Hi,
I have a strange problem with creating a custom movement type. I’m pretty new to C++ so hopefully this is something simple I’ve overlooked.
I’ve set up a child class of CharacterMovementComponent where I override PhysCustom to implement my own custom movements types. Should be simple right? Well…
In my override of PhysCustom below I’m just printing text to screen. On server this text is spammed every tick until the movement mode is changed, as expected. Yet on client it writes it only Ticks once and reverts to another movement mode.
Is this a replication problem? If anyone can offer any insight into why this is happening I would be very grateful.
If there’s any more information I can add please let me know.
Thanks,
TestCharacterMove.cpp derived from UCharacterMovementComponent.
#include "ReplicationTest.h"
#include "TestCharacterMove.h"
UTestCharacterMove::UTestCharacterMove(const class FPostConstructInitializeProperties& PCIP)
: Super(PCIP)
{
}
void UTestCharacterMove::SetPhysSwinging()
{
NewCustomMovementMode = TESTMOVE_Swinging;
SetMovementMode(MOVE_Custom, NewCustomMovementMode);
}
void UTestCharacterMove::SetPhysFalling()
{
SetMovementMode(MOVE_Walking);
}
void UTestCharacterMove::PhysCustom(float deltaTime, int32 Iterations)
{
Super::PhysCustom(deltaTime, Iterations);
//Print string every tick
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 1.5, FColor::White, "CustomMoveMode");
}
