UKismetInputLibrary::PointerEvent_GetUserIndex

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the index of the local user (controller/player) that generated this pointer event, for local multiplayer or split-screen input routing.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Always 0 in single-player setups or when the platform doesn't distinguish per-user pointer input, so don't use it alone to detect multi-user configurations.
• Distinct from PointerEvent_GetPointerIndex, which identifies the finger/pointer rather than the owning user.
