Pawn is the base class of all actors that can be possessed by players or AI. They are the physical representations of players and creatures in a level. see: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Gameplay/Framework/Pawn/

C++ Source:

  • Module: Engine

  • File: Pawn.h

Editor Properties: (see get_editor_property/set_editor_property)

  • actor_guid (Guid): [Read-Write] Actor Guid: The GUID for this actor.

    Note: Don’t use VisibleAnywhere here to avoid getting the CPF_Edit flag and get this property reset when resetting to defaults.

    See FActorDetails::AddActorCategory and EditorUtilities::CopySingleProperty for details.

  • net_use_owner_relevancy (bool): [Read-Write] Net Use Owner Relevancy: If actor has valid Owner, call Owner’s IsNetRelevantFor and GetNetPriority

  • on_actor_begin_overlap (ActorBeginOverlapSignature): [Read-Write] On Actor Begin Overlap: Called when another actor begins to overlap this actor, for example a player walking into a trigger.

  • replicate_movement (bool): [Read-Write] Replicate Movement: If true, replicate movement/location related properties. Actor must also be set to replicate. see: SetReplicates() see: https://docs.unrealengine.com/InteractiveExperiences/Networking/Actors

  • replicate_using_registered_sub_object_list (bool): [Read-Write] Replicate Using Registered Sub Object List: When true the replication system will only replicate the registered subobjects and the replicated actor components list When false the replication system will instead call the virtual ReplicateSubobjects() function where the subobjects and actor components need to be manually replicated.

  • replicated_movement (RepMovement): [Read-Write] Replicated Movement: Used for replication of our RootComponent’s position and velocity

  • replicates (bool): [Read-Write] Replicates: If true, this actor will replicate to remote machines see: SetReplicates()

  • update_overlaps_method_during_level_streaming (ActorUpdateOverlapsMethod): [Read-Write] Update Overlaps Method During Level Streaming: Condition for calling UpdateOverlaps() to initialize overlap state when loaded in during level streaming. If set to ‘UseConfigDefault’, the default specified in ini (displayed in ‘DefaultUpdateOverlapsMethodDuringLevelStreaming’) will be used. If overlaps are not initialized, this actor and attached components will not have an initial state of what objects are touching it, and overlap events may only come in once one of those objects update overlaps themselves (for example when moving). However if an object touching it does initialize state, both objects will know about their touching state with each other. This can be a potentially large performance savings during level loading and streaming, and is safe if the object and others initially overlapping it do not need the overlap state because they will not trigger overlap notifications.

    Note that if ‘bGenerateOverlapEventsDuringLevelStreaming’ is true, overlaps are always updated in this case, but that flag determines whether the Begin/End overlap events are triggered. see: bGenerateOverlapEventsDuringLevelStreaming, DefaultUpdateOverlapsMethodDuringLevelStreaming, GetUpdateOverlapsMethodDuringLevelStreaming()

Parameters:

val (float) – Amount to add to Roll. This value is multiplied by the PlayerController’s InputRollScale value.

add_controller_yaw_input(val) → None

Add input (affecting Yaw) to the Controller’s ControlRotation, if it is a local PlayerController. This value is multiplied by the PlayerController’s InputYawScale value. see: PlayerController::InputYawScale

add_movement_input(world_direction, scale_value=1.000000, force=False) → None

Add movement input along the given world direction vector (usually normalized) scaled by ‘ScaleValue’. If ScaleValue < 0, movement will be in the opposite direction. Base Pawn classes won’t automatically apply movement, it’s up to the user to do so in a Tick event. Subclasses such as Character and DefaultPawn automatically handle this input and move. see: GetPendingMovementInputVector(), GetLastMovementInputVector(), ConsumeMovementInputVector()

Parameters:

  • world_direction (Vector) – Direction in world space to apply input

  • scale_value (float) – Scale to apply to input. This can be used for analog input, ie a value of 0.5 applies half the normal value, while -1.0 would reverse the direction.

property can_affect_navigation_generation: bool

[Read-Only] Can Affect Navigation Generation: If set to false (default) given pawn instance will never affect navigation generation (but components could).

Get the rotation of the Controller, often the ‘view’ rotation of this Pawn.

Return type:

Rotator

Return type:

Controller

get_last_movement_input_vector() → Vector

Return the last input vector in world space that was processed by ConsumeMovementInputVector(), which is usually done by the Pawn or PawnMovementComponent. Any user that needs to know about the input that last affected movement should use this function. For example an animation update would want to use this, since by default the order of updates in a frame is: PlayerController (device input) -> MovementComponent -> Pawn -> Mesh (animations) see: AddMovementInput(), GetPendingMovementInputVector(), ConsumeMovementInputVector()

Returns:

The last input vector in world space that was processed by ConsumeMovementInputVector().

Is this pawn the ViewTarget of a local PlayerController? Helpful for determining whether the pawn is visible/critical for any VFX. NOTE: Technically there may be some cases where locally controlled pawns return false for this, such as if you are using a remote camera view of some sort. But generally it will be true for locally controlled pawns, and it will always be true for pawns that are being spectated in-game or in Replays.

Return type:

bool

is_move_input_ignored() → bool

Helper to see if move input is ignored. If our controller is a PlayerController, checks Controller->IsMoveInputIgnored().
