APawn::GetPlayerStateObjPtr
#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: const
Description
Returns the PlayerState as a TObjectPtr, exposing the raw smart-pointer representation used internally. Prefer GetPlayerState() in most gameplay code; this overload is intended for engine systems that need the TObjectPtr directly.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • TObjectPtr is implicitly convertible to a raw pointer in non-editor builds, but in editor builds it performs access tracking. Storing the returned TObjectPtr in a local variable will capture the tracked reference — use GetPlayerState() for gameplay logic to avoid unintended tracking overhead.
- • This method exists primarily to support reflection and serialization tooling. There is almost no gameplay scenario where you need this over GetPlayerState().
