  • Ok, thanks a lot for the reply.

    I guess I'll have to go with something not browser based for this particular project.

    Still, I found C3 to be a great lightweight engine and I'll be 100% learning it as my secondary engine for prototypes and smaller/web/mobile projects :) So contrags on the awesome work on the engine!

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • I know about AirConsole, and that's exactly what I'm trying to do, but with my own propietary solution, because there's no AirConsole plugin for UE4 (amongst other things).

    However, since I only need to send simple string commands, wouldn't that be possible with JavaScript? (I´m asking sincerly since I don't know JavaScript at all. I'm just looking for the best way to do it so then I can find someone with that particular skill to do it).

    I found a github link with a simple example code for UDP connections with JS. Could this be implemented somehow in C3 to send/recieve the neccesary commands to UE4? gist.github.com/sid24rane/6e6698e93360f2694e310dd347a2e2eb

    Thanks.

  • Ok, what I'm trying to do is to create a mobile companion app that I can use as a controller for the PC Game.

    I already have this working within UE4 (a build for the PC server and a build for the mobile apps), but the mobile app is 60 mb without any content at all, so I'm looking to replace it with something much more lightweight.

    What I would basically need is to send control commands from the mobile app (movement axis, turn, jump...etc), which would then be interpreted inside UE4. Also I would need UE4 to send feedback events to the mobile app (like player killed), so C3 will interpret them and will display a splash screen saying you got killed, for example.

    I already found a few plugins for UE4 that will allow me to create a server through UDP (which is what I have been told is the best solution for my problem), but I still need to find a client solution for UDP.

    Thanks.

    Ps: I ONLY need this to work in LAN.

  • Greetings!

    I’m an UE4 user but I’m working on a project that will requiere a mobile companion app to connect through UDP on LAN and I’m considering using Construct 3 for the app, but I wanted to know what options do I have for that. I saw a few attempts on the forum but they are for older versions.

    I saw that C3 has UCP built in but it appears to have a very specific implementation (WebRTC?) that I’m not sure will work with Unreal.

    Ant pointers will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.
