Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns whether the current world is running as a dedicated server, meaning there is no local player and no rendering.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns false on a listen server, even though a listen server also hosts other players — use IsServer if you just need to know the machine is authoritative.
- • Useful for skipping client-only work such as sound, VFX, or UI updates that would otherwise waste CPU on a headless server.
