This entire project consisted of tutorials because I have never worked in netcode and did not plan on making a portfolio piece about it. In the future, there will be projects that I may want to know how to incorporate such a thing, but since this is for our portfolios, I did not go the extra mile to do so.

Last week, I followed a Gorka tutorial that taught me what an RPC is. This week I followed another tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSumrYmRH7w. This is a LAN only tutorial, teaching how to create a HOST/JOIN system by creating two custom events and a simple menu. I am simply trying to learn the basics, and could experiment with more in the future.

I started by making a simple UI menu featuring a JOIN and a HOST button. The custom events make use of UE5 pre-built functions. These took the Player controller in as input.

That’s all she wrote.
