Run a function after each physics cycle, without an AActor class

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hello,

i would like to execute a function in a normal class after each physics run of the Engine.

I have searched quite a lot in the documantations but couldn’t find anything safe except this entry [1] which can only be used in AActor classes.

What options do I have? It is important that this function is only executed after a physics run and that it is also waited until it is fully executed.

I have only been in UE for a short time and have previously developed in other engines where there are simple options for this.

Many thanks in advance.

When you say “waited until it is fully executed,” what is waiting?
Rendering?
Main thread?
Further physics?
Networking?
Sound?
GUI?

In general, you can create a FTickFunction instance and make sure it’s scheduled for the Main thread and run in the post-update tick group and it’ll probably be what you’re looking for.

Another option is to go through FGenericTask and add it at the end of the post-physics tick group.

i am sorry this was unclear, what i meant by waiting is that it should wait until my function is completed before starting the next physics run.
