UCharacterMovementComponent::RegisterComponentTickFunctions

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverride

Description

Registers or unregisters this component's tick functions (including the pre-physics and post-physics tick functions) with the actor's tick manager, overriding UActorComponent's base registration.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Beyond the normal TickComponent tick, this also handles PrePhysicsTickFunction and PostPhysicsTickFunction registration — a plain UActorComponent only manages a single tick function.
• Called automatically as part of component registration/unregistration (e.g. when the component is registered, or Activate/Deactivate toggles bAutoActivate); manually calling it out of sync with the component's registration state can leave dangling tick registrations.
• Overriding without calling Super::RegisterComponentTickFunctions() silently drops the pre/post-physics ticks, which breaks root motion and physics-interaction timing without an obvious error.

Example

{
    Super::RegisterComponentTickFunctions(bRegister);
    // Register/unregister any additional custom tick functions here
}
