    Just to confirm that bit in the video where he says the code should not be running for simulated proxies:
    This is what is says the official documentation; "Most of this process's complexity focuses on mediating predictions and corrections between the autonomous proxy and its counterpart on the server to make sure that players have the smoothest experience possible in controlling their own characters. Simulated proxies, by comparison, only need to stay up to date where the server says they should be." Thanks for the excellent video!

    17:23was where everythiong finally clicked after MONTHS of trying to figure out why my advanced use case of dynamically sending a procedurally generated world using replicated functions wasnt working, this ENTIRE time I assumed the events got cast to the locally controlled pawn automatically, so essentially I was overwriting references on all the clients every time a new client joined the server (I have a launcher I made so they aren't all in the server at the start or same time). thank you so much I'm definitely gonna finish the video cause its been extremely informative so far

    This is so good, thank you a lot. Love that you also demonstrate the common pitfall. Would be nice if we could get an explanation like this from you on Epic's Gameplay Ability System or the Replication Graph too. Thank you for doing what you are doing, a good networking subject that dive into the code and expand it with your own implementation like this is quite hard to find.

    You're a godsend really.
    I've got a lot of scripting, and some programming experience (C# and Java for the most part), but C++ is another calibre hands down. I tried books, but they tend to go on for at least a thousand pages and quite frankly I tend to drop them by the 200 page mark lmao. So yeah, these tutorials are insanely helpful, both for learning UE4 per se and for (slowly) putting together a better understanding of C++
    Thanks for making em :)

    Man, this is why I watch tutorials even if it isn't something I need, because I accidentally learn things I do need along the way. I have a project I've been working on in my spare time for a while now, and it works fine, but you made me realize I over-engineered it. It's a game about buying and selling stocks, and in order for it to work right, I used to have a function that ran as the client and then one than ran as the server to add or removes shares or money, and had to use checks to make sure the functions didn't run twice for the server player because then the math gets duplicated, and it was a mess. Lo and behold I see in your demo that the player sets the speed and then tells the server the new speed. It doesn't tell the server what to add to the current speed. Why was I having the server do any math? I ran down to my computer immediately to apply such logic.
    Now the client does the math locally, and then runs an as-server event that only accepts the new values and stores them in variables. Now if it happens twice for the server, it'll just set the same variable to be the same value twice, big whoop. I deleted soooo many senseless nodes today.
    Thank you so much for that realization. I'm pretty sure it didn't break anything, and it wasn't necessary at all to improve existing functionality, and really it just distracted me from the tasks I was intending to work on, but that's okay because now I know!

    I have been working on a multiplayer fps for the last year. It has gotten quite far, however never ran very good with more than 70 ping. However, I just added in wall jumping, and such a huge instantaneous change in velocity was IMPOSSIBLE to get working the way I had been handling multiplayer movement. I just used your approach and it made everything run way better. Thank you so much. :)

    Is this the recommended way of doing multiplayer anymore? I tested the project in a 4.26 source build, and compared the good and bad methods (making sure to comment out that bit that changes the movement component) and while the latency was present, I did not experience any rubberbanding at 500 ping. Does this mean I can safely use blueprints for all my networking, without having to rely on bulky C++ code? BTW, thanks for these great tutorials, I've learned more from you about programming in Unreal than anywhere else.
    Edit: Nevermind, after more testing with packet loss, it seems the C++ is still more stable. (I'm surprised, at 50% packet loss, while having a lot of rubberbanding, it isn't nearly as extreme as the blueprint method.)

  • @trampflips101
    @trampflips101 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    HasAuthority() technically doesn't equate to "is this instance of the actor on the server", although it will in most cases. For example, actors spawned by the client will have authority on the client, and tear off actors also have authority on the client.
    I do understand why you gave the more simplified explanation of what it does, as it makes it a little easier to understand and is correct most of the time.

    best CMC replication tutorial out there 100% .the way you replicated the sprinting is very interesting, and seems like the most logical way to do it after all like you said it's just a faster walk and walk is there. but can you change the sprint speed variable at runtime without an issue? because it seems to be same as unreal default stuff and you can't change that. or i can just add it to the ''sprinting'' function as an input and set it on the server and locally controlled? it's been almost 2 years you probably don't even remember this but i'm giving it a shot.

    Would love to see how you can also replicate animations. I'm using some replicated variables to control the animgraph on replicated proxies, but with lag, the autonomous proxy waits for the server to respond before activating the animation. I'm probably doing something wrong, but that's one of the reasons why I loved this tutorial!

