UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_SetTimerForNextTickDelegate
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Sets a timer that fires a bound event on the very next tick, effectively a delegate-based one-frame defer. Appears in Blueprint as 'Set Timer for Next Tick by Event'.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Unlike DelayUntilNextTick, which pauses the current execution flow in place, this schedules a separate event to fire later — the calling graph continues immediately after this node returns.
- • The event still goes through the timer manager, so it is subject to the same next-tick semantics as any other zero-delay timer (it can fire within the same engine frame if tick groups run more than once).
