APawn::GetHumanReadableName
#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: virtualoverride
Description
Returns a debug-friendly name for this pawn. Overrides AActor::GetHumanReadableName() to include the controller's name if one is present.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • The result includes the controller's GetName() appended to the actor name, which means the string changes when possession changes — do not store it as a stable identifier.
- • This is primarily used by debug tools and DisplayDebug(); it is not localised and should not be shown directly to players.
