How to make 2 teams in multiplayer system: friendly & enemy teams?

Development Discussion Blueprint Visual Scripting
#1

Hi,

  1. i have to set random team joining like 3v3 and players join without their choice so we don’t ask which team you like
  2. when player joins a team, his team name and score should be blue and enemy stuff, red. its related to HUD but what to do for recognizing teams? i have no idea
    its my first multiplayer project. the session is done but the teams aren’t.
    so it looks simple but i need to know structure of team making in ue4
    thanks a lot :wink:

Use a struct containing two team (arrays). Team 1 (blue), Team 2 (red). On player join assign to a team by storing player id in the chosen array. Reference the struct as needed. Another option is to create a team variable in playerstate assign a team name to it.

Don’t use a struct, use an enum, go on YouTube, and search “ue4 enum”, and you’ll get all the info you need. It’s a list of variables that you can switch based off of that players team. when that player is spawned set a variable that is replicated, and is set to your custom enum, and then do logic based off of that. ie: if enum == blue, then set player color to blue.and Also set a variable in player state, so the server can access it easier. I can send pictures if you need further help

it seems that i need more explanation. i learned how enum works but dont know how to work with it on event OnPostLogin.
when a player joins the game he is already spawned in map (character is selected before) so in joining time the team variable should be determined for the player.
send pictures please

I’m currently trying to use enum too for team selection, but is there a way to assign a random player controller to the enum?

What do you mean by assigning the player controller to the enum?
