intent!

The intent! trigger tag declares an intent by which the dialog can enter a state.

tip

This is a global tag: transitions by this tag can be made from anywhere in the script.

Value

A path to the intent is specified after the tag. Within the path, / is a separator between nesting levels:

• /hi — the path consists of the / character and the intent name.
• /hi/politely — a nested intent. There is no upper limit to the nesting depth.
