APlayerState::PostInitializeComponents

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/PlayerState.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverride

Description

Called after all components have been initialized. APlayerState uses this to register itself with the GameState's player array and to set initial values such as StartTime.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Always call Super::PostInitializeComponents() when overriding. The base implementation registers the PlayerState with GameState::PlayerArray, which is required for the player to appear in scoreboard queries and other GameState lookups.
• This runs before replication has begun on listen servers. If your override reads replicated data from other actors, it may be stale at this point.
• PostInitializeComponents is called for every spawned PlayerState, including the inactive copies preserved across seamless travel. Check IsInactive() if your logic should only run for active players.

	}
}
