SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents common multiplayer synchronization bugs in CkFoundation games, such as client-side state divergence, missing entities, and silent failures in authority-gated logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Replication Stance Management: Defines when to use Replicates vs. DoesNotReplicate to optimize network traffic and ensure consistency.
  • Authority Routing: Implements secure client-to-server communication patterns using cues to prevent unauthorized state changes.
  • Readiness Gating: Provides patterns for handling late-arriving network entities to ensure gameplay logic only executes when data is fully available.

Quick Start

Use the ck-game-replication-patterns skill to audit my current entity spawn logic and ensure all replicated scripts are anchored to a valid ActorRelay channel.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix client-side state divergence in CkFoundation ECS multiplayer games?

To fix client-side state divergence in CkFoundation ECS multiplayer games, apply authority-gated cue execution patterns and ensure all replicated scripts are anchored to a valid ActorRelay channel to prevent missing entities and silent logic failures.

When should I use Replicates vs DoesNotReplicate for AngelScript entities in Unreal Engine?

Use Replicates vs DoesNotReplicate in AngelScript entities to optimize network traffic and ensure consistency. Defining your replication stance correctly prevents unauthorized state changes and ensures framework-level replication invariants are maintained across the server and clients.

How do I handle late-arriving network entities in ECS multiplayer frameworks?

Handle late-arriving network entities in ECS multiplayer frameworks by implementing readiness gating contracts. This ensures gameplay logic only executes when network entity data is fully available, preventing missing entity errors and maintaining deferred-apply notify ordering.

What is the best way to route client-to-server communication securely in CkFoundation?

The best way to route client-to-server communication securely in CkFoundation is implementing authority routing with cues. This prevents unauthorized state changes by ensuring client requests are validated through authority-gated cue execution before applying any state modifications.

Why are my multiplayer entities missing or silently failing during authority-gated logic checks?

Multiplayer entities are missing or silently failing during authority-gated logic checks due to unanchored ActorRelay lifetime ownership or improper deferred-apply notify ordering. Audit your entity spawn logic to ensure all replicated scripts comply with framework-level replication invariants.

Does ck-game-replication-patterns work with standard Unreal Engine multiplayer or only CkFoundation ECS?

The ck-game-replication-patterns skill specifically targets CkFoundation ECS frameworks using AngelScript in Unreal Engine. It resolves state divergence and synchronization issues unique to CkFoundation's ActorRelay lifetime ownership and authority-gated cue execution invariants.
