UCharacterMovementComponent::SendClientAdjustment

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualoverride

Description

Server-side hook from INetworkPredictionInterface that dispatches a pending correction to the owning client if GetPredictionData_Server_Character()->bForceClientUpdate or ServerCheckClientError() indicate one is needed.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Part of the INetworkPredictionInterface server hook chain — it's called automatically from the movement replication pipeline, not something you typically call directly.
• Requires valid server prediction data; if HasPredictionData_Server() is false there is nothing to send, since the function relies on state tracked there.
• Only sends a correction when needed — calling it does not unconditionally push a correction to the client the way it might sound.

{
	if (HasPredictionData_Server() && GetPredictionData_Server_Character()->bForceClientUpdate)

		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Verbose, TEXT("Sending forced client adjustment for %s"), *GetNameSafe(CharacterOwner));
	}
	Super::SendClientAdjustment();
}
