Is there a good way for a NPC to ignore a player trying to interrupt them while they’re speaking? Sometimes it would be useful.

Hello <@249594950071746561>, remove interruption method from blueprint.

Hey, this seems like a method to permanently disable interruption, I want to dynamically change it between different triggers. I guess for now I can think of something myself, but it would be useful in the future for the Invoke functions to have a bool “Can Be Interrupted”. Or just one bool for the chatbot component itself would be fine.

It seems removing the interruption method from blueprint isn’t possible as it’s a part of the ChatbotComponent C++ class. And there InterruptSpeech is not a virtual void, so it can’t be overwritten either in a C++ child class

You can ignore by setting a barnch right after the T keyboard event, and basically check if the character is currently talking or not, if the character is talking the we do nothing

<@1216254232957685765> could you provide a quick screenshot of how this can be done? It would basically us the IsTalking function on the ChatbotComponent

that’s a good idea, I’ll test that out. But yeah, that’s still a permanent change
