Hi,

I want to have a Day Night Cycle with Sunrises & Sunsets in my game. I don’t want the time going by super fast, can I set a time limit in seconds for how long it’s day and how long it’s night? So like it’s day for 600 Seconds and it’s night for 600 seconds. Also I need there to be a Moon at night. Is there a Video Tutorial for this?

Thanks so much for your help! 🙂

Hello,

Check out this tutorial: [Tutorial:\_Time\_of\_Day](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Tutorial:_Time_of_Day).

You can change the “Sun Speed” variable to adapt the day/night length.

Here’s one of them: [Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial - Time Of Day - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt_TIYthRUE)

Just type “UE4 time of day” on google and you’ll see plenty of them.

I want the night to last longer, and darker. Is it possible?
