UKismetSystemLibrary::DelayUntilNextTick
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Pauses execution until the calling object's next tick. Because tick groups can run more than once per engine frame, that next tick may still occur within the current frame.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This waits for the object's own next Tick, not necessarily the next engine frame — for a guaranteed wait until the following frame, use DelayUntilNextFrame instead.
- • Enabling the CVar 'LatentActions.GuaranteeNextTickDelay' changes this function's behavior to guarantee the delay lasts until the next frame's tick, which can shift timing-sensitive Blueprint logic if toggled on an existing project.
- • Calling it again while a previous call is still pending is ignored, matching Delay's re-trigger behavior.
