UE4 Multiplayer Game TAG Tutorials PART 1: Countdown and Timers

[@FactZapTV]

man you went so fast, like take it easy.

[@skaalfort]

Thanks for making these tutorials.

[@lz4090]

Wow thank you, I just started basic replication and this is quite helpful, especially you are giving possible errors or mistakes to diagnose

[@graemepalmer2306]

UE4.26 - If you get to the section on Possession and you find it all goes whacky, check the scale of your Player Start - seems the one brought in for the Third Person Example in 4.26 has an X scale of "-0.25" instead of "1" So it is passing this on to the character it spawns, causing everything to break. Sort this and you should be back on track.

[@shadowdotpy]

OMG THANK U SO MUCH xD

[@graemepalmer2306]

@@shadowdotpy You are welcome, I'm glad it helped. :)

[@andyp123456]

I had this issue too and thought it was the start type (Network Player Start) being different and causing issues, but glad to know it was just a broken scale :D

[@mariohenrique9349]

So, for me it dind´t worked, I did exactly what you did until 4:26, I just didn't do the spawning player because I already have it. I created the variable players just like you, I did everything exactly the same and it just doesn't show up

Nice tutorials!!

3:40 I cant call ShowCountdown off the Array Index pin what am I missing?

[@jonathanst-arnaud8666]

UE4.27 The cast to GameMode fails in the Player Controller when I want to start the countdown by pressing Enter

[@clawrag9152]

Broooo thank u soooo much.

[@krmona21]

if not show widgeth. Check the event onpostlogin and the array players, check the specific playercontrol_tag(PC_TAG )

[@nl-camouflage8441]

When try this to add to ret player float arround and look out scall and flat what ar u dowing? i have 4.19.2

[@clebo99]

Just found you. Wow...great stuff. Where is the original video of you creating the lobby?

[@reddy6271]

I was wondering when the next one would come out!

[@spudgonna]

Not quite sure where things are going wrong, I've followed this to the letter, with the exception of the Player Controller, I'm using the ALS one just modifying it for this. Also using 4.27, however when my players spawn in they all spawn at the same location, additionally the countdown timer isn't showing on the client screens, it only shows on the player the presses enter. Also in the Player controller section when you construct the widget class, the "outer" node in your video has nothing attached, whereas it fails to compile if I don't in my version. ***UPDATE*** So I can confirm that firing the timer will show on all screens if it's activated from the Game Mode (GM_TAG) and not the Player Controller (PC_TAG), I just used Begin play, also need to ensure all people have loaded the map before it fires.

[@brendanbois1853]

ever figure out how to make sure all players have loaded first?

[@spudgonna]

@@brendanbois1853 this would depend on how you're managing your multiplayer game, you could potentially use the OnPostLogin function to help handle that.

[@dawidzwiastunsikora8043]

Great stuff! Thank you! Could you consider to show us more examples of basic game modes like Capture The Flag, Clan Arena, Domination, Duel, Free For All, Team Death Match?

[@amigo401]

hi i have problem after countdown reaches 0 my server client cant move but others can . how can i fix it ?

[@novaria]

The widget doesn't get created in my version. Anyone else having that? UE4.27

[@spudgonna]

I'm in 4.27 the widget is displaying fine

[@smartay]

Same here im using print string and it doesnt seem to return anything from the GameMode

[@DirtyPoopers]

[@nitingupta4747]

Hey, Good stuff, but there is one situation; what if we don't want to start timer with Enter key, instead I want to show when client joins the server. I tried but counter starts from the beginning and don't continue the server's count. any idea?

[@flatinumfox]

For now, I did an event tic - branch - if player controller array has length of total players then begin countdown

[@nielsbieri8606]

Hafe somone an Idea, why i dont find the set Current Time? That node befor the Timer by Event. I use the Ue4 version 4.26. Sorry for the bad English.

[@shadowdotpy]

So i got it... You made the "currentTime" Integer in the "GS_Tag" tab, right? So you have to Compile and Save in the "GS_Tag" tab and then it should started going. :=)

[@nielsbieri8606]

@@shadowdotpy Thank you veri mutch, taht was my Faut.

[@errantsemtex2522]

Hi, I really dont want to destroy session when timer hits 0, I just wnat to restart level so that on post login event is run again, is it possible with the advanced sessions thing because all the other ways ive tried have not worked. Any help would be appreciated.

@@alenloebue4785 thank you, i m waiting for it :)

[@shamspahlowan6851]

I am having a problem. Player is spawned in the map correctly but it is not together. Both players are in different tabs. And I also can't control them.

[@flatinumfox]

if in a child bp, right click begin play and 'call parent'.

[@DigitalLoom]

Is this how u would set up 1 and 2 player game modes like Mario kart? Can I follow these same steps!! Or would u be able to make a video on how to set up 1 and 2 players and the countdowns I’d pay you for your time!!

[@ИльяЛивинштейн]

What if my cast to GM_Tag in player controller always fail?

[@andyp123456]

I'm having the same issue, and it doesn't seem to be that the game mode is wrong, since the spawning functions are working fine. Maybe it's because all three players are clients, so the player controller can't access the game mode (which exists only on the server, I think - try hovering your cursor over the get GameMode node) and so is always None. If I put a call to StartCountdown in the BeginPlay event of GM_Tag, the timer works fine, but I can't get it to start by pressing a key in the player controller, but the key press is definitely triggering. The solution is to set the NetMode to "Play as a listen server" from the Play dropdown and then press enter on the server instance. I don't think this was mentioned in the video, but it's worth noting, since I was having trouble with the running games from the main menu level in the previous parts of the tutorial if I didn't run the game with NetMode set to "Play as clients".

@@andyp123456 this is a life save comment, thanks :)

[@kamilnalevanko2106]

I have same spawning system but always I get 2x spawned

[@rabbit-istudios5444]

You do not want to create this timer variable on the client (you are creating it on the widget which is wrong since the widget only exists on the client) as you can easily change the value of said timer int variable, i do the countdown on the server, if your internet is bad then the timer will lag but it is worth it as you don't want something of this core functionality to be exploited.
