UCharacterMovementComponent::NotifyBumpedPawn

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverride

Description

Called when this character bumps into another pawn during movement, and resets the RVO avoidance lock timer so the two pawns don't stay stuck avoiding each other.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Draws a debug line for a couple of seconds in non-shipping/test builds when avoidance debug drawing is enabled for this component's AvoidanceUID.
• Only affects AvoidanceLockTimer — it does not itself apply any physical response to the bump (no impulse, no push); that's handled elsewhere in collision resolution.
