UAbilitySystemComponent::RefreshAbilityActorInfo
#include "AbilitySystemComponent.h"
Access: public
Description
Re-queries the avatar actor's movement component, mesh, anim instance, and player controller, updating the cached AbilityActorInfo without changing the owner or avatar actor references themselves.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Call this after late-spawned components are added to the avatar (e.g., a dynamically attached movement component), because InitAbilityActorInfo captures them at init time and won't see new additions automatically.
- • This does NOT update the OwnerActor or AvatarActor pointers — it only refreshes derived fields like MovementComponent and AnimInstance. To change actors entirely, use SetAvatarActor or InitAbilityActorInfo.
- • Safe to call at runtime, but avoid calling every frame — it iterates over the avatar's components internally. Call it in response to discrete events (possession, component add/remove).
