ACharacter::ShouldNotifyLanded

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Returns whether Landed() and related events should be broadcast for this landing. Used internally by CharacterMovementComponent to suppress duplicate notifications during network move replay.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is a networking-internal hook — CharacterMovement calls it to skip Landed() callbacks while replaying saved moves on the client. Overriding it carelessly can break client-side landing feedback (sounds, particles) during lag correction.
• The base implementation checks an internal flag set by CharacterMovement; always call Super::ShouldNotifyLanded(Hit) and combine with your own logic via &&.

Example

Suppressing landing events on a specific surface type C++

bool AMyCharacter::ShouldNotifyLanded(const FHitResult& Hit)
{
    // Suppress notification when landing on water volumes
    if (Hit.PhysMaterial.IsValid() && Hit.PhysMaterial->SurfaceType == SurfaceType_Water)
    {
        return false;
    }
    return Super::ShouldNotifyLanded(Hit);
}
