ACharacter::ClearJumpInput

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualENGINE_API

Description

Called each frame after CheckJumpInput to update JumpKeyHoldTime and clear bPressedJump once the hold window expires. Ends the active jump-force phase when JumpMaxHoldTime is exceeded.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is the function that clears bPressedJump after it has been processed. If you override CheckJumpInput and consume bPressedJump early, ClearJumpInput will still run and may behave unexpectedly — always pair overrides of both functions carefully.
• ClearJumpInput increments JumpKeyHoldTime each frame while the jump key is held. If StopJumping() is never called, this can exceed JumpMaxHoldTime and keep the character receiving upward velocity indefinitely.

Example

Limit jump hold time dynamically based on power-up state C++

void AMyCharacter::ClearJumpInput(float DeltaTime)
{
    // Temporarily boost hold time during a power-up
    float OldHoldTime = JumpMaxHoldTime;
    if (bJumpBoostActive)
    {
        JumpMaxHoldTime *= 2.0f;
    }
    Super::ClearJumpInput(DeltaTime);
    JumpMaxHoldTime = OldHoldTime;
}
