Multiplayer-Ready |

Directional Combat & Lock-On System is a fully replicated, server-authoritative melee combat framework inspired by modern action games.
It is designed from the ground up for multiplayer projects, supporting directional attacks, directional blocking, lock-on targeting, AI combat, and advanced HUD integration.

This system is built entirely in Blueprint, follows Unreal Engine best practices, and avoids common multiplayer pitfalls such as invalid ownership.
