EGameThreadMethod

EGameThreadMethod is an enum that specifies which hook to use for game thread execution.

Values

Usage

-- Check availability before using a specific method
if EngineTickAvailable then
    ExecuteInGameThread(function()
        print("Runs once per frame\n")
    end, EGameThreadMethod.EngineTick)
end

if ProcessEventAvailable then
    ExecuteInGameThread(function()
        print("Runs via ProcessEvent\n")
    end, EGameThreadMethod.ProcessEvent)
end

Related Global Variables

• EngineTickAvailable - Boolean, true if EngineTick hook is available
• ProcessEventAvailable - Boolean, true if ProcessEvent hook is available

Notes

• If neither method is available, game thread execution functions will throw an error
• The default method can be configured in UE4SS-settings.ini via DefaultGameThreadExecutionMethod
• When a specific method is requested but unavailable, functions will fall back to the other method if available
• ProcessEvent is generally more reliable but fires very frequently
• EngineTick is better for frame-synchronized operations and is required for frame-based delays
