UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_GetTimerElapsedTimeHandle
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns how much time has elapsed in the current iteration of the timer referenced by the given handle.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns -1.0 (not 0.0) if the timer no longer exists, which is easy to mistake for a genuinely small elapsed time if you don't check the sign.
- • For a looping timer, this resets to near zero at the start of every iteration — it is not a running total across all loops.
