UKismetInputLibrary::InputEvent_IsRightAltDown

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if specifically the right Alt key was held down when this input event occurred.

Caveats & Gotchas

• On many European keyboard layouts, right Alt is remapped by the OS as AltGr to produce special characters, which can prevent this from ever registering true depending on the OS input pipeline.
• Reflects modifier state at the moment the event fired, not a live poll of current key state.
