Networked Mover characterKBVEMover
The shared control-character layer built on UE5's Mover plugin — a networked, data-driven pawn that replaces the legacy CharacterMovementComponent. Server-authoritative with client prediction, so it works standalone, listen-server, and on the dedicated server.
Client-predicted, server-authoritative
Built on UE5's Mover plugin — client prediction with server authority — so it runs standalone, on a listen-server, and on the dedicated server. Runs parallel to the legacy CMC character; games opt in per game.
- Pawn — AKBVEMoverPawn replaces the legacy CharacterMovementComponent.
- Pulls in — Mover + EnhancedInput (depends on KBVEGameplay).
The pawn
AKBVEMoverPawn
Pawn composition
An APawn with a capsule root, skeletal mesh, third-person camera, and a UCharacterMoverComponent (default Walking / Falling / Flying modes).
Input production
Implements IMoverInputProducerInterface and sets itself as the InputProducer; Enhanced Input accumulates intent, and ProduceInput translates it into the Mover sim's FCharacterDefaultInputs (camera-relative move, orientation intent, jump).
Networked by default
Server-authoritative with client prediction — standalone, listen-server, and dedicated server, running parallel to the legacy CMC character.
Integration
Usage
Enable the plugin (pulls in Mover + EnhancedInput), derive a BP from AKBVEMoverPawn, assign the mesh + input assets, and set it as the DefaultPawnClass. Networking is automatic. It runs parallel to the legacy CMC AchuckCoreCharacter — opt in per game.
Planned
Roadmap
- Locomotion animation layer.
- Custom movement modes (sprint / dash / swim).
- Port stats/inventory onto the Mover pawn.
