UCharacterMovementComponent::GetLastUpdateLocation

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallableconst

Description

Returns the UpdatedComponent's world location as recorded at the end of the most recent movement update.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Reflects the position after the last completed movement tick, not the component's live position if something moved it since (a physics push, teleport, or attachment change).
• Commonly read in networked prediction code to compare against replicated values without triggering another movement pass.

Signature

FVector

Example

Compare against the component's current location C++

const FVector LastLoc = GetCharacterMovement()->GetLastUpdateLocation();
