UCharacterMovementComponent::RequestedVelocity

property Engine Since unknown

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTY(Transient)

Description

Velocity requested by path following (e.g. an AI move task) for the current move, set via RequestDirectMove().

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only meaningful when bHasRequestedVelocity is true — read that flag before trusting the value, since it isn't cleared to zero when unused.
• This is the requested value for the current update; once consumed it's copied into LastUpdateRequestedVelocity rather than mutated in place.
• Setting this directly instead of calling RequestDirectMove() won't set bHasRequestedVelocity, so the movement component will ignore it.

Signature

FVector RequestedVelocity

Example

Reading a pending path-following request C++

UCharacterMovementComponent* Movement = GetCharacterMovement();
if (Movement->bHasRequestedVelocity)
{
    const FVector Requested = Movement->RequestedVelocity;
    // React to the AI's requested move direction/speed
}