      I suppose the alternative if somebody wanted to do their project solely in blueprints would be to execute the start and stop sprint functions on the server only, and then have the mechanic replicated back to the client via a repnotify or RPC. It means that there will be 2x the ping duration between the button press and the in-game response, but it won't rubberband.

  • @day1developer
    @day1developer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great Video! I would like to add that you DO NOT want to have the tick rate set to 120. That is far too high and even though in a perfect scenario that would be amazing. This can cause network congestion issues with the clients and server trying to send too much data, far too quick. The key here is to do what you can with the least amount of data possible. Unreal does a great job for the most part but generally you want to keep the tick rate at 30 times a second. This should still look really good if you are doing it correctly. A tick rate of 120 times a second is unrealistic and will not scale or work in a real scenario. Even a tick rate of 60 is hard to achieve at scale.

    • @peterino2
      @peterino2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      that value is there for you to tweak some games like fighting games or tactical shooters run at higher tick rates with lower lag tolerance, Other PVE games tend to run at a much lower tick rate
      I think it was like big news when valorant annouced that their servers would tick at 120hz

    you kinda skipped one of the biggest reasons to do this. This does not just tell the server that the client did something, the client says "i sprinted at time xxx" and the server does a complete replay of the clinet movement and sees where it ends up given that he started sprinting ~500ms (based on latency) in the past
    Thats why it doesnt have any jitter, because the server travels back in time to retrocativley apply the changes from the client

    @Nintendan95 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What an incredible resource. For noobs like me, this really is a gold mine of information, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
    I know next to no C++, but between this and your also incredible C++ Introduction videos, I'm slowly getting a hang of things with it (I know maybe UE isn't the best place to just jump right in with C++ but I just kinda feel like doing so, and stuff just makes more sense to me when its in the context of UE anyways).
    Just some small questions about this though, if thats cool:
    1) So with this system, the client is, to what it looks like to me, still telling the server "I'm sprinting now" after some local velocity checks. Does the server also check anything here too? Like does the magic of replication sorta do a "is this velocity/direction fine to start sprinting?" sorta check on the server for that player? If not, how would one go about gating this sorta thing. Maybe let's say a pickup gives the player the Sprinting ability, would you just gate that behind a replicated bool that the client has no control over sorta thing?
    2) If I am having multiple walk speeds, but just walkspeeds and nothing more (like wall running or other unique movement systems), do I still need flags for each one? For example I've got regular walking, then sprinting, crouching (already provided in engine which is nice), and Aiming (slower move speed, like ADS essentially).
    I have looked through the code, and I got a good understanding of these flags and how they're sent to the server to copy and use for the movement component (you explained this super well thanks!!), but would I need a flag for each move speed like this?
    And just to entertain the thought, what about Dynamic movespeed values for each weapon (like Counter Strike)? I imagine you can simply grab a movespeed modifier/value from your characters 'CurrentWeapon' reference sort of thing, and use that to fuel what values we're changing in this code no problem, but again with a server-y question, does the server verify that? In other words, when we change the MaxMoveSpeed of a character move component, does something like this happen with a cheater?:
    -Cheating client says "I am holding this gun, sooo my movespeed should be (cheats) 9000", sends this to server
    -Server gets the movespeed update request and checks the gun speed and says "Actually, that gun gives 700 movespeed, your movespeed has been corrected"
    I said small questions and I lied, I'm sorry x) Big problem of mine.
    But thank you ever so much for the video. Its been very fun to learn how this stuff works. Your C++ beginner tutorial has been the first UE C++ tutorial that has made sense of stuff to me, loving the content man!!

    • @ReidsChannel
      @ReidsChannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well determining what the server verifies vs doesn’t verifies comes down to the decision of sacrificing security vs sacrificing responsiveness. If you have the server verify the player can sprint before allowing him to sprint then there would be a delay between when the player pushes the sprint button and when he starts sprinting since he has to wait for the green light from the sever. So for things like this, usually the server doesn’t verify.
      As far as having different flags, no. If you want to change walk speeds you need to first change it on the client, then tell the server it has changed by passing it as a variable to the server, similar to how we pass the flags

  • @EMzuki
    @EMzuki 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice video. However I’m still confused as to why the C++ approaches to sprinting doesn’t cause rubberbanding like the blueprint approach does. Flags are still susceptible to lag just like anything else, right? The autonomous proxy can start sprinting before the server even recives the flag, but no rubberbanding happens. I’m guessing the character movement does a lot of things under the hood that gets this to work smoothly.

