Have singular GameObject or script ignore Time.timeScale

[Matbeseris]

There’s a part in my game which requires I make the time scale 0 to stop things such as the player moving etc. However, I need a particle effect still actively animating. How can I get the particle to ignore the timescale and continue doing its particle animating?

Add this script to the GameObject with the particle system. The particle animation will continue to play

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SimulateDeltatTime : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float lastTime;
    private ParticleSystem ps;

    private void Awake ()
    {
        ps = GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ();
    }

    void Start ()
    {
        lastTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float deltaTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup - lastTime;
        ps.Simulate (deltaTime, true, false);
        lastTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
    }
}
