UKismetSystemLibrary::IsServer
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns whether the world this object belongs to is running as the host — true on a listen server, dedicated server, or standalone game.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns true in standalone (non-networked) games as well as on real servers, since standalone is authoritative over itself — use AActor::HasAuthority for authority checks on a specific actor instead.
- • In the editor with Play-In-Editor multiplayer, each PIE instance resolves this independently based on its own world's net mode.
