Hi I’m making a FPS Game like Halo. I have made a regenerating shield Blueprint using a float called shield .
I would like for there be a before shield can regenerate.
You could use a gate that would close the flow to the regeneration and reopen the flow after a delay like below:
You should never do game-play logic on tick especially when it is multiplayer unless if it directly effects something visual.
Why should I not do game logic on
Tick?
- Tick run at different rates depending on the hardware so it would have to be multiplied with delta- to make it based.
- Ticking functions are more difficult to debug.
- Performance will be used on unnecessary calculations.
Just use a re-triggerable delay and the shield generator can be a Timer set to looping (SetTimerByEvent)
Use [AddTimeLine][1] node. Perfect fit for that type of gameplay mechanic.
Also yeah, avoid using EventTick for gameplay mechanics.

I may have you wrong, but what I can tell, I would try this and work from there.
Please tell me if I am in the wrong direction.

Can you remove these responses from myself. Accidently answered with my work account instead of personal account
can you show me how to use SetTimeByEvent in the answers.
