ACharacter::ServerMovePacked_Validate
#include "GameFramework/Character.h"
Access: public
Description
Validation function for the ServerMovePacked RPC. Returns true if the incoming data is acceptable; returning false kicks the client from the session.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • The default implementation returns true unconditionally. Override this to add anti-cheat checks against the packed data, but keep validation lightweight — it runs every movement update.
- • Returning false from a _Validate function does not crash the server; it invokes UNetDriver's anti-cheat handler and disconnects the client.
