UKismetMathLibrary::GetHour12

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the hour component of A in 12-hour clock format (1–12). Midnight returns 12, noon returns 12. Use this for AM/PM display in the UI.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Both midnight (00:xx) and noon (12:xx) return 12. To distinguish AM from PM you must also check IsAfternoon() or compare GetHour() against 12.
• The range is 1–12, not 0–11. Hour 12 represents both midnight and noon — code expecting 0 at midnight (as some 12-hour clock libraries use) will be incorrect.
