Ultra Dynamic Sky (UDS)

note

This update is only available in UDS version 8.6 and above due to some functions not being available.

Replacement​

Start by installing and dragging UDS into your world and deleting Narrative Sky.

Time of Day Animation​

Open the Ultra_Dynamic_Sky blueprint and open the function Time of Day Animation.

In order to allow Narrative to control the time of day, you can modify the function to look like the below. This way, any events called to the Narrative Narrative Sky system will affect UDS.

warning

Make sure you use the Narrative - Get Time of Day function. Not the UDS one.

UDS Weather saving​

We need to allow UDS Weather to be saved. Open Ultra_Dynamic_Weather and add the interface for saving, Narrative Savable Actor.

Now open the construction script, and add the Create Save Guid function, then promote the Out Guid to a variable.

Go into the Interfaces section and search for the GetActorGuid function. Connect your new Out Guid variable.

Finally, to save the weather, select the Weather variable from the variables section, then inside the Details panel, under Advanced tick Save Game.

Events​

Whilst the integration is technically done, you can further integrate UDS by adding a Narrative Event to change the weather.

Create a new NarrativeEvent called NE_SetWeather then add the below code to the ExecuteEvent.
