ACharacter::Landed

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Called by CharacterMovementComponent when the character lands after being airborne. Override this to react to landing in C++; it also fires the OnLanded Blueprint event and the LandedDelegate multicast.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The movement mode is still EMovementMode::MOVE_Falling when this is called — if you need to react after the mode switches to Walking, use OnMovementModeChanged() instead.
• Current Velocity at the time of the call reflects the falling velocity at impact, not the post-landing velocity. Cache it here if you need it for fall-damage calculations.
• Always call Super::Landed(Hit) in overrides; skipping it prevents OnLanded Blueprint event and LandedDelegate from broadcasting.

Signature

Example

Applying fall damage based on landing speed C++

void AMyCharacter::Landed(const FHitResult& Hit)
{
    Super::Landed(Hit);
    float FallSpeed = FMath::Abs(GetVelocity().Z);
    if (FallSpeed > FatalFallSpeed)
    {
        TakeDamage(FallSpeed * FallDamageMultiplier, FDamageEvent(), nullptr, nullptr);
    }
}
