AActor::PostNetReceivePhysicState
#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: virtualENGINE_API
Description
Called on simulated proxies when physics state (location, rotation, velocity, and angular velocity) is received from ReplicatedMovement. Supersedes PostNetReceiveLocationAndRotation and PostNetReceiveVelocity for physics-simulated actors.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Only called when bRepPhysics is true on the actor's ReplicatedMovement struct. If you enable physics replication, ensure this function correctly applies state to avoid visual pops.
- • The default implementation calls SyncReplicatedPhysicsSimulation, which tries to apply state smoothly. Overriding without calling Super bypasses this smoothing entirely.
- • Physics state replication introduces a full frame of latency — the client simulates locally and receives corrections asynchronously. Override this to implement custom correction blending if the default correction is too jarring.
