@K-Bob-a-lu-bob it seems to have a problem with the server control ref variable. But I got it working in the end.
You set the variable at startup but it has a problem that when it wants to send the reply it doesn’t seem to be ready for use. It sends the message: Accessed None trying to read property ServerControlRef. I then set the variable from the level blueprint and it seems to have solved the problem.
Unreal game log of variable not being set:

One last question. Now that it works it generates an insane amount of the same message:

Is this normal? Thanks for all your help and patience.
