🧑‍💻API Source
This page is auto-generated! The Functions, Properties and Events described here are defined in our GitHub's API Repository! Feel free to commit suggestions and changes to the source .json API files!

nanos world natively integrates Ultra Dynamic Sky, one of best Unreal Marketplace Asset Packs, it provides a dynamic sky and weather solution for games!

Through the Sky class, we expose it's methods to allow customizing it's parameters in real time!

🎒 Examples

Client/Index.lua
-- Spawns a new Ultra Dynamic Sky actor
Sky.Spawn()

-- Sets the time to 16:30
Sky.SetTimeOfDay(16, 30)
