Getting all playercontrollers from server as a client

[anonymous_user_7ed0e80a]

I am having some issues wrapping my head around replication.

I have a lobby level that has a 3d Widget in there that i would like to display some information for each pc connected to the server.

I want all this info to come from the server.

So I created a GameMode and GameState

Using the following code for the game state.

UCLASS()
class ALLSPARK_API AAllSparkGameState : public AGameState
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

public:
	UFUNCTION(Reliable, Server, WithValidation, BlueprintCallable, Category = "GameState")
	void UpdateConnectedPCs();
	void UpdateConnectedPCs_Implementation();
	bool UpdateConnectedPCs_Validate();

	UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure, Category = "GameState")
	TArray<APlayerController*> GetConnectedPCs() const;

private:
	TArray<APlayerController*> ConnectedPCs;
};



TArray<APlayerController*> AAllSparkGameState::GetConnectedPCs() const {
	return ConnectedPCs;
}

void AAllSparkGameState::UpdateConnectedPCs_Implementation() {

	if (Role == ROLE_Authority)
	{
		for (auto allPCs = GetWorld()->GetPlayerControllerIterator(); allPCs; ++allPCs)
		{
			bool found = false;
			auto CurrentPC = Cast<APlayerController>((*allPCs));
			if (CurrentPC)
			{
				for (auto inArray(ConnectedPCs.CreateIterator()); inArray; inArray++)
				{
					auto inArrayPC = Cast<APlayerController>((*inArray));

					if (inArrayPC == CurrentPC) {
						found = true;
					}
				}

				if (found == false) {
					ConnectedPCs.Add(CurrentPC);
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

bool AAllSparkGameState::UpdateConnectedPCs_Validate() {
	return true;
}

This all works fine for the server but the clients are getting nothing in the array.

Can anyone see what i’m doing wrong its probably real obvious :S

I have solved this issue by accessing the player states form the game state.

As i understand what was happening my code was finding them all correctly but they didnt exist on the clients because of the replication settings.

Hope this helps someone.
