So I’ve been learning how multiplayer works and I thought I had a decent understanding on how to setup everything and the importances of knowing when to use RPC’s vs RepNotify. I’ve been testing making my character hold items and all seemed fine when I used RPC’s but not when I used RepNotify, I nee…

Thanks for the response, I’m not sure how to execute that properly in my blueprints. Do you happen to know where to point me so I can go and have a look? Everything I happen to find is that they do all the code in the RepNotify and execute it on the server side.

You don’t set Rep_notify variables in the OnRep function. Server pickup Is currently holding, do some stuff → Set rep_notify variable On rep function: Branch (rep_not var): true → do this, False → do something else. Think of the on rep var as a switch/toggle. When the server changes the value of…

Close! Server will execute the OnRep function as soon as it sets the value. So no need to call it directly. Srv → Set var OnRep Func: Do whatever

I have a 4 part series on networked doors/elevators that specifically uses a rep_notify enumerator. Here’s part 2 which gets into the Rep_notify aspects. Should get you on solid ground. [UE5 - Multiplayer Interaction System Pt 2 - Doors]

I do it like this in C++ it is the only way it works //------------------------------------ UPROPERTY(ReplicatedUsing=OnUpdateTeamType) ETeam TheTeamType = ETeam::None; //------------------------------------ UFUNCTION(Server,Unreliable) void SetTeamType(ETeam TeamType); //------------------------…

where are you running this code? It should be in the Game Mode. TeamType should be a playerstate variable. Any skin changes should be handled in the OnRep in the playerstate. For something like spawn grouping by TeamType, you’d handle that in the GM.

Nope… it is a UActorComponent. i’m using it on my character.

RepNotify not working?
