Hey man, I know this is a "nooooooob" question as I'm trying to familiarize with Unreal... but can you point to (or make) any documents/tutorials/etc that would be a great next step in expanding multiplayer with lobbies... to more of an open world MMO style of handling things? I'm specifically looking for larger amounts of players and level instancing (think dungeons). I know MMO's are a massive undertaking so trolls plz just move on. I'm not looking to make the next WoW Killer... I simply want to learn how its done in Unreal.
For JumpPowerUP section, make sure you don't use ToggleVisibility but Set Actor Hidden in Game as DevAddict has modified in previous video. Otherwise you will run into issues.
I discovered your channel 3 days ago and I subscribed right away because I really like the way you teach things. And then you uploaded this video... just amazing! I learnt so much today! Please keep doing this server/client tutorials... and next time maybe with interfaces instead of "castings"? It would be wonderful! Thanks for the great tutorials!
Been watching tutorials on multiplayer functionality for months now, but after 30 mintues of watching this video, I learned more than all the other tutorials combined. That goes to show the quality and DevAddict's ability to explain / simplify complicated blueprint work. Keep doing what you do man! I love how learning oriented every video is
@@UnrealEngineTutorials It's 100% deserved! I'm usually not the guy to even take the time to comment on anything unless I have a good solution for a question. But I just completely fell in love with your approach for doing tutorials, and you seem to have much more knowledge than most other UE4 "teachers", at least for multiplayer functions
If anyone has any issues with not having a character between Starting New Player and On Post Login, make sure you delete Starting New Player off your BP grid. I tried both and neither worked (4.26.3). I didn't get a character. It was only after I messed with it and deleted both, and re-added On Post Login that I found this. 14:30 Setting actor to Replicates didn't work, so I went back and setup Set Actor Hidden In Game and removed the Set Visible in BP_jumpboost.
If your Client is having fits trying to jump on the moving platforms, be sure to set your Level Sequence Actors to Replicate Playback so it syncs up with the Server. Found this after a few minutes of head-scratching as my Client dude fell to his death repeatedly. Thanks for the tutorial @DevAddict. Much appreciated!
At 1:21:30 you could've just gotten the Instigator Controller from the Begin Overlap event, as the overlap event will fire before the "OpenDoor" event (since OpenDoor won't fire if you are not overlapping) Aside from that, I wanna say I am so thankful for these tutorials of yours, you're changing my life and if my game ever makes it to any stage (even alpha), I'll make sure to include credits to you somewhere in there ♥
Thank you for this tutorial! Right in time, while I also look for any viable tutorial that would actually explain whats the best way to setup either some client/listen with friend invite code (Stardew Valley) or having an external service like EOS for active servers and how to join them / setting up password as server admin..etc etc. It seems like nobody is ever touching these topics. Hard as an pure 3D Artist like me to do a vertical slice that actually needs these things.
Hello, please guide me if it is possible to make a 2.5D type fight game like dragon ball fighterz but a basic version of that like stick fighting with beam attacks
This was AMAZING! Thank you so much for answering my questions, and letting us see how you were debugging the multiplayer functionality. I took like 5 pages worth of notes by about the halfway mark. I'll for sure be sending people to watch this. (I totally thought you were going to keep the "as hanging" in the code. :P)
Great tutorial, your the best. I changed mine so that if one player activates the checkpoint it stores the location on the server so that if the other dies they both will respawn at the checkpoint. I also changed it so that they both share the coin count. I went for more of a Co-op rather then a 1v1.
I'm just started watch ur videos.The things is I'm very interested to know is how much that took u to learn and master all these and working with(I mean UE4 & Blender & photoshop l)??????? Since when you're learning ?!
This just came out yesterday and I've been looking for a video exactly like this one for a year now... Luckily I've been subbed and notified since I first found one of your vids because I knew your vids were going to be gold.
Unfortunately, it is incompatible with my current project... guess I'll have to dl that project. I need to watch more videos on how the gamemode, gamecontroller, playercharacter, and hud interact with each other. There's not enough videos out there that really pick apart how they are supposed to work together like this one does.
@@UnrealEngineTutorials I'm really trying to make this work in my project and I'm unclear as to where the server custom event should be to spawn new multiplayer chars joining an existing server and (perhaps in a different place) respawn dead characters to their prospective spawn points - the GameMode, player controller, or the character.
I wanna join your course but I wanna see the introduction about your game what you make and what topic to include if you can unlock the Introduction Multiplayer First Person Shooter to watch
Worth noting that if you just load up the project from the marketplace without doing the previous tutorial there won't be a HUD to display. The HUD asset will be blank by default, and it took me a bit to figure out why it wasn't showing up.
