freeze the scene

Questions & Answers

Hi guys… I am trying to freeze the scene when my player hits certain objects and a gui window pops up. I tried to use a coroutine to do that but it seems like i don’t get the result I want. Any help?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Gui2 : MonoBehaviour {

	[Serializefield] private GameObject customText;

	IEnumerator OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
	{
		if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
		{
			customText.SetActive (true);
			Time.timeScale = 0.0f;

			yield return new WaitForSeconds(3.5f);

			customText.SetActive(false);
			Time.timeScale= 1.0f;
		}
	}
}

I’m not certain, but I assume that WaitForSeconds uses Time.deltaTime or something similar, so when you set the timeScale to 0, you’re also freezing the coroutine (This is all just an educated guess).

A quick look at the documentation and it seems you may want to use WaitForSecondsRealtime.

Hope i’m right and that works out for you!
