Stopping "Set Actor Hidden In Game" from Replicating to client automatically

[Kilrogg]

“Set Actor Hidden In Game” seems to be automatically replicated back to the client if its executed on the server. I imagine this is part of the built-in actor replication in the engine, but I need actors to have separate hidden states on each client based on whether their units are in range/line of sight of the other player’s units, etc.

I can work around this by manually hiding the mesh and other components instead of hiding the entire actor, but I was wondering if there’s an easy way to stop Set Actor Hidden In Game from replicating since that would be easier and cleaner.

Here’s the quick test I set up to verify this. When I press F, the unit disappears from all players.

Thanks

Hey, im having the same issue, i don’t think it’s possible to stop it from replicating in blueprint. The way i do it, is i have a isVisible bool set to rep notify and inside the OnRep function i check for hasAuthority( i want remote) and isLocallyControlled (i want is not ) and set actor hidden in game to isVisible. You don’t have to manually check every mesh this way, hope it helps.

I ended up putting all the stuff I want to hide under the same parent component and just using Set Visibility (with Propagate to Children checked) instead and it works fine.
