UKismetTextLibrary::AsTimeZoneDate_DateTime
#include "Kismet/KismetTextLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Converts a date & time to text formatted as a date only, 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 — passing an already-local value here will double-convert and produce the wrong date, especially near midnight in timezones far from UTC.
- • DST transitions mean the same UTC instant can format to a different local date depending on the exact time of year, which can be surprising for date-only displays near a DST boundary.
- • An invalid or unrecognized InTimeZone string falls back to interpreting the value in an implementation-defined way rather than raising a Blueprint-visible error.
