APlayerState::OnReactivated

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/PlayerState.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualENGINE_API

Description

Called on the server when a previously disconnected player reconnects and their inactive PlayerState is restored to the active players array.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only called if the PlayerState was preserved in InactivePlayerArray during disconnection — if OnDeactivated destroyed it (the default), this method is never reached.
• At the point this is called the PlayerState is not yet assigned to a controller; do not access GetController() or GetPawn() until after the controller setup completes.

    bHasLoadedInventory = false;
    ReconnectTimestamp = GetWorld()->GetTimeSeconds();
}
