How to network character respawn?

[n00854180t]

So I have the following Blueprint, which works great single player. I haven't tested it in multiplayer, but I'm going through and fixing everything else in my project to work multi, and I know this part is not going to work properly.

I'm familiar with BP networking concepts, I'm just wondering which parts need to be split off for the client.

While that looks like it should work, event destroyed should be an event fired by the server, not on the player character. There's a decent write up on the wiki for respawn: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Bluepr...player_Respawn

That answers what I needed to know quite nicely (passing the controller along).

Thank you very much

No problem!

It wasn't until I came to multiplayer respawning that I got the jist of splitting character, from player controller - now it makes a ton of sense. Good luck!

I think I've implemented the respawn correctly but I believe I'm destroying my pawn incorrectly. I've run into an issues where the client's connection is occasionally dropped when destroying the pawn / detaching the player controller. I created an answer hub question here, in case anyone has insight: https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...no-object.html
