UBTTaskNode::ShouldIgnoreRestartSelf

function AIModule Since 4.0

#include "BehaviorTree/BTTaskNode.h"

Access: public Specifiers: constinline

Description

Returns whether a pending task search should be discarded if it re-selects this same task while it is already running. Backed by the bIgnoreRestartSelf property.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Controlled by the editor-exposed bIgnoreRestartSelf property (Category=Task) — there's no separate setter, set the property directly or via a UPROPERTY default.
• Useful for tasks like 'move to location' where a decorator re-evaluation shouldn't restart an already-in-progress move to the same target.
• Defined inline in the header, so it's trivial to inline but still requires including BTTaskNode.h rather than a forward declaration.

Signature

Return Type

bool

Example

Check before restarting a task C++
