ACharacter::RecalculateCrouchedEyeHeight

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: ENGINE_API

Description

Recomputes the camera/eye height offset for the crouched state from the CharacterMovementComponent settings. Called automatically during crouch/uncrouch transitions.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The result is stored in CrouchedEyeHeight, which is used by the camera manager to position the viewpoint. If you change CrouchedHalfHeight on the movement component at runtime, call this function afterward to keep the eye height in sync.
• This is not virtual and has no Blueprint exposure. Customizing crouch eye height requires either changing the movement component values before the recalculation or post-adjusting CrouchedEyeHeight manually.