Yeah if you want to follow exact then you’ll need to go thru the beginner tutorial video. Otherwise you can watch this video to learn and try to apply to your own projects
For some weird reason the jump boost pickup disappears properly for me on all clients before I got to the point where I checked the "replicates" boolean to be true. It might have something to do with my grabbing the project from the marketplace instead of filling it in with the previous tutorial, but I have no idea why that would make it function when it shouldn't. This has broken my brain.
I believe we made some changes in the previous video so yeah it might work out of the box. But regardless the way we set it up here is the “proper” way with the server handling the hidden stuff and replicating that to clients
Nice work! I am going to buy your multiplayer course in the future. Did you record the video and do the audio stuff later? Which video editing program do you use? Keep it up!
OK, I’ve got to say I just kind a like listening to your voice. I was watching this video then suddenly realize that I haven’t been paying attention for like five or 10 minutes I had just been listening to what you had to say. I had to go back and rewatch what I missed.
Awesome video man! I am a beginner but I noticed something when I follow along with your checkpoint part, and I thought maybe someone had the same issue as me. When I play with 2 clients only one of them could activate the checkpoint, to solve this in the BP_Checkpoint blueprint after the on component begin overplay the true condition was unconnected and I thought simply just connecting it or maybe deleting it altogether works. The connecting part worked for me. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!
hello, would you like to know if your courses on your site have subtitles? I'm from Brazil and I need them translated even if by google to help me understand, at udemy I could do that.
I dont understand the 3500 likes on 127,000 views,. it should be much more. I mean, this tutorial was fun to watch and to learn, while you debug stuff with us, which is a big plus because you try things and we see it. so we know what to do and not to do. Hope to get more tutorial like this one, debugging a single player into multi player.
I am on 4.26 and when i do Event handle starting new player or OnPostLogin either way my char wont spawn and i added new BP_PlatformerController to the game mode on 13:30 it spawns spectator pawn Only way i can get char, is when i press simulate and then posess.
@23:08 Index 0 is not always the server. In split screen multiplayer, what you're saying is correct, however in networked multiplayer, get player at index 0 is just the client.
Hi, your tutorial was very useful to me. I remember you had a video about Steam multiplayer in the past. I was sure I saw it , but I can't find it now. Could you please send that tutorial again?
Agh! I must have got something wrong, I have rewatched the last section a thousand times and I still can't get the door to open, the OpenDoor just never fires no matter what I do...
maybe its too late but i also faced this problem and can resolve it. You can just create a server event where you call OpenDoor event, and this server event just call in Interact event. (sorry for my bad english, i hope i could helped you)
For updating the coin HUD, if I try to do it in BP_Coin by creating an run on owning client event and updating UI with it, even though it is updating the ui but i still accessed none errors. How is doing it in the coin blueprint different from doing it in the player controller? Thanks
Will the majority or this be applicable in UE5? A lot of the info that you have said is the exact same in UE5, so I'm wondering if I should download the ue4 asset and do it ue5
I have a weird bug going on that is totally confusing me and making it very hard to wrap my mind around the multi-player. I am starting off after completing the beginner tutorial, when I just play it without changing things and use 2 clients the jump boost replicates. As soon as I click the replicate checkbox it stops replicating and then it won't ever do it again even if I turn right around and uncheck the box. I get no errors, I have went over the code many times and started 3 projects that all end up the same way.
22:26 when I start the game with 2 clients, only the first one spawns. The second client has its HUD drawn, but doesn't spawn - anyone else encountered this and has a fix?
Thanks for this, would be cool for you to continue these videos with videos showing adding more completely new functionality, first as single player and then converting to multiplayer. The 4 in this series are great but could do with even more!
Hi, though I am still learning replication, I have now a bit of understanding because of this video and its easy to follow with the free epic content as a template. I would like to suggest if you could have a similar replication conversion of the recent free epic content: Stack O Bot. Thank you
very cool tutorial man! so if I host the game on aws for example is there a way for the players to access from web so they dont have to install the game on the computer?
Anyone tried using this recently? I was using the steam ID which worked great a few weeks back. These days though in this project, and in my new one, it stopped working and In either project I could see games, but not join them.

Pls make a tutorial for android multiplayer..... Like wifi and hotspot (local) connections.
In a two-player game, when one person arrives at the checkpoint, the other cannot be resurrected from the checkpoint after the other dies
Yeah I didn't realize this until later. You can remove the checkpoint bool so both players can hit it

Yup that is the truth even Epic recommends that
thank you for existing ..i luv this..
Agh! I must have got something wrong, I have rewatched the last section a thousand times and I still can't get the door to open, the OpenDoor just never fires no matter what I do...
