Unreal Engine 5 Custom Date and Time System:

This is a Date and Time System for Unreal Engine 5; It handles Dates and Time in standard or your own custom format.

Pros:

• Pretty much plug and play; All logic is ran from a single actor DateTimeManager
• Use standard DateTime or create your own, days, months and week lengths
• Easy to use; Straight-forward with no bloat
• Blueprint accessable; No code required
• Uses timers; Not tick
• Clean and commented

Cons:

• Not network replicated

---

Getting Started:

1. First thing you need to do is add the DateTimeManager actor to your world

2. Once the actor has been added; tweak the settings to your liking

and thats it! You're now all set and can start using the Date and Time plugin!

---

Using the Plugin:

Using the plugin is very simple; all you need to do is call StartGameTime() and it will start counting time (if you have bStartOnBeginPlay set as true you can skip this).

Stopping time is just as easy; Just call StopGameTime().

We can directly change time without any delegates firing by using SetGameTime()

If you have bUseDefaultDateTime set to true, then the actor we clear all data and replace it with the standard DateTime (Don't use this is we want custom days/months etc)

Delegates:

There are a few Delegates that you can bind too when time advances.
