How to create an HUD in a multiplayer game?

[feuef]

@jwatte

Did you try it the way I suggested?

• Creating, remembering, and attaching the widget in the player controller (when spawning is fine)
• Finding the controller from inside the widget blueprint in its construct event

I made this in the past (before using the HUD), I tried again now and it doesn’t work, only for the server owner. And putting an owner is useless in an online mutliplayer right? It’s only for the local one no?

@jwatte

• Setting up the game mode (or the spawner) to instantiate your player controller, and no HUD class

What do you mean by instantiate? Sorry, my english is pretty bad

The way you’re doing it right now is only executing on the server. It’s not casting because it’s trying to reach the clients HUD that only exists on the client. You would need to run the rest with a replicated event set to Run on Owning Client in the player controller after Respawn Player.

I’ve always created the widgets off Begin Play in the HUD class. I don’t think it makes much difference doing it there or the player controller. I’ve found the UI can sometimes not be there in multiplayer if you don’t run it off a timer of some sort though. Which I don’t think is any different in either method. The player controller already has references to its HUD too.

Still doesn’t work, I just put a custom event replicated to client only (see the picture). When you talk about a timer, do you mean an delay like I did? Cause if it’s, it’s still not working
