Hi I’m having some problems getting Actions working. I tried adding them to my existing project by following the documentation and a Convai video on the subject. After completing the steps, when I ask the character to dance, nothing happens. To try to rule out something to do with my project being an issue, I created a new Unity project, installed the Convai SDK (3.1.0), opened the “Convai Demo - Action” scene, and ran that, I couldn’t get the Dance Action to work. I never altered anything as I assumed it is setup ready to go, I did look at the settings within it and my project has the same setup for the components I have used. I know it’s probably something I’m not doing or I’m doing wrong, I’ve been at it 3 or 4 hours without success so thought I’d best ask for some help if possible please.
Everything at default values like in the animator, I don’t understand it. I’ve altered some Convai scripts in a different project but not in this project it’s new one I created specifically for testing Actions.
I added the Convai Demo - Full Features scene didn’t change anything she wouldn’t dance. I’m switching my PC off until tomorrow now so no worries I will try again tomorrow will redownload the SDK and import it again, I have had Actions working about 10 days ago when I was experimenting adding a Reallusion character by following 1 of your videos.

I tested Steve for actions in the Convai Demo Full Features scene and it worked, so it must be something I’m doing wrong which is what I thought. So I’ll get back to it, thanks for your assistance, will try again today, I’m confident I will solve it, I will look closely at how it is setup in the Demo scene and mirror it in my own app, thanks again

There might be a problem.

I think a script change I made in ConvaiNPC.cs (so I could use my own controller/button setup) may have stopped actions working for me by creating an error in ConvaiActionsHandler.cs. In my main project I have this in ConvaiNPC (it has the VR button in the IF statement but for testing purposes I am using the key ‘C’ here) :
When I added this to Convai Full Features Demo ConvaiNPC.cs script (like in my main project) in which the actions had just worked fine with Steve, I get this error :
for this code in the Update() method in ConvaiActionsHandler, after I say ‘Can you dance?’, " private void Update()
{
if (actionResponseList.Count > 0)
{
Debug.Log(“************ In Update(), actionResponseList = " + actionResponseList[0]);
ParseActions(actionResponseList[0]);
actionResponseList.RemoveAt(0);
}
}” the console output is "************ In Update(), actionResponseList = None
" which to me (I could be wrong, please correct me if I am) evaluates if actionResponseList has any values within it and it evaluates to true, but when I try to output the value at index 0 the value it outputs is “None”. “None” is not a standard Unity output for an error or something, this must be being set somewhere in code? When I run this in my project without the amendment to ConvaiNPC.cs, the console out from the Update method is “************ In Update(), actionResponseList = Dance”.
