Turn the First Person FPS Template to a Multiplayer experience

Thanks very much for this write up! Still works well in 4.21.
I gather that by using this pattern of RPC and Multicast, I’ll be able to carry forward many concepts, and the challenge will come in the optimisation.
Now, I just need to find out how to launch a server/client from a packaged exe, and connect to the same session. (Non-commercial, private project, so I’m not too concerned about multiple servers hosted etc)

This is awesome and really helpful! A question though, why did you make the WeaponPitch variable an array, but in your later screenshot the “Set” variable node it is a single variable instead? Is this a mistake?

Also it would be great if you could explain why it breaks the second player when, in your replicated box blueprint, you connect the RPC Position event to the Multicast node?

But anyway, this made me understand replication for the first time, thank you very much!

@spacegojira I was not sure about this either. If you right click on New Rotation while nothing is assigned, you have the option to Split Struct Pin - which will give you XYZ values with separate pins. You can do the same on the multicast.
