UKismetSystemLibrary::GetGameTimeInSeconds

Description
Returns the current game time in seconds. This pauses when the game is paused and is scaled by slomo, unlike real time.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Because it's affected by dilation/slomo and pausing, it's not suitable for measuring real wall-clock elapsed time — use UGameplayStatics::GetRealTimeSeconds for that.
- • Requires a valid WorldContextObject; passing an object with no world (e.g. a CDO) will fail to resolve and can return 0.
