AGameModeBase::K2_OnRestartPlayer

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/GameModeBase.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintImplementableEvent

Description

Blueprint event fired at the end of RestartPlayer and RestartPlayerAtPlayerStart after the pawn has been successfully spawned and possessed. Use this to trigger post-spawn game logic in Blueprint GameMode subclasses.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Fires only after a successful spawn — if pawn spawning fails (e.g., blocked by geometry), K2_OnRestartPlayer is not called. Use FailedToRestartPlayer (C++ override) to handle that case.
• The NewPlayer's pawn is already possessed by the time this fires, so GetPawn() on NewPlayer will return the newly spawned pawn.
• This is a BlueprintImplementableEvent with no C++ base body. If you want equivalent functionality in C++ only, override FinishRestartPlayer instead.
