Hi. First post. I have recently picked up Unreal and plan to create a great game, which is based from a custom RTS style game but I believe would also be fun and immersive with the ability to aim in first or third person.
My game will be an online multiplayer game with 8-24 players in a small confined space. Sort of like an arena shooter, but not quite.
Aside from your personal preferences as to gameplay and whether this is a smart design choice, is it possible for me to have an online matchmaking game where players can at one second be shooting in first person mode with first person controls, press TAB or camswitch key and then be lifted to a top-down RTS view, with a right click to move, press A + click to attack etc. RTS keybind setup.
My main questions are:
- Is this humanly possible within blueprint?
- I would imagine this input is all client side and doesn’t effect online performance?
- Any other things I should be aware of or any tutorials and reference information you can provide in relation to this question.
Many thanks!
