RavenclawDev: RavenClawDev: reusing agents in another part of a tree

[Svetlana Stenchikova]

Hi,

I would like to reuse the agents for requesting date/time in another
branch of my dialog tree. These agents may have slightly different prompts
and fill out different concepts (of the same type). Is it possible to
implement this without the duplication of the agents?

thank you


To illustrate, my tree is as following:



DECLARE_AGENT(CTask)
	DECLARE_AGENT(CHowMayIHelpYou)
	DECLARE_AGENT(CHowMayIHelpYouAgain)
	DECLARE_AGENT(CDebugInformCommand)
	DECLARE_AGENT(CTaskAddEvent)
		DECLARE_AGENT(CGetQuery)
			DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestDateTime)
 	      			DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestWhen)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestDay)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestTime)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestSpecificTimes)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestStartTime)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestEndTime)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CDisambiguateDate)
						DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestUnambiguousDate)
						DECLARE_AGENT(CNeitherDate)
						DECLARE_AGENT(CFirstDate)
						DECLARE_AGENT(CSecondDate)
						DECLARE_AGENT(CPastDate)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CWrongTimeOrder)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CComputeEndTimeFromDuration)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CWrongDuration)
		DECLARE_AGENT(CDBAddEvent)
		DECLARE_AGENT(CInformAddedEvent)
	DECLARE_AGENT(CTaskListEvents)
		DECLARE_AGENT(CQueryFilter)
			DECLARE_AGENT(CInformQueryFilter)
			DECLARE_AGENT(CConfirmQueryFilter)
				DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestQueryEventsDateTime)
/*here would be a duplication of the CRequestDateTime  branch*/
				DECLARE_AGENT(CRequestQueryEventsType)
		DECLARE_AGENT(CDBGetEvents)
		DECLARE_AGENT(CListEvents)
	DECLARE_AGENT(CExpectAddCommand) /* add event command*/
	DECLARE_AGENT(CExpectQueryCommand) /* add event command*/
