one discussed above and a single effect Anounce Arrival. In terms of working, this Trigger would fire when the condition I Come Online is True (i.e when the bot joins a room) and would run the effect Announce Arrival, thus displaying the chat message 'Finallllly..... The Rock has come back to Windows:8'.

Notice how the %ChatRoomName% is substituted by the room name Windows:8.



This was just a basic example, by chaining conditions and effects together, with the help of the 'AND' and 'OR' operators, a wide variety of responses can be made.

By chaining effects with the 'OR' operator, you can make the responses random and by using 'AND' operator, you could initiate two effects at a time.

The following is the list of the Conditions, Effects and system variables supported by Pika Bot in its current release.

Do you mean the bot isn't able to sign you onto Yahoo? Also, what version of Pika Bot are you using?

What is the point of this? No one likes bots...

[turbopowerdmaxsteel]

It is true, that nobody likes the bots in their current way of usage. Most of the bots are being used to spam the chat rooms and PMs so that cheap money can be earned.

Bots, such as mine and the Yahoo Responder Bot provide lots of customizations to be done with the responses. They are intended to be used for fun-filled, intelligent responses and to be able to impersonate humans.I must say that some bots are very much a part of the chat rooms. One such is the ondobot1 that lurks around Christian Chat:4. It belongs to the creator of Yahoo Responder Bot and is very impressive with its responses. Also, it does so very occasionaly thus attributing to minimum spamming.

But, unfortunately very few people use them in this way.
