UKismetMathLibrary::GetTotalSeconds

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the total elapsed time of the timespan as a fractional number of seconds, combining all components into one value. This is the most commonly used FTimespan accessor for gameplay timing.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns total seconds across the whole span, not the seconds component. A span of 1 minute 30 seconds returns 90.0, not 30.0. Use FTimespan::GetSeconds() for the component-only value.
• When working with very long timespans (multiple days), the double precision may not represent individual milliseconds exactly. If sub-second accuracy matters at large scale, query GetTotalMilliseconds and divide by 1000.0 instead.
