The purpose of this project is to test time dilation, pausing and resuming of a UE Mass simulation.

YouTube video demonstration and code discussion (1.5 minute demo, 18.5 minute discussion)

Compatible UE Version: 5.6

I set the EngineAssociation = "" in the .uproject so you can clone this into your Custom Engine Sandbox/ and it will automatically build with your Custom Engine.

• Start PIE
  • click - and + to change the sim time dilation
  • click SPACEBAR to pause/resume
• Notice:
  • During Pause state, Mass is not ticking, time is standing still as far as Mass is concerned.
  • During Play state, time dilation is accomplished via global time dilation.
  • Player Controller/Character/Widgets/etc are NOT dilated in either Play or Pause state, they always run in real time.
• Ignore the art and animations, this is a code/tech demo, I am not an animator.
