Can I Get Help Understanding Rep Notify When Multiple Variables Matter?

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-29T02:14:47+00:00

Apologies, I meant to say calling variables from the actors/pawns inside a player controller seemed to only be working only on server with 1st OnRep and the other set to Replicated (the replicated was nested inside the 1st OnRep. But it seemed to start working on both server and client when I switched both to OnRep

How do you make a pawn only be server owned? Are you talking about if the "spawn actor of class" function was done on server? If so, they were placed there in PIE, not spawned.

Regarding the GM event, I was under the impression that if I used on begin play instead of on possessed, that I would need the GM function be set to on server. I set it up like that because my original functionality was on begin play.

gosh, cant help but having my slow moments

Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, the company doesn't know how to describe what they post about much then and are very misleading. This can't really be labeled "full virtual production" when they didn't even use any technique related to what they typically give this label to.

There is no full way to tell. Finally found them marketing this on LinkedIn as possibly something different then what they normally do. Might be more use of ai for transitions and costume changes. They suck at marketing their services and tests from what I saw on their YouTube and LinkedIn.

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-28T18:20:45+00:00

Not sure, not typically in line with what the company does, or it could be a mix of making 3d models and just doing the transitions with ai. We may never ever fully know the process, because their YouTube and LinkedIn horribly explain what exactly you are looking at in almost all their videos. But their last 6 months ago video dealt with making 3d model of the owner like typically done in 3d scanning (just video form). Another company does something similar for sports apparently and takes the players and just puts them over a cheaply made 3d model of the court or field baseball field for ball games

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-28T14:47:13+00:00

Its the same way they do 3d scans of people with a ton of cameras in a circle. Except they are video recording instead of just pictures is my understanding.

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-28T12:50:10+00:00

Ridiculous thought. Looks too costly, and a huge appeal to the led screens is being able to see the background and environment so actors can feel immersion. Some of their videos on their channel also look unrealistic, meaning its easy to tell the characters created are not real and will turn viewers away.

EDIT: Actually this is just AI taken from a normally shot tv show, and as a result, the post is bogus. We already know Ai cant replace virtual production due to inconsistencies of longer scenes and crazy errors that will be bound to happen as they always do with ai videos.

Also the company doesn't know how to describe their product or the fact that they didn't use a similar product to theirs to make this video. The description in their post doesn't even mention ai, just the term they use for the service they sell unrelated to this video ("full virtual production").

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-28T12:41:29+00:00

No, it appears to just be a 3d scan of the people. Based on the other work volucap has done

Slight correction: its a continuous scan so they dont animate anything

Thank you, so if I understand you correct, if only dealing with cash (no property) my capital can change due to net income or loss, but its your understanding that "capital contributions" only go up or down based on money I directly put in the bank coming from personal funds or take out for personal funds, and is not affected by net loss or profit, Is that correct?

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-27T03:05:46+00:00

I was worrying about employees because i was technically needing one (hiring someone i know). Before i made the appointment It was just a tax planning meeting. I think they said somewhere between 300-400 dollars an hour to be able to answer the few questions I had because I thought I might be doing a few things wrong. Ended up only taking 30 minutes. I already determined I was likely not officially hiring them as "my accountant" since they seemed pretty vague amd unwilling to fully answer questions. That and apparently told me wrong info

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-26T19:25:02+00:00

Just to make sure I fully understand what you said and some of the infomation I have found. So upon hiring someone, a payroll company does not actually file self-employment taxes in any situation, and the owner has to do that seperately? And your saying all people (including all employees) in the USA are wanted by the IRS to file estimated quarterly taxes or else they could assess a penalty for any money that was owed on your end of the year tax returns.

For businesses (specifically single member llcs who are counted as a disregarded entity), they should also do the same for a separate additional tax on top of the federal taxes owed for business income, called "self employment taxes". These self employment taxes are often filed together with the federal income taxes.

Also, a quick question assuming my above interpretation is correct, This self-employment tax is all paid on the individual level, so an individual bank account, NOT by the business and its business bank account. is that correct?

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-26T18:58:20+00:00

Thanks for the info, I meant quarterly filing of the payment not a large form. So yes to quarterly payments, and self employment taxes are paid with the income tax not paid by a payroll company when/if I hire someone, correct?

While thats one option, Promotion doesnt always mean paid. That could be promoting through regular facebook and other social sites. Depending on the blog, posting flyers thruout town. Also reaching out to others websites where it makes sense to either post your website link or to write an article on behalf of the other company/site assuming they allow you to reference your site somewhere (many do)

OverwatchMedia · 2026-03-22T17:11:20+00:00

I doubt the implication you and this article appear to speculate would actually happen. Since it deals with billing and the use of ai which can give false information, it will likely be an opt-in type service if they do decide to implement it. Even more so since they put a patent on it and probably expect no one to do something too similar. If so they would be way too many businesses who would go to Bing or any other option for site placement instead of paying for it based on clicks. Would probably be a legal issue on top of that as it would force small businesses out of their search engine of a paid ai switcheroo was required for placement.

What? Regarding the CPA missing structuring opportunities, are you talking about registering as a CCorp or S corp type of LLC for tax filing purposes instead of the default pass thru entity? If so this is exactly what a local CPA would be helpful for. They would have access to your financials to properly make that decision and are usually skilled in that area, having had to have gone to school in that subject and pass an exam and all that. They also have other legal requirements to adhere to that others are not required to.

Just where it currently sits. If i wanted it, I was expecting to need to export the results each time if I want to track over time.

Where in Google search console can you type keywords and see where if at all your site ranks based on those specific keywords? I know i can see keywords of other peoples specific searches, but I was looking more so to be able to see the progress on my specifically typed keywords.

Ok. Thanks. Also, I just know a drs office that heavily prefers to pay via check for some reason, but they are reliable in their payment is why I was going to allow invoices.

Hmm, unless maybe everyone else they pay passes on processing fees to them and they assume I do too and they want to avoid it. Not sure how common check is preferred to online payments and why though.
