AActor::OnRep_ReplicatedMovement

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONvirtual

Description

Called on clients when the ReplicatedMovement struct is replicated. The default implementation calls PostNetReceiveLocationAndRotation to apply the new transform.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Not called for actors simulating physics (bReplicateMovement + physics simulation) — the engine applies physics state directly via PostNetReceivePhysicState.
• If you override this, call Super::OnRep_ReplicatedMovement() unless you are fully replacing the movement-apply logic, otherwise location/rotation will never update on clients.
• ReplicatedMovement replication is controlled by bReplicateMovement; if that is false, this callback never fires.

Example

React to a replicated movement change C++

void AMyActor::OnRep_ReplicatedMovement()
{
    Super::OnRep_ReplicatedMovement();
    // Snap a trail effect to the new location
    TrailComponent->SetWorldLocation(GetActorLocation());
}
