I’m have tried to find a way to get delta time with no luck. I have found a lot of answers on how to do it, bou not with c++.

Depends on what you’re do ng. Anything AActor based can override the Tick function which has a DeltaTime argument.

I’m trying to move a character class based object by changing the transform directly. I’m also gonna need to mome a avtor base object, so I would love to know both methods.

ACharacter actually derives from AActor so in both cases you need to override the Tick function.

In a Character C++ sub-class…

World->GetTimeSeconds();

World->GetDeltaSeconds();
