Hi,
I’m having some issues with replication, in regards to pick up and drop weapon for primary and secondary
-> if I pickup a rifle, it will drop a rifle / Or handgun for a handgun
For the first step, it works perfectly fine for server and client
In character class, I have this…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BaseCharacter.h
virtual void Use();
UFUNCTION(Server, Reliable, WithValidation)
void ServerUse();
void ServerUse_Implementation();
bool ServerUse_Validate();
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BaseCharacter.cpp
void ABasePlayer::Use()
{
ABaseUsableActor* Usable = GetUsableInView();
if (Usable)
{
// Only allow on server. If called on client push this request to the server
if (GetLocalRole() < ROLE_Authority)
{
ServerUse();
}
else
{
Usable->OnUsed(this);
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 2.0f, FColor::Red, “CheckServer”);
}
}
}
void ABasePlayer::ServerUse_Implementation()
{
ABaseUsableActor* UseActor = GetUsableInView();
if (UseActor)
{
UseActor->OnUsed(this);
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 2.0f, FColor::Blue, “CheckClient”);
}
}
bool ABasePlayer::ServerUse_Validate()
{
return true;
}
it works fine up till here, but I would like to know if this is wrong way to do it
For the second step I am trying to replicate the used function inc pickupActor class
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BaseWeaponPickup.h
virtual void OnUsed(APawn* InstigatorPawn) override;
UFUNCTION(Server, Reliable, WithValidation)
void ServerOnUsed(APawn* InstigatorPawn);
void ServerOnUsedImplementation(APawn* InstigatorPawn);
bool ServerOnUsedValidate(APawn* InstigatorPawn);
UFUNCTION(Reliable, NetMulticast)
void OnUsedMulticast(APawn* InstigatorPawn);
void OnUsedMulticast_Implementation(APawn* InstigatorPawn);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BaseWeaponPickup.cpp
void ABaseWeaponPickup::OnUsed(APawn* InstigatorPawn)
{
ABasePlayer* MyPawn = Cast<ABasePlayer>(InstigatorPawn);
// Only allow on server. If called on client push this request to the server
if (MyPawn->GetLocalRole() < ROLE_Authority)
{
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 2.0f, FColor::Blue, “UsedFromClient”);
ServerOnUsed(InstigatorPawn);
return;
}
else
{
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 2.0f, FColor::Red, “UsedFromServer”);
OnUsedMulticast(InstigatorPawn);
}
}
void ABaseWeaponPickup::ServerOnUsedImplementation(APawn* InstigatorPawn)
{
OnUsed(InstigatorPawn);
}
bool ABaseWeaponPickup::ServerOnUsedValidate(APawn* InstigatorPawn)
{
return true;
}
void ABaseWeaponPickup::OnUsedMulticast_Implementation(APawn* InstigatorPawn)
{
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 2.0f, FColor::Green, “Used_Multicast”);
ABasePlayer* MyPawn = Cast<ABasePlayer>(InstigatorPawn);
if (MyPawn)
{
if (GetLocalRole() < ROLE_Authority)
{
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 2.0f, FColor::Blue, “IsClient”);
}
else
{
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 2.0f, FColor::Red, “IsServer”);
}
}
}
I get compile error for the functions used as shown below…

I’m not that experience with replication, please let me know if you understand where I’m going wrong…
