    In this video we address the topic of multiplayer games made with unreal engine. Blueprints are an amazing tool for developing games especially for those who prefer the visual layout over written code. There are many amazing courses and tutorials to begin learning blueprints for free, however many of those that are made for multiplayer functions aren't developed with real world latency conditions in mind.

      What does that exactly do?
      I read their store page, and it lists a bunch of stuff that is built into unreal engine as "Features",
      I get that its supposed to be a more general movement component, but why does it come with a "steam integration with UI backend"?
      like, even the confusion is confused here on what this thing is supposed to be.

      ​@@sundaysquire4013 It's at the bottom of the featurelist, they call it "Steam UI backend", how a UI can be backend idk, if he means they made bindings you can call from UI, then that's pretty weird, as the Steam integration already gives you those!?
      But you can extent anything from the character movement component using your own components, or even make child class of it and expose the things you want? Like to donwards vector?
      I still don't get it, sry.
      Like I do not doubt it will speed up the setup of characters, animations etc, it seems to support a wide-range of them.
      But depending on how you want to trigger those and how they affect gameplay, you will end-up making your own system either way. Nothing can fit your game perfectly, or elese you'll end u making your game conform to the tools you used.
      But the notion that this is somehow not at all possible using plain Unreal Engine is myth.

    From personal experience, I can tell you that Unreal's movement component is very, very rigidly coded in certain ways. This is just as big of an issue in C++ as blueprints. As an example, I was doing a project with spherical worlds. Unreal's movement component however is hard-coded with gravity going in a specific direction, up being a specific axis, etc. So custom rotation? Yeah... no.
    You basically have to rewrite entire sections of the component to get it to do things like that. And that movement component is freaking massive.
    Latency may be a bigger issue in BP, but the movement component is thousands of lines of rigidly structured code.

    • @Gorgonzeye
      @Gorgonzeye 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'd say its not that hard to fix the gravity yourself in a child class, but they seem to have changed it so the get gravity function is no longer public. Hooray for maintaining a custom engine branch.

    • @MrSofazocker
      @MrSofazocker 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That pretty much a non-problem.
      You also dont have to recode everything, the movement component isnt a component by mistake.
      Components enable you to compose (duh) functionality.
      Instead of being stuck with the functionality, you can simply extend the character component with your own stuff, by utilizing all the replications already setup from the character movement component, as it is server authored, you can let the server handle everything,
      The players only get their updated position from the server, they dont move themselves.
      This is also to prevent cheating. For things like speed hacks, etc.
      Imagine you could tell the server what ever you want, and the server updates your position for all other players, simply bcs you said so...
      That's not how you do multiplayer games. (Tell that Bethesda... yeah Fallout76 movement speed was tied to your fps, and was not server authored, so you could sprint at mach2, not fun)

      In the original recording of this video, I had a section towards the end saying that I really don't like that the only solution I can provide to people is to spend more money, but at the end of the day that's what we need to accept when it comes to these topics I think. Either we gain the years of experience ourselves (which I think is astronomically helpful in the long run) or we can pay for the work of others, which is what we have decided is best for this project given its timeline.

    I'm currently facing this same issue in my game. I've gotten as far as I have by coding it all in the character, but even in "low" ping cases the player will rubber band. Especially if they spam the sprint key, like you showed. I've had my eyes on the GMC for ages, and it's good to hear from another dev that it's worth it. Once I can scrap together enough money to get it, I will definitely be buying it, as I think it'll truly make my game WAYYYY smoother for clients. Though I am still worried if it can replicate some stuff that's specific to my game.
    Either way, I appreciate the insight! Spanky looks really interesting, you've got my sub, and as a fellow multiplayer dev, I can't wait to see further progress!!

    • @BoryDev
      @BoryDev  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@DarkSession6208 If you aren't worried about cheaters *at all* then smoothsync will work. But I will say, using smoothsync is basically heaven for cheaters, it is pretty much entirely syncing data from your PC, which means a cheater can manipulate data as they please. You can also use smoothsync in conjunction with the regular movement component as it is not really adding movement, but syncing location & rotation from your local PC to the server (and everyone else) so its useful for physics objects too if you need. I wouldn't just throw it on everything though, performance is still necessary.
      GMC is great if you are ok with rebuilding all movement and finding solutions to movement problems yourself (most people will help in discord but its still all you) and it is also much more authoritative in the sense that the server will correct you if there are location or data differences. So it will protect you more than smoothsync.
      If you are still early stages of figuring it all out, I would recommend staying with the default movement and smoothsync if you run into issues. When you have more experience or know *exactly* what you need to make, you will understand if you need the GMC or not - until then smoothsync would be ok.

