AActor::GetReplicateMovementPropertyName

function Engine Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: static

Description

Returns the FName of the bReplicateMovement property on AActor, intended for use in lifetime property registration without requiring direct access to the private member.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is a helper for engine-internal and plugin code that needs to reference the bReplicateMovement property by name (e.g. in DOREPLIFETIME_CONDITION_NOTIFY macros or property paths) without coupling to the private field.
• The returned name is generated via GET_MEMBER_NAME_CHECKED so it is compile-time validated — it will break the build if the underlying property is renamed, which is intentional.
• Gameplay code that simply wants to toggle movement replication should set bReplicateMovement directly or use SetReplicateMovement, not this function.

const FName

Example

Use the property name in a replication condition C++

void AMyActor::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(TArray<FLifetimeProperty>& OutLifetimeProps) const
{
    Super::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(OutLifetimeProps);
    // Reference bReplicateMovement by name without direct access to the private member
    FName PropName = AActor::GetReplicateMovementPropertyName();
    // PropName is "bReplicateMovement"
}
