UAudioComponent::GetLastPlayOrder

function Engine Since 5.0

#include "Components/AudioComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: inline

Description

Returns a monotonically increasing counter recorded the last time this component started playing a sound, used internally to order concurrent sound instances.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is bookkeeping for the concurrency/prioritization system, not a timestamp — it has no meaning outside comparing relative play order between components.
• The value is only updated on Play(); it does not change while a sound is paused, fading, or stopped.
