How to get player controller id from player pawn.

I need to make a system for taking control of vehicle using posses node, but for this I need the ID of the player controller. How can I get it, or is there an easier way to make this system?

What do you mean by getting the ID of the player controller? It’s you who should determine it. You can store the desired value inside a variable and possess it like this:

Yeah, its online game, and when I keep the ID as 0 its for some reasons still possesing the server, even if client is doing it. Here is my blueprints:

I’m not quite experienced in online multiplayer but I found this post:

PlayerController is not replicated to other clients other then local machine (if im not mistaken) for security reasons as users can do anything with there PC memory. use PlayerState which is replicated extension of PlayerController and should contain all public information (not tied to pawn itself) on player that all other clients can access. Same goes with GameMode, there GameState for exact same reason

Perhaps this can help
