Normal - UEFN - Skydomes don't work in 24.00 with new TODM

Repro: Make a new level
Go to world settings and set TODM to the new one
Place a skydome with a zone and go inside it in UEFN. Lighting wont change (as it does with PP volumes)

Looks like the device has changed - it’s now called Day Sequence Device

That’s a different device I though. Like saying trigger and attribute trigger

In 24.00, we introduced the new Ch4 TODM to UEFN. These are exposed as:

Day Night Cycle
Day Night Cycle (Legacy) [Only available to existing projects already using this TODM or Creative island imports]

The SkyDome device only supports the “Day Night Cycle (Legacy)” TODM.

The DaySequence device only supports the “Day Night Cycle” TODM. It is intended to be the replacement for the SkyDome device where the new Ch4 TODM is concerned.

Understood. Would love to be able to switch back and forth, and a warning msg if I try to use env light rig/ day sequence device with legacy todm (so users dont get confused). Also legacy todm may be the target lighting until some issues are fixed with the new todm, and if user doesnt want lumen (due to artstyle), so ability to switch back is crucial

I found online (Day Sequence Device) that I have to select the “Day Night Cycle” in the “World Time Of Day Manager”. But how can I get there?

This can be a little confusing this isn’t on the Day Sequence Device itself but on the World Settings panel. If that’s missing for you you can find this under the Window tap in the top bar of UEFN.
