Chat Groups Guilds

Building a multiplayer game requires communication tools that go beyond simple global messaging. Teams need private channels, leadership hierarchies, and the ability to organize players into persistent factions. Setting up these systems from scratch involves complex networking logic for replication, invite handling, and role management.

Chat Groups Guilds is a complete social system designed to be dropped into an Unreal Engine project to handle these exact requirements. It functions as a Blueprint- and UMG-based (Unreal Motion Graphics) solution, bringing text chat, player groups, and full guild mechanics into a unified interface. The package is explicitly compatible with Survival Game Kit V2, making it a direct fit for creators already working within that framework.

Text Chat and Message Types in Multiplayer

The communication core relies on a multiplayer-supported text chat system that categorizes messages by delivery scope. Players can use Whisper for direct private messaging, Say for localized communication, and Yell for wider area shouts. Global messaging is available for server-wide announcements.

Group- and guild-level chat also integrates directly with the social framework. Players can send messages specifically to their Group or Guild, ensuring that faction-specific conversations remain isolated from public channels. To manage communication overflow, the system includes social settings that allow players to mute message sounds entirely.

Groups and Guild Mechanics with Role Permissions

Beyond basic messaging, the asset allows players to form temporary Groups and persistent Guilds. Group management includes options to Promote, Kick, and Invite players, giving squad leaders basic organizational tools for team gameplay.

Guilds operate with a deeper administrative structure. Guild leaders can Rename or Delete their guild, and set a Starting Role for new members. The system allows for the creation, removal, and renaming of specific Guild Roles. Each role can be assigned fine control over permissions, letting guild leaders dictate exactly who can manage the guild, invite others, or access specific guild functions.

Guild Settings and Custom Nameplates

Identity is handled through customizable nameplates. The system allows nameplates to be added to any Actor in the game world, providing a way to display player names, titles, or roles dynamically. Players also have access to personal social settings, including the option to replace their displayed player name or block incoming invites entirely.

Saving Social Data and Chat Commands

Retention of social data is handled by an integrated Save System. This system records the state of Guilds and Groups, ensuring that factions persist across play sessions. It also saves individual player Social Settings, as well as Chat Layout and Chat Settings preferences. This prevents players from having to reconfigure their chat windows or guild structures every time they log in.

To speed up interaction, the package includes a Chat Commands system. Players can type commands directly into the chat box to Quit the game or Block and Unblock other players. The command framework is built to be easily expandable, allowing developers to script new commands as needed.

Adding the System to a Project Workflow

Integration is centered around ease of use. The package includes an All Players UI panel, providing a clean and accessible interface for managing social interactions. The UI is built with customizable widgets, allowing developers to reskin the interface to match their specific art style.

The underlying Blueprints are fully commented and documented, guiding developers through the implementation process. Because the system handles networking complexity internally—managing replicated data across zones and areas—it serves as a functional networking layer for communication.

For developers working on multiplayer or online survival projects, particularly those using Survival Game Kit V2, this system fills the communication and organization gap. The included patch notes, showcase video, and documentation provide a starting point for implementation, mapping out how chat, groups, and guilds interact within the existing game framework.
