I want to have two NPC characters interact with each other, and I would like to use Metahumans for both characters. I’ve been watching tutorials, but simply selecting Metahumans at the location shown in this screenshot, resulting in an error and defaulting to the male character. Are there any other settings that need to be changed?

I have already enabled conversations between first player and characters equipped with Convai using Metahuman in another game project.
In the sample project, I could see Ready Player Me avatars are talking but I couldn’t replace them with two MetaHumans. Could this be an issue with the class settings? The parent class for both characters is set to “convai NPC2NPC Chatbot Handler.”

Hey both parent classes need to be ConvaiBaseCharacter, or alternatively if you don’t want to change the parent class, then simply adding the ConvaiChatbot component should do the trick.
