Come Learn Blueprint Multiplayer with me! (aka 's a Glutton for Punishment)

First problem!
I’m running my multiplayer game from PIE using the fancy Number of Clients setting and a dedicated server (Worst case scenario, ya know?) and immediately, I have a problem. My two players are starting at the same playerstart!
I don’t see any obvious functionality to determine what PlayerStart I should be assigning my players. Also, I’m not savvy enough with networking in UE to even know what class should be handling that sort of thing.

GameMode.cpp.
Start by making sure ShouldSpawnAtStartSpot() returns false, then create a custom ChoosePlayerStart().

The default behaviour is to place spawning players at the first PIE player start it can find or, failing that, just the last player start found.

You should be able to get what you need by checking out those functions in “ShooterGame\Private\Online\ShooterGameMode.cpp”.

Have fun!
