I’m not quite sure I understand. You should be able to change when the wind settings change and how fast via blueprint scripting. E.g… make it so at time X, windSpeed is set to a new value. Or if you want to increase it more gradually just increment the value over time.
But personally I wouldn’t be doing through BP, but by just adding multiple keyframes to the sequence via the sequencer. If you make a few cloud keyframes with different wind values and space them out, then will interpolate between them for a smooth transition. But again, maybe I’ve misunderstood what you mean ?
What do you mean by the maximised/minimized bug?
