Unreal Engine 4 - The Easiest NPC Dialogue Tutorial EVER 

I forgot to mention, set the TextRender to hidden in game in the viewport. So it starts hidden. Also if you change your Camera Position & PlayerLocation in game, you'll have to drag and drop in a new NPC to reset the values back to the ones we created in the variabels :) Thanks for all the support team, see you in the next one!

Doing this again today, ran into some issues last time and I think I figured out what I did wrong. These are great tutorials but just wanna say don't be afraid to do no copy and pasting. I know it be more work for you but having it be a bit longer or maybe in 2 parts but going through the bp's more in depth because you've got a great recipe. Bless. Subscribed last time I was here.

you did an amazing job explaining everything, def deserve more viewers and subs! awesome job man

Super helpful! Thank you for your tutorial

Thanks so much for this! The blueprints are very easy to understand but it was definitely a little overwhelming just copy-pasting a whole bunch of code. Although the blueprints provided ensure to disable character movement, if you have any keys held when you press E, those keys don't get released. So, if you're running and press E while you're still running, your character will just run out of the viewport and keep running forever. But it was such a simple fix. Go to your third-person blueprint, right before the ActivateDialogue node, add the "Disable Input" node and also bring in a "Get Player Controller" node and connect it to the "Player Controller" pin inside of the "Disable Input" node. That's it!

Thank you very much for this really good video !

What a great video! Thanks.

Thank you very much for this tutorial! Very well explained and I'm learning so much from it.

Very nice bro, well done this is elegant. You've come a long ways mate 👍

Very helpful video thanks

Thank you!!

Think I'm gonna need this in my next game, good timing and great explained as everytime 👌 Edit: you nailed the thumbnail with this one 😁

Amazing tutorial. Straight to the point and very useful information. New SUB!!

Another great tutorial :)

Thank you so much!!

Perfect thumbnail and very interesting for the future

Very nice style, gained a sub

AWESOME!

Obrigado pelo conteudo amigo, muito bem explicado! me ajudou bastante no meu projeto... mais um inscrito e Like!! Não sei como as pessoas veem um conteudo desse e dão deslik!

Tutorial is 💯 and the thumbnail is 💯

Is anyone else unable to end the convo? I downloaded the full project and have everything the same but I can't end the chat.

Thank you. Was able to setup an interacting with ThirdPersonCharacters and other objects that use the interface.

2:52 In " Does Implement interface " click select class, choose " NPC_interact " 6:49 delete custom event, and add " event active dialogue " , and connect to the " print string ". I know, is on the video, but sometimes, we can be lost. 7:28 " bad cast node " replace with " cast to thirdpersoncharacter " or " cast to firstpersoncharacter " Credit to @Vidar Norén too 7:54 Near event " PlayerAdjustments " add event " interact " or " event key e " and connect to the " Set Input Mode UI Only " : )

Your tutorials are soo helpful, my project is mostly done with your tutorials xD xD. I am excited for part 2

For those of you that didn't have "event activate dialogue" option, implement the NPC interact interface in the NPC class.

perfect

Tysm :)

Great tutorial, many thanks! Only problem when using "Move Camera + Player Over Time" the player seems to slide into cone location instead of walk as in the beginning of the vid. I'm using UE5

Thank you for doing this tutorial but I have a issue that when I press my key the camera doesn't function could you let me how can I fix it ?

This is amazing when will the part 2 be available?

How do I end the dialogue and resume play?

Awesome video, I have learned a lot from it, however I am stuck as when I pasted the stuff onto the event graph I still wasn't sure how to get rid of the errors. If you could give me some more in depth advise on how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. :)

ive been attempting UE4 for ever and cant really force myself to move forward with blueprints... i always get stuck on character creation in Blender... i finally attempted a BP tutorial.... though its very confusing on how to come up with these connections.. i think im getting way more comfortable following tutorials and trouble shooting within UE4 i think thats the most valuable thing i got out of this.. great tutorial... great pace! cant wait to give this robot some dialogue

when i copy and paste the stuff from bp it some things wont appear

I searched for "npc interaction unreal". It brought me here. Thank you and have a great day.

can i use this for my game?

Do you mind if I do this with transition visibility?

