AGameModeBase::PlayerControllerClass

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.14
#include "GameFramework/GameModeBase.h"
Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYEditAnywhereNoClearBlueprintReadOnly

Description

The APlayerController subclass spawned for every player who joins. Set this in class defaults to give players access to custom input bindings and game-specific controller logic.

Caveats & Gotchas

  • • Marked NoClear — cannot be set to None. A PlayerController is always required.
  • • Changing this during play has no effect on existing players; it only applies to newly joining players. For seamless travel scenarios, also check SpawnPlayerController and GetPlayerControllerClassToSpawnForSeamlessTravel.
