UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_PauseTimer

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Pauses a timer previously set with Set Timer by Function Name at its current elapsed time, identified by object and function name rather than a handle.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The timer remains set in the timer manager while paused — Does Timer Exist by Function Name still returns true — so this does not free up the Object/FunctionName pair for a new, unrelated timer.
• Safe to call on a function name with no active timer, or one that is already paused; both are silent no-ops.

Signature

static void K2_PauseTimer(UObject* Object, FString FunctionName);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
Object	UObject*	Object that implements the target function. Defaults to self (the blueprint the node is placed in).	—

Example

Pause a repeating tick while a menu is open (Blueprint) Blueprint

Event graph: on OpenPauseMenu, call 'Pause Timer by Function Name' with Object = self, FunctionName = 'ApplyDotTick'; on ClosePauseMenu, call 'Unpause Timer by Function Name' with the same pair to resume.
