Metahuman Actions

Unreal Engine Questions

Hi convai team,

I’m currently building a personal project using three MetaHumans. One of them plays the role of a school principal who guides the user to two different classrooms – one for language and one for math. I’ve already created the entire environment, and all three MetaHumans have been successfully integrated using the Convai plugin.

However, I’m facing issues with the character movements and actions. Many of the actions are inconsistent – some work correctly, while others don’t. For example, although I’ve enabled actions in the settings, sometimes the teacher takes me to the right classroom, but doesn’t return to her original position even though I’ve given her the command. Similarly, another teacher might attempt to take me to the school entrance or to the principal, but the action never completes.

I’ve watched the related tutorials on your YouTube channel, but unfortunately they didn’t help me resolve the issues I’m facing.

Also, I’d like to mention that this is a personal project and not a professional one. I’m currently using the free plan. Could this be part of the reason for the inconsistent behavior? If so, which plan would you recommend to ensure more reliable performance for projects like this?

Thank you very much for your time!

Hello @Konstantinos_Rantos,

Welcome to the Convai Developer Forum

First, I’d like to clarify that the issue is not related to your current plan. The Free plan is designed to allow users to explore and test Convai’s capabilities.

From your description, it sounds like the issue is likely related to your level’s NavMesh setup or how the actions are being triggered and handled.

To better assist you, I’d recommend the following:

  1. Clear your console logs before starting the test to remove any unrelated messages.

  2. Play your level and try to reproduce the issues (e.g., ask the character to take you to the classroom and return).

  3. Share the full console logs after the issue occurs. This will help us understand exactly what’s happening in the background.

Once we have that, we can provide more specific guidance. Looking forward to helping you move this project forward!
