ACharacter::ServerMovePacked_Implementation

function Engine Since 4.20

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public

Description

Server-side implementation body for the ServerMovePacked RPC. Deserializes the packed bits and forwards the move data to UCharacterMovementComponent for processing and validation.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The actual move processing happens inside UCharacterMovementComponent::ServerMovePacked_Implementation — ACharacter just passes the bits through. Override in UCharacterMovementComponent, not here, for custom move processing.
• Overriding this on ACharacter without calling Super will silently drop all client moves and produce a completely stationary character from the server's perspective.

Example

Pass-through pattern C++

// ACharacter::ServerMovePacked_Implementation just delegates:
void ACharacter::ServerMovePacked_Implementation(const FCharacterServerMovePackedBits& PackedBits)
{
    // Calls CharacterMovement->ServerMovePacked_Implementation internally
}
