Syntax

template<class UserClass>
void SetTimer
(
    FTimerHandle & InOutHandle,
    UserClass * InObj,
    typename FTimerDelegate::TUObjectMethodDelegate< UserClass >::FMethodPtr InTimerMethod,
    float InRate,
    bool InbLoop,
    float InFirstDelay
)

Remarks

Sets a timer to call the given native function at a set interval. If a timer is already set for this handle, it will replace the current timer.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
InOutHandle	If the passed-in handle refers to an existing timer, it will be cleared before the new timer is added. A new handle to the new timer is returned in either case.
InObj	Object to call the timer function on.
InTimerMethod	Method to call when timer fires.
InRate	The amount of time (in seconds) between set and firing. If <= 0.f, clears existing timers.
InbLoop	true to keep firing at Rate intervals, false to fire only once.
InFirstDelay	The time (in seconds) for the first iteration of a looping timer. If < 0.f InRate will be used.
