Hey there,
I’m trying to use a simple set up that lets players connect into a lobby and starts the game when all players have told the server that they are ready. When the game is started, about 20 NPCs are spawned and are supposed to do their thing, which is starting to execute their behavior trees.
Everything works absolutely as expected in the editor (one or multiple clients, dedicated server box checked) but things go wrong when I’m trying to run the server and clients standalone (standalone meaning uncooked and launching UE4Editor.exe via the command-line).
The clients get placed into the lobby and the server starts the game when everyone is ready, but the NPCs don’t move. They are spawned and seem to have an effect on the server (the doors they are standing next to are server controlled and are open) but the AI doesn’t seem to run. The clients can see each other and client-related stuff (like doors) works.
What could possibly be wrong?
Clients are launched like this:
"PathToUE\UE4Editor.exe" "Path\Project.uproject" 127.0.0.1 -game
Server is launched like this:
"PathToUE\UE4Editor.exe" "Path\Project.uproject" Mapname -server -log
Is there anything I need to pay attention to regarding AI in multiplayer? Does anyone have any
idea why the issue only occurs when running the content standalone (=what does the editor do
differently)?
Thanks a lot
MrPhil
