How can I see the convai menu and chat messages when in VR on UE. I can talk to the characters in VR but when they don’t respond or glitch I have no menu to show me the chats.

\<@1113035775509004369\> Were you able to get the messages to appear correctly in VR? I saw you had a similar issue, watched the YT video they posted but that does not fully solve the VR UI problem, thanks

Hi \<@459184636723986433\> \<@1113035775509004369\>, the challenge with VR UI is that it can’t be a normal 2d widget, instead it needs to be a 3d widget we have a tutorial down the line that shows how to do so, even create a 3d widget over each character where you can see the conversation with the character when tou go near him so it doesn’t bug you all the time

But this will take time until it’s available, I recommend you guys watch a tutorial about 3d widgets and how to create them (there are plenty of resources online) and try to put the chat\_wb on that 3d widget

\<@1113035775509004369\> your issue is different, you mention that the code doesn’t compile/package at all, could you share the logs or any symptoms?
