APawn::ReceiveUnpossessed

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintImplementableEventBlueprintAuthorityOnly

Description

Blueprint event fired on the server/authority when a controller stops possessing this pawn. Implement in Blueprint for authority-side cleanup on unpossession.

Caveats & Gotchas

• BlueprintAuthorityOnly — does not execute on clients. Use `ReceiveControllerChanged` if you need both server and owning-client notification.
• Called from inside `UnPossessed`; if `Super::UnPossessed()` is not called in a C++ override, this event will not fire.
