Unable to get Character to do basic Actions (follow me)

Hey @K3

I followed this tutorial and got my Avatar into my game.
It can chat with me (even able to play custom animations), but anytime I try to get it to do the basic actions like follow me or go to an object i tagged, it doesn’t move (I made sure to have the NavMeshBoundsVolume). I built paths and i can see the ground highlighted green.

It says “I’d love to walk with you, but I’m actually really excited to get to know you better, so let’s take a stroll and chat, kya” but doesnt move at all.

Additionally i did a test of the metahuman base tutorial on a new blank project and it works. but then i tried again and they didnt follow me.
Is this due to extraversion or agreeableness trait? Or is it about having the embodied actions “Enable Action Generation” on/off in the website of the character?

Also because I’m on the free plan to test before i purchase, how do i know how many sessions i have left? i’d hate to lose all my ability to chat just because I’m stuck on this looping issue.

Thanks for your message!

From the logs you shared, I can confirm that the action is being successfully sent from Convai:
ConvaiGRPCLog: Action: Moves To

This indicates that the issue is likely related to your NavMesh configuration in the scene. Could you please share a screenshot of your scene where both the NPC and the target object are clearly visible along with the NavMesh area? This will help us better diagnose the problem.

Additionally, I noticed your API Key was included in the logs, so I’ve removed the logs for your security. We strongly recommend regenerating your API Key via your account at convai.com and updating it in your project to keep your integration secure.

Appreciate your understanding, and feel free to share the screenshot so we can assist you further!



@K3 Here are the images of it talking to me, saying it can follow, but doesnt. The nav mesh pathing and the character showing it has the correct ai controller.

Thank you and let me know what else i can provide! Im also available to hop on a quick google meets if necessary. I’d hate to get stuck here in my exploration.

I’ll test it and let you know.

@K3 is there an update or can i provide anything else?

I can’t reproduce the issue on my end. Could you please try testing it in the First Person Template Level and let us know if the problem still occurs there?
