UCharacterMovementComponent::FallingLateralFriction

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYEditAnywhereBlueprintReadWrite

Description

Friction applied to horizontal movement while falling, slowing lateral velocity over time.

• Default is 0 in stock UE, so characters keep their lateral speed indefinitely while airborne unless you set this or BrakingDecelerationFalling.
• If bUseSeparateBrakingFriction is false, this value also doubles as the braking friction used when Acceleration is zero, not just general air movement drag.

float FallingLateralFriction

Add drag to airborne lateral movement C++

GetCharacterMovement()->FallingLateralFriction = 1.0f;

Introduced in: 4.0
