This function Delay | Unreal Engine Documentation Simply does not exist in my base verion of UE5 is there something I am missing? Do I need to have certain plugins installed? Also, on a side note MetaSounds “Send” also doesn’t exist. I simply cannot use UE5 with this missing functionality, or am I forced to use other methods like making my own delay functions with DateTime to deal with the removal of Delay?
Latent nodes are not available in every graph. You can’t have it inside a function, for example. There are some other limitations - like Drag & Drop operation being unable to fetch the Player Controller.
Where & what are you trying to Delay? Try it in the main blueprint graph.

Common alternatives when delay is not available are running a timer or widget animation to trigger an event at their end.
I was trying to do it in a function but yes, it seems as if you can only do delay in the main event graph. It seems like C++ may be the better option, as blueprints are very limiting, you can’t even get epoch time in blueprints.
