APawn::GetPlatformUserId

function Engine Blueprint Since 5.1

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallableBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the platform user ID of the local PlayerController controlling this pawn. Returns an invalid ID if not controlled by a local player.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns an invalid `FPlatformUserId` for AI-controlled pawns and for remote player pawns on a server — always call `IsValid()` on the result before using it.
• This is a thin wrapper over the controlling PlayerController's platform user; it does not cache the value, so the cost is a controller pointer dereference on every call.
