UActorComponent::NeedsLoadForServer
#include "Components/ActorComponent.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: virtualoverride
Description
Returns whether this component needs to be loaded on dedicated servers. Mirrors NeedsLoadForClient but for the server context.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Components with bIsEditorOnly set will return false here just as on the client, preventing them from existing on a dedicated server.
- • Overriding this without calling Super can break the engine's internal filtering of objects not relevant to a server, potentially wasting memory and CPU on the server.
