Hi,
I’m wanting to create a scoring system, where a character is in a trigger box and gets points based upon the amount of time in that box. I’ve already got it so I can have a set number of points, like 10 for example, and bring that up on the HUD, but I can’t figure out how to do that based upon time.
Can someone give me advice, please?
Hi! In fact it depends on how often you want to update your score^
If you want to get updated score value every frame then Tick is your only possibility
If you want to get updated score value often but not every frame then you can use Timers (Using C++ Timers in Unreal Engine - Tom Looman)
If you only want to get FINAL updated score value then just use Begin Overlap and End Overlap overrides
And anyway there is something like GetWorld()->GetTimeSeconds(UWorld::GetTimeSeconds | Unreal Engine Documentation)
A lot of ways to do this; for example: in the Trigger Box actor:
You could, of course, have similar logic in the player instead and check what they stepped into.
Thanks for your help!
Thank you
