[SOLVED] Client not dealing damage to server

Yes, that should work. However if the “Base damage” value passed in to Apply Damage is 0, Any Damage will be skipped. Also double check that “Can be damaged” is set to true for your character.

Well it doesnt work unfortunately. As i showed in the picture “Base Damage” value is not 0 (I’ve even set the variable to replicated) and made sure with print strings the value is not 0 and its not. I am sure its something bad on my side but still cant figure out why.

Sounds like a similar problem I had last week. I ended up solving it by setting the Owner.

The Server replicated event only executes on the server if the client that calls the function is the Owner. In my case, the weapon owner was NULL (I spawned the weapon in my pawn’s Begin Play event) and thus the event never executed on the server.
To solve this I had to wrap the SetOwner() function in a blueprint callable function as the SetOwner() function is not exposed to blueprints… But even before that, I would expect SpawnActor to set the value of Owner to the same value as Instigator tbh. Or at least supply an optional Owner parameter.

Hi Omar007. As you said i tried setting SetOwner for client but then Run On Server events never fire from Clients. Can you show me whats your setup on your side?
