So I finally got around to trying the NPC group conversations and it was quite easy and very cool to see two characters discussing a topic.

The main issue I noticed was that one spoke to the other as if the other was a player sitting at a PC. They also called each other by the opposite name.

I think this has potential for one of my apps but these issues might get in the way. Maybe I set it up wrong?

Could you please share the Character IDs you are using?

Might be more to do with sequencing. Is the first character in the group list always the first to speak? They should definitely not assume they are talking to the player but rather the non-them in the group.

Well, never mind. There was an error in your NPC2NPCConversationManager script that made the speaking character refer to the other character by the wrong name. Fixed that and it seems fine now. Thanks ChatGPT!
