I want to through the game main menu to let the player select running as dedicated server or client， I found when initialize the gameinstance, the run mode is set ,
bool UGameInstance::InitializePIE(bool bAnyBlueprintErrors, int32 PIEInstance, bool bRunAsDedicated)
if the first main menu level is running, can I change it from client mode to dedicated mode?
Ehm, I don’t think that’s what you want to do.
For a Dedicated Server, you must compile a separated version of the game.
Also a Player can’t be a Dedicated Server. The idea of that kind of Server is to NOT have a Player.
If you want a Player to be the Server, you need a Listen Host.
