Ah, the classic "fix" to 80% of UE issues you run into.

johnjoestar.bsky.social•54 days ago

The other 20% of fixes being "Watch this Value" to realize your math is wrong

Most of it!

Ahh yes, order of execution issues. I hate doing this but I'd be lying if I said I've never done it haha.

A calls C but B need to happen before C. Having C called on the following tick allows B to do it's thing. Utilizing event dispatchers tend to be a better solution though. :)

This delay is because of "Event Dispatchers" (C++ Delegates). The GAS delegate is received on frame 1, the object and tag is handled on frame 2, then the ability is safe to execute on frame 3. At least that's what I think I saw happen in the source code execution. Not too sure!

If it works then it's good enough for me! Players will never see it!

johnjoestar.bsky.social•55 days ago

This is a GAS delegate-specific delay btw. The delegate dispatches on a frame, logic resolves on the next frame (remove tag), then code is safe to execute. Two frames seems stable even on low fps!

I guess you could make a macro out of it with with a loop and an integer input for how many times the delay til next tick runs, then you'd have an easy reusable block for delaying any number of ticks you like

if you have stuff inititalising in one place, and need something in another blueprint to initialise after, these sort of delays are useful for sure!
