UKismetInputLibrary::InputEvent_IsRepeat

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns whether this input event is an auto-repeated keystroke generated by the OS holding a key down, rather than a fresh key press.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only meaningful for key-down style events — key-up and analog events never set the repeat flag.
• Auto-repeat timing (delay and rate) comes from the OS/platform settings, not the engine, so it is not consistent across machines.
