I am trying to put multiple ConvAI characters into my Unreal Engine 5.4 app. I am comfortable getting the AI’s into the app, but I am having trouble using Triggers with them and all of the documentation or online videos seem to lack detailed instructions and examples.
I am trying to Trigger an AI appearing after the player has a conversation with another AI. I have no problem setting up the narrative structure for the initial conversation, but then can’t figure out how to use Triggers to get UE 5.4 to add a new AI (or how to effectively use Triggers within the ConvAI Narrative Design part of the website).
When I try to add a trigger to an existing Section, the Trigger ID dropdown menu blurs the screen but doesn’t let me choose or put in a Trigger ID. Please help. This is crucial for my project.
I was able to deal with the trigger being blurry issue, but I need to understand how to send information about completion of a section of designed narrative back to UE 5.4. How can the engine know a section of the narrative design is finished so it can then be programmed to move on?
