AGameStateBase::ReceivedSpectatorClass

function Engine Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/GameStateBase.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Called when the `SpectatorClass` property becomes valid — on the server during init and on clients after replication. Override to react to the spectator pawn class being established.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This fires on the server during `PostInitializeComponents` before any clients connect; clients receive it later via `OnRep_SpectatorClass`. Code placed here may execute at very different times depending on net mode.
• Do not cache `SpectatorClass` before this fires — the value is transient and may be invalid until this callback runs.
