Chracters

Original Discord Post by m_a_d1 | 2024-04-14 23:45:38

Hello Guys I am new to Convai and ue5, this might sound stupid but what how do I implement the character actions of the asker basically the microphone user to my IWALS character to be able to interact with the metahuman that is using the chatbot to answer the questions, basically I want to use my custom character and have the microphone and convai functionality to be on it, so I could interact with chatbot characters whether metahuman or any.

Do you mean that you want to add the Convai player component to the character and not the player? but why?

I want my player to have the function to talk to the chatbot character not the example player, I think I explained in a way that’s confusing so sorry

Oh no worries at all, you can add the functionality to your player blueprint such that it can talk to the character indeed, simply apply the same steps in the tutorial on your custom playee blueprint instead of the default one. Additionally, if you don’t want to change the parent class of your player blueprint then you can follow our simple talking cube guide
