So I’m trying to make it so that the client will pass a parameter when joining the server containing their display name. I’ve tried for 3 hours found nothing. Google was useless.
Also I would like to know if there is a unique ID so that I could initialize some stuff on InitNewPlayer and than continue it in PostLogin.
heres my code:
FString ATestFPSGameMode::InitNewPlayer(APlayerController * NewPlayerController, const FUniqueNetIdRepl & UniqueId, const FString & Options, const FString & Portal)
{
FString PlayerName = UGameplayStatics::ParseOption(Options, L"DisplayName");
if (!PlayerName.IsEmpty()) {
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, L"Login - Changing name to %s", *PlayerName);
ChangeName(NewPlayerController, “Test”,false);
}
return Super::InitNewPlayer(NewPlayerController, UniqueId, Options, Portal);
}
The problem is that the player name is not changed. Any way around this? My idea in the long run is that the player would specify a session ID but I don’t know how to get a unique ID from InitNewPlayer that I can also use in PostLogin.
