If Time is paused for any Actor that uses my #UnrealEngine5 Time Control system, all of their SFX also automatically pause.

I can put Actors into Time Groups. In this example the Parent Time Source for "Gameplay" is paused, so 'everything' pauses.

You can mark Macro nodes as *Development Only* but they STILL GET CALLED IN SHIPPING?!
