Getting started:

- Set your GameMode's PlayerController and Default Pawn classes to your own.

- Add your Input Mapping Context in the PlayerController's On Possess event

(not in the Pawn's BeginPlay) so runtime-joined players respond immediately.

- Bind the join/leave policy on the primary controller only; bind the

connection overlay per player.

Key integration notes:

- The backend is a GameInstance subsystem (ULocalMPPlayerSubsystem) — call its

functions and bind its events from your own controller, GameMode, or UI.

- Joining is driven by OnUnassignedDeviceInput → JoinPlayerFromDevice.

- Reconnect is automatic: a dropped controller's player is kept "waiting" and

refilled (FIFO) when any free device joins.

Important behavior:

- On UE 5.3–5.6 (Windows/XInput) the keyboard and first gamepad share input

device 0; the kit keeps device 0 on player 0. From 5.7 the first pad gets its

own id. See the included guide for options.

- Split screen requires PlayerStart actors and "Use Split Screen" enabled.
