WTF Is? Set Timer in Unreal Engine 4 ( UE4 )

[@JohnDaniels]

There are a lot of videos saying to use the tick and delay but I thought that there should be a more efficient way and sure enough there was your video, great job!

[@thehungrymonk17]

Sweet thank you . Your videos are always great. Straight to the point with an easy to understand example . Kudos!

[@doop00]

They are great substitute for Event Tick if you don't need precise updates.

Best learning resources on the net!!!!! Good work man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@V67Snick]

I wonder if anyone form Epic software ever thanked Mathew for writing (via youtube) the most valid BP node reference manual I am aware of. If they haven't, I certainly do!

[@shubhampranav]

Mathew is very much involved with Epic in creating great content. He has created content for Epic's learning platform as well.

[@TheGraphicsgriffin]

Love your videos, they are of great help, thanks!

[@jonathanxdoe]

You don't have to physically connect the Event to the Timer, you use: create new event and then select from the drop down the event you created elsewhere

[@PsyCoCinematics]

Ooo, well ya learn somethin' new every day! Nice info, lad!

[@meatyourhouseatnight]

I love this guy so much is2g.

[@itsxfields420x4]

I see you created a custom event now say if I wanna just use beginplay event I'd use the timer by event and not function? Also would timer by function work on constructions?

[@kartikjmayya6512]

What i noticed is that if the function has parameters as either input or output, then the specified function doesn't work.

[@Xegethra]

Is there a way the time can be set to a random time?

[@megtwin]

Does using the Timer by Event have the same issue with using a delay node in the event you are running?

[@yrussq]

As far as i know. Can you use "Timer by" inside functions - No. Would they ignore new calls when the timer is not expired - yes.

[@QueirozVini]

very, very, very, very good tutorial!! thanks a bunch!!!!

[@jeshiabood6752]

[@Sebaxterr]

thanks, now how do i stop the timer from executing when looping is true?

[@UnstableVolt]

With a branch node.

[@Sebaxterr]

@@UnstableVolt Was looking for the clear timer node, but thanks!

Does anyone know why my set timer by event node fires, but my actual event doesn't? Nothing I can do will fix this. Banging my head against the wall. Thanks

[@BlackHorizonGames]

I had the same problem. And, I found the issue. I was firing my timer from inside a widget. The issue is that the game was also set into Paused mode while inside the widget. That also appears to pause all timers. You'll need to use another approach other than timers when game play is paused.

[@beaverundercover3479]

Informative and thank you. For clarity:- three second delay, then call IncreaseHealth(). This shows five seconds because?( it took you two seconds to press the button "Do Something"? Why?)

[@NeverEverFaceTheDark]

thanks!

[@terrablader]

Great

[@kwansikkim8712]

Thanks for your video tutorial series. By the way, I realized this function actually executes the delegate functions/events by 2 minutes into this video. Why this misleading minimalist function name? Why not something like ExecDelegateWithTimer ??

[@FlfyCats17]

😹 WHAT THE HECK WHY DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG TO FIND THIS I'VE BEEN USING UNREAL FOR LIKE OVER A YEAR NOW AND EVERYONE ALWAYS SAYS "YEAH BRO YOU CAN'T JUST ADD A TIMER LIKE THAT YOU SHOULD USE DELAYS INSTEAD" AND IT BECAME THE MOST TIRING PROCESS OF WORKING LENGTHS OF CODE AROUND DELAYS BUT NOW THERE'S JUST THIS TIMER NODE THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE WHOLE TIME WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS I DON'T UNDERSTAND AOJHDSLJFKHASDKLFHASLDFJHASKLDJFHALSFDHJKASDLFHAKSHFDSAKLALSFJSKALJFDHALKISFHLSKADFJHDAKLSFHLKJASJJJDJHJFJJJJ