      @@BoryDev i know your game was very specific, but i thought some months about this whole problem and still did not come to a conclusion. Do you think it would be a good approach to use a C++ Approach for Sprinting and slap Smoothsync on everything else ? (Vaulting for example) ? My goal would be to rule out velocity changes and teleport, so speedhack and tp. Im just not sure what Cheaters can use to hook on, i mean from what i know the walking state, jumping state is well replicated and not the problem, its just the custom movement different from the CMC that is causing hackers to hook onto this right? So if i would use C++ for those 2-3 custom states i have and keep everything else default or use smoothsync for non critical stuff?
      Im asking because 1) i looked into GMC and hell people say it took them as long as if they would learn C++ and with V2 they raised the price to 700€ .

    • @BoryDev
      @BoryDev  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Took me a decent 6-8 months to really feel comfortable with the programming. I was up and running about 2-3 months in, but to really understand the flow of everything without needing tutorials and such took some time. I think it's important to highlight that, even though I was (and still am) deep in developing our game, I am always learning and getting better.
      Second, the ping is a little bit misleading on games that are peer-to-peer. And there is no way around it, the simple fact is when you are peer-to-peer the actual network ping is pretty much double. Because there is the time to the server player, the processing time, then the time back to the client player. It's not exact but as a general concept the ping takes roughly double the time to process on peer-to-peer. Glossing over that fact, we display the ping of just your machine in our game. We could "fake" it and double it to give a better representation, but at the end of the day as long as it gives a general idea of your connection then that's what's most important. It would also be a little misleading for people to see themselves on 140 ping when connecting to close friends, they might think something is wrong when really its just the peer-to-peer ping.

      If you programm the thing like you should (using the tools epic gives you) you wont have any problem.
      Not with custom movement, custom items, physics replication, everything works flawlessly, if yuo do it like epic wants you to do things, aka the easy way = Server authoritative.
      You can of course execute everything the same way client-side optimistically, and update from the servers result, so things happen immediately, but end up using the servers result.

    such as: punching, kicking, shielding. is the prediction & rollback still applies?

    • @BoryDev
      @BoryDev  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'll try to answer my best however I don't want to confirm anything as I'm not the developer.
      From what I can understand the GMC is meant to handle everything that 'moves' the player as it is essentially made to replace the movement component only.
      However It's up to you if you want to handle a punch or kick anim through the GMC, we do our slap animation through it (doesn't need to be) but you need to make sure any logic that happens as a result needs to be handled accordingly. Our slap is on overlap outside the GMC. Other people have asked about knockback etc which needs to be handled outside the GMC too but then 'tied' into it properly since knockback is a form of movement.
      So it's a very situational answer, it will handle prediction of any variables you bind inside it but you need to be smart about that.
      I think if you want fast rapid kicks and punches, it could be good to handle the replication and prediction of those inputs and drive the animations, then any resulting gameplay logic done outside. Don't put things like health, stamina, or shield etc meters inside it.

      About six months late here, I fear, but...
      While the framework only ships with Windows binaries (and an AllowedPlatformList of only Win64), I can attest that it works fine on macOS and Linux as well; the Windows limitation in the .uplugin and on the store page isn't because the code is Windows-specific, it's because Grim can only build and test it for Windows.
      Given that it *does* work fine on macOS and Linux once you strip the AllowedPlatformList out (and build the plugin yourself), I would assume it would also work fine on consoles.

    It's unreal to me (pun intended) that this is such a MAJOR flaw in the engine, and nobody talks about this. If you want your game to have any kind of uniqueness/sauce at all, it's gotta have its own movement system. I feel like Epic is putting all of their resources into impressive graphics, and forgetting about all the actual GAME pieces. I see so many show off videos of rendering things in UE5, but almost nobody has a handle on how the CMC works, and how to extend it. In general, the design of the CMC is abysmal, and I can't believe Epic hasn't provided a better solution or at the very least more insight on how to make something that goes beyond the standard movement modes and simple "go to position" type movement.
    The GMC from what I can tell is superior in every way, but it's so expensive. I don't understand how Epic hasn't bought it out and adopted it. I personally can't spend that kind of cash on an asset right now, but it seems incredible.

