UBlueprintFunctionLibrary UServerPlayers

Description

This class will store basic player information and it will find player info by id or player controller. To get the player controller of a client on the server you need to do a lot of things, therefore its easier for us to distribute id to client side and when client needs RPC commands we can just use the id.

What does it do?

Stores player information.

How to use?

Register a player using AddNewPlayer, now you can use search and update.

Future Features

  • Saving the id automatically to client when new player is registered.
  • Function to get the id on client.

Random Info

  • In the Demo Project there are several times in beginplay a looping id check, it takes a small delay before that id is received. If you have something in beginplay where you need that id just make sure to check that its not empty.
  • The id is a 32 characters long string.
