LocalPlayerControllers iterator problem

[LagMasterSam]

When I try to use the LocalPlayerControllers iterator, it does not seem to be finding any local PlayerControllers.



simulated event PostBeginPlay()
{
local PlayerController PC;

Super.PostBeginPlay();

LogInternal("*** POST ***");

ForEach LocalPlayerControllers(class'PlayerController', PC)
{
LogInternal("*** LPC ***");
if ( UTHUD(PC.MyHUD) != None )
{
UTHUD(PC.MyHUD).AddPostRenderedActor(self);
LogInternal("*** ADDED ***");
}
}
}


*** POST *** appears in the log but *** LPC *** does not.

I thought I saw "AllControllers" somewhere. Maybe try that.

Where is this code? You may be calling it before the local player is intialized (for example, if that PostBeginPlay() is in a Mutator, the player won't be there)

This code is in an Actor that gets spawned by the CheckReplacement() function in a mutator. I guess that explains the problem. :)

What would recommend for solving this problem? I need to call UTHUD(PC.MyHUD).AddPostRenderedActor(self). Is there another function "after" PostBeginPlay() that would work?

Just check it in the first tick. Either add a flag for whether you've already checked it or put it in a special state for the first tick.

Hmm. Using a special state for the first tick sounds like a good idea since I need to use the tick() function anyways. Thanks a lot Mysterial.
