UAbilitySystemComponent::CallReplicatedEventDelegateIfSet

#include "AbilitySystemComponent.h"

Access: public

Description

Fires the delegate for a specific Generic Replicated Event if that event has already been sent, returning true if it fired. Use this on the receiving end (typically the server) to handle events that may arrive before or after local setup.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns false and does nothing if the event has not yet been received — you must manually register via CallOrAddReplicatedDelegate if you need guaranteed delivery.
• Each Generic Replicated Event type occupies a separate slot per ability/prediction-key pair; calling this for the wrong EventType will silently return false.
