**Original Discord Post by evan5976 | 2024-07-24 07:21:17** Hi Everyone. I’m working on a project and added Idle and talking animation. Both animations are working properly but when I’m adding these animation in their respective nodes in convai reallusion, only the idle animatio function is working. I even try to put my talking animation and connect it to idle to see if its working and yes its working. So I think the problem or the issue is in the talking animation. Can anyone help me with this? ---

**Reply by freezfast | 2024-07-29 22:52:15** Hi \<@520549119396282368\>, make sure to set looping on all your animations, it might have been set to false and therefore the talking animation would play only once and then stop ---

**Reply by evan5976 | 2024-07-30 04:32:43** Hi \<@365628745886859267\>, yes I already set the enabled the looping for the animations. I thought it was the problem but then when I enabled it, it still not working. ---

**Reply by evan5976 | 2024-07-31 04:27:28** I already installed the new version. It seems the new version fixed the issue of talking animation for the metahuman. But on my custom character, it still not working. I am using Convai reallusion for my custom character. ---

**Reply by freezfast | 2024-07-31 10:38:29** I see, Reallusion is indeed a different animation blueprint from MetaHuman, the only thing that would cause the talking animation not to work is either the animation itself is broken, so just double check by opening it, the other reason would be that looping is not set to true, the last reason is that yhe transition animation is not set ---

**Reply by evan5976 | 2024-07-31 14:56:44** I already test the animation and plug it in the idle animation to see if its working. For the looping part, I already enabled it. so I think that is also not the reason. and last for the transition, I already set it with Idle animation as its transition. **Images:** ![image.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/convai/original/2X/8/8b36d310da253da7865b144ab1842c6e8ca48bc1.png) ![image.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/convai/original/2X/9/9a96bbc12b285fae5422f9465373d706f01b153a.png) ---

**Reply by evan5976 | 2024-08-01 13:22:53** Any updates on this issue? for the Convai Reallusion for custom character? I think its the same issue that occurs on metahuman. I think you can fix it just the same as what you did to fix the issue on metahuman? ---