    • @BoryDev
      @BoryDev  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't think any game is safe from huge headaches in regards to replication unless you have enough experience to say that for certainty yourself.
      Best I can say is to prototype as much as you can and at each stage always remember: launch 2 separate instances/windows in standalone with one as a host (or host in background) and play with "NetEmulation.PktLag 500" where 500 can be any number you want to test in milliseconds of network delay. I did not know to do that myself, and that's when I ran into the realization when testing with friends that my movement is more complicated than I thought. So always test with emulating pktlag and just look for anything you wouldn't want to see in a real game

      I also find it amusing that the whole unreal community sees this as the hugest problem that they use Client Authoritive Data Streaming when basically GTA V, DayZ in its early stage, EFT etc... all had absolutely ZERO anticheat and everything was client side, and now they added at least anticheat and people are still cheating because you just can't prevent Aimbots and Wallhacks. I don't see any reason to focus so much on anticheat when everyone will cheat anyways. CSGO would not need to have VAC at all because everyone who wanted to cheat could cheat without problems in the past. So where to draw the line...

      It could but I haven't touched any versions of ALS. They seem great but over bloated for smaller games. I also enjoy having the creative control of including exactly what I want and learning how to implement that, rather than removing code I don't want. I agree the price is on the steep end, there's nothing wrong with trying premade things (als) before committing to the pricey solutions. For me it was easy because I had a lot riding on this game, so I did what I thought was the best in the long run (spending company money) but I know it's a bit different for personal cases.

    GMC looks great, and $600 is nothing if you are actually working on a commercial product. That's a chunk for those of us doing this stuff as a hobby though. That said, $600 would buy a good bit of C++ training as another option. Not necessarily "better" option for everyone, but should be considered. As you mentioned, some people would still have trouble achieving these results in CPP, so it's not an obvious decision. That said, it would be more enabling overall to learn CPP. I recently had to use to just to get modifier keys working (think P vs ALT-P), so it's pretty common to need to use CPP in UE. You can do A LOT with blueprints, and, as you have demonstrated, you can complete a game with only blueprints, but that is not the intention of the engine developers. The engine and toolset are developed around the idea of using a combination of CPP and Blueprints, and if you are able to do that it's a whole new world vs fighting the natural flow.

      We don't use any vehicles but I know its possible and there are others in the discord developing vehicles and ships with it. Depending on how realistic you want the physics interaction will dictate the amount of work. It's not a plug n play solution especially if you want to build a physically simulated vehicle (looking at the discord this seems possible but is some uncharted territory), but for arcade feeling cars I think it would be similar setup to characters. Overall it seems like physics is the biggest hoop for vehicles, I would imagine the replication and prediction part would be just as stable as anything else in the GMC

      Many plugins will say the same thing, it just means that the developer is only making it to work for windows but for a lot of plugins you can still export for other platforms, sometimes you may have to recompile the plugin yourself. Essentially the plugin developers don't guarantee anything will work on anything other than what they support, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for you to do yourself :)

      @@user-zy6wg5qt5f I'm not sure if this is what you mean, plugins shouldn't affect you as the dev working on your project unless perhaps the plugin doesn't natively support Mac and you are working on a Mac. In that case it would affect you because you would need to rebuild it. But otherwise, if you worked on a PS5 project, it wouldn't affect you until you need to actually build and test the project on a PS5
      The way I understand it is that Plugin Developers will only list what platforms are supported based on what they are able to test with. If a plugin developer doesn't have a Mac, they would not put Mac on the list of supported platforms. Same goes for PS5 or Xbox, if the plugin developer can't test their plugin specifically on those platforms then they would not say it can - BUT in a lot of cases the plugins will work perfectly fine (might still need a quick recompile to allow that platform) because the code that the plugins provide are just C++ that the engine exports to those platforms normally anyway. However if the plugin uses an external library / dependency (idk what the correct language is) that is not native to the consoles or unreal and is some custom library of data that's when it gets tricky.. I think .. don't quote me on that because I am not 10000% sure but that's my understanding

      To add to this thread, I can personally attest that GMCv2 builds fine on Linux and macOS. The plugin is set up for only Windows (because that's what Grim can build and test on), and only provides Windows binaries, but the dev does make an effort to ensure that everything still works pretty much out-of-box on macOS and Linux if you strip the "AllowedPlatformList" out of the plugin file and are prepared to build it from source yourself.
      In testing on Linux and macOS for Grim, I've also tested on Android and iOS and can confirm that (not shockingly) it also works there.
      As such, I figure the chances it would compile fine for consoles as well are fairly good.
