I followed the tutorials on your youtube page but the metahuman character will not follow me. He says he can follow me then just stands there in idle.

Hi <@285881364019019776>, ensure that there’s navigation mesh placed, when you hit P you should see the whole ground colored in green

Additionally could you share the logs after an interaction, we can look for other clues on why it’s not working

BTW i’m using VR
Reply by freezfast | 2024-03-26 01:10:27
I see, should work regardless of VR or normal, thrn the logs is our only clue, also if possible try out the actions sample project

i check out the action sample project and make sure that is working.
Reply by freezfast | 2024-03-26 01:11:32
so it is working in the sample project but not in your VR project?

Try out the character follow command in a first person project then, let’s try to isolate the issue

it worked in the demo. i’m looking at the convai base character blueprint. it looks like it checks for the player that prompted the follow action then attempts to follow.

it worked right after i check the generate actions box. then i went out and moved an object so the bot could walk through the level properly. now it wont work again. the bot asks me to clarify…

the first interaction in the log has the actions enabled but the second one does not, I beleive you used send text for the second one
Reply by freezfast | 2024-03-26 03:09:27
make sure that actions is enabled for both text and audio

i got it to work. i had to ad the player to the environment.
Reply by .thattechguy | 2024-03-26 03:44:32

Reply by freezfast | 2024-03-26 03:45:13

are you all making some more tutorials for adding a new action?

You can get the character to notice what your are looking at by setting the Attention Object, check this guide here and of course we will continue to create new tutorials
