Introduction

Welcome to the dynamic realm of character actions! Just imagine: your meticulously crafted characters are no longer standing still, but rather dancing, waving, or even performing complex maneuvers at your command. Isn't it exhilarating to think about the endless possibilities? Whether you want to add a simple gesture or craft an intricate sequence of movements, this page will serve as your gateway. Dive in to learn how to enable your characters into action.

Please note that the action section discussed here is specifically for using actions in the Convai Playground and is not related to game engine mechanics.

Overview

Let's examine the Actions interface, and then explore how to assign actions to your characters.

Character without Actions

Let us prompt the character, and observe their response before enabling any specific actions.

Adding Actions

  • Add your preferred action

  • Click the 'Update' button to refresh your character, then prompt it to execute the chosen action.

Complex Action Sequences

  • Add Further Actions to Your Character and click 'Update'

  • Prompt your complex action

Activate the 'Enable Action Generation' feature

Sequence of Actions
You can give commands in a natural manner. Exact wording isn't necessary; as long as the character understands and the action is within its repertoire, it will perform.
