I have an actor component that is called `Inventory.h` that has a variable `TArray inventory;` that is not getting replicated. Here’s my `GetLifetimeReplicatedProps` at `Inventory.cpp` ``` void UInventory::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(TArray< FLifetimeProperty > & OutLifetimeProps) const { Super::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(OutLifetimeProps); // Replicate to everyone DOREPLIFETIME(UInventory, inventory); DOREPLIFETIME(UInventory, equippedItems); DOREPLIFETIME(UInventory, weaponsInInv); DOREPLIFETIME(UInventory, equippedItemSelected); } ``` When I change the variable inventory ON THE SERVER the client doesn’t get the modifications. I don’t know if I did something wrong or if I need to create a RPC call from the server to the owning client to send the variable value. Thanks in advance! ---

I am going to guess that since your object UInventory starts with a U that you are inheriting from a UObject. If so, there is your problem. According to the UE4 docs, Actors replicate, but UObjects do not: > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline.

If you are using an Actor and not a UObject and it still does not work, make sure you are also properly marking the individual properties that you want to replicate with: UPROPERTY(Replicated) And of course make sure that you set bReplicates = true; in your constructor. ---

I missed the part where you said your UObject was an actor component. Did you add this to your actor component? ``` virtual bool IsSupportedForNetworking() const override { return true; } ``` See this section for more code you have to add to get subobjects to replicate: > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline.

Thank you so much. I THINK my problem is solved… The only problem now is that I get these errors when compiling: ``` CompilerResultsLog:Error: Error C:\Users\GAME\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\ShooterGameCharacter.cpp(84) : error C2275: 'AShooterGameCharacter': illegal use of this type as an expression CompilerResultsLog:Error: Error C:\Users\GAME\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\ShooterGameCharacter.cpp(84) : error C3861: 'DOREPLIFETIME': identifier not found ``` The errors are in my character class (which has the UInventory component) and refers to ``` void AShooterGameCharacter::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(TArray< FLifetimeProperty > & OutLifetimeProps) const { Super::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(OutLifetimeProps); //I guess I can't use AShooterGameCharacter as a type here... DOREPLIFETIME(AShooterGameCharacter, inventoryActor); } ``` ---

Whoops sorry, solved it haha. I used #include “Networking.h” instead of #include “UnrealNetwork.h” ---

Yep, I was just about to say that exact thing. That error gets me all the time 🙂 ---

Did this solve the problem?
