ICMP with Blueprints (Advanced Ping System)

Know your network. ICMP with Blueprints is a lightweight, high-performance networking utility that allows you to measure latency and verify server availability directly from your Blueprint logic.

Whether you are building an in-game server browser, a region-selection menu, or a real-time network health HUD, this plugin provides the professional-grade ping tools you need to keep your players informed.

🚀 Key Features

• Dual Protocol Support:

  • ICMP Ping: Send standard "Echo Requests" to any IP or Domain to measure round-trip time (RTT).

  • UDP Ping: Send UDP-based pings to specific ports, ideal for testing connectivity to game servers behind firewalls.

• Non-Blocking / Asynchronous: Pings are executed on a background thread. Your game’s frame rate will never hitch or freeze while waiting for a network response.

• Detailed Feedback: Get more than just a number. Retrieve latency (ms), packet loss status, and success/failure states through simple Blueprint events.

• No C++ Required: All networking logic is distilled into easy-to-use Blueprint nodes.

🛠 Practical Use Cases

• In-Game Server Browser: Automatically sort available servers by the lowest ping for your players.

• Region Selection: Help players choose the best AWS region (GameLift) by testing latency to different global endpoints.

• Network Health HUD: Display a real-time "Ping" counter on the player's screen during gameplay.

• Pre-Flight Connectivity Checks: Verify that a player can reach your backend services (Cognito, DynamoDB) before they even hit the login screen.
