Somebody have problem to join in hosted matches? Everythings work, but sometime we don’t see each other and sometime there are problem to join. Another bug is about servers found, sometime an hotsed match repeat itself. Someone had these problems? ---

Hey, wanted to contribute to this project. I asked around about the prone thing and basically the solution to the problem would be to rotate the capsule when in prone. Now, this is not enough, because moving forward the capsule would move the actor into the ground: ![9b68c683f9.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/8/0/e806d25cd8d97ac7d186e20da5499b61b0cdd376.png) So there would be a need to change the movement when character is in prone.

Not just the capsule, but the entire actor, since the actor gets its rotation from the capsule root component. I’m not sure whether you could get the movement component to make you “walk upwards.” Perhaps give it the actor up vector instead of forward vector when dealing with the input? ---

Thanks for the info guys… I added a couple of what you guys said, I should’ve quoted you but I had no time, need to go to work… A staff member said, he was going to get in contact with a specific developer to see if they could implement this, which, sounds amazing.

For reference, I put this together in a couple of minutes and it seemed to work. [http://puu.sh/lS0ur/0364cb80ea.png](http://puu.sh/lS0ur/0364cb80ea.png) [http://puu.sh/lS0Bd/81986eb3d9.jpg](http://puu.sh/lS0Bd/81986eb3d9.jpg) You will need a switch on some bool “is prone” to flip between up (prone) and forward (regular) motion. Edit: On further testing, it doesn’t work because the movement component forces you to be your capsule’s halfheight off the ground, regardless of the orientation of the capsule. ---

edit: fixed it, but leaving it here in case somebody has the same issue. Hey, me again, as always. I’m having troubles. With joining the host menu and leaving the main menu. The problem is that I need to click **twice** to open the host menu, once is not enough for some reason. But the other problem is that this works only without the hide main menu. Because if I have everything connected, like in the guide, after the first click the main menu disappears correctly (like it should) but I can’t click the second time to open the host. So I’m stuck between two situations, the first one with both menus one over the other (when hide main is not executed) and the other situation is that when hide main is executed but everything disappears leaving me only with the background. This is my MM\_Menu: ![ut7l0F5.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/7/e77e038c905de8277cdbc644722852593680d0aa.png) This is my PlayerController\_BP: ![L8jjAJD.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/0/00bc635ba1405d1a673c20fd504c63dc9a8e1813.png) This is my leave current state macro: ![motGrOW.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/1/e1d994461b82c31044163d66ffc5534b040635b3.png) ---

glad you figured it out. I finally have my brain somewhat working and am working on setting up basic weapons, a primary and secondary, setting the base class, then the children for each, as well as a structure for classes so we can set to load the right weapons… and getting them either on our back or hip, or in our hands when we switch.

Two things: a) Also create another called Mode\_Name of type string. on page 40 of the pdf is wrong, it has to be a type text. b) [Tutorials | Shooter Tutorial](http://shootertutorial.com/tutorials/) is a great website, he does mostly stuff in c++, but I think much of the things can be translated to blueprints, maybe just credit him in case you get inspired. ---

Pls send the project files with everything in it, so I can start switching models/animations/widgets when you finish it… That way I can start from the beginning again.

Have seen the menu thing. Cool, but it’s a pay item. Lipsync is cool too, but nothing I see needed for what I am working towards. A single player, or maybe multi player where you have interactions that require speech. the ocean water looks awesome… no doubt could be useful for a map here and there… but another marketplace item… and mapping is a different topic. Thought I would get more done over the past few days, but life has come in the way of play. ---
