Jan. 30th, 2024 Convai Test & Trouble Shoot

This week my goal is to test Convai with costume character (not provided by Convai) in Unity, and it came with a lot trouble. And I found out the Convai is more like a knowledge bank and background setting for character.

And I add my own character into the test ground, and able to interact with player. And the response time from text to reaction is in few seconds.

But there is a usage limitation on free plan, 100 interaction per day including text, voice and action.

Here is the list for error and some of them I found solution, the rest I will keep trying to solve.

Erorr 1: Player keep falling out of the ground + Unity error (Sloved)

Solution: Ask Convai discord for help, and they provide me a solid solution which adds a input manager prefabs.

Erorr 2: Convai head tracking script didn't work on costume character (Sloved)

Solution: Using a new script to rotate the whole body instead of head rotation, although the performance is not good as Convai's script.

Error 3: No lip sync on costume character (didn't solve)

Since there are no animation rig for Jaw Bone and Tongue Bone, and couldn't leave it empty

This must be reminded when we apply our own model into test ground. And I will keep testing the limitations for Convai.
