In server side it will always work, however, in client side it will always returns null, no matter how many loops with delays i iterate on it. how am i supposed to get pawn owner of this blueprint like that ? i’v tried to take this value and send it with events like “run on server” and then use “multicast” and still it was always null for client.
Is it a bug? how do i fix that ? I’m using UE4.5.
Also, when i print stuff while playing with 2 players, prints looks like :
server : hello
client : hello
But when i click on “~” key, this is all gone, and these prints are sometimes useless if they go away too fast.
Is there a way to make them stay ?
Ok now i can say for sure that AI Controller is not being replicated to client.
Tick evets won’t occur in client side. Is there any special thing that has to be done in order to replicate AI Controller to client ?
I have replicate checkbox checked and also tried to apply it at runtime via server side. Any idea ?..
Edit : Ok i’v solved damned issue !
I had to check “Always Relevant” Checkbox in my enemy Controller blueprint :
I’m glad you were able to work around issue you were facing. I wanted to let you know, however, that generally controller is not intended to be replicated. controller is where you want to store your movement rules and inputs, while data and anything client specific should be done in either player state or player character. While this solution of manually replicating controller might help you now, it could also cause problems with multiple replication later on. My suggestion would be to try moving all of this functionality that is client specific to character instead.
If you already have, go through them again. Watch them over and over until you really understand network replication. This is a difficult topic, and one of more challenging programming concepts to understand in game development in general. There are engineers who do this as their living, so don’t feel bad if it’s difficult. There is also network example scene that comes with UE4 content examples project- look over that!
Can you better explain what you are trying to do? Don’t get into specifics, just in layman’s terms, what do you want to have happen right now?
Thanks i will keep this in mind.
Jak Carver I just want behavior i implemented to enemies to work fo client too, i’v started building this game with no thinking on multiplayer and probably made some mistakes with where implementing what ( Like pointed ). But still, i don’t really like to change stuff that are already working, if it will cause problems later i guess i will have to change it anyways.
In this case i just want to see animations of enemies in both client and server.
So this time i’v already solved issue.
( I’v actually seen these videos of network replications, all but two of “Adding Networked Features to 3rd Person Template”. I just didn’t feel like they matter that much, i guess i will just watch them anyways just in case.
