UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_IsTimerActive
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns true if a timer set with Set Timer by Function Name exists for the given object and function and is not currently paused.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • 'Active' excludes paused timers — a paused timer still exists but returns false here, matching the semantics of the handle-based Is Timer Active by Handle.
- • Two different objects using the same FunctionName are tracked independently, since the lookup key is the Object/FunctionName pair, not the string alone.
