fai domanda su tick cusomizzato (every 2 frames, every n (exposed parameter) updates of the physics engine, 10 times a second)
Hello! Good day everyone!
So basically we all know about the event tick, which is called every frame, and I don’t know you guys but that’s the only “tick” event I know, so here’s my question:
Is there a way to implement “custom tick” functions? To speak my mind, I’ll make some examples:
A function that is called every 4 updates of the physics engine (not framerate-dependant)
A function that is reliably called 10 times a second
I am pretty sure this is a common thing in programming but I looked around google and the wiki and there’s no documentation for it in UE4!
Somewhere in .cpp, possibly in BeginPlay() or something like that (but not the class constructor!):
...
GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(TimerHandle, this, &UMyObjectClass::ReceiveUpdateTimer, 5.0f /* every 5 seconds */, true /* keep calling over and over */, 0.2f /* wait 0.2 seconds before calling it the first time */);
...
And to stop the callback, do something like this
// Make sure to check if world is valid, because you might end up stopping your timer during a Destroy(), and the world may be invalid at this point.
if (GetWorld())
{
GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().ClearTimer(TimerHandle);
TimerHandle.Invalidate();
}
No problem Mark as answer so others can find it, if you want (though the AnswerHub will unmark it if you leave another comment, which is kind of annoying)
