UCharacterMovementComponent::IsWalking

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns true if the character is currently in a ground movement mode (Walking or NavWalking).

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is a thin wrapper around IsMovingOnGround() — it also returns true during MOVE_NavWalking, not just the literal MOVE_Walking mode.
• Also requires UpdatedComponent to be valid; if the component hasn't finished setup yet this returns false even if MovementMode is set to MOVE_Walking.

Example

Play footstep audio only while walking C++

void AMyCharacter::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
	Super::Tick(DeltaTime);

	if (GetCharacterMovement()->IsWalking() && GetVelocity().SizeSquared() > FMath::Square(10.f))
	{
		UpdateFootstepTimer(DeltaTime);
	}
}
