How To Make A Multiplayer FPS (First Person Shooter) - Part 1 - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

[@PitchforkAcademy]

If you're using 5.4 please follow my updated version of this tutorial, as it addresses some small changes that may make following along with this tutorial somewhat tricky: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHPNfp5pe6mMfas The Military Weapons Dark and Military Weapons Silver asset packs are not available on Fab due to being long-abandoned by their creator. I have zipped a blank project with both weapons packs and uploaded it to Drive for use with my tutorials. Download it via the link below, extract the project and open it, select both weapons pack folders and right click then 'migrate' and select the 'content' folder of your project to add them and follow along. 🙂 drive.google.com/file/d/1mWnQoWsF15rccD63gwmpsxtZpn83B_2U/view?usp=sharing Full access to our Discord server, Mizzo's Dizzo, is now available for just $1.50 per month... 🤯 Head over to my Patreon and jump on board: www.patreon.com/MizzoFrizzo

[@natecoet3291]

Nice to see you try on something new and fresh. The finals does have interesting mechanics. Covering the fundamentals would be a great start like replicating fire, movement and the basics :)

[@Zush]

Thanks for this video. Very well detailed in showing how to get started in a FPS project (which is often one of the hardest parts.) Subscribed

[@uwaisismail272]

I genuinely think you do post the best tutorials on youtube for UE5

[@PitchforkAcademy]

That's incredibly kind of you to say! 🫶

This is the perfect tutorial at the perfect time. Thank you!

[@yimeezy]

I like the finals gameplay in the intro, the finals is the game i want to base mine off of but a battle royale game

[@Keagan-o2m]

Can you please help me,I don’t have the boolian variable “get has rifle”

[@Keagan-o2m]

Or the weapon variable

[@yimeezy]

@Keagan-o2m try watching his part 1.1 of this series, it’s updated for the more recent engine that doesn’t have those variables i believe

[@chuckymerchant236]

I've been doing the FPS tutorials and got as far as the animations for the pistol and realised I want to be able to kick doors and climb buildings and just generally things I need to see the legs for. I'm gonna take what I've done so far as a learning curve (and I've learned a LOT from those first 8 episodes) so hopefully this is gonna be the one I need to follow. Can't wait!

[@PitchforkAcademy]

I'm trying to think of ways of doing legs, but to get some free ones we might have to take a metahuman into blender...

[@chuckymerchant236]

@@PitchforkAcademy I would honestly be so grateful if you could incorporate that. Do you have a discord or a way of getting in touch? I'd love to show you what I made with the metahuman tutorials

[@chuckymerchant236]

​@@PitchforkAcademy Soooo...I actually done it 😮 and I never even had to open Blender. You've taught me enough to just try shit and see what sticks and I can now kick open my doors and you can see it. It's gonna look ridiculous in multiplayer but it is what it is.

[@SergeiSerison387]

Hi, I want to do the same thing but in split screen mode. Which node can be used instead of «Is locally controlled» to attach rifle to the third person character socket?

[@schalky182]

Great tutorial. Just wondering what is the benifiet of doing it this way with two separate meshes as appose to the true fps that you have done in the past?

[@PitchforkAcademy]

It gives you more control over what the player sees and reduces jittering in the arms because they are parented to the camera and their rotation doesn't need to be replicated. 🙂

[@Keagan-o2m]

Please help it says the character reference is not compatible with the get has rifle node

[@JC7_7]

Hello sorry to be a pain but for some reason my gas weapon Boolean just wasn’t there and I tried something but nothing is working

I've been using UE5 for only 4 days but your tutorials are exactly what I'm looking for. Although half of the time it's as if I'm listening to Chinese while trying to decipher the EventGraph like in the movie Arrival. but in version 5.4 I've encountered 2 obstacles: - In references I have no boolian 'has rifle' - the BP_Weapon_component is different where I can't find 'is locally controlled" Any help is appreciated!

Hey man! Wondering when next video will be up!?

[@DaniilBrilliantov]

Wouldn't it be more convenient to use pre-made Control Rig for Mannequins to create the animation assets? And wouldn't "Control Rotation" node give you the same result without additional math logic on top?

[@PitchforkAcademy]

We will be creating animations with control rig in a future episode. No, control rotation gives you essentially the same output as base aim rotation, the key difference being that base aim rotation is, by default, replicated, so using control rotation requires extra steps.

[@camilocea1838]

Yo bro, this tuto was awesome, it helped me a lot and learned a lot too. I have 2 problems and watching it again I saw that you didn't checked. My first problem is that only the player on the server can make headshots, the other ones only can hit the body, idk why. And the other problems is when the player on the client holds right click and sidesteps it clips, like, it get bugged and it doesn't slow at all. But really thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@camilocea1838]

So I checked again, my problem is that the clients can't deal damage to the head of the server player, but they can deal head damage to each other, idk what is the problem tho :(

Do you have a tutorial series on how to make a game kind of like Rust? That is a complete step by step tutorial? I was trying to get ahold of another guy on KZbin to pay for his series of tutorials and he never answers me.

[@6henny443]

can i ask the benefits of using the fps template rather than just using the third person so you already have a mesh visible to other players? Edit-I see now the weapon blueprints and things

[@PitchforkAcademy]

This allows us to more easily control what the player sees, and gives you a more fluid movement as the camera can swivel. It's also easier to replicate, which is why almost every multiplayer shooter ever made has been done this way...
