AGameStateBase::SeamlessTravelTransitionCheckpoint

function Engine Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/GameStateBase.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Called twice during a seamless travel: once when loading the transition map and once when loading the destination map. Use it to save or restore game state that must survive the travel.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is called *before* actors are destroyed for the transition — data you want to preserve must be copied out here, not in `EndPlay`.
• The function fires on the server only; clients do not have a game state during transition and receive a fresh one on the destination map. Client-side persistence requires a different mechanism (e.g. GameInstance).

        // Arriving at destination — restore saved scores
        RestorePlayerScores();
    }
}
