To have the sound play on all other players PC’s in the vicinity you need to make you sound effect function a NetMulticast

Example  
in the header the function definition would be

```auto
UFUNCTION(NetMulticast, Unreliable)
void MC_FireFX();

```

And in the cpp file you have the implementation

```auto
void YourClass::MC_FireFX_Implementation(){
  UGameplayStatics::PlaySoundAtLocation(this, FireSound, GetActorLocation())
}

```

Then in your fire function on the server after spawning your projectile call

```auto
if(Firesound != nullptr){
MC_FireFX(); 
}

```

p.s.  
I set it to unrealiable because it’s usually a non critical effect. If it’s a stealth game then maybe make it releiable

that didnt really work or maybe i did soemthing wrong  
void APlayerCharacter::OnFire\_Implementation()  
{  
if (IsShooting)  
{  
if(Projectile != NULL)  
{  
if(World != NULL)  
{  
if(Bullets != 0 && ReloadingGun == false && HealingPlayer == false && CanShoot == true)  
{  
SpawnRotation = GetControlRotation();

```
				SpawnLocation = ((MuzzleLocation != nullptr) ?
					MuzzleLocation->GetComponentLocation() :
					GetActorLocation()) + SpawnRotation.RotateVector((GunOffset));
				
				Bullets -= 1;
				IsShooting = true;
				FActorSpawnParameters ActorSpawnParams;
				ActorSpawnParams.SpawnCollisionHandlingOverride = ESpawnActorCollisionHandlingMethod::AdjustIfPossibleButDontSpawnIfColliding;
				World->SpawnActor<AProjectile>(Projectile, SpawnLocation, SpawnRotation, ActorSpawnParams);
				UGameplayStatics::PlaySoundAtLocation(this, FireSound, GetActorLocation());
        
				if(FireSound != nullptr){
					OnFire();
				}
        
				if(FireAnimation != NULL && AnimInstance != NULL)
				{
					UAnimInstance* AnimInstance1P = HandsMesh->GetAnimInstance();
					if(AnimInstance1P != NULL)
					{
						AnimInstance1P->Montage_Play(FireAnimation, 1.0f);
					}

					//UAnimInstance* AnimInstance3P = Mesh3P->GetAnimInstance();
					//if(AnimInstance3P != NULL)
					//{
					//AnimInstance3P->Montage_Play(FireAnimation3P, 1.0f);
					//}
				}
				if(CurrentWeapon->GetWeaponID() == 1)
				{
					World->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(FireTimerHandle, this, &APlayerCharacter::OnFire, CurrentWeapon->FireRate, false);
				}
				else
				{
					IsShooting = false;
					FireTimerHandle.Invalidate();
				}
				
				World->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(FireTimerHandle, this, &APlayerCharacter::OnFire, CurrentWeapon->FireRate, false);
			}
		}
	}
}

```

The netmulticast function is only supposed play the sound and maybe add muzzle flash. The rest of the logic should be on a normal server function.
