What would be the easiest/most efficient way to Broadcast a Multicast Delegate on the Server and have it reach a Client-side UI?
In my project, I perform calculations on the Server and send a Broadcast to other components and UI that are listening. Problem is, I want the UI, which exists on Client only, to listen to these broadcasts so that they can pop up a notification to the player.
I appreciate the advice!
There are a few ways to do it.
As a simple example: Supposing your calculation is done by the GameMode, it should call an event in a client’s shared object, like GameState.
GameState (or your object) can either broadcast to the player UI, or have a reference to the widget directly.
GameMode (Server Only)
GameState (Multicast)
Widget
As I said, it’s just a simple example, and there are more elaborated methods, but it depicts the main concept. Hope it helps.
Will do.
I tried adding UDELEGATE(NetMulticast, Unreliable) on the Delegate declaration, but that did not work. Makes you think what its for then.
Thank you for your help!
