AActor::GetActorEnableCollision

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns whether collision is currently enabled for the whole actor. Reflects the state set by SetActorEnableCollision(), not individual component settings.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This returns the actor-level collision flag only — individual components can still have collision disabled independently. An actor with GetActorEnableCollision()==true may still have components with no collision.
• Enabling actor collision does not restore per-component collision responses that were already disabled before the actor-level flag was set.

Signature

bool GetActorEnableCollision() const

Return Type

bool

Examples

Re-enable collision on BeginPlay if it was previously disabled Blueprint

Check before performing collision-dependent logic C++

if (MyActor->GetActorEnableCollision())
{
    // Safe to rely on blocking hits from this actor
    FHitResult Hit;
    MyActor->ActorLineTraceSingle(Hit, Start, End, ECC_Visibility, Params);
}
