There are some situations where I want to say something to the npcs but not receive a response.
Is there a way of doing that?

Yup definitely, try checking the following guide: Event-Aware Convai Characters | Documentation

Hmm, not sure that page covers it. I’ve been testing with the invoke speech node, it always elicits a response

Oh I see what you mean now, the feature doesn’t yet exist in the marketplace plugin but you can read about here: Narrative Design Keys | Documentation

You will need to read more about the narrative design feature before being able to utilize narrative design keys , you will also need to get the latest plugin release off github to activate this feature, read more about so from here: GitHub - Conv-AI/Convai-UnrealEngine-SDK: This Unreal Engine plugin integrates Convai API for conversational AI and environment perception and action-taking by the AI in Unreal Engine.

Ah, yeah I compiled my plugin from git hub last week I think. Have been trying out the narrative design, don’t really think its what I’m after either.

I’m using ‘Send Text’ currently. Essentially I just want to give the NPC some information but should not say anything at all in response ( they are listening to a conversation, so need to be able to receive the text of the conversation so they have awareness )

I have put in character description to only say “oh” when they are told not to respond, and have voice responce toggled off on the “Send Text” node. But the chat window gets cluttered with NPC saying oh constantly
