Example Code For Unreal Test Beacon Implemtation
Tested on UE4.24.3

UE4 Plugin familiarity assumed
- Create a project and clone this repository into Plugins folder (You may need to create the Plugins folder)
- Append to DefaultEngine.ini file:

ListenPort=7787
BeaconConnectionInitialTimeout=48.0
BeaconConnectionTimeout=49.0
[/Script/Engine.Engine]
!NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="BeaconNetDriver",DriverClassName="/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")
[/Script/TestBeacon.TestBeacon]
!NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="BeaconNetDriver",DriverClassName="/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")
- Go to TestBeacon C++ Classes -> TestBeacon -> Public in the Content Browser
- Drag the TestBeaconActor onto the level
- Set the "Number of Players" to 2 (Default multiplayer options should be fine)
- Play the level in the editor
The Output Log will show the Ping / Pong loop with the LogBeacon tag.
