In this video, you will learn how to integrate the Multiplayer Shooter System (MSS 2.0) into Epic Games' GASP (Game Animation Sample Project). We will go step-by-step on how to merge GASP's advanced locomotion with the MSS combat logic using the CMC Character.

Thanks to the Component-Based Architecture (BPC), we will turn the sample character into a fully functional tactical soldier with weapons, inventory, and replication in just a few minutes.

1. Project Preparation

</aside>

Before working with the character, it is necessary to set up the environment:

<aside>

Plugins: Enable the Common UI plugin (required for Gamepad compatibility).

</aside>

<aside>

Collisions: Create the Projectile and **Laser**object channels and set them to Block by default.

</aside>

<aside>

Migration: Ensure that both projects (GASP and MSS) are on the same Unreal version (e.g., 5.7). Migrate the complete DMD folder to the GASP project.

</aside>

<aside>

Project Settings: In the Common UI configuration, assign the corresponding Input Data (included in the MSS) to avoid interface errors.

2. Skeleton Configuration (Sockets)

</aside>

<aside>

The MSS needs specific attachment points for weapons and reloads.

Open the SK_Mannequin skeleton from the DMD folder.

Select and copy all the Sockets.

Paste them into the root of the GASP target skeleton. </aside>

Open the GASP character Blueprint (SandboxCharacter_CMC):

Visual integration is key to maintaining GASP's fluidity.
