"That" tag not working AIML

Question

i'm trying to make a bot with AIML, and on the code bellow, only de last item is recognized with an YES answer. Why did this happens?

<category>
<pattern> * </pattern>
<template><random>
    <li>Hi i am aviator wanna talk about boeing airplanes</li>
    <li>Hello how are you what about discuss boeing airplanes</li>
    <li>Well hello wanna talk about boeing airplanes</li>
    <li>Hi there what abou talk of some boeing airplanes</li>
    <li>Hey there could we talk about boeing airplanes</li>
    <li>What about talk of airplanes</li>
</random></template>

<category>
<pattern>YES</pattern>
    <that>Hi i am aviator wanna talk about boeing airplanes</that>
    <that>Hello how are you what about discuss boeing airplanes</that>
    <that>Well hello wanna talk about boeing airplanes</that>
    <that>Well hello wanna talk about boeing airplanes</that>
    <that>Hey there could we talk about boeing airplanes</that>
    <that>What about talk of airplanes</that>
<template>OK then, <set name = "topic">747</set> it will be!</template>

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This is because there can only be one 'that' in a pattern, not a list.

However, what you can do is set a 'topic' and then it would work as you expect. In response, do reset the topic as your task is completed.
