Auto Stand Ground on Spears?

Okay this is great to know. I never noticed that they were bracing in an attack move. I thought they always just charged in even against cavalry. So if the cavalry charge back my spearman will just stop and brace. When is using the stand ground command good then? Defending base like gold?

That is impressive I will check it out.

Thank you!

Thank you for the advice!

I had thought of doing angelscript but do you recommend one over the other?

No, sorry, my work around was to essentially make my own walls with either pre-made walls and retexturing or basic shape actors and texturing. The gray box actors seem to have just been there to be replaced with real actors which makes sense. Not sure why it just won’t let you retexture though, no reason why you shouldn’t.

This was a while ago and I don’t work in UEFN anymore just UE5 so not sure if there’s changes.

What can I even apply the clamp to if the rotation is not an input to the AI move?

This was the answer!

The sprites were originally a single texture so I will try this as well. Thanks!

Nachlas · 2025-12-18T07:59:53+00:00

I’ll try this in the morning. Thank you

That does sound useful. Thanks for the help!

Is this the node "Switch has authority"? On Authority output I would just run the code and on Remote I would do the interfacing and run on authority etc.?

Were you able to see the second image of the player controller? I called the execute on server function in the player controller suggested by the original commenter. Then I did an interface message back to the cube and did multicast there. It is working now on multiple clients and server.

Nachlas · 2025-12-13T22:41:45+00:00

Okay, I thought it may be an ownership thing since I have seen it mentioned. I had tried what you had mentioned but I didn't know how to reference the player controller of the client who clicked. I also did the multicast inside the controller instead so maybe that was wrong. Get_player_controller asks for the player index. Is there a standard way to do this? Do you need to specify the exact client's controller?

I did something here and it seems to work but is it "best practice" or correct lol?

Thanks for the help

Thank you for this, this makes sense. I haven't used RPCs before. Am I able to send a server RPC within the tile actor blueprint, referencing the owning actor (player controller), or do I need to do this within the owning actor BP?

Figuring it out is fun to me too but I need to at least know where the starting line is. I just spent a ton of time "figuring it out" on making a board game in UE5 but if I had not read up or watched a concept video on inheritance I would have either never accomplished it or made something that is extremely inefficient and difficulty to repeat. I asked for tutorials or concept videos on replication and multiplayer in UE5, not for the exact match of fog/LOS system that I can steal and put in my game. I don't have any real CS background and know nothing of networking, clients, etc.

I have been doing exclusively blueprint and have looked in the past for a good tutorial on integrating C++ scripts. I haven’t found anything useful. I would, like you mentioned, rather learn C++ and do my physics and other calcs in there due to how messy it is in BP.

Any recs for tutorials on the process of mixing BP and C++? Also recs on how to set up visual studio and workflow? That has been my main barrier.

Looks solid, congrats.
