UCharacterMovementComponent::ResetPredictionData_Server

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverrideENGINE_API

Description

Discards the server-side prediction data (FNetworkPredictionData_Server_Character), forcing it to be reallocated on next use. Only meaningful when this component's owner has authority.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Calling this on a client has no effect since server prediction data is only allocated on the authority.
• Discards accumulated server move history, so any in-flight client moves that were being tracked for correction/error-checking are lost.
• Rarely needs to be called directly from game code; it exists mainly as a hook for custom movement components that manage their own server data lifecycle.
