APawn::GetRemoteViewPitch

function Engine Since 5.6

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: inlineconst

Description

Returns the replicated pitch of a remote client's view as a 16-bit compressed value. Use this on non-owning clients and servers to read where a remote player is looking vertically.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The returned value is a 16-bit integer mapping 360 degrees of pitch, *not* a float in degrees. Convert with `FRotator::DecompressAxisFromShort(GetRemoteViewPitch())` to get degrees.
• The old `uint8 RemoteViewPitch` property is deprecated in 5.6 in favour of the 16-bit `RemoteViewPitch16` accessed via this function — using the deprecated property gives lower angular precision.

Signature

inline uint16 GetRemoteViewPitch() const

Return Type

uint16

Example

Convert remote pitch to degrees for animation blending C++

float PitchDegrees = FRotator::DecompressAxisFromShort(MyPawn->GetRemoteViewPitch());
// Use PitchDegrees to drive an aim-offset animation blend space.
