ACharacter::ResetJumpState

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualENGINE_API

Description

Marks the character as no longer attempting to jump, clearing jump-related state flags and timers. Called automatically when the character lands or when jump input is explicitly stopped.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This does not immediately stop upward velocity — it only clears the intent flags. The character will continue traveling upward from existing velocity until gravity takes effect.
• If you override this, call Super::ResetJumpState() to ensure JumpKeyHoldTime and JumpForceTimeRemaining are properly zeroed out, otherwise multi-jump logic based on those values will break.

void

Example

Force-cancel a jump mid-air C++

// Cancel jump state when the character takes damage mid-air
void AMyCharacter::TakeDamage_Implementation(float Damage)
{
    Super::TakeDamage(Damage);
    if (GetCharacterMovement()->IsFalling())
    {
        ResetJumpState();
    }
}
