How To Make A Multiplayer Third Person Shooter - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

In this tutorial I'll show you how to make your own multiplayer third-person shooter, 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.

One thing I forgot to do is change the sounds for different surface types! The functionality is there I just literally forgot to choose different sound cues. 😑

Hey man, respect the grind, i ask you man to never stop, and NEVER change the style of your tutorials, i love how its quiet, no music, and explain your steps while going, its just perfect. However i wanted to ask u, is the true fps tutorial completely done? If so because i plan to implement it into a project of mine, much love ❤

[@MizzoFrizzo]

It's not completely done, but anything I add to it at this point won't be of much substance, maybe just some basic AI enemies.

[@resonant-gaming]

For the zoom timelines I'd suggest using one timeline and then playing it forward on pressed and playing it backwards when released so it handles everything for you instead of needing copy/paste logic for both. 49:22

The reason I set it up this way is because I've encountered problems before when just using play/reverse...

This will take a weekend to go through!! 😅thanks! @MizzoFrizzo Any chance you can look into making a video about game optimization? Can't seem to find a clear video covering the whole concept... I'm sure there are others who may want content like this.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

You're welcome, hope it helps... That's a very broad topic and not really in the realm of beginner's content so probably not, no. ✌️

[@UnrealAnderson]

Love this tutorial, thank you so much! If I may, I would like to request a tutorial on using weapon blueprints(actor_bp) instead of skeletal meshes. Would be really useful when having a weapon asset that consists of multiple attachments and has it owns animations. Anyway, please keep it up, such great videos!

[@MizzoFrizzo]

I already have maybe 10 videos about using weapon BPs.

Hey just came across your channel. I was hoping you would be able to make a tutorial for a true first person shooter that is also replicated and has an attachment system for different scopes/magnifications. I haven't been able to find great tutorials anywhere else and If this is something you can do, it would be incredibly appreciated. Regardless I'm leaving a sub. Great content!

[@MizzoFrizzo]

I very well may do that some day, but I can't say when so don't hold your breath!

[@elijahbacon8792]

You should make a multiplayer fps tutorial similar to this one! I haven't been able to find much on that stuff bc most of it is outdated!

[@MizzoFrizzo]

You know what?? I definitely will. It's just a matter of when...! ✌️

[@Louieduffelbags]

@@MizzoFrizzo Seconding this, about at the end of your fps tutorial, its been so helpful thank you!

[@VictorGO86]

Around 1:35:00 you talk about "simulate physics". Is there a way to have the bodies land in the same position on all clients? only with animations? Great videos by the way!! I've spent a lot of time with UE4/5 tutorials for nothing. But this is not the case. Thank you so much.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

Yep, just use a death animation instead...

[@Sashye111]

Hello, pls made a dedicated server Tutorial :)

[@HeyShotgun]

So would I be able to port this project into my current project? And have this be loaded as a specific level/ game mode? I’m thinking outside the box. I’d assume i could.

[@crazyguy7585]

U Do not need to Call ROS_AnyDamage because Any damage Node is already set Server side u just need a current health rep notify after any damage damage - current health if current health

[@MizzoFrizzo]

I put it on the server to have the authority check...

[@netherworld8196]

Great video! Quick question for everyone I have setup an inventory and attack system (even setup a weapon id for animations using a data table.) What would you say is the best way to setup the animations. (Never really done much with animations like this and unsure how to trigger each one.)

[@MizzoFrizzo]

Basically any variable that dictates an animation needs to be set on a multicast event and whatever is used to set it passed through to the server then passed through to the multicast. Look at what we do when we replicate the pitch then use that method

[@netherworld8196]

@@MizzoFrizzo ok thank you helps a lot I’m bad at animations😂😂😂. I prefer the environmental side of unreal.

Hi guys, not sure if anyone else gets this problem with structure 41:00, server side does activate enhanced input, i added "event_possesed" linked to cast to "BP_gamecontroller" to fix. is there a better way to fix this?

[@Sailor-X-Topher]

I'm about to start this tutorial, but have a quick question. I skipped to the end of this video to see the last few minutes; can you package and play this with friends? I'd love to learn about the process of testing this with multiple players in a real time packaged environment. Thanks!

[@MizzoFrizzo]

That's a complicated undertaking. This is more of a beginner's guide to start practicing replication logic.

[@Sailor-X-Topher]

@@MizzoFrizzo That’s understandable. As a content creator myself, I know it’s impossible to make videos about everything that commenters ask for, but do you think it’s possible you may make a video on the topic? I think you do a particularly good job of explaining in your videos; they are concise and very easy to follow. I will say that I’ve seen a lot of tutorials on multiplayer replication, but there is a real void in the space of actually building out a small multiplayer project and testing it with a packaged project. Thanks so much for making such quality content!

[@MizzoFrizzo]

@Sailor-X-Topher Yeah maybe some day...

[@Lusiirealworld]

Hey MizzoFrizzo, Do you make Multiplayer Third Person Shooter - CO-OP Tutorial Series?. I will buy your course :D

[@MizzoFrizzo]

[@aakburns]

Eye opening. Thank you. Two things. When the client player is ADS and moving, the movement become choppy, almost skipping? How do we solve this issue? Can you continue this tutorial showing how to make a proper first person player? Thanks again.

[@aakburns]

Alright, I have fixed this. I took Right Mouse Button, both pressed and released. I made a custom event for each. Set them for ROS Reliable. Then made two more custom events. These ones for the client and set to Multicast and Reliable. Then out to the two functions of pressed or not. Fixed. :D Thanks for teaching me stuff.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

You're very welcome! 🙂 I'm not really sure; this is more just a beginner's introduction to replication... I do plan on eventually making a true first person shooter series with replication, but I can't tell you when that will be.

[@aakburns]

@@MizzoFrizzo I've tried a method with the third person character you had created in this tutorial. No boom arm, just the camera, attached to the neck. If you tick 'Use Pawn Controller Rotation' It definitely works as I'd want, however looking up and down the arms and gun are very choppy, but positioned quite well. Any thought on improving this?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

@@aakburns As I said, I hope to eventually cover it. Until then, all the best on your endeavors! 🫶

[@melvyn1970]

Can't get past 27.41 where you change the character reference, UE5.3 just freezes and I have to ctrl+alt+del to quit it, I updated my nivia drivers to the latest ones a few days ago, maybe thats the issue :(

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. When a player moves out of vision for the other player the socket sticks at the same position. This will cause that the line trace is not correct for both players. I dont know why this is happening... any help?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

Hmmm. Try going into the character BP, search for "visible", and under "visibility and anim tick options" change it to 'always tick and refresh bones'. Please let me know if this works...

[@exem7]

@@MizzoFrizzo I tried that but didnt work sadly. I noticed that the problem is also happening with reloading animations. When i go out of vision for the other player and reload my gun and at the same time im going back in vision, the reloading anim for the other player is starting delayed if you know what i mean...

@@exem7 Yeah I understand. Sorry I don't know a fix off the top of my head.

[@youngjojo3052]

From my understanding the event apply damage and the even any damage are running on the server so why did you create an RPC for the server?

Because I don't know everything... You would probably still want to apply damage on the server so that it's authorized.
