AAIController::GetPerceptionComponent

function AIModule Since 4.0

#include "AIController.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverride

Description

Returns the UAIPerceptionComponent attached to this controller, satisfying the IAIPerceptionListenerInterface contract. Internally delegates to GetAIPerceptionComponent().

Caveats & Gotchas

• From C++, prefer calling GetAIPerceptionComponent() directly — it is a UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure) non-virtual inline and avoids the vtable dispatch overhead. GetPerceptionComponent() exists to satisfy the interface contract.
• Returns null if no perception component was added during construction. UAIPerceptionComponent is not created automatically by the base AAIController — you must add it in your subclass constructor or via SetPerceptionComponent.

Signature

virtual UAIPerceptionComponent* GetPerceptionComponent() override

Return Type

UAIPerceptionComponent*

Example

Access perception via the interface pointer C++

IAIPerceptionListenerInterface* Listener = Cast<IAIPerceptionListenerInterface>(MyController);
if (Listener)
{
	UAIPerceptionComponent* PC = Listener->GetPerceptionComponent();
	// Equivalent to MyController->PerceptionComponent
}
