AGameModeBase::ProcessServerTravel

function Engine Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/GameModeBase.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Initiates a server-side level transition that brings all connected clients to the new map. Calls CanServerTravel() first and triggers either a hard or seamless travel depending on the GameMode's bUseSeamlessTravel setting.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only call this on the server (HasAuthority()). Calling it on a client is a no-op at best and can cause assertion failures at worst.
• If bUseSeamlessTravel is true, clients stay connected and actors listed in GetSeamlessTravelActorList() persist into the new level. With hard travel, all clients disconnect and reconnect — choose carefully, as hard travel resets all session state.
