I am attempting to use the Get Game Time in Seconds function in Unreal 5.7, but I want to make sure I fully understand it. It seems to require a World Context Object, but I believe I have seen an alternate version, perhaps from a different version of Unreal, that does not. If this version of the function exists in 5.7, I am not seeing it.

All attempts to locate documentation and tutorials have been fruitless. Right clicking the node only reveals in inactive, greyed-out documentation button. Web searches for “unreal blueprints get game time” pull up a link ([https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/BlueprintAPI/Utilities/Time/GetGameTimeinSeconds](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/BlueprintAPI/Utilities/Time/GetGameTimeinSeconds)) to said documentation, but it infuriatingly redirects to the home page of Unreal 5.9 documentation. Using the Unreal Engine website search bar only results in forum posts.

I am extremely frustrated. Documentation for software like this needs to accessible, navigable, and comprehensible. I have know idea if the last one applies because, in this instance, the first two certainly do not.

Any help locating the documentation would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you.
