ACharacter::StopJumping

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Clears the jump input flag (`bPressedJump`) and resets the hold timer so the Character stops receiving jump Z-velocity on the next movement update. Bind this to a button-release event when using hold-to-jump.

Caveats & Gotchas

• If JumpMaxHoldTime is zero (the default), the jump velocity is applied as a single impulse and StopJumping() has no ongoing effect — you only need it when using hold-to-jump mechanics.
• StopJumping does not immediately remove upward velocity; it stops future upward force from being added. Gravity will naturally reduce the velocity over subsequent ticks.

{
    Super::SetupPlayerInputComponent(PlayerInputComponent);
    PlayerInputComponent->BindAction("Jump", IE_Pressed,  this, &ACharacter::Jump);
    PlayerInputComponent->BindAction("Jump", IE_Released, this, &ACharacter::StopJumping);
}
