UCharacterMovementComponent::CanStepUp

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Returns whether the character is currently allowed to step up onto the actor or component recorded in the given hit result.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns false unconditionally while MovementMode is MOVE_Falling, even if the hit component would otherwise allow stepping up.
• Delegates to UPrimitiveComponent::CanCharacterStepUp() and AActor::CanBeBaseForCharacter() — overriding this without calling those checks can let characters step onto surfaces explicitly flagged as non-steppable.

Signature
