AActor::OnEndPlay

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYBlueprintAssignable

Description

Delegate broadcast whenever this actor's play session ends for any reason — explicit destruction, level unload, game end, or streaming out. More reliable than OnDestroyed for general cleanup.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The EEndPlayReason::Type parameter tells you why EndPlay occurred. Check it to distinguish between destruction (Destroyed), level transition (LevelTransition), and application exit (Quit) if your cleanup logic differs.
• OnEndPlay fires before OnDestroyed. If you bind to both, OnEndPlay will run first.
