ACharacter::CanJump

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: constUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns true if the Character is currently allowed to jump. The default check requires the Character to be on the ground (or still within the hold window of an active jump), not crouching against a low ceiling, and that `CanEverJump()` returns true.

Caveats & Gotchas

• CanJump() is non-virtual — to customise jump conditions override the protected `CanJumpInternal_Implementation()` or implement the BlueprintNativeEvent `CanJump` in a Blueprint subclass.
• Multi-jump support is handled inside CanJumpInternal via JumpCurrentCount vs JumpMaxCount — increment JumpMaxCount to allow double/triple jumps; do not duplicate that logic in your own override.
