AActor::GetActorTickInterval

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns the current minimum tick interval (in seconds) of this actor's primary tick function. A return value of 0 means the actor ticks every frame.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The returned value is the configured minimum interval, not the actual time since the last tick. Use your own timer if you need elapsed time since last tick.
• Does not reflect component tick intervals — each component maintains its own interval.

        Interval <= 0.f ? TEXT("every frame") : *FString::Printf(TEXT("%.1f Hz"), 1.f / Interval));
