APawn::ReceivePossessed
#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintImplementableEventBlueprintAuthorityOnly
Description
Blueprint event fired on the server/authority when a controller possesses this pawn. Implement in Blueprint to react to possession without subclassing in C++.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • BlueprintAuthorityOnly — this event will NOT execute on clients in a multiplayer game, only on the server or in standalone. If you need client-side logic on possession, use `ReceiveControllerChanged` instead.
- • This is called from inside `PossessedBy`; if you override `PossessedBy` in C++ and do not call `Super::PossessedBy()`, this event will never fire.
