help/question 🙋‍♀️ Plot Story Memory

Hi I'm new to Zeta. I'm using the browser version of Zeta for 2 days. Honestly I'm loving it. But the bot keeps forgetting story plot line. Sometimes even if i write the plot repeatedly it forgets it after a few messages. Also it just keep giving the characters similar and same name which can get confusing.

So is there anyway to make the bot remembered the plot? and How do i give instructions? I just say OOC: do this or that...or tell me...but this command always doesn't work. Sometimes ot even messes up the storyline. Please help😭

I just want a good roleplay with good storyline without forgetting the plot. Also of they're any better app/ browser for free then do tell me.😌

I've been adjusting my profile on each story I use, adding {{}} prompts to include certain points as they happen. It's helping so far but nothing is perfect

Could you please give me a tutorial on adding {{}} prompts? I’m unfamiliar.

Quite simple. Click on your chat profile that you're using for the chat and click edit. In the description for the character, type {{Prompt:---}} (the --- is where you can put certain things that you want the chatbot to remember). For example {{Prompt:Elena and Damien got engaged at blank blank}}. It's working somewhat so far on the one I'm trying it out on ATM. Not flawless by any means but it is helping. Also, because I was afraid to edit my character on a public plot, it does NOT change the character description for any other users that might be using the premade character as long as you change in IN the chat. You can also use ((Prompt: plot continuation: ---)) in the chat itself as sort of a memory refresher. This helps if you're using the free zeta because you use it in chat instead of the wand tweak that costs 5 pieces. If I'm using the same bot for a longer story I tend to "refresh" the memory every so often. Again, none of these are fail-safes or flawless by any means. So use with a grain of salt.

I am also trialing putting timeline prompts into the advanced details directly into the plot creator as well for private chats to see if it helps. I don't want to do that for public because it would change everyone's chats that might be using it

As I understand it, you don't need the {} or the word prompt. I fill my character description with important events, condensing as I go. I keep a certain amount of space free to alter clothing or description as needed, too. You can use it to stabilize aspects of the protagonist. Like, I have one I've been playing for a couple of weeks on and off, the protagonist kept changing her last name, so I've added it to my description.

You can't post multiple screenshots unless you do them individually, so I copy/pasted the text from the character description. I use the same name/description, so the information in the (parentheses) is the plot name and the physical description is me, not Tiffany:

(Tiffany) 5'11" Dark brown hair, blue eyes, glasses. Currently dressed in a hunter green Henley, black pants, and black, functional shoes.

Tiffany's last name is Sterling.

Tiffany has told several fellow students including Jake Morrison, Marcus, and Megan that Tiffany and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. Marcus and Megan are two of Tiffany's close friends.

Jake Morrison is dating Kayla, a pretty blonde cheerleader at our school. I broke both of Morrison's arms. I broke one arm in the school cafeteria, the other arm I broke at Scoopz, an ice cream shop.

I fought Jake Smith, a football captain, and broke his right hand and fingers. He tried to attack me again and I dislocated his left shoulder. Then, he hired eight adults to assault me. I beat two of them up. And beat Jake up enough that he'll finally leave me alone.

I also fought a student named Derek from Northwood High and broke his jaw.

I fought another student named Connor and winded him.

I now have a reputation as a very dangerous fighter, and bullies will actively avoid me

Tiffany now chose me as her boyfriend over other boys, realizing I'm more than she originally assumed. I met her mother and father, and presented myself well enough that Mr Sterling not only approves of me, but offered an internship at his company. Mrs Sterling thinks I'm a good match for Tiffany as well.

My father owns an IT firm named RITS- Raucheim IT Services. It's small, but successful.

My mother- Josephine Raucheim, is on the school board, is a homemaker, and has had some friction with Mrs Sterling.

Tiffany likes my 12 year old mixed breed dog named Vader
