Can I use this skill for Blueprints?

While the architectural concepts apply to Blueprints, this skill specifically focuses on C++ implementation patterns and header/source file structures.

Does it help with multiplayer replication?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on authority and data replication strategies between GameMode, GameState, and PlayerState classes.

When should I use PlayerState instead of PlayerController?

This skill guides you to use PlayerState for persistent, replicated data like scores and kills, while reserving PlayerController for input and local UI.

Can I access GameMode from a client machine?

No, GameMode exists only on the server. This skill will help you redirect client-side data requests to the GameState or PlayerState instead.
