UCharacterMovementComponent::ForceReplicationUpdate
#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: virtual
Description
Forces a client movement update by making the server behave as though the client hasn't sent an update in a long time, so the next replication check is guaranteed to fire.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Server-only in effect — it manipulates server-side replication timers, so calling it on a client does nothing useful.
- • This forces the check to run, it does not guarantee a correction is sent; ServerCheckClientError() still decides whether the client's position is actually out of tolerance.
- • Useful right after teleports or forced position changes where you need clients to reconcile immediately instead of waiting for the normal replication cadence.
