Bot IRC-like commands

Bot IRC-like commands refers to the use of "/" type commands while in an actual chat room. While you are able to set up a Bot from the FlashChat Admin Panel, you can also "manually" do it from inside a room using the following commands. You MUST be logged in as an Admin!

/showbots - This command will show you a list of all existing Bot names.

/addbot botname - Use this command to add a new Bot name. Example: /addbot Alice

/startbot botname - Use this command to start an existing Bot name. Note: If you start a Bot that was created in the Admin Panel, and the Bot was setup to start in a particular room, that is where the Bot will login when you use this command. In other words, the Bot may not appear in the room you are in.

/killbot botname - Use this command to make a Bot log out of the chat. Note: If you created a Bot in the Admin Panel and set it up to appear automatically by number of users, the /kill command will make the Bot log out, BUT it will log right back in if the "number of users" condition is met.

/teach "botname" "phrase" =>"response" - This command will teach your Bot to respond to special phrases a chatter might type. You must use the quotes shown in the command. Example: ( /teach "Alice" "What is the best chat script" => "Why, FlashChat, of course!" ) . You'll get a reply back after teaching a Bot like: "Alice has been taught". Now, if a chatter types "What is the best chat script", the Bot will reply with "Why, FlashChat, of course!". The chatter must type the exact text you taught the Bot! If you're familiar with Bot scripting... wildcards (*) will not work when teaching a Bot. The Bot does not need to be active to teach it.

/unteach "botname" "phrase" =>"response" - This command works the same as the /teach command. it will unteach something you previously taught the Bot. It will not unteach something from the aiml sets that were loaded during install. the Bot does not need to be active to unteach it.
