UKismetSystemLibrary::K2_TimerExistsHandle
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns true if the timer manager still has an entry for the given handle, whether the timer is currently active or paused.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • A single (non-looping) timer that has already fired no longer exists — this returns false immediately after its one execution, even though the handle variable itself remains 'valid' per Is Valid Timer Handle.
- • This is broader than Is Timer Active by Handle: a paused timer counts as existing here but not as active.
