AGameModeBase::K2_OnChangeName
#include "GameFramework/GameModeBase.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintImplementableEvent
Description
Blueprint event fired by ChangeName after a player's name has been updated. Override this in a Blueprint GameMode subclass to react to name changes, such as sending a chat notification or logging the event.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This is a BlueprintImplementableEvent — it has no C++ base implementation. If you override it in a Blueprint subclass of GameMode, it will fire; otherwise it does nothing.
- • To override in C++ instead, override ChangeName() directly and add your logic before or after the Super call rather than implementing K2_OnChangeName.
- • Fires server-side only — GameMode does not exist on clients, so this event will never fire on a connected client machine.
