"Value" variable and "DeltaTimeSeconds" (Toon Tanks 139)

[Gabry]

Hi,

Can someone let explain the “Value” variable used input mapping in the Toon Tanks?

We surely did not declare it, and they say it is an unreal common variable, which I could not find.

Also why do we have to use “GetWorld()->DeltaTimeSeconds”, why did not we just multiply it by DeltaTime like Building Escape?

Thanks alot,

Value is a parameter of your input function. You set what the value will be in editor project settings. You can for example set that it will be 1 when pressing w and -1 when pressing s.

You only have access to DeltaTime when you are inside the Tick function. Because you are inside the Input function you use GetWorld()->DeltaTimeSeconds() instead to get the same result
