Replication and RemoteRole - enemies or friends...

[Shadow]

Told me please somebody, how to use replication and remote roles correctly.Or give links to resources that explain that.
Few my last mods were crashed in cause of wrong use of remote roles.
The problem is I don't know when actor must have remote role Simulated Proxy and when - ROLE_DumbProxy, or something like that.

[Chaos13]

RemoteRole is specified in DefaultProperties of class of the Actor, when on Server it is that property, when on client it is always ROLE_Authority, if the object is shared between client and server (if obj is client-side or server-side only, it will be ROLE_Authority or ROLE_None)

And when writing replication statments use ROLE comparsions instead of REMOTEROLE ones.

You're basically asking for someone to explain to you a topic that requires an entire BOOK. I'd recommend you start off the unreal wiki for the basic concepts, try a few simple mods/tuts and ask specific questions later.

Tnx guys.
But again just one (maybe stupid :p) question...
Am I wright if I think that things like effects mainly must have ROLE_SimulatedProxy or ROLE_None, and projectiles - ROLE_SimulatedProxy?
Besides, I think that effects often takes ROLE_None if they being spawned by other effects.

[Chaos13]

RemoteRole is ROLE_None if effect is being spawned client-side. Role may NEVER be ROLE_None otherwise it wont be controlative (like wont tick, get destroyed, but WILL eat memory). Projectiles have Dumb Proxy (Inherited from Actor), although they are replicated only once when spawned (bNetTemporary=True).

Yep, simple truth. Networking in UE is one of the most cryptic topics (and most interesting in my opinion)
