Hint¶

Definition¶

<hint>

Defining a hint that should be given to the user in case they answer icm:acc*neg to a particular question.

Parents¶

• <parameters>

Children¶

• <inform>

Behaviour¶

The hint parameter in a parameter set is presented to the user in case they reply to a question with an icm:acc*neg move, before the question is asked again. If there are more than one hint defined, they will be given in order, and when the last hint is reached, that hint will be repeated until the user answers the question. The children of a hint element can be any plan item, but it is recommended that the inform plan item is used, as this is the only one thoroughly tested.
