UAssetManager::GetTimerManager

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: const

Description

Returns a timer manager safe to use for asset-loading-related actions, backed by the editor or game instance timer manager depending on context.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Can return nullptr during very early engine startup, before an editor or game instance timer manager exists — always null-check before use.
• In editor builds this may be the editor's timer manager rather than a PIE instance's, so timers set through it won't pause the same way as gameplay timers.

Signature

FTimerManager* GetTimerManager() const

Return Type

FTimerManager*

Example

Use it for a retry timer during asset loading C++

if (FTimerManager* Timers = UAssetManager::Get().GetTimerManager())
{
	FTimerHandle RetryHandle;
	Timers->SetTimer(RetryHandle, this, &UMyLoader::RetryLoad, 1.0f, false);
}
