How to get time since last update?

[Guest]

I am writing a script that uses RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime to update a value every hour. This will only update once at the end of waiting/sleeping for a certain number of hours.

 

What is the pattern I should use so that I can determine the "time since last update" and so increment the value by the correct amount when the event fires?

One possible way would be to store the time whenever you update, and then next time you check that against the new time when it fires again.
