UActorComponent::AddTickPrerequisiteComponent

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Components/ActorComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: ENGINE_APIvirtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Adds a dependency so that this component's tick does not run until the specified component has completed its tick for the frame.

• The prerequisite must be in the same or earlier tick group for the dependency to be meaningful — cross-group prerequisites have no ordering effect.
• Avoid adding a component to its own prerequisite chain — circular dependencies are not detected and will cause undefined behavior.
• The dependency is tracked by pointer; if the prerequisite component is destroyed, stale pointers can cause crashes unless the dependency is explicitly removed first.
