AAIController::ShouldPostponePathUpdates

function AIModule Since 4.8

#include "AIController.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverrideAIMODULE_APIconst

Description

Returns true when the navigation system should defer recalculating this agent's path. AAIController returns true while the pawn is being moved by a root-motion or cinematic sequence.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is an INavAgentInterface override queried by the navigation system internally — you rarely need to call it directly. Only override it in a subclass if you have a custom condition under which path updates should be deferred.
• Returning true does not cancel the current move; it only prevents the nav system from issuing new path recalculations for dynamic obstacle avoidance during that window.
