incrementing instead of speeding up ingame clock

my ingame clock increments instead of speeding up. i have created 3 methods between x1, x5, and x10 to speed up the clock when i press a button. here’s my code for clear understanding

Someone can help me figure it out? Thank you!

public Text DateTimeText;
    float gameTimer = 0f;

	void Update () 
    {     
        gameTimer += Time.deltaTime;
         
        int seconds = (int) (gameTimer % 60);
        int minutes = (int) (gameTimer / 60) % 60;
        int hours = (int) (gameTimer / 3600) % 24;

        string timeString = string.Format("{0:0}:{1:00}:{2:00}",hours,minutes,seconds);
        DateTimeText.text = timeString;
	}

    public void x1()
    {
        gameTimer += Time.deltaTime;
    }

    public void x5()
    {
        gameTimer += Time.deltaTime * 300;
    }

    public void x10()
    {
        gameTimer += Time.deltaTime * 600;
    }

When x5 is called it’s just adding 300. Make it set a variable to 300 and factor that variable into the first line of your update.

Your Update method increments your gameTimer by Time.deltaTime every frame. Your three xY functions don’t change the speed - they only add the time of a single frame (multiplied by 300 or 600). If you want to change the speed with which your clock is running, you need to multiply the deltaTime value in your Update method.

Add a float field called timeMultiplier and set it to 1.0f by default. Make your xY functions set that value to 1, 5 and 10. Replace gameTimer += Time.deltaTime; in the Update method with gameTimer += Time.deltaTime * timeMultiplier;.
