I have a problem where characters in the distance respond. How do I stop this and only have close characters talking. Or can I turn off responses on these?

Hello \<@727560782979530792\> , You can adjust the value of MaxChatDistance, which is set to 800 by default. You can modify it according to your needs in the ConvaiBasePlayer.
