Cannot use UObject method delegates with raw pointers

Am trying to create a timer for an actor and something doesn’t seem to be working out right. I don’t know how to make it work.

I have this code which compiles and works.

GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimer(CountdownTimerHandle, this, &Anewactor::AdvanceTimer, 1.0f, true);

(Anewactor class inherits from AActor and does nothing except the test timer).

I have another class that inherits from AActor and this code

		FTimerHandle DummyHandle;
		GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimer(DummyHandle, this, &APrinceMainMenu::TestTimerTrigger, SoundDuration, false);
		GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimer(DummyHandle, this, &APrinceMainMenu::LoadFrontEndMap, SoundDuration, false);

This code fails to compile with the error.

You cannot use UObject method delegates with raw pointers.

What am I missing out ?

Hey asla-

What class is APrinceMainMenu? Where is your UObject? If you add the asterisk after FTimerHandle to make DummyHandle a pointer rather than a variable does the second set of code compile?
