Wow i cant believe it was this simple! Thanks for the tutorial. I would be very happy to see client prediction and other related topics from you aswell.

[@pang_off]

thanks you love your tutorial, hope more tutorial multiplayer-based

[@dogemasta7148]

Great tutorial

Thanks!

Is there a way in BP to also client predict the hit? Im not sure if i even need this but im gonna ask. If my hatchet swings im able to offload the anim to the client which is not critical. But the hit itself is delayed obviously. Is it alright for the player to have that delay at higher pings or should i use some sort of client prediction for that too? Because i guess if i add client prediction and the player gets a rollback is absolutely annoying and frustrating. So i guess its better to keep it this way and the player only gets a hit if the server also sees the hit?

@@DevGames3085 - If you are going to make a MP course, please consider making a Vehicular shooter. Client-side prediction on Vehicle pawns are a bitch to pull-off, especially when it comes to movement of the Pawns. Would love to watch, and learn from you implementing it. Thank you very much.
