    http://git.mvdw-software.com/Maximvdw/QAPlugin-API/wikis/home
  • Download and install new modules without bloating the plugin
  • Context based conversations

• Optimized: runs smoothly, even when using API.ai
• Highly configurable
  • Configure question match thresholds
  • Configure the trigger words
  • Configure the chat layout
  • ...

NOTE: You do have to create the questions and responses yourself, but learning can be done using the online API.ai trainer. Modules can also extend this

This QAPlugin is based on Gary. It is a plugin that has been changed 100+ times to find the perfect balance between easy to configure and useful.

With API.ai support you can even extend the possibilities outside Minecraft.


External modules can hook into online services like UrbanDictionary

External modules can store information about a question or user


Context based questions + modules


Context based questions "when was it released" can apply to server or plugin name

External module to translate things

Another context based question remembering the color


You can use placeholders in your response.



Above is a standard local question/response. As you can see the question does not need to be 100% similar to match.



Above screenshot is an API.ai intent to report a user. The 'response' is send to a web server. Note that the web server part is something you have to make yourself.

Requirements:
- Bukkit, Spigot or PaperSpigot 1.7.10 or higher

Code (Text):

BEFORE YOU START MAKING QUESTIONS CONSIDER THIS NOTE:
The plugin supports API.ai , it is a great way to configure new questions and answers but it requires an asynchronous request to a site for every question.

One of the main advantages to configure API.ai is that it stores unanswered questions so you know how to change this in the future.

The free smalltalk domain is great for default responses.

When enabling smalltalk make sure to ENABLE fulfillment


1) 'questions:' section
This section lists all the Local questions of the plugin. Local questions are questions you configure in the questions.yml. They are matched by counting the amount of matches and return a random answer.

Ever question has a name that you can choose to your liking. You just have to make sure it is unique and has a logical name (aka. needs to resemble the question you are asking).

1.1) 'your-question-name:' section
These are the subsections of the 'questions:'. You need to make one of these sections for each local question you create.

It consists of two main parts that create a question.

1.1.1) 'questions:' list
This is a list of possible questions you can ask to trigger that question. These can be:

• Full phrases like: "tell a joke", "tell me a joke"
• Matches: "tell" , "joke"

When using full phrases your question needs to contain that exact question. When using matches it will try to match these words.

QUESTION META DATA:
This is something usually used for matches because you need to give more information about "what exactly" you are matching.

META data is added by starting the question with |....|
Inside these vertical lines you put the meta data.

|word|eat
This will use "eat" as a word. Meaning it will not be matched when inside another word like "created"

|required|maxim
This will make sure the "match" is in your question

|required:name|maxim
|required:name|maximvdw
|required:name|Maxim Van de Wynckel
Same as "|required|" but instead it will check for EITHER one of the requirements called "name".
The "name" can be anything, you could even call it "type" or "blahblah"

|required:something|action text
|required:something|actionbar
|required:something|actiontext
Same as above but another example. It will look for either "action text", "actionbar" or "actiontext"

|word|required|maxim
You can use multiple meta data's by seperating them with a |

1.1.2) 'answers:' list
This is a list of possible answers. One answer will be chosen randomly and returned by the bot.
Answers can contain placeholders from PlaceholderAPI or MVdWPlaceholderAPI.

ANSWER META DATA:
You can add meta data to answers the same was as you do with questions. Currently the only meta data is to execute commands.

|console:say this is a test|
This will execute a command as the console

|opplayer:spawn|
This will execute the command as the player, but being an op

|player:money|
This will execute the command as a player. DO NOT add a "/" before the command.

|chat:I am stupid|
This will make the player "say" something in chat.

|console:say this is a test|The console will output something!
You can still add a response/answer from the bot behind the command

|console:say this is a test|delay:1000|console:say test 2|
You can add multiple commands behind eachother. If you want to add a delay between them use delay:1000 where 1000 is the time in milliseconds.

1.1.3) 'minimum-matches' number
Minimum matches defines how many of the lines in the questions list need to be matched before the question is valid.
If for example you have a question with following lines:
- "|word|tell"
- "|word|joke"
It will look for the words "tell" and "joke". You need to match them both so minimum matches is 2.

Another example would be:
- "|word|tell"
- "|word|joke"
- "|required:name|chuck norris"
- "|required:name|chucknorris"
- "|required:name|chucky"
It will look for the words "tell" , "joke" and 3 possible combinations on how to say "chuck norris".
So minimum matches is 3.

When set to -1 it will just ignore this.

1.1.4) 'priority' number
If you have multiple questions with the same possible matches you may want to set the priority higher for some questions. Usage is usually when using it in combination with required permission.
The default priority = 0.

1.1.5) 'required-permission' string
This will check if the user has this permission before accepting the match. Regardless of how many matches the question will not be matched when he does not have the required permission.

This plugin does not contain build in placeholders. It uses the:
PlaceholderAPI
and
MVdWPlaceholderAPI
to get the placeholders. Both these two plugins are optional dependencies and can be used together or separate.

For PlaceholderAPI placeholders are in the format %placeholderhere%
For MVdWPlaceholderAPI placeholders are in the format {placeholderhere}
