In this Unreal Engine 5 blueprints tutorial, MizzoFrizzo will show you how to make your own multiplayer third-person shooter game, complete with replicated procedural aim offset, particle effects, sounds, blood spatter, health, death, respawning, and more. I'll also walk you through a few key aspects of replication in an attempt to help you start thinking about how a multiplayer game is set up.

Utilizing your videos as a ground work for my project. Also for anyone wondering, if you think your going to "eventually" make your game, start now don't (learn unreal) learn unreal through making a game. Doesn't have to be your dream game or good, it can be absolute shit but the more real world use practice the better, you can't learn shit without actually making something. - I am a Unity dev, same tip I give for Unity, don't learn the Engine, learn to make the things you want with the engine otherwise its just tooo much and you wont progress.

Very cool, I followed all the tutorial and did everything and added a bit more, a life span for the decals and destroy actors after death, because in this project, the "player" character would disappear but remain in the world invisible and shooting them would lag a bit, so just before respawning i setted up a destroy actor.

Hey, i have a problem where the socket location of a barrel attached to my weapon only gets replicated if 2 players actually see each other.
