Set Speaker Actor

Blueprint display name: Set Speaker Actor
Declaring type: UAdvancedDialogueComponent
Blueprint category: Dialogue|Speakers
Exposure: BlueprintCallable

What it does

Link this exact Speaker Asset to an Actor in the level before starting or resuming a dialogue. Example: SP_Anna and the Anna Actor instance, not its Blueprint class. Call once per speaker on this component; each call replaces only that speaker’s link. None removes it. Optional for text and portraits. Links are not saved: register again after loading a level. Changes apply to future camera requests and line presentations.

C++ declaration

void SetSpeakerActor(UAdvancedDialogueSpeaker* Speaker, AActor* Actor);

Inputs, outputs and Blueprint pins

Parameter	Declared type	Direction / default	Meaning
Speaker	UAdvancedDialogueSpeaker*	Input	Speaker identity as declared by the function signature (asset or tag).
Actor	AActor*	Input	Actor instance associated with the Speaker Asset.

Return: No return value (void). As a callable function it can be invoked from an appropriate Blueprint instance, using standard execution flow.

Usage context

Use exact Speaker Asset identities; physical Actor links are independent of display identity. For a larger workflow, see the feature guide.

Validation, prerequisites and limitations

The reflected declaration and tooltip are confirmed in the provided source. Exact pin layout, widget visibility, gameplay success and cooked-build behavior were not observed in a live Unreal Editor in this environment. Validate against your engine version and inspect failure outputs when present.
