AGameModeBase::ResetLevel

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/GameModeBase.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Resets the game state while remaining in the same map. Iterates all actors and calls `Reset()` on those for which `ShouldReset()` returns true.

Caveats & Gotchas

• GameMode and Controller actors are intentionally skipped — their state is not reset, so you must handle resetting player scores or match-specific data yourself.
• This does **not** reload the level or travel to a new map; dynamically spawned actors that were destroyed during gameplay will not be recreated automatically.
• Calling this on a client has no effect — it must be called server-side where the GameMode lives.

Return Type

void

Example

Reset the level after the match ends C++

void AMyGameMode::OnMatchEnded()
{
    // Reset all actors (respawn pickups, restore destructibles, etc.)
    ResetLevel();

    // Also reset scores manually since GameMode is skipped
    for (FConstPlayerControllerIterator It = GetWorld()->GetPlayerControllerIterator(); It; ++It)
    {
        APlayerController* PC = It->Get();
        if (PC && PC->PlayerState)
        {
            PC->PlayerState->SetScore(0.0f);
        }
    }
}
