UKismetMathLibrary::Greater_DateTimeDateTime

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if A is strictly later in time than B (A > B). The primary use case is checking whether a deadline or scheduled event has passed.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Comparing a UTC timestamp against a local-time timestamp produces a meaningless result — FDateTime has no embedded timezone flag. Ensure both values use the same reference (both from FDateTime::UtcNow() or both from FDateTime::Now()).
• Returns false when A == B (strictly greater, not greater-or-equal). Use GreaterEqual_DateTimeDateTime if you need to treat simultaneous timestamps as passing the check.
