APawn::SetRemoteViewPitch

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public

Description

Stores the pawn's view pitch for replication to remote clients by compressing the degree value into a 16-bit integer. Called automatically by `APlayerController::UpdateRotation`; you rarely need to call this yourself.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This compresses 360 degrees into a `uint16`, so precision is approximately 0.0055 degrees per step — sufficient for animation but not for exact physics calculations.
• Only the owning server/controller should call this. Calling it on a client will set the local value but it will be overwritten by the next replication update from the server.
