Drag Select Isn't Functional on Clients

[plum1]

Hi there! So, problem - one my client the drag select doesn’t work - I can click + shift click for multiple unit selection, and the green selection square successfully renders on screen, but nothing will be selected. Serverside drag selection works fine. I’ve noticed when I run the client on the editor neither of the Player object’s unit lists populate when new units are made, but I’ve gone back to double check that the actions & methods for adding units to lists were correctly implemented (for both server and client) and they were, so I’m a little stumped!

tl/dr drag box selection won’t work on client, suspect issue with clientside MyUnits list

Hi there,

The first thing I suggest checking is the event subscriptions in the RTSPlayer, it is a common mistake to copy and paste these and forget to change the spawn to despawn or the -/+. Then it can mess with adding units to the list.

Unit.AuthorityOnUnitSpawned += AuthorityHandleUnitSpawned;
Unit.AuthorityOnUnitDespawned += AuthorityHandleUnitDespawned;

So! Turns out it was a very embarrassing mistake - I went to check the event subscriptions on RTSPlayer and realized I was removing units to myUnits on UnitSpawn, and adding them on despawn, so I just entered the methods backwards. Thanks for the help! Works just fine now.
