Hello, In my project the NPC dont trigger talk animation. Always is active idle animation, but, checking “Convai_MetaHuman_BodyAnim” there is a variable “is_talking” that if activated(is_talking=true) the animation in the conversation is also activated.

How can I control the activation of this variable(is_talking) from the BP_NPC ?

I have tried to expose the variable “is_talking” to be able to modify it from the BP_NPC but I have not been able to do it.

I imagine that there is an easier way, normal and already implemented by you.

Any TIP to solve this issue ?
Thanks !!!

I have been having this issue for a couple of weeks as well.
If you turn on the “is_talking” variable the NPC will always play the talking animation but it will not go to idle.

I haven’t found a solution for this either.

I think I have a temporary solution, with the tests I have done it works fine for me. Here is something:

Thanks! I’ll give that a try.
That was on the level BP or the Metahuman BP?

you get an instance from body “drag and drop” and follow the image.
