ACharacter::RootMotionDebugClientPrintOnScreen

function Engine Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: ENGINE_APIReliableClient

Description

Reliable Client RPC used by the root motion debugging system to display a message on the client's screen. Used internally when root motion debug visualization is enabled.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is a reliable RPC — using it frequently for high-frequency debug output can saturate the reliable channel. The underlying debug system should gate calls with a CVar.
• The actual rendering is in RootMotionDebugClientPrintOnScreen_Implementation(). Override the _Implementation if you need custom debug output behavior, not this stub.
