Don't know if it's because of your soothing voice or just the easy to follow steps, but I really enjoy your tutorials in a different way compared to the others! Keep it up!

I think this is one of the first tutorials I've seen where the instructor doesn't ramble on for ages about something irrelevant, and also one of the first where you actually explain whats happening. Thanks for your work

I have no idea how to code or anything, but the way you explained it made me realize that I shouldn't really stress out too much about it. Thanks bro, helped a lot.

Thank you so much for making this underscore. It's been one of the best single resources for getting started. Pace, explanations, and quality of voice were all great here! Extra points for acknowledging which topics were a little harder to understand.

Fantastic video. Lots of information, organized in a logical way. I especially like how you explain in broad terms what you are trying to accomplish, then clearly relate the details to that overall objective. Thank you.

Wow I love your kit setup, makes so much sense now.

Love the videos, I tried making games in Unity a while ago but it was so much to learn at once! The coding was no problem, but understanding how games are laid out really wrangled my brain! I do have a lot of coding experience (C, Java, Python, C++), but Blueprints make it so easy to visualize (and trace!). You teach in such a way that gives us the tools needed rather than just showing us how to do a specific task, which I think is great and I really hope you continue to make videos.

This happened to be the exact type of example I needed for a similar issue. Thanks for the great tutorial .... again !

I've finally found something that is easy to understand! Thanks to you I've solved a problem that I had before

Thank you so much. I am diving in kinda deep on the multiplayer stuff and it is infuriating. This video answered a lot of questions I couldn't find elsewhere. Haven't tested what I've learned yet, but I already feel more comfortable just thinking about replication

Thank you very much! I finally solved my problem of adding force with the input axis. Cheers mate!

awesome tutorial man! one thing i would love to see is how to create an "in game" event. for example, if its a survival game, an event occurs that requires you to eliminate enemies and capture an objective. keep it up man!

Great tutorial! This helped introduce Unreal Engine for me. One thing that would be helpful is to show your keystrokes on the screen. There were a few spots where I needed to pause and go to the Blueprint Editor Cheat Sheet.

Thank you simple and so helpful

Hey bro, thanks for this! It was the only way I could make it work!

Absolutely brilliant.

finally i can add some basic multiplayer logic

Great vid!

This is a really straight forward, yet fantastic beginner tutorial on replication! Cannot overstate how fantastic this tutorial actually is. The fact that you explained the loop between Authority already being the server and not needing to go through the server step, but just jump to Multicast, but if it doesn't have auth, then needs to do the server pass and multicast is huge! So few tutorials explain this. I only wish you explained the difference between RepNotify and Multicast for everyone, but maybe that's in the next tutorial.

After you push that Magnifying glass to find something like the Mannequin material you can push the arrow next to it so you don't have to move windows to drag it in.... you likely knew that but for those watching who didn't there ya go... The arrow puts in whatever you have selected in the Content Browser and the Magnifying glass selects things in the browser so easy peasy... Good video by the way

Can you please do full tutorials series starting with this one where weapons, shooting, killing, health for each player and all that nice stuff multiplayer games have? Plus could be nice some death match spawning system or like battle royale like PUBG circles and jumping from planes does.

Love it, quick question. How would you add AFTER IMAGES or like a shadow effect to a paper 2d character as they move??

That's a quality video

Hi. How do I do if I want each player to have individual colors? So blue for player 1, red for player 2 and so on?

@widesilly2269

Well I'd start by setting a specific amount of players, determine which number is what color, and set those specific colors in the order the players join.

@TrojanLube69

current players in server - set color to each player from 1 to current(including server player if it’s hosted by a player). Then, if you want to not run out of color options set max amount of players allowed and use a logic to set server to full and prevent joining if server is full.

@TrojanLube69

3 жыл бұрын

My logic only works if players stay in match, alternatively you can give players IDs and store their info in server including color in case they rejoin and use custom logic for ID player that left and assign same color if player joins that ID inside server. You may want to have this logic inside your gamemode

Thanks for this! I am really struggling to find my footing with this stuff. My intuition always seems to be wrong. I was originally going about solving this problem by making the material instance the rep-notified variable, having the server set the color randomly, then have the rep-notify function set that material in the skeletal mesh. I think I had the core idea right by having the server set the color and rep-notify the clients but I was just going about it the wrong way.

AWESOME and THANK YOU

Hello amazing tutorial, but i was wondering if you could explain a bit more about the has authority macro. i understand that it checks if you're a client or server but why would we need to do that? can't i simply just always run the node on the server and have it replicate from there or multicast?

