Pattern for shooting in multiplayer: ON CLIENT: InputAction Shoot → ServerRPC_Shoot (Custom Event, Run On Server, Reliable). ServerRPC_Shoot (runs on SERVER): LineTraceByChannel → Branch(hit) → ApplyDamage → MulticastRPC_PlayEffect(ImpactPoint). MulticastRPC_PlayEffect (Custom Event, Multicast, Unreliable): SpawnNiagaraSystemAtLocation(NS_BulletImpact, ImpactPoint). Key rules: - Server RPC: Custom Event → Replicates='Run On Server', Reliable=true. - Multicast: Custom Event → Replicates='Multicast', Reliable=false (VFX can be dropped). - Client RPC: Custom Event → Replicates='Run On Owning Client'. - Never directly modify replicated vars on clients — always go through Server RPC.
Create a Custom Event → check 'Replicates' in Details → set to 'Run On Server', 'Reliable'. Call from client → executes on server. Reliable = guaranteed delivery (use for important events). Unreliable = may drop (use for frequent updates like position).
ServerRPCUE 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7updated 2mo agoRemote Procedure Call — a function call sent across the network. Server / Client / Multicast versions exist.
Custom Event → Replicates = 'Run On Owning Client'. Only executes on the client that owns this actor. Use for player-specific UI updates, messages, sounds.
ClientRPCUE 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7updated 2mo agoCustom Event → Replicates = 'Multicast'. When called on server, executes on server and all connected clients. Use for visual effects, sounds, animations that all players should see.
MulticastRPCUE 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7updated 2mo agoAn RPC the server calls that runs on every connected client. Use for one-shot effects (explosions, sounds).
Marks an RPC as guaranteed-delivery (TCP-like). Without it RPCs may drop on bad networks. Use sparingly — reliable RPCs are slower.
