Replicate Steam avatars to server and other clients
|
I'm interested in getting connected clients' Steam avatars and displaying them to the server and other connected clients. I am using the Advanced Sessions plugin. I can't seem to get the unique net id for the players to replicate however I try. I'm storing player information in a structure and I've tried passing the unique net id into the structure, but by the time I try to pull the data and set a binded UMG variable, the net ID is invalid. The output from printing the string of the ID is "ERROR: Bad Net ID". I also tried to store the return value for the "Get Steam Friend Avatar" node, which is a Texture 2D, but it also becomes either null or invalid by the time it gets to UMG. I will gladly post more specifics on how I'm handling the whole process if needed, but if anyone knows in general if this is possible or how I might go about doing it, any tips would be much appreciated.

did u find a solution or fix to this?¿
Late reply here, but no, unfortunately I still have not. I've shelved this issue to work on more pressing things, hoping something comes up by the time I get back to it.
Anecdotally, I did figure out how to pull avatars from my friends' list, but that same method didn't work across non-friend accounts. There must be a way to do this, because Tekken 7 does it, but I'm not sure if it's possible using the Advanced Sessions BP plugin or not.
