AActor::SetReplicatedMovement

function Engine Since unknown

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public

Description

Replaces the actor's ReplicatedMovement struct wholesale. Used by the engine's movement replication path to inject an incoming network snapshot.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Calling this manually on the server does not automatically trigger a net update — the struct will only reach clients when the actor is next considered for replication according to NetUpdateFrequency.
• Does not fire OnRep_ReplicatedMovement on the machine that called this function, only on receiving clients — do not assume any corrections happen locally.
• Overwrites the entire struct including flags like bRepPhysics and bSimulatedPhysicSleep; ensure the incoming struct has all fields correctly populated before calling.