Ah nice one, this is cool! I'm following along with the FPS template and it didn't work for me at first. I re-watched to make sure I didn't miss anything and I noticed that my "Event Activate Dialogue' custom event had a typo. Just a heads up to double check that one if it's not working. Anyways, thanks for sharing with us dude!!

Yo, thanks for the tutorial! Everything seems to be working but my character turns 90 degrees away from the NPC. What could I possibly do to fix this? I'm very inexperienced when it comes to UE.

I feel like I'm the only one who follows your tutorials and at the end it doesn't work. @-@ What am I doing wrong! Idk.

The only thing I missed and took a bit for me to get was this: 6:49 Delete the "custom event", then add " event active dialogue " node instead so it has the blueprint pic in corner, and connect to the " print string " Adding this for later mention.

for some reason mine only works when i disable consume for the E key any reasons why?

what can i do when it says "cant connect pins object and other actor"?

compiling error "This blueprint (self) is not a PrimitiveComponent, therefore ' Target ' must have a connection." how can I fix it please ? thank you for the tutorial

i can't keep up with the vid unfortunately as i am rather new, however, is there any way you can explain how i can add the camera to my already made dialogue? Like the dialogue interactions are done,, i just needed to integrate the camera in somehow

Hey, can you please show us how to put a really nice menu like from AAA games on stuff like this ?

HI I am watching your video but the activate dialogue does not appear :I, is there some way that you can help? :)

you deserve way more clout than you have

Bro i have problem it wont change to camera position only text above his had disaper and thats it i wact the full vid 3 time make evryting right and there is no errors but still it wont change to camera i dont know why pls help

Hi, how can I create multiple NPC with different blueprints and using the same dialog system? The end chat is giving me issues.

Awesome tutorial Beardgames! everything work perfectly, except for the player character's position, it simply will not move to the position of the cone, wondering what I am doing wrong, do you have any insights? Thanks for the tutorial, moving onto part 2!

Found your tutorial, ran through it, but my player won’t seem to interact with it. As in nothing happens? Why? What did I miss?

Do u know how to do a dialogue system kind of like how the game The Beginners Guide does? I’m trying to do something like that and I’d really appreciate it if u could look into that. Thank u!

How do I make a dialouge system with Pawns instead of characters, im making a Car RPG where every character is a car.

when i hit E nothing happens :'(

Is this gamepad compatible?

Hi, how can I create multiple NPC with different blueprints and using the same dialog system? The endchat is giving me issues. Thanks in advance

I am trying to add this to a two class RPG. Even though I followed the tutorial completely, when I press E nothing happens. Does anyone have any idea why ?

Quick question, does this work in unreal engine 5?

Anybody knows why my quest qiver vanishes when i open the game?

How do you exit the interaction once you've entered it?

@Beargames I cannot get the event to trigger when I interact with it. The event activate dialouge is not available to me even though I copied from your link as mentioned in the video, how do I reference it? I can keep getting custom events instead.

Can this translate to a 2d sidescroller?

I love your video it helped me a lot, I just got one problem, when I interact with the npc the player 1. Slides to the position instead of using the animation I gave him 2. Doesn't rotate to directly face the npc, it just faces him when you talk to him in a specific rotation 3. When I'm walking and interact with the npc sometimes the player just walkes away while the cam changes Hope you see this and can help me

I always watched videos and got help. :) I'm looking to use this quest mark asset for commercial purposes, and I'd like to discuss this. How can I contact you?

Any guess why after interacting with the NPC, my character resumes his walking speed and direction right after the black screen animation?

Love following halfway through a tutorial before it forces you to start downloading files, why not show the nodes on screen clearly for people on mobile?

Hi There, I've implemented the system however the chat just won't end. I'm using 4.27 so some things were broken which I've fixed, but the End Chat call in NPC_Dialogue is looking for a target (which I give as the NPC), as it won't take 'self'. This results in: Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property NPC_Ref". Blueprint: NPC_Dialogue Function: Execute Ubergraph NPC Dialogue Graph: EventGraph Node: End Chat. In the game this means the chat won't end when I have a goodbye response. Do I need to target the player or something else? What is the target used for in the EndChat Function in anycase as I can't see where its' used. Any thoughts/help?

Great tutorial! Would you be so kind as to do a tutorial on creating NCPs similar to Assassin Creed (reacting to bumping, running away when seeing danger, interacting with one another, etc....) It would be much appreciate it.

