Spawning in NPCs

[Rev0verDrive]

Here’s a few examples from my own project.

Currently I have a place holder for character cosmetics. When the server spawns the character via the GM, it immediately sets a Character Cosmetics variable.

The OnRep_Character Cosmetics function in the character class does all the work.

In my weapons class I do roughly the same thing. I use a Name type variable to get a row from a data table to configure various aspects of the weapon class.

How do you manage NPCs. Do you create a different blueprint for each one and adjust their locations when the level starts?
Do you spawn your NPCs are place them in the level as either completely different blueprints or as children of a parent?
How do you adjust information in the child class or is that not possible?

Parent class with all the code/functionality that ALL NPC’s will utilize.
Child class with added specialization.

Parent class will have “Config” variables that will be used to Define the type/use of the NPC. You then use those to configure on spawn.
