Why is Local Multiplayer so hard to build?

• ❌ The Input System Headache: Trying to map 4 controllers without spaghetti code.

• ❌ The "Frankenstein" Code: Copy-pasting random scripts that break when you add a second player.

• ❌ The Physics Struggle: Characters that float, jitter, or tunnel through walls.

This workshop gives you the Blueprint.

🛠 Your Project: "Tiny Rumble"

We don't just script a capsule. We build a polished 4-player arena brawler.
