Hey everyone, I’ve been trying forever to get sprint to work for multiplayer games. It seems like it has to do with replication but I’m really not sure. I have a function in my character class called IsSprinting() that gets called from a custom character movement component. It just returns the value of a bool that i have in the character class.  
Here’s my code

[http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CK46cqfb](http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CK46cqfb)

Basically when i run it in sp, and am sprinting it displays, “Server, sprinting”  
But when i run it in mp as a client and am hitting sprint, it says  
“Client, sprinting”  
“Server, not sprinting”

I really have no clue on how to fix this, and feel like I’ve tried everything.  
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

UPDATE(working code):

</div>

InputComponent-\>BindAction(“Sprint”, IE\_Pressed, this, &ADiceyCharacter::OnSprintPressed);  
InputComponent-\>BindAction(“Sprint”, IE\_Released, this, &ADiceyCharacter::OnSprintReleased);

```
void OnSprintPressed(){ Sprinting = true; }
void OnSprintReleased(){ Sprinting = false; }

```

And how do i set it on the server?
