Generic Shooter: Support Thread

First off, thank you for your blueprint offering, it is helping me out a ton for a project I have been trying to get started that allows for 4 teams in multiplayer. My question if anyone has looked into it is can I limit certain character skins to a specific team?

For example in regular deathmatch the user can play as any skin.

In Team deathmatch only Team 1 can use Skin A, B and C | Team 2 can use Skin D, E and F | Team 3 can use Skin G, H and I | Team 4 can use Skin J, K and L

Would I add to the team deathmatch blueprint? Sorry if this is a basic question as to where I should start the blueprint coding but the blueprints still confuse me a bit and I am trying to get an idea as to where I should start looking to modify the work flow. So far I have tried to make educated guesses as to what and where to modify and it has not gone well.

Thanks

The current system isn’t really set up that way, but one thing you could do is define a character for each team in BP_GameInstance and then in BP_PlayerCharacter in what I believe is UpdatePawnVisuals you can use the team num as a character index instead of the player’s chosen character index. I’ll consider adding better support for this in the future.

I don’t know if anyone else has come across this but when testing my game multiplayer if player 1 shoots a rifle weapon with an auto / looped sound it ends properly on player 1’s session when i release the trigger but player two it continues to loop. I validated the blueprint and I had looped fire sound selected and it ends properly on Player 1 but Player two can hear the sound forever whenever he goes where the rifle was first shot by player 1.

So its the ambient sound is not going away for player 2 when Player 1 fires. What is odd is when player 2 fires his local looped sound ends properly and the ambient sound ends properly for Player 1.

When I set a looping MuzzleFlash particle effect to my weapon, set “bLoopedMuzzleFlash” to true, my clients keep playing the muzzle effects when I stop firing, only in Server works like it should.

Maybe this has already been discussed here, but I can’t see where it could be changed in the Base_Weapon “SimulateFire” function to work.

Both these have been fixed in an update I just submitted. Thanks for bringing this up.

Hello guys, could andyone explain me how do settings work? Like when I choose and option in video settings what happens next? Thanks. I am asking this because I wanna make resolution settings so I am trying to understand how these settings work.

In the update I just submitted I have added resolution options. Different settings are applied in different ways, mostly through the use of console commands. This logic will be updated when 4.11 is released as 4.11 adds some more explicit settings nodes in BP.
