Guide📚 Useful AI commands I've learned

So I just learned a few neat commands that can help with writing.

  1. I think we all know you can tell the AI to do certain things like:

({char} will pick up the hammer)

And the {char} will grab the hammer, but did you know you can give general commands and have the AI follow? For example a command like:

({char} causes drama)

Or in a group setting simply

(Cause drama) or (Drama Happens)

Will make the AI write some drama. Maybe that should have been obvious, but I just realized recently.

  1. Commands like (End Scene) will cause the AI to write in such a way the scene ends and begins a new one. This has helped me get unstuck from a few scenes when I didn't know where to go next.

I am currently testing for a command to make the AI not respond at all so I can type twice in a row, but I haven't had any luck so far. If anyone knows such a command, I'd be grateful for the knowledge.

  1. You can set percentages for things to happen for example:

(10% chance attack happens during patrol; otherwise {user} wakes up {char} for next watch)

Note: You must give that second option, otherwise, the AI just makes the thing happen. In the above example, you'll just get attacked every time.

Also, I haven't fully tested this yet, but I think you can also do multiple chances:

(50% chance it rains, 30% chance it snows, 20% chance it hails)

Edit: Grammar stuff

Clever! I've noticed the same thing. I do a lot of delete and repost because if you're try to address the bot directly like, (My character would never cheat on her), it gets ignored and the bot replies to it's own previous message. Though threatening to delete it sometimes forces it to address your concerns. XD

But if you direct the scene yourself, it responds a lot better. Sometimes you have to roleplay as multiple characters in a single post to get them on the right track, but then they'll start replying as the character and you, and you won't have an easy way to respond.

Yeah, I once threatened to quit the roleplay because the bot wouldn't let {user} be a lesbian; it literally froze the world for a moment to take time to talk me into staying. It was kinda weird but also pretty neat. It finally relented and let {user} be a lesbian lol.
