    This need to be part of official Unreal documentation. Thank you!

      Epic games sell the support: that's why the documentation is bare bones.

    I'm currently slogging my way through many hours of Epic's training videos and it's very refreshing to watch something like this which has actual effort put into it. Not to mention editing.

    Extremely useful video. So hard to find videos that are willing to break down some of these design philosophies and de-mystify documentation. After watching a few times, I feel confident diving into the documentation myself.
    Edit: Two weeks later and I'm watching this video for the 4th time.
    Edit: It's been 7 months and I'm back. This shit's deceptively simple to understand but quite hard to put into practice.
    Edit: 9 months and I still come back to this video sometimes. At first i was coming to learn how to to this with Blueprints and advanced sessions, but now I'm here for C++ and workflow lol

    So much incredible information packed in here, and yet there's very little nonsense. just succinct, clear, well done explanations. Also the depth that is introduced along-side the higher level concepts is a really well done balance.

    Thanks for this Alex, this kind of general understanding should be given more precedence in computer science generally. At least as far as my prior attended lectures, only focusing on the individual components and never taking an overview or talking about 'basically what you're looking at is authority or no authority' really helps clarify understanding.

    • @AlexForsythe
      @AlexForsythe  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      As far as I can tell, Server RPC validation is a C++-only feature.
      If you define a Server RPC in Blueprints, you can still check the parameter values and refuse to proceed with your implementation if they're not valid, but Blueprints don't provide a direct equivalent for the WithValidation specifier.

    • @dimitrioskarvounaris907
      @dimitrioskarvounaris907 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AlexForsythe Well, if the validate function automatically takes care of the result (ie. kicking the user), the check in the Server RPC in Blueprints unfortunately still won't in the same way. How to compensate for this?
      I guess this may be simply like one of those things where Epic is waiting for some user to send a pull request to make this feature available in Blueprints too, as so often in the past? Might be possible to implement it in a similar way how RepNotify for Blueprints is?
