SetActorTickEnabled — enable or disable Tick for this actor

SetComponentTickEnabled — enable or disable tick on a component

SetActorTickInterval — change how often Tick fires

TickInterval=0.0 means every frame. TickInterval=0.1 means 10 times per second. Great for AI or non-critical logic that doesn't need per-frame updates.

Event Tick — fires every frame with DeltaSeconds

Smooth rotation toward a target location using RInterpTo on Tick

Pattern: EventTick → FindLookAtRotation(Start=GetActorLocation, Target=TargetLocation) → RInterpTo(Current=GetActorRotation, Target=LookAt, DeltaTime=DeltaSeconds, InterpSpeed=5.0) → SetActorRotation(NewRotation=InterpResult). Key pins: FindLookAtRotation inputs are 'Start' and 'Target' (both Vectors). RInterpTo inputs: 'Current' (Rotator), 'Target' (Rotator), 'DeltaTime' (float), 'InterpSpeed' (float). SetActorRotation input: 'NewRotation' (Rotator).

Smooth camera follow with lag using VInterpTo every tick

Pattern: EventTick → GetActorLocation(TargetActor) → VInterpTo(CurrentCameraLocation, TargetLocation, DeltaSeconds, InterpSpeed) → SetActorLocation(Camera, Result). InterpSpeed 3-10 for smooth follow. Alternative: use SpringArmComponent with CameraLag enabled.

Rotate actor on tick with frame-rate independence using DeltaSeconds

Pattern: EventTick → DeltaSeconds output → Multiply_FloatFloat(DeltaSeconds, RotationSpeed) → MakeRotator(0, 0, Result) → K2_AddActorWorldRotation(MakeRotator output). Always multiply by DeltaSeconds. Use K2_AddActorLocalRotation for self-relative spin. RotationSpeed variable default ~30-90 degrees/sec.

Tick

Fires every frame. Avoid heavy work here — gate behind Branches and prefer event-driven logic when possible.

Rotate actor continuously on Tick using AddActorLocalRotation

Pattern: EventTick → Branch(bIsRotating) → True pin → MakeRotator(Z=RotationSpeed*DeltaSeconds) → AddActorLocalRotation. Key pin names: EventTick exec out='then', DeltaSeconds out='DeltaSeconds'; Branch exec in='execute', condition in='Condition'; AddActorLocalRotation exec in='execute', rotation in='DeltaRotation'. Multiply float by DeltaSeconds using Multiply_FloatFloat(A=RotationSpeed, B=DeltaSeconds).
