UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_IsTimerActiveHandle
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns true only if a timer exists for the given handle and is not currently paused.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • 'Active' specifically excludes paused timers — a timer that exists but is paused returns false here even though Does Timer Exist by Handle would still return true.
- • Returns false for an invalid or never-set handle rather than erroring, so it is safe to call on a freshly declared FTimerHandle variable.
