UActorComponent::ReceiveEndPlay
#include "Components/ActorComponent.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintImplementableEvent
Description
Blueprint implementable event fired when the component ends play, generally via the actor being destroyed or the level being unloaded.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Like ReceiveBeginPlay, this is a BlueprintImplementableEvent with no default C++ body. C++ subclasses must override EndPlay() (and call Super) rather than ReceiveEndPlay to add teardown logic.
- • The EndPlayReason parameter is passed through to Blueprint — use it to distinguish between a deliberate actor destruction versus a PIE session ending, since cleanup requirements often differ.
