What an excellent resource! Thanks for your hard work, I have bookmarked this :smiley:

22

Document updated to 1.3.0. Added an additional page with the information about the PlayerArray replication. Cheers!

23

Hey party people (: The Compendium is still a thing and I would like to bump the thread so more UE4 Devs see it. Enjoy (:

24

New small update including the latest “PlayerState” changes in 4.13.

  • PlayerState now has a Blueprint Version of “Override With” and “Copy Properties”.
  • PlayerName variable can be changed by using “ChangeName”, a GameMode function.

Download link is still the same.

25

Thank you so much!

Updated with newest 4.14 changes.
Might not contain all of them and definitely needs information about the new GameMode and GameState split.

Awesome this was way more comprehensive then I expected.
Been a while since I worked in UE 4 so need some refreshing of the subject.

Much appreciated!

Hi ,

I don’t know how on earth I overlooked this amazing resource. This Manual should have a permanent link somewhere in the Official Unreal Engine Networking Documentation, if it doesn’t already. Thank you, Sincerely!

35

Well I’m glad you found it because you bumped it to the top and now I found it too! This is amazing thank you for taking the time.

36

You are welcome (:

37

I don’t understand how this wonderful ressource could manage to avoid all my google searches on the matter…

Thanks unrealengine’s twitch chat for sending me !

38

Haha, haven’t watched the replication twitch stream yet, but already heard people were recommending it :smiley:
Hope it helps you!
