AActor::GetRolePropertyName

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: static

Description

Returns the FName of the `Role` UPROPERTY (the actor's local net role), allowing reflection-based systems to reference the property without hard-coded strings.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Like all `Get*PropertyName` helpers in AActor, this is primarily used by the networking and editor subsystems. Gameplay code should access the role via `GetLocalRole()` rather than going through reflection.
• The returned FName maps to the private `Role` member. Direct access to `Role` from subclasses is intentionally discouraged; use `GetLocalRole()` and `SetRole()` instead.

Signature

Return Type

const FName

Example

Find Role property via reflection C++

FProperty* RoleProp = AActor::StaticClass()->FindPropertyByName(
    AActor::GetRolePropertyName()
);
check(RoleProp);
