Summary

While doing the Verse Device Tutorial using the Feature Examples: Verse Device template the avatar (NPC) never shows up in the game area.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new Project from the Feature Examples: Verse Device. Run the game and activate the Play Verse Commander Button.

Expected Result

Camera Transports to the play board with a controllable NPC and we can see what direction it is facing with an arrow. The Board, End Point, NPC character, and controls are visible.

Observed Result

The Board, End Point, and controls are visible, but the NPC character and it’s facing arrow that we are supposed to control are not visible at all.

Platform(s)

PC and Switch

Island Code

N/A

Additional Notes

The verse_commander_minigame_tag is already assigned to the minigame device. I placed some print code in the verse_commander_character.verse and its OnBegin Function is never getting called even though the spawn function is called. Looking in the documentation, NPC Spawner Devices are still in early access, and it states one of the options it is supposed to have is “character look” but the one in this project have no such option or property. I also have found 2 different tutorials that try to walk through this same template.

Thank you for the report, we’ll get someone to take a peek.
