Blueprint Runtime Error: “Accessed None trying to read property Pickup Item”. Node: Attach Actor To Component Graph: EventGraph Function: Execute Ubergraph BP Taro Blueprint: BP_Taro
For some reason, the character 9/10 can’t pick up multiple version of the same object (sticks). It only picks up the first object. Once it found some other sticks. Above is the error that I get. In your example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phAkEFa6Thc&t=867s, you have a character going to a tree, or picking up an axe. Imagine that I want the character to pick up multiple axes; do you have any advice for programming this?

Characters feel life-like if conversations have consequences involving not only verbal responses but also behaviors and actions. This may include interacting with the environment or other characters. Convai’s NPCs can navigate complex verbal instructions and convert them to natural actions in the game engine. For example, characters can perform …

If you want to remove the object from the character, you need to call the Remove Object function, which is available in the Environment variable of the chat bot component.
For your case, you can use the narrative design feature. I am attaching documentation with the steps on how to set it up. Narrative Design - Google Docs

This is a simple demo about how to use Narrative Design in Unreal Engine. Below, you can see a simple Narrative Design consisting of 2 triggers: “On Player approach it” and “Reached Monument,” and 3 sections: “Welcome,” “Escort Player to Monument,” and “Speak about the Monument.” For this…

I’m not sure why you would need this in order to just pick up multiple sticks in an environment? Could you explain?

this is my setup, I have a stick object, when the player collides with it, it deletes the actor, and then casts to my convai character and tries to delete the stick from his references
it doesn’t work, bc when I do the print out, he still has all the sticks even when I remove them from the world and his list of objects
I must be doing something wrong?
also I have four sticks, and he often has weird behavior when I ask him to pick up a stick, like he just bends down and picks nothing up from the ground
<@960306118339473419> You can easily set up these game mechanics using Narrative Design. Regarding the Object array, it is primarily used to populate data when the game starts; beyond that, it is not utilized. Once you remove the object using the Remove function in the Environment, that object is also removed from the character’s information. You can verify this by checking the logs. Every time you interact with the character, an action_config is sent. You can review the logs to confirm what type of information the character is using to generate replies.
