I have a project that uses a template from the marketplace. This template does not have replication and I want to start working on replicating it.
But what caught my attention is that when I run the project in the editor and choose 2 clients to run in the PIE window, player one works fine, but player 2 remains static and does not even have idle animations, it does not move, it does nothing.
I understand that even though the project is not replicated, it should run normally in both windows, player 1’s window and player 2’s window, each in its own “location” or am I wrong?
I believe you can do it by making RPC with Multicast (cast to all clients)
edit : my mistake, i think he is actually talking about, any client except 1st client, not moving
You might be overriding the play controller connection on the server if you aren’t using a PlayerController blueprint to define it there and establishing controls that way. Here’s what we do in our game we’re starting.
If you have any sort of movement binding in your default player blueprint that you use (In my case, 2nd image it’s BP_FirstPersonCustom) delete that too. I hope this helps/works, I’ve only been doing this for about 2.5 weeks now and learning a ton, came across this exact problem not long ago when trying to get multiplayer working. I believe it’s because of some sort of server/client ownership under the hood with how controls are assigned in a networked environment.
If you lift out the issue away from the game state/instance (ie, away from the blueprints actively being used while playing, and not the one instantiated at start), it relieves this issue. I think… Again, I’m a noob in the scene but this is my understanding of how it works.
Multiplayer works right out of the box using the First or Third Person character classes. You only have to define your classes in the world settings of the Level for this to work. Project settings have no baring on this. Level World Settings Game Mode will override project settings.
