FTimerManager::SetTimerForNextTick
#include "TimerManager.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: inline
Description
Schedules a callback to fire exactly once at the start of the next frame's timer tick. Useful for deferring logic that is unsafe to execute mid-tick.
Signature
template<class UserClass> FTimerHandle SetTimerForNextTick( UserClass* inObj, void (UserClass::*inTimerMethod)() )Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| inObj | UserClass* | The object whose method will be called. | — |
| inTimerMethod | void (UserClass::*)() | The member function to call on the next tick. | — |
Return Type
FTimerHandle Caveats & Gotchas
- • Unlike SetTimer, this returns the FTimerHandle by value rather than through an out-parameter — store the return if you may need to cancel it.
- • Overloads exist for FTimerDelegate, FTimerDynamicDelegate, and TFunction<void()>.
- • Common uses: deferring actor spawns or destructions triggered from within an overlap event, or breaking circular update dependencies between systems.
Example
Defer an action to the next frame C++
GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimerForNextTick(
this,
&AMyActor::SafeCleanup
