UCharacterMovementComponent::MaxSimulationTimeStep

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYEditAnywhereBlueprintReadWriteAdvancedDisplay

Description

Maximum time delta allowed for a single discrete simulation step in movement modes that break up large frame times, such as falling and walking.

• If MaxSimulationTimeStep * MaxSimulationIterations is too small for your minimum supported framerate, the final substep of a tick can exceed MaxSimulationTimeStep to finish the simulation — the two properties must be tuned together.
• Lowering this value improves accuracy for fast-moving characters or complex collision but costs performance since more substeps run per tick.
