APawn::ReceiveCon trollerChanged
#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintImplementableEvent
Description
Blueprint event called after the pawn's controller changes, on both the server and owning client. Fired at the same time as the `ReceiveControllerChangedDelegate`.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Unlike `ReceivePossessed`/`ReceiveUnpossessed`, this event fires on the owning client as well as the server, making it the right choice for client-side reactions to controller changes.
- • Both parameters can be null — on first possession `OldController` is null; on final unpossession `NewController` is null. Always null-check before dereferencing.
