**Original Discord Post by leean1 | 2024-10-14 17:04:14**

I was following the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmhoNXUhc1U&t=901s&ab\_channel=Convai](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmhoNXUhc1U&t=901s&ab_channel=Convai)  
And was trying to get my Convai character to move to a specific spot using Narrative Design. However, when the character attempts to move to that location. The character just walks in place and I get the following errors.  
Error][Character]: Convai Action Settings missing. Please create a game object that handles actions.  
[Stack Trace - Method: Awake, at Line: 50 in File: C:\Users\Water\_Treatment\_Plant\Assets\Convai\Scripts\Runtime\Features\Actions\ConvaiActionsHandler.cs]

but my character has the Actions Handler and Nav Mesh component.

In the video they made some changes to the ActionsHandler script. Should I have made those changes too? They also defaulted the NavMesh agent to be inactive.

Can you clarify on this set of instructions? Link this Move Target Indicator to your NPC’s action script so it updates dynamically when you point the cursor to the ground and ask the NPC to move to “There”.
