Slow motion effect using SetGlobalTimeDilation

Activate: SetGlobalTimeDilation(0.2) → SetTimerByFunctionName(FunctionName='EndSlowMo', Time=2.0 (real time), bLooping=false). IMPORTANT: Timer Duration uses GAME time, so compensate: actual timer Time = desired_real_seconds * TimeDilation (e.g. 2.0 real sec at 0.2 dilation = 0.4 game sec). End: SetGlobalTimeDilation(1.0). For player-only slow motion: use CustomTimeDilation on the pawn (set to 5.0 when world is 0.2).

SetGlobalTimeDilation — slow down or speed up the entire game

1.0=normal, 0.5=half speed, 0.0=pause. Affects physics, animations, timers.

SetGlobalTimeDilation — speed up or slow down game time

UGameplayStatics. 1.0=normal, 0.5=half speed, 2.0=double speed. Minimum 0.0001.

Delay — latent delay node pauses execution for Duration seconds

UKismetSystemLibrary::Delay. Latent node — only works in Event Graph, not functions. Output exec displays as Completed.

Delay — wait for Duration seconds then continue

Exec output is 'Completed' (NOT 'then'). Does not block — execution continues after Delay node fires.

Create a Blueprint Actor that rotates slowly on EventTick using a RotationSpeed variable

Delay

Pauses execution for N seconds, then continues. Implemented as a latent action — execution suspends, not blocks.

Smooth camera follow with lag using VInterpTo every tick

Pattern: EventTick → GetActorLocation(TargetActor) → VInterpTo(CurrentCameraLocation, TargetLocation, DeltaSeconds, InterpSpeed) → SetActorLocation(Camera, Result). InterpSpeed 3-10 for smooth follow. Alternative: use SpringArmComponent with CameraLag enabled.

Latent Action

A node that doesn't return immediately — Delay, MoveTo, etc. Execution suspends until the action completes.
