AP Timer Suite is a lightweight server-authoritative replicated timer component that manages multiple gameplay timers keyed by Gameplay Tags. It provides late-join / join-in-progress safe snapshots, replication-driven events, and clean pause/resume semantics - ideal for cooldowns, objectives, and staged effects.

Key Features

• Server-authoritative timer state (clients consume replicated snapshots/events)

• Gameplay Tag addressing (ex: Timer.Cooldown.Dodge, Timer.Match.Round)

• Threshold events per timer (ex: 0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75, any count supported)

• Pause / Resume / Clear / Remove with explicit end semantics

• FastArray delta replication (replicates only timer changes)

• Blueprint-first API + snapshot queries for UI/gameplay

• UMG Inspector Overlay (filter/search, include inactive, auto-refresh)

• Join-in-progress safe (no replay of past thresholds; future thresholds still fire)
  
  

Common Uses

• Cooldowns + UI progress bars (late-join correct)

• Ability gating (server authoritative)

• Buff/debuff expirations + staged thresholds

• Objectives / match flow timers
  
  

Quick Start

1. Add AP Timer Suite Component to a replicated actor (recommended: PlayerState / GameState).

2. Server: AddTimer(Tag) → StartTimerAdvanced(Tag, Params) (or StartTimerSimple)

3. Bind events (Started / Paused / Resumed / Threshold / Ended).
   Server mutates timers; clients read snapshots for UI.
   
   

Included

• Component + Blueprint events & query functions

• UMG Inspector sample + demo workflow

• Multiplayer example map
