Vast Performance Improvement to Is Game In Fore Ground of OS
Dear Community,
If you didnt know, I offer you a node that allows you to always know if your game is the foreground window in your end user's OS!
You can track this bool on a timer to know when the user has tabbed out of the game, and then when they tab back in!
You can use this knowledge to display messages, pause single player games, or throttle usage of resources if your game is no longer in the foreground!
Just another way to write polite and resource-efficient software, for you, from me!

Performance Improvement
I am very happy to announce I've vastly improved my internal implementation of this ndoe!
My code went from this:
old version
to this!
new version!
The latter is very efficient to call frequently and is operating system independent just like the first version.
Enjoy!

My code went from this:

Code:
//Iterate Over Actors
UWorld* TheWorld = NULL;
for ( TObjectIterator<AActor> Itr; Itr; ++Itr )
{
TheWorld = Itr->GetWorld();
if (TheWorld) break;
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
}
//Get Player
ULocalPlayer* VictoryPlayer =
TheWorld->GetFirstLocalPlayerFromController();
if (!VictoryPlayer) return false;
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//get view port ptr
UGameViewportClient * VictoryViewportClient =
Cast < UGameViewportClient > (VictoryPlayer->ViewportClient);
if (!VictoryViewportClient) return false;
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FViewport * VictoryViewport = VictoryViewportClient->Viewport;
if (!VictoryViewport) return false;
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
return VictoryViewport->IsForegroundWindow();
new version!
Code:
bool UVictoryBPFunctionLibrary::ClientWindow__GameWindowIsForeGroundInOS()
{
return FPlatformProcess::IsThisApplicationForeground();
}
