To implement custom character movement in Unreal Engine, you extend UCharacterMovementComponent using MOVE_Custom, handle OnMovementModeChanged events, and define specific movement logic for advanced gameplay like wall-running or dashing.

Network prediction for Unreal Engine character movement works by replicating movement state across clients and server within UCharacterMovementComponent, ensuring smooth synchronization and correcting client-side mispredictions during walking, falling, or custom movement modes.

You switch between movement modes in Unreal Engine by calling SetMovementMode on UCharacterMovementComponent, transitioning between states like Walking, Falling, Swimming, Flying, or NavWalking based on floor detection and gameplay events.

Yes, you can use root motion with UCharacterMovementComponent. It integrates root motion data from animations to drive character locomotion, allowing precise movement control that syncs with animation playback during network replication.

The best way to handle floor detection and slope limits is configuring UCharacterMovementComponent properties, which manages step-up behavior, floor sweep checks, and walkable slope angles to keep characters grounded realistically across varied terrain.

Custom movement modes fail to replicate in multiplayer when MOVE_Custom logic lacks proper network prediction integration within UCharacterMovementComponent, requiring explicit state synchronization and server correction patterns for consistent multiplayer behavior.
