Reference

Pattern: Variables TimeOfDay(float)=12.0, DayLengthMinutes(float)=10. Tick: TimeOfDay += (DeltaSeconds/DayLengthMinutes/60)*24 → FMod(TimeOfDay, 24) → MapRangeClamped(TimeOfDay, 0, 24, 0, 360) → MakeRotator(SunPitch, 0, 0) → SetActorRotation(SunLight). Update sky SunDirection and light color/intensity based on time.
