Is there any way to create an instanced timer ?
The exec chain is … Event Begin to a repeat calling an event that creates a component, and at the end of the event to call a timer to destroy the component just made.
Thing is when the repeat ends so does the timer. So I need to make the timer instanced and independent ?
Have you considered having each component set a creation time using ‘Get Game Time In Seconds’, setting a destruction time with the same node and a float+float, then using a ForEachLoop + Branch checking whether each component which has a timer should be destroyed?
If you could explain the gameplay mechanic this is for it may be easier to help.
I did use a separate branch before using a looped delay to destroy the component and this does work but then changed my mind. Instead of one event to create the component and separate timer to destroy I want to set a timer once the component is created to clear up after itself.
Isn’t there a Life Cycle you can set on the details, or is that not what you want to do?
Like with an Actor, life time ?
Thanks mbelarouci but that’s for an Actor not a Component. I had considered that but wanted to keep things contained to the creation bp.
