UCharacterMovementComponent::ServerMove_PerformMovement

function Engine Since 4.26

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualENGINE_API

Description

Checks timestamps, derives a delta time, and forwards the move parameters to MoveAutonomous() on the server, optionally checking the final location against the client-reported location.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is the modern equivalent of the legacy 'ServerMove_Implementation' — the name changed but the role in the pipeline is the same.
• Called once per logical move by ServerMove_HandleMoveData(), so it can run up to three times per RPC for dual/old moves.
• Error checking against ClientLoc is optional and gated by ServerCheckClientError(); overriding this without preserving that call disables server-authoritative correction.
