Setup default voice + animation response on connection failure

Hello,
We are developing a AI Kiosk character using convAI+UE5, and Character Creator. We would like to add a default responce and animation from the character if a connection to the convai server fails for what ever reason (bad connection etc…)

Can you point me to where the connection is made in the blueprints? Or is there a best practice to set this fallback up? As the AI voice is generated, perhaps having a pre-recorded audio and animation clip to call?

Many thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Hello @dan.barksie,

Welcome to the Convai Developer Forum!

In your ConvaiCharacter’s Blueprint, select the ConvaiChatBot component, and in the Details panel, navigate to the Event section.

There, you can use the On Failure Event.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further guidance. :blush:

Legend, thankyou!

Just out of interest, are there any best practices to handle a failure for a kiosk type experience? Maybe some other projects developed with convai or solutions on the forums. Jeff suggested to ask here first :slight_smile:

Again, appreciate the help. Thanks

Unfortunately, I can only assist with Convai-related topics. I don’t have insights on this specific subject, but you might find useful information by checking other forums or exploring AI-driven solutions. :blush:
