AActor::DisableInput

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallablevirtual

Description

Removes this actor from the input stack of the specified PlayerController, stopping it from receiving input events. Pass nullptr to remove from all controllers at once.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This does not destroy or clear the InputComponent — bindings are preserved and will become active again if EnableInput is called later. To fully reset input bindings, clear the InputComponent manually.
• Passing nullptr removes the actor from every PlayerController's stack simultaneously. Be careful when multiple local players are present: this affects all of them.
