Call func problem SIM->REL SRV / SIM-> REL CLT-> REL SRV from Pawn

[SeBeQ]

Hi!

I have problem with calling server function from simulated PostBeginPlay

// in MyPawn
var int UTCOffset;

simulated event PostBeginPlay()
{
	super.PostBeginPlay();

	if( Role < ROLE_Authority ) //
	{
		ClientSetUTCOffset(-1); //-1 is for testing
		// Or ServerSetUTCOffset(-1);
	}
}

//This work
reliable client function ClientSetUTCOffset(int Offset)
{
  `log("MARK ME");
  ServerSetUTCOffset(Offset);
}

//but this doesn't work anyway
reliable server function ServerSetUTCOffset(int Offset)
{
  `log("MARK ME");
  UTCOffset = Offset;
}

On client everything is ok, but not call server functions
I need it to send information from client to server (system time specs)

	if( Role < ROLE_Authority ) // If this is True...
	{
		// ...then we are on Client side and you should call...
		ServerSetUTCOffset(-1);
	}

It's probably because replication hasn't started yet. There used to be a function called PostNetBeginPlay() which was perfect for initial client-to-server replication, but I think it's gone. Did they add some function to replace that function, anyone?

Anyway, you can replicate from client to server once replication has started. You can try it with this:

simulated event PostBeginPlay()
{
	super.PostBeginPlay();

	if( Role < ROLE_Authority ) 
	{
		SetTimer(1.0,true,'ReplicateClientToServer');
	}
}

simulated function ReplicateClientToServer()
{
	ServerSetUTCOffset(-1);
}

reliable server function ServerSetUTCOffset(int Offset)
{
  `log("MARK ME");
  UTCOffset = Offset;
}

settimer works! Thanks!
