Title practically says it all, Can you make a service in a behavior tree and then from another blueprint change the Interval that it does the tick?

My goal is to let a branch of the behavior tree execute for a certain amount of time, and I’d like to change that amount of time depending on the level or possibly some other condition

Perhaps there is a better way to do something like this… but this is the first thing that’s come to mind

My immediate plan B is just to have it check if a variable is T/F and run a timer somewhere else that sets said variable… the only problem with this being unnecessary checks and essentially two timers running

From what I’ve found, or rather lack of finding… I’d assume No you can not

Answer: No
