FTimerManager::K2_FindDynamicTimerHandle

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "TimerManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: ENGINE_API

Description

Searches the timer manager for a timer bound to the given dynamic delegate and returns its handle. Returns an invalid handle if no such timer exists. Intended for use by the Kismet (K2) Blueprint system.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This function performs a linear scan over all timers to match the delegate — it is O(n) in the number of active timers. Do not call it per-frame or in hot loops.
• The K2_ prefix signals that this function is part of the internal Blueprint scripting interface. Prefer keeping a FTimerHandle in your own C++ code rather than using this lookup.

FTimerDynamicDelegate Del;
Del.BindUFunction(this, FName("MyTimerCallback"));

FTimerHandle Handle = GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().K2_FindDynamicTimerHandle(Del);
if (Handle.IsValid())
{
    GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().ClearTimer(Handle);
}
