How does the DefaultTimer method in GameMode timing work?

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi!

It looks like the ShooterGameExample assumes that the DefaultTimer method in AGameMode is called once every second? Is this safe to assume or do I need to e.g. keep track of the time in order to be sure or is it possible to set the timing in code somewhere?

There whole timer framework

https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/API/RuntimeModules/Engine/FTimerManager/index.html

You can get access instance of manager from GetWorldTimerManager(), and then you can set timer which calls selected a function after choose time or even intervials :slight_smile:

GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimer(this, &ASomeClass::SomeFunction, time);

Timer is assined to function pointer, which you can can control timer pause it, reset it, read it current state
