APawn::AddControllerRollInput

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Adds roll rotation to the owning PlayerController's ControlRotation. Used for vehicles, aircraft, or other pawns that require barrel-roll or banking input.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Roll is not applied by default to standard humanoid characters (ACharacter ignores controller roll for the capsule). You must explicitly use the controller's roll value in your rotation logic or camera setup.
• Like pitch and yaw inputs, this only affects local PlayerControllers and is a no-op for AI or remote controllers.
