**Reply by gamedevmaster | 2024-09-27 14:06:23** This issue occurs when we apply facial animation in the NPC blueprint. For example, playing an animation like anger using Convai Actions causes the problem. However, body animations work fine. ---

**Reply by freezfast | 2024-09-27 14:30:16** ahh I see now what you’re trying to do, to do that you would need to apply the following changes over the Convai Face Animation Blueprint **Images:** ![image.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/convai/original/2X/9/9d466145a7c7ad8525888d48fb5fa2c327822933.jpeg) ---

The montage was working fine, and I had already added the Default Slot node to play the montage, but the head still detaches from the body. ---
