AActor::HasActivePawnControlCameraComponent

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconst

Description

Returns true if this actor owns an active camera component that is set to use pawn control rotation (bUsePawnControlRotation=true), indicating an HMD-locked or controller-yawed camera setup.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This checks for bUsePawnControlRotation on the UCameraComponent, not on a USpringArmComponent. A spring arm set to use pawn control rotation does not satisfy this test if the camera itself has bUsePawnControlRotation=false.
• The player controller uses this to decide whether to replicate the control rotation to the camera — returning true from a custom override can affect remote-view smoothness on multiplayer games.