@underscore00

4 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for the great question! I didn't go into a lot of detail about the practical reasons for using a HasAuthority macro, so this is a good chance to explain further! (I'll also assume you saw Part 2 of this series here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqmtrsOHY6mwd9I.html ) The biggest practical reason for using this macro is because you want to keep network traffic to an absolute minimum. For example in shooting games you'll want your projectile logic to be executed on the server, but things like gun animation and remaining bullets only needs to be handled on the player. A good example is sound effects: The gun's gunshot sound will be different for the client and the server - on the server youll want to play the sound at the location of the gunshot, but for the client youll want a louder sound that isn't location-based. To build on this, if you have too much going on at the network level, UE4 will run into problems. There isn't any built-in handling for packetloss or high latency connections (at least not with blueprints) so if, say, UE4 fails to properly execute a network event, like it skips a node because of lag on the network or the client machine, the connection will just be closed, and the clients will crash. The only thing in the engine by default that *might* fix this is the 'Reliable' checkbox in your event details. Events with that box unchecked can be dropped by the network without the game crashing. I know this is a monster comment already (soz) so I'll sum up by saying that this is why networking is a headache in UE4 right now. I'm really hoping that in the future a lot more networking capability is added to blueprints, but until then we have to work around these things by keeping network events as small and fast as possible, setting 'Net Update Frequency' to low values, and only setting 'Reliable' on events that are absolutely crucial for gameplay. I hope that helps! :)

As I see it, getting introduced to multiplayer replication is like learning that there is a new dimension to be concerned.

Thats a good way to put it! When developing for single player you can basically do whatever you want to make it work and you barely have to think about shared objects like the game instance and game state, but in multiplayer theres a WHOOOOLE different set of rules.

finally a decent tutorial and it has only 500 likes... what a shame of internet

The multiplayer options have changed, unfortunately.

Is this about local multiplayer or online multiplayer? It says "server client logic" in the description so i guess it is about online multiplayer.

Is there any reason my third person character doesnt have an event begin play node? I also cant seem to add one, I'm a beginner at UE4 switching from Unity and the blueprints are all pretty new to me. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Great video, thank you! Just one thing I didn't totally follow: If the ThirdPersonCharacter pawns are being replicated across the session, and each player in the session has their own independent game instance running (including all three player pawns), then it seems like the trigger box's change color event should be able to work without any network replication since the network replicated player pawn steps into the trigger box in all three game instances, each one should be able to detect and process that trigger event locally, right? I tested this, so I know it doesn't work, but my question is: WHY? In my test I left change color as a non replicated event, and added some print strings. It showed that the event was only fired for the player that stepped into the trigger, even when in the other game instances I can clearly see that pawn standing in the trigger area, so they did overlap in those game instances as well - why didn't those instances fire the overlap event?

I think it is because at around 13:30, we set player index to 0. This means that only the pawn we control can trigger the collision.

@@CoreyFeatherly Player index has no relevance to replication, it's simply a away of detecting which player to focus on when split screen is enabled, The reason you can see the other player in the trigger box on the other clients is because the actor's movement is automatically replicated and switched on in the Third person character blueprint. If you turned the 'replicate movement' setting off in third person character Then you would not see them move on other clients windows. The reason the trigger box was only fired for the client who's pawn entered it, and not the others, is because simply put, you have not told the other Clients you have done this. The way it usually works, is each client, tells the server what they are doing, to do this you switch the custom event to 'run on server'. the server now knows what you've done, so now we need our server to tell everyone else what's happening, that's what 'Multicast' does. cedric-neukirchen.net/Downloads/Compendium/UE4_Network_Compendium_by_Cedric_eXi_Neukirchen.pdf This will help understand, it's not a huge read, and contains lots of vital UE4 Networking information.

So wouldn't it be easier to use the Action which comes with the replicated Color? I have to try it out, but thats for me the difference between Replicated and ReplicateNotify Variables.

I liked the video very well explained. have some tutorial how to package for android

can you tell me which game sever is the best 1 ?

well this works fine for client because third person character ownership is clear, what about a client moving an object that changes ownership ?

Hi! Using this method, and especially while playing within the editor, the server/client mode is called a 'listen' server, which is where the host player acts as both the server and a client. As opposed to a 'dedicated' server, where the server has no client.

Im in bed currently mapping out my game plan for tomorow, so is this online or local?

Try help mod figure out why coop controls (custom keybinds they’ve added work fine in singleplayer and/or for host client of a match, but not players 2-4) None of this making any sense until watched this video haha Thank you. If read this do you think issue working on is due to those keybinds/functions etc not being set up properly for multiplayer or am in wrong place entirely haha? Gotta learn editor before really help out still, but hoping least point that team in right direction cos they’ve only really worked on single player aspect of things so far.

with this tutorial is it possible for 2 people on different pcs to play together?

Yes! Youd need to either build some connection infrastructure in your game or simply use the console directly. As long as your OnlineSubsystem (in your defaultgame.ini) is set to Null, you can use the console command 'open' and an IP address to connect to another client directly - for example, "open 192.168.0.2" without the quotes and with your desired client's IP address.

SSGI is out for UE 4.24

I assume this way a simple swim system could be developed

Is this LAN only?

Damn, it doesn't work with topdown character... its not triggering the box.

Continue please

Damn... This is sadly out of date. At least half of it. The players will have different colors replicated like they are supposed to but the zone that changes the character color to red only changes it for the host character. The other characters turn black (and stay black) for some reason. Tried this out with 4.25.
