AActor::NotifyActorEndOverlap

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualENGINE_API

Description

Called when all overlapping component pairs between this actor and another actor have separated. Override to respond to actor-level overlap end events in C++.

Caveats & Gotchas

• End overlap is not guaranteed to fire if the overlapping actor is destroyed while still overlapping — the actor may be garbage collected before the separation event is processed.
• Like NotifyActorBeginOverlap, both components need bGenerateOverlapEvents = true. Disabling this flag mid-overlap will prevent the end event from being issued.
• When an actor is being torn down (EndPlay), pending end overlap notifications may be flushed in bulk. Do not rely on the order of end overlap calls relative to EndPlay.
