UCharacterMovementComponent::GetLastUpdateVelocity

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallableconst

Description

Returns the character's velocity as recorded at the end of the most recent movement update.

• May differ from the live Velocity property if something modified velocity after the last movement tick completed (e.g. an impulse applied mid-frame).
• Commonly read in animation blueprints or Tick() to drive locomotion blending without forcing the component to recompute velocity.
