Project Settings

In order to make Narrative Pro work, we need to change some settings on the project. Sadly we cannot do this directly from the plugin for you, but it's easy to do.

Download

For ease, you can download the config files here:

Config Files

Extract them inside your projects Config folder replacing all other files. You will have to restart Unreal.

note

These config files should work in most instances. If they don't, try going through the manual configuration below.

Manual

Go to Edit -> Project Settings

warning

The settings we are about to set must be named the exact same name we state here. Functionality will not work if you don't name it the same.

Collision

note

You must enter the collision profiles in the correct order. You will run into issues if they are mixed up.

Go to Engine -> Collision

Click New Trace Channel...

Set a new channel called:

NarrativeInteraction

and the Default Response to Ignore then click Accept

Set another new channel called:

NarrativeWeapon

and the Default Response to Block then click Accept
