UCharacterMovementComponent::PendingLaunchVelocity

property Engine Since unknown

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTY()

Description

Temporarily holds the velocity requested by LaunchCharacter() until it's applied at the end of the current movement update.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Set by LaunchCharacter() rather than something you should assign to directly — call that function instead so the movement mode transitions (e.g. out of walking) happen correctly.
• Only holds a value briefly between the LaunchCharacter() call and the next movement update consuming it; don't rely on it persisting or reflecting an in-progress launch.

Signature

FVector PendingLaunchVelocity

Example

Preferred way to launch a character C++

// Don't set PendingLaunchVelocity directly -- use the Character API instead:
GetCharacterOwner()->LaunchCharacter(FVector(0.f, 0.f, 900.f), false, true);
// Internally this sets CharacterMovementComponent->PendingLaunchVelocity for consumption
// on the next movement update.
