MovingPlatform behaves the same on client and server

[laserbeak]

Hi,

My code looks almost identical (seems like CoPilot is pulling code suggestions from the repo, to be honest). But I see the object moving on both client and server for some reason.

#include "MovingPlatform.h"

AMovingPlatform::AMovingPlatform() 
{
	PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;

	SetMobility(EComponentMobility::Movable);
}

void AMovingPlatform::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
	Super::Tick(DeltaTime);

	if (HasAuthority())
	{
		FVector Location = GetActorLocation();
		Location += FVector(Speed * DeltaTime, 0, 0);
		SetActorLocation(Location);
	}
}

void AMovingPlatform::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();

	if (HasAuthority())
	{
		SetReplicates(true);
		SetReplicateMovement(true);
	}
}

This code basically says “If I’m the server, replicate this object’s movement to all of the clients.” Then every tick, it’s saying “If I’m the server, calculate a location and set the actor to that location”. Because the movement is being replicated, it will be moving on the server and clients.

yes, I’ve realized that the code actually skips into the next lesson of the section
Thanks for the response.
