Replacing FirstPersonCharacter with static CineCameraActor

[Christopher_Strommer]

I want to replace the FirstPersonCharacter with a static camera to avoid accidental inputs that move the camera and to tweak some camera settings.
I created a graph in the Level Blueprint to call the Chat_WB but it’s not showing some elements of the UI and the Chat function doesn’t work.
What am I missing?
I appreciate any help!

Hello @Christopher_Strommer, to resolve this issue you can use the Convai Convenience Pack.

Here’s how to integrate it step-by-step:

1. Import the Convai Plugin to your project, if you haven’t already.

2. Download the Convenience Pack from our GitHub: Convai Convenience Pack - GitHub

3. Unzip and place the ConvaiConveniencePack folder into your project’s Content directory.

4. Open your Character Blueprint:

   • If your current Parent Class is ConvaiBaseCharacter, revert it (you don’t need to change the Parent Class).

   • In the Components section, add BP_ConvaiChatbotComponent and FaceSync.

   • In the Details panel of BP_ConvaiChatbotComponent, enter your Character ID.

   • Click on the Body component, and set Anim Class to Convai_Metahuman_BodyAnim.

   • Click on the Face component, and set Anim Class to Convai_Metahuman_FaceAnim.

5. Add your character to the Level.

6. Open your Player Blueprint:

   • You don’t need to change the Parent Class.

   • Add the BP_ConvaiPlayerComponent in the Components section.

7. Copy Input Nodes:

   • Go to ConvaiConveniencePack/Sample/BP_ConvaiSamplePlayer.

   • Scroll to the bottom and copy all nodes related to:

     • Hold T to talk

     • Press Enter to type

     • Press F10 to open settings

   • Paste them into your own Player Blueprint.
