One thing I see in your BP spaghetti is that you grab the Character from the GameInstance. If this is in the GameMode, as you say, this will always be the Server's value.

#

yes, i do grab from the game instance. as that's where I grab the characters from. But yes, my code is pretty spagetti haha

#

and alright, hmm

#

Any suggestions where to put this code? Sorry, I'm still learning as I go

#

or shall i remove that bit?

Well, you are a beginner and you are trying to solve a complex thing that is even more problemstic in BPs due to not having the same amount of functions available to you.

#

To fix that specific part I would need to explain for a while and I don't really have the time for that.

#

The main point is that you first need to send the Server the Data from the Client before it can decide on the Team

no problem, thanks though!

#

You can do that in the BeginPlay of your PlayerController, limited to IsLocalPlayerController, via an RPC.

#

You grab the Data from the GameInstance, then pass it into the RPC

#

On the RPCs side you can then call your "Figure out my team" stuff

#

If that's in the GameMode, then get the GameMode, cast it to yours, call the function, pass in "self" for the PC and maybe add a pin for the data of the GI that you send with the RPC

#

That should already improve the setup and maybe even resolve any issues you have

#

If you decide on the Class what team they go in, that this is def your problem

#

yep, thanks 🙂

#

I'm assuming the RPC goes into the Player Controller?

#

or starts there?

#

is what i have or am assuming you meant

never mind! i figured it out finally. only issue now, i'm unsure if it's only the engine edtior or not, but if i try to join twice as the same 1 man team after hosting it won't let me then join as another team, once it declines the 2nd player. but i am able to join as a different team just fine if i re-host it and dont join it as the same 1 man team and join as another team of differing size

reopening the game fixes the issue if ive packaged it. but if i have the game open and join the same team once it's full and it kicks me, then while still open try to rejoin it wont let me. BUT re-opening the game and joining a different team fixes this. not sure why it does this.
