I’m trying to set up the moon in UE4 4.23 using TrueSky 4.2a, but the options relating to the moon don’t respond or snap back to default positions:

  • Sky keyframe: Automatic moon position checkbox is unchecked and won’t check when clicked.
  • Sky keyframe: Manual moon position snaps back to bottom of the circle when trying to rotate it.
  • Sky general: Added moon has empty color box and nothing happens when color box is clicked.
  • Sky general: Added moon won’t remove when the x is clicked.

We’ve moved Moon functionality to the Unreal side trueSKY Sequence Actor – we have a tutorial related coming out by next week. If we find issues, we will postpone the tutorial and focus on getting the issues resolved.

We admittedly have not removed the older settings from the Sky Keyframe settings, which will we be sure to do.

Any chance you could share initial steps to get the moon to show? Just playing around with the side panel right now, but not seeing any results when changing things.

Nevermind figured it out – in case it helps anyone else, what I did was adjust the origin under atmospherics until the moon rotated into position. I’m not sure this actually is the right way or it’s more of a bug (because I’m rotating the sky until the moon is in position). Couldn’t get any moon to show if I hit the plus button on the Moons tab, which seemed more like the official way to do it.
