UKismetTextLibrary::AsTimeZoneDateTime_DateTime
#include "Kismet/KismetTextLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Converts a date & time to combined date and time text, converting from UTC to the given timezone (or the local timezone if none is specified), accounting for daylight saving time.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • InDateTime is assumed to be UTC — this is the correct function to display a server-authoritative UTC timestamp (e.g. FDateTime::UtcNow()) in a player's local time.
- • DST transitions can make an ambiguous or non-existent local time near the transition boundary; the underlying ICU-based formatting resolves these per platform/locale rules rather than exposing the ambiguity to the caller.
