Hi all,

I'm trying to script our mod such that we display an icon (a SpriteComponent, to be seen by all players) over the head of the player when they activate a trigger. Below is the code I've hooked into Kismet.

The commented out code (two lines) is Attempt #1. The other code is Attempt #2. In Attempt #1, the pawn is always the server's pawn, even if the client avatar activates the trigger. In Attempt #2, the pawn is always the client's pawn. Log messages on both client and server confirm this.

What I need is the pawn of the person who is doing the activation. I'm very confused. Any idea why this isn't working, or what I should be doing?

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks!

P.ShowIcon(0);
}
}
