APlayerState::SetScore

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/PlayerState.h"

Access: public Specifiers: ENGINE_API

Description

Sets the player's score and triggers replication to all clients via OnRep_Score.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Must be called on the server (authority) — calling from a client has no networked effect and the value will be overwritten on the next replication update.
• Does not clamp or validate the value; negative scores are valid and it is the game's responsibility to enforce any minimum/maximum constraints.
