Where is the right place to bind GetWorld()->GameStateSetEvent?

[Ivan3z]

I want to bind a function to this event. (GetWorld()->GameStateSetEvent)

I want to do it in the controller and I also want to do it in the widgets.
However I can’t find the correct event to bind it.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it fails.
So knowing the right place where it never fails would be great.

Thank you so much!!

This does not work because sometimes the widget is created after the GameState… so it never know it happened.

How can I ensure that GameState is available for clients?

I am trying to make a UI widget that allows the clients in a multiplayer game to see changes in AGameState (for learning purposes.) Below is a minimal example of my widget UMatchState, which inherits from UUserWidget. The widget is constructed in APlayerController::OnPossess, but it seems that the GameState is a nullptr at this point and so the delegate is never bound to. Where should I create the widget to ensure that the GameState exists on the client? void UMatchState::NativeConstruct() { S…

And in the player controller maybe this could be a good place but i’m not complely sure…

void AMyPlayerController::ReceivedPlayer()
{
	Super::ReceivedPlayer();

	UWorld* World = GetWorld();
	if (!IsValid(World))return;			
		
	World->GameStateSetEvent.AddUObject(this, 
    &AMyPlayerController::HandleGameStateSet);		

}

So… any ideas are wellcome!!

What you can do is register the event and then immediately call the function as well to handle the initial update.

World->GameStateSetEvent.AddUObject(this, &AMyPlayerController::HandleGameStateSet);
HandleGameStateSet(World->GetGameState());

Of course the handler needs to deal with the case that the gamestate is not yet valid

It’s a very good idea. I’ll do it like that.

What do you think about ReceivedPlayer()… Is it a good place to do it?
Or do you think there is a better place?

Thank you very much for your help!!