    • @samegabi42
      @samegabi42 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      as far as I understand, the character movement does in fact a lot of things under the hood, in this case, the server gets the delta time since the last saved move it recieved and compensates for this, so if the client with the autonomous proxy started sprinting a while ago, when the server gets that package it will very quickly compensate so that the character is where it should be if he had started sprinting earlier, thus server and other clients with the simulated proxies should see the character sprint super fast for a second or two before catching up

    • @alecsimpson5566
      @alecsimpson5566 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey I know this is an old comment, but basically:
      - You start sprinting, the CMC saves that as part of its move. It sends that move to the server.
      - Lag happens. The server hasn't received your move.
      - Locally, your client will keep on saving new moves during this time.
      - When the server tells your client a move has been confirmed, your client removes that move from its list of saved moves, and then replays all of the other moves that HAVENT been confirmed yet (including your lagged move about starting to sprint).
      - Eventually, your sprint move will make it to the server and be confirmed, but until then, the local client just assumes the move happened until the server tells it otherwise.
      Essentially, you keep a list of all the things your predicted your character doing, and then when the server tells you whether or not one of those moves actually happened, you adjust your character back to wherever the confirmed move was and play all of your unconfirmed moves again. Most of the time, you won't see any of this "replaying" as it will end you exactly where you predicted. If you cheated, or lag caused you to try sprinting or jumping while something on the server prevented your from doing so, then when the server tells you "hey that sprint never happened," you will get some rubberbanding, but the engine smooths it by default anyway.

      its possible for some things but not for others. Any sort of advanced movement (stuff other than walking and jumping) needs to be done in c++ like shown in the video. But replicating the color of an object for example or whether or not a door is open can be done just as easily in BPs

    @ihormay3418 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Golden content. I was trying to implement quite complex movement system based on RPC, and it totally sucked.
    I guessing, the main problem, that RPC is not guaranteed to fire from client to server in the exact tick, you have it called in blueprint. If client stands on a floor, he starts to sprint and RPCs to server that he sprints, after 5 seconds of ping server pawn starts movement. But if RPC call is late for a second(for example), than we will have 1 second of desync of client running on a sprinting speed, and server-pawn running on jogging speed. Am I right?

    Im writing my own version of this in c++. Trying to determine if the player is holding the left or right movement key (A or D) while wall running. When i use a for loop for IsInputKeyDown it seems to only be true if the value is positive 1 and not negative so I can only wall run to the right side and not the left.. How can I loop through for both the A and D keys? Or should I implement it differently?

    Hm, is it to be expected that there is still *some* lag that is noticeable? I didn't see any in your demonstration, but following step by step with your code as reference, both on my client and my listen server (client moving) I still see rubberbanding. Not as much as you showed in the beginning, so yeah it works generally, but still enough to be really unpleaseant.
    So, am I doing something wrong somewhere or is that just the sad reality of the situation?
    That being said, I see the same rubberbanding just using normal movement input, so it's not really related to sprinting at all. Wonder how that is. Years back I wrote client side prediction for vehicle physics that were less laggy than this UE CharacterMovement component at 200 ping. Don't really understand what's going on. As I have it set to a fixed ping, the snap-back on the client of the listen-servers character makes no sense to me.

    Hey, I have a question. I hope you take the time to point me in the right direction. So all my replication is working fine however there are these saved chunk files around 10 kbs in space and some frames up to 4 will be sent from the server to the client that requested them. This works however the client lags out for a few seconds after seeing them and the client doesn't see anyone move or place blocks for a couple seconds. Is there a method for sending largish amounts of data over the network without the client freezing?

    • @ReidsChannel
      @ReidsChannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not rly. If you have to send a lot, you have to send a lot, there's no way around it besides compressing the data or spreading out the data over multiple frames.

    First of all great Video. I learnt much from this. However what i wanted to do for my project goes a bit beyond and i found no way if its even possible. What id like to do is setting the movementspeed dynamic during runtime. E.g the player can use the mousewheel to either decrease or increase the desired movementspeed while in the game (like older Splinter Cell games). I found several ways to do this for Singleplayer but none that would work in Multiplayer. Any Idea or Suggestion where i can look?

    • @ReidsChannel
      @ReidsChannel  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thank you :) I've never seen a tutorial which covers that specifically however you should be able to incorporate that into this tutorial. It already has code for changing the movement speed at runtime (when switching from walking to sprinting) so all you would need to do is hook up some input to the mouse wheel and set the movement speed though the character movement component (the same way I do for running).

Yeah the way i tried it was to replace the sprint logic inside the getspeed function with an switch on enum to set different values depending on the enum.

Well back to the drawing board i guess.

      Are you opening the project through the .uproject or the .sln? The project contains c++ code so you need to recompile it through visual studios using the .sln. If you right click on the .uproject you can hit Generate Visual Studio project files. This will create for you a .sln file which you can double click and open visual studio. You can then compile and launch the project through that.
