Mouse doesn’t work in Multiplayer

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I want the following behavior:

  • If i don’t click any mouse button i want to see the mouse cursor and can’t move the camera
  • if i click the right mouse button i
    want to rotate the camera like the
    default third person template does.

To achieve this behavior i extended the c++ third person template with following functions:

void AHerobattleCharacter::LockCamera()
{
	if (MyController)
	{
		MyController->SetIgnoreLookInput(false);
		GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 5.f, FColor::Red, TEXT("LockCamera"));
		MyController->bEnableClickEvents = false;
		MyController->bEnableMouseOverEvents = false;
		bCameraIsLocked = true;
	}
}

// called when the right mouse get released
void AHerobattleCharacter::ReleaseCamera()
{
	if (MyController)
	{
		MyController->SetIgnoreLookInput(true);
		GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 5.f, FColor::Red, TEXT("ReleaseCamera"));
		MyController->bEnableClickEvents = true;
		MyController->bEnableMouseOverEvents = true;
		bCameraIsLocked = false;
	}
}

I added the following lines to the SetupPlayerInputComponent Function:

InputComponent->BindAction("RightMouse", IE_Pressed, this, &AHerobattleCharacter::LockCamera);
InputComponent->BindAction("RightMouse", IE_Released, this, &AHerobattleCharacter::ReleaseCamera);

I also added the BeginPlay function:

void AHerobattleCharacter::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();
	if (Controller)
	{
		initializeMouse();
	}
}

void AHerobattleCharacter::initializeMouse()
{
	MyController =  GetWorld()->GetFirstPlayerController();
	//Input Mode for hiding courser
	FInputModeGameAndUI InputMode;
	InputMode.SetHideCursorDuringCapture(true);
	InputMode.SetLockMouseToViewport(true);
	MyController->SetInputMode(InputMode);
	MyController->SetIgnoreLookInput(true);
	MyController->bShowMouseCursor = true;
	MyController->bEnableClickEvents = true;
	MyController->bEnableMouseOverEvents = true;

	GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 5.f, FColor::Red, TEXT("MouseInit"));
}

When I run the game as a single player game, the mouse works as intended. But when I run the game with multiple players, the mouse cursor is hidden and I can rotate the camera as if I would have pressed the right mouse button. If I bind the initializeMouse function to a key and press this key ingame the mouse cursor appears and works like intended.

According to this
https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/183488/player-controller-get-controlled-pawn-client-delay.html the player doesn’t have a PlayerController from start and its better to make changes when the PostLogin event is called. So I removed the initializeMouse function from my BeginPlay function and added the following code to my gamemode:

void AHerobattleGameMode::PostLogin(APlayerController * NewPlayer)
{
	Super::PostLogin(NewPlayer);

	AHerobattleCharacter* currentPlayer = (AHerobattleCharacter*)(NewPlayer)->GetControlledPawn();
	if (currentPlayer)
	{
		currentPlayer->initializeMouse();
	}
}

But that didn’t resolve my issue.
Anyone has an idea, why my code doesn’t work?
