Time Rewind Component (Available on Fab Marketplace)

PaperZD Plugin Required(Tutorial included watch before attempting to use)

This Blueprint component enables your 2D character to rewind time, restoring world location and animation state over time.

• As-shipped it uses PaperZD for animation playback (e.g., Play Animation Override with Callbacks).
• If you prefer Paper2D-only, you can still use the component by replacing the PaperZD nodes with the corresponding Paper2D flipbook/animation nodes and your own timing logic.

Designed for UE5 Paper2D platformers, Metroidvanias, and time-based puzzle games.

⚙️ Features

• 🌀 Real-time position & animation rewind
• ⏯️ Press to rewind, release to resume
• 🎞️ Frame-by-frame animation control
• 🧠 Modular, Blueprint-only (no C++)
• 🧩 PaperZD-ready; adaptable to Paper2D(by replacing corresponding nodes)

• BP_TimeRewind component
• Clean, commented nodes
• Input setup guide (README)

  🧠 Requirements

  • Unreal Engine: 5.0+
  • Paper2D
  • PaperZD (Required to use as-is)
    • Without PaperZD: replace PaperZD animation nodes with Paper2D equivalents (e.g., Flipbook play/stop, manual playback time handling).

  🔧 How to Use

  1. Add the component to your 2D character.
  2. Bind input: Pressed → call Rewind, Released → call Forward.
  3. Done—recording/rewind runs automatically.
  4. If not using PaperZD: swap the PaperZD nodes for Paper2D flipbook nodes and your timing logic.
