hi. Please help me. I’m making a dialog system and I ran into a problem. I need a function from the character bluprint to be called at the end of the dialog for some choices. How do I do this? And also advise a good guide on the actor component topic. I will be grateful

Is the component in the character blueprint? If no, then where is it?

This, however, contradicts the subject and sounds like the opposite. In which case:

- I’d use an `Event Dispatcher` in the `Actor Component`:

- and catch it in the player BP:

You can add attributes to the dispatcher, in case you want to push some data along. Perhaps it’s important to know _which_ dialogue completed.
