APawn::AddControllerPitchInput

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Adds pitch rotation to the owning PlayerController's ControlRotation. Only works when possessed by a local PlayerController — has no effect on AI-controlled pawns.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The value is scaled by PlayerController::InputPitchScale (default -1.0), which inverts pitch by default so that moving the mouse up tilts the camera up. Passing 1.0f will pitch down in default settings.
• This function does nothing if the controller is not a local PlayerController. AI controllers and remote player controllers both result in a no-op, so it is safe to call unconditionally.
