Summary

Hello,

There is an issue with these 3 methods in the “tracker_device” :

  • SetTitleText
  • SetDescriptionText
  • SetTarget

Context :

  • I have a player (A) who is already in the game (before we start the game with the “Start Game” button)
  • I have a player (B) who joined the game after it started
  • When the game starts, I set a custom title, description, and a target value on verse.

When I assign the tracker to all the players in the game :

  • A will have the tracker with the new title, description, and target value set on verse
  • B will have the tracker with the default title, description, and target value set in the editor.

If I try to set the title, description, and target again with the same value as for A, nothing will happen (Because I’m trying to set the same values as in the server so the modification won’t be applied to the clients). But if I set different values, the modifications will be applied (Because it will be different from the server).

To sum up the bug, if the values (Title, Description, and target value) of a tracker device and a player joins the game in progress, the new player won’t have the updated version.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Start the game with the player ‘A’
  • In a verse device with the function ‘OnBegin’, modify the title, description, and target value of the tracker device.
  • Join the game with the player ‘B’
  • When ‘B’ has joined, assign the tracker to all players

Expected Result

Both players must have the tracker assigned with the title, description, and target value corresponding to those set from the verse code.

Observed Result

  • ‘A’ will have the tracker with the new title, description, and target value set on verse
  • ‘B’ will have the tracker with the default title, description, and target value set in the editor.

The status of UCB-1008 incident has been moved from ‘Needs Triage’ to ‘Closed’.

Also experiencing this issue with updating tracker details via Verse for players who join in progress, they only get assigned the default configuration of the tracker.

OP has already provided a fantastic amount of info already, but thought I should reply as the Bug-Reporter response seems to indicate that the issue is closed/resolved - which isn’t the case, this problem is still occuring.
