UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_GetTimerElapsedTime

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns how much time has elapsed in the current iteration of the timer bound to the given object/function pair.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns 0.0 both when the timer genuinely just started and when no timer exists for that object/function — you can't tell the two cases apart from this value alone, check K2_TimerExists first if it matters.
• For a looping timer this is the elapsed time since the current loop iteration began, not the total time since the timer was first set.
