Hello everyone who sees this. I’m relatively new to unreal engine and I am trying to make a Third Person Shooter.
I want there to be a lobby similar to Fortnite’s. Not the waiting island before you load in, but the actual lobby where you choose your character and stuff.

I’m not sure how to explain it so here’s an example — >

I just cant figure out how to create something like this on my own. I know how to make buttons and stuff like that so thats not where I need help.

I need to know how to make the lobby itself, and how to display the character Chosen by the player and also any other characters chosen by players that join the same “Lobby” ??

Sorry If I’m not explaining this well, its kinda of hard to explain for me because Im doing all of this on my own, but just watch the video, and the very first clip is what i want to re create.

You would have to use something like gamelift. This allows for matchmaking queues. Here’s a good tutorial series on this matchmaking stuff:

Good luck! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask :smiley:
