Declared Teams & Colors

1. A display asset per team

Content Browser → right-click → Data Asset → CrimsonTeamDisplayAsset (one per team). Fill ColorParameters (e.g. TeamColor), ScalarParameters, TextureParameters, and TeamShortName. These names match the parameters on your team materials.

2. Declare the teams on the Game State

Add a Crimson Team Creation Component to your Game State and fill Teams To Create (tag → display asset). On BeginPlay (server) it spawns the replicated ACrimsonTeamPublicInfo / PrivateInfo actors and registers them with the subsystem.

3. Assign players to teams

Players are auto-assigned on join. Override ServerChooseTeamForPlayer to control how; the default picks the least-populated team.

void UMyTeamCreation::ServerChooseTeamForPlayer_Implementation(APlayerState* PS)
{
    if (UCrimsonTeamAgentComponent* Team = PS->FindComponentByClass<UCrimsonTeamAgentComponent>())
    {
        Team->JoinTeam(/* your choice */ Tag_Team_Red);
    }
}

4. Apply the colors

Resolve an agent's display asset and apply it to materials / Niagara, or let an async observer keep UI in sync.

// Push team colors onto every mesh / Niagara on an actor:
if (UCrimsonTeamDisplayAsset* DA = UCrimsonTeamStatics::GetTeamDisplayAssetForAgent(Pawn))
{
    DA->ApplyToActor(Pawn, /*bIncludeChildActors*/ true);
}
// Safe per-parameter read with a fallback:
const FLinearColor C = UCrimsonTeamStatics::GetTeamColorWithFallback(DA, TEXT("TeamColor"), FLinearColor::White);
