UActorComponent::SetComponentTickInterval
#include "Components/ActorComponent.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: ENGINE_APIUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Sets the tick interval for this component's primary tick function. Does not enable the tick function — the change takes effect on the next tick.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This does NOT enable ticking — you must separately call SetComponentTickEnabled(true) if ticking is disabled.
- • The change takes effect on the next tick, not immediately. Use SetComponentTickIntervalAndCooldown if you need instant effect.
- • Setting TickInterval to 0 restores the default (every-frame) tick rate.
