Issue with Talk state not returning to Idle in Convai UE5

[lflores]

Good afternoon,

I have a question regarding an issue I’m experiencing with the Convai plugin in Unreal Engine.

When I run the project, the character works correctly: it listens to the question, responds properly, and enters the conversation state. However, once it finishes responding and is no longer speaking, the character keeps playing the conversation/talking animations.

In other words, visually the character keeps moving as if it were still talking, even though it is already silent.

I checked the Blueprints and noticed that, inside the state logic, the character changes from Idle to Talk when a question is asked, but after the response is finished it does not return correctly to the Idle state. It stays constantly in the Talk state.

It only seems to “update” when I ask a new question: it responds correctly again, but once it finishes, it gets stuck in the Talk state again and does not return to Idle.

I have already tried several possible solutions, but the issue still persists:

• I downloaded and installed the latest version of the plugin again.

• I created a new project from scratch.

• I tried a different Unreal Engine version, switching from UE5.7 to UE5.6.

• I tried assigning a different character from Convai.

• I am currently using plugin beta version 4.19.

Even after all of this, the problem continues.

I’m attaching an image where you can see that the Talk state remains active for a long time, even though the character is no longer speaking.

Could you please help me understand why the character does not return to the Idle state after it finishes speaking?

I would like to know:

1. Is there any specific node, event, or callback that indicates when Convai has finished speaking?

2. What is the correct way to detect that the response has finished in order to return to the Idle state?

3. Could this be an issue with plugin beta version 4.19?

4. Is there any recommended configuration in the Animation Blueprint or in the Convai Player Component to prevent the character from getting stuck in the Talk state?

5. Should I manually force the transition from Talk to Idle, or should the plugin handle this automatically?

I need to know how to solve this issue so that, once the character finishes responding, it exits the Talk state and correctly returns to Idle.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello, now it works much better, but I’ve noticed something unusual: if I leave the character unused for a long period, it automatically disconnects from the server. Could you please tell me where I can disable that option? Normally, the character is used sporadically, and there can be a long time between uses. I wouldn’t want it to stop working if it hasn’t been used for 30 minutes. Thank you very much.

Could you take a look at this thread?

Server timeout after 450 seconds after being idle

I have a more important question than the other one i posted. In Unreal Engine 5.7.4 with the newest version of the SDK when being “idle” for 450 seconds the server disconnects automatically. Is there anything i can do about that? The really bad thing is that it never reconnects, so maybe this is what i would prefer to solve, but even requests for interactions like typing messages or recording the voice with push to talk dont lead to reconnection.
