⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

[Help/Bug] Shortcut buttons in ai-character-chat are not rendering new updates (self.perchance)

I am currently utilizing the guide found at rentry to work with custom JavaScript scripts for the AI chat: https://perchance.org/ai-character-chat.

According to the guide:

shortcutButtons - this is an array of objects structured as {autoSend:false, insertionType:"replace", message:"/ai be silly", name: "silly response", clearAfterSend:true}. When a new chat thread is initiated, a copy of these shortcutButtons is transferred to the thread. Therefore, to modify the current buttons in the thread, you should adjust oc.thread.shortcutButtons. Only modify oc.character.shortcutButtons if you intend to change the buttons available for all future chat threads associated with this character.

The script I am implementing can alter the oc.thread.shortcutButtons array; however, the changes are not appearing in the chat window, which continues to display the previous list.

oc.thread.shortcutButtons = [{autoSend:false, insertionType:"replace", message:"/ai be silly", name: "silly response", clearAfterSend:true}];

Interestingly, when I manually refresh the page, the chat window correctly reflects the updated list of shortcut button options. I would prefer the updates to occur without needing to reload, similar to how messages are updated in real-time.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, were you able to resolve it?

@[email protected] pinging dev. Though, you can try to set a temporary value to a character custom data since that triggers updates like oc.character.customData.test = ''.

@[email protected] Thank you for your response.

I had attempted to set the customData for the thread using oc.thread.customData.test = ''. Unfortunately, this approach had not yielded the desired results.

I still need to explore updating the customData for the character rather than the thread.

It seems to me that the method for (re)rendering the shortcut buttons is probably not getting executed when the thread is performing any save operations, although I could be mistaken.
