UCharacterMovementComponent::ServerMovePacked_ClientSend

The actual network RPCs for character movement are passed to [ACharacter](API\Runtime\Engine\GameFramework\ACharacter), which wrap to the _Implementation call here, to avoid Component RPC overhead.

Remarks

The actual network RPCs for character movement are passed to ACharacter, which wrap to the _Implementation call here, to avoid Component RPC overhead. For example: Client: UCharacterMovementComponent::ServerMovePacked_ClientSend() => Calls CharacterOwner->ServerMove() triggering RPC on the server. Server: ACharacter::ServerMovePacked_Implementation() from the RPC => Calls CharacterMovement->ServerMove_ServerReceive(), unpacked and sent to ServerMove_ServerHandleMoveData().

ServerMove_ClientSend() and ServerMove_ServerReceive() use a bitstream created from the current FCharacterNetworkMoveData data container that contains the client move. See GetNetworkMoveDataContainer()/SetNetworkMoveDataContainer() for details on setting a custom container with custom unpacking through FCharacterNetworkMoveData::Serialize(). Wrapper to send packed move data to the server, through the Character.
