UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_GetTimerRemainingTime
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns how much time is left in the current iteration of the timer bound to the given object/function pair.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns 0.0 both for a timer that's about to fire and for a timer that doesn't exist at all — call K2_TimerExists first if you need to distinguish the two.
- • Matches the function by string name, so a typo in FunctionName silently produces 0.0 (with a logged warning) instead of a compile or runtime error.
