Beginning scripter - looking for a fix for a chatbot

[Ava Cartier]

Hello! I'm trying to modify an existing script for an NPC for my store. My issue is that I want the bot to answer in upper and lowercase letters, appropriately. Yes, I know it's trivial. Yes, I know it's nit-picky. Regardless, is there a way to do this that will not create a huge scripting problem for the existing script? Thanks in advance!

The important word in your question is "appropriately".  To do the job right, the script will need to have rules that tell it when a capital letter is appropriate (at the start of a sentence or a proper name or a title -- like King Charles --, in acronyms, in key words in book or movie titles ... ) and then how to recognize those situations.  That is definitely a non-trivial task.  You can make up very simplified rules -- capitalize the next word following a period, for example -- that will work most of the time, but for most of it there's no hope.  That's why all but the most sophisticated routines use either all lower case or all upper case, or stick with canned responses that are delivered intact from a bank of pre-written answers.  "Hello, <insert llDetectedName(0) here>. How are you today?"   "I'm sorry, <insert llDetectedName(0) here>.  We do not have <insert parsed item name here> in your size."

Thanks so much! I was afraid is was going to be above my pay grade.
