AActor::ReceiveActorOnReleased

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintImplementableEvent

Description

Blueprint implementable event called when a mouse button is released over this actor while click events are enabled on the player controller.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Override `NotifyActorOnReleased()` in C++, not this function — this is the Blueprint thunk generated by the UFUNCTION macro.
• If the cursor moves off the actor between press and release, only OnClicked fires and OnReleased does not. Use APlayerController's input bindings for drag/release patterns.
