I have a simple script that creates a PlayerPortrait, and gives it a PlayerProfileInfo (by getting the appropriate IObjectPlayerProfileInfo from the map). This works fine in the editor, but if I start a game with this map, the portraits are randomized.
Things I've tried:

If I manually set the PlayerPortrait to use the profileinfo from the map, it works just fine. (However I need to be able to use scripts to change the playerprofileinfo)
If I set the Players skin to the profileinfo, it works--> It's not the PlayerProfileInfos getting randomized
If I check how many possible profiles the portrait has (.GetProfileInfos.Length), it returns 1 (which is correct), and if I don't add the profileinfo it is 0 (which is also what it should be)

Simple code to demonstrate:

Code: Select all

public void OnStartup() {
	IObjectPlayerPortrait portrait=(IObjectPlayerPortrait)Game.CreateObject("BgPlayerPortrait00");
	portrait.SetProfileInfo(Game.GetObject<IObjectPlayerProfileInfo>("profile"));
}

Create a blank world with an IObjectPlayerProfileInfo with a customid of "profile", and run this script to test.
Has anyone encountered anythin similar before? What could be causing it?

That sounds exactly like a bug. Plenty of things that work in the editor, but if you are hosting a real game scripts can fail. Just like if you spawn a player via PlayerSpawnTrigger and set his FacingDirection to (-1), in the editor it works, but hosted game it will always face toward (1). If i recall correctly.
Or setting Primary and secondary Target with CameraAreaTrigger via script.
These things can cause you serious headaches and waste your time.

Technically it should work just fine if you're hosting an "offline" game too. Many things don't work due to synchronization issues I guess; in fact when hosting a server your PC behaves as a server AND client

But yeah, bugs like that were annoying when I used to script.
