APawn::UnPossessed

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Called on the server (or in standalone) when the current controller stops possessing this pawn. Override to clean up server-side state that was set up in `PossessedBy`.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only called server-side. `GetController()` returns the old (departing) controller at the time this is called — it is cleared *after* this function returns.
• Always call `Super::UnPossessed()` or the input component will not be properly destroyed, leaving stale input bindings.

Signature

Return Type

void

Example

Remove abilities on unpossession C++

void AMyPawn::UnPossessed()
{
	if (AbilitySystemComponent)
	{
		AbilitySystemComponent->ClearAllAbilities();
	}
	Super::UnPossessed();
}
