Rigidbody.addForce() with a slow timescale

Questions & Answers
1

Hi everyone!
I need to be able to throw some boxes at the player’s position with addForce() from Rigidbody. It’s ok, very easy, however I need to do this with a slow motion effect using TimeScale, but when I do this, looks like the AddForce is affected somehow by the timescale and the boxes almost does not move… =(

Any advice?

Thanks in advance! =]

Try Time.timeScale = ( 0.5f * Time.deltaTime );

  • Use appropriate value instead 0.5f

From Time.timeScale:

If you lower timeScale it is recommended to also lower Time.fixedDeltaTime by the same amount.

Also:

When timeScale is 1.0 the time is passing as fast as realtime. When timeScale is 0.5 the time is passing 2x slower than realtime.

So I’m not sure what @harschell thinks Time.timeScale = ( 0.5f * Time.deltaTime ); is going to do, but I think that it’s going to set the Timescale to really super low.

At least based off what the documentation says. Could be wrong on that one.
