UCharacterMovementComponent::JumpZVelocity

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYEditAnywhereBlueprintReadWrite

Description

The instantaneous vertical velocity applied to the character when a jump begins. Higher values produce higher jumps.

float JumpZVelocity

• This is an initial velocity impulse, not a force — jump height is determined by JumpZVelocity and GravityScale together. Changing either affects jump height.
• Default is 420 cm/s. Max jump height can be computed via UCharacterMovementComponent::GetMaxJumpHeight().
• Does not affect the jump-hold extension mechanic (bDontFallBelowJumpZVelocityDuringJump) — that's a separate flag.

Set jump height in the constructor C++

GetCharacterMovement()->JumpZVelocity = 600.f;

Introduced in: 4.0
