UActorComponent::RegisterAllComponentTickFunctions

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "Components/ActorComponent.h"

Access: public

Description

Calls the virtual RegisterComponentTickFunctions chain to register or unregister all tick functions for this component. Do not override this function; override RegisterComponentTickFunctions instead.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This function is intentionally non-virtual — the header comment explicitly states not to override it. Override RegisterComponentTickFunctions (the protected virtual) to add custom tick function registration.
• Called automatically during component registration and unregistration; you rarely need to call it manually unless implementing a custom component registration flow.

Example

Overriding RegisterComponentTickFunctions to add a secondary tick C++

void UMyComponent::RegisterComponentTickFunctions(bool bRegister)
{
    Super::RegisterComponentTickFunctions(bRegister);
    if (bRegister)
    {
        if (SetupActorComponentTickFunction(&SecondaryTick))
        {
            SecondaryTick.Target = this;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if (SecondaryTick.IsTickFunctionRegistered())
        {
            SecondaryTick.UnRegisterTickFunction();
        }
    }
}
