UAbilitySystemComponent::OnRep_OwningActor

#include "AbilitySystemComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTION

Description

RepNotify called on clients when the owning or avatar actor reference replicates. Re-initializes the ASC's actor info so abilities can access the updated pawn.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Both OwnerActor and AvatarActor use this same RepNotify — a single function handles both UPROPERTY replication callbacks.
• Do not call this directly; it is invoked automatically by the replication system. Override it only if you need to react to owner/avatar actor changes on the client.

Signature

void OnRep_OwningActor()

Return Type

void

Example

Overriding to update a local cache when the avatar changes C++

void UMyAbilitySystemComponent::OnRep_OwningActor()
{
    Super::OnRep_OwningActor();
    // Refresh cached pawn reference after replication
    CachedPawn = Cast<AMyCharacter>(GetAvatarActor());
}