Followed this to the letter.... doesn't work

your the brakeys of unreal

FOR PEOPLE who has problem with this: 6:53, change "custom event" to "event active dialogue"

5:41 I can't find the camera transform to change the position, can you help me? I will subscribe for sure if you can help me to fix this "problem"

Im currently having an issue where my character keeps moving in the direction they were moving in if they interacted with the npc while moving. Any tips for this?

Hello guys, my name is Dan. I am new in unreal engine 4.26 , can you help me with a tutorial with how can I setup a non playbale character? I have my Third pesoon charcacter setup but I dont know how to add a second non playble to interact with. Thanks

I get a bad cast node at 6:35 and cant seem to fix it, what should I do?

This tutorial doesn't work properly for some reason. If I am a beginner in unreal you can say okay you might have a mistake but nope. I've watched the video even twice and everything is the same, but when you click "E" to interact with the NPC nothing happens. I see in the comments that some people have the same issue as me and I am still trying to find a fix but unsuccessfully

is it multplayer compatable?

Hey Beardgames. So, I've been trying to find a decent tutorial video for the process, to no avail. I don't know if you have ever tried your hand in it, but do you think you could make a "Character Creator" System? I'm a particular fan of the character creator system from Nioh 2 (seen here- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UPocLaya_gg.html) but that's mostly because I like how realistic the characters look, and the different options available.

Hi, first of all, thanks for the tutorial, you are the best! I have a problem, when my player character interacts, in the cutscene the character is facing away from the NPC. How can I fix this?

why when i press f nothing happens? i check the video a lot of times and i can seee the error any ideas guys?

I am having an issue with this... BP_NPC > Event Graph > Flash Screen - Teleport Character > all the way at the bottom of the box > Get World Rotation [Target is Scene Component] > Return Value Z (Yaw) > float + float pin gives error "float + float - Commutative associative binary operator inputs must all be of the same type." Tt also gives the error "Input pin B specifying non-default value no longer exists on node float + float . Please refresh node or reset pin to default value to remove pin." The same thing is happening for the other float + float pins that are located on the " Flash Screen - Teleport Camera" and the "Move Camera + Player Over time to Location" boxes. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the dumb question but should someting happen when i press "E" on the npc? Because i did everything just the way you did and nothing happens.

helpp i cant did it :((((

I walk up to the npc and press E. Nothing happens. I did everything correctly. Why won’t it work?

I had watched over this three times and still not managed to get it to work. The interaction between my character and the NPC when pressing E does not seem to do anything. Any idea why that would be?

Is there a way to force your character to face the npc when they spawn at the cone? My character practically has their back to them and the camera

Followed this tutorial again today. and it corrupted one of my blueprints.

This would be helpful is part 2 didn't break everything.

so when I follow this in Unreal Engine 5, I'm trying to use this for a top down game template. but after fixing the timeline, my alpha connections are not red, but upon re-seating them anyway, the addition node just under that, throws an error. is there anyone who knows how to solve that error? :FIXED: replace nodes with errors and change the "custom event" to "activate dialog".

everything works except that my character keeps walking after interaction starts how do i stop the movement? i saw one comment about a stop movement node but i have no idea where that goes

i did everything as you said, but i still cant interact with the npc, plus the placing of my camera and cone are a bit wonky

You are doing UI anchors wrong

when i press the E it doesn't work

Part 1 is a really good tutorial but do not waste your time going to part 2 -- it gets super complicated and a lot of the links that you download into the project are broken and you have to fix them yourself ... trust me I know becuase I was trying this. Anyways just take what you can from part 1 and follow a different tutorial.

where is part 2 mate?

the copy paste at the end was lazy. so annoying to come so far.

Sry bro you lost me at 1:00 when you are moving things around and doing other stuff so fast. I am not native english speaker so I struggled hearing and following your actions.

Not helpful for learning. At around 7 minutes in we are told to copy and paste a big chuck of blueprint in without help making it work or explaining it. That's where I gave up and moved on to something else. Having to stop start rewind these tutorials is normal. Please remove the terrible generic music.

i love wasting my time on nothing! EDIT: Tried on UR4 Aswell and not working when i press E key, so diapointed with the video, it made me lost all my day on nothing, Dislike
