slow motion effect in game

[nikhil38]

I want to create a slow motion effect in my game . I have used

     time.timescale = (0 < somevalue <1) ;

but this is effecting my entire scene…i want everything in my scene should go slow except my player object …
H[7408-playerscript.txt|7408]elp me with this !!!

While I don’t know for sure one way you could do it is multiply player’s move speed by

var val : float = 1 / Time.timeScale;

That would increase the movement speed by the difference in the time scale. For example, if the time scale was 0.1 (slow motion) then the player’s speed would need to be 10 times faster which would compensate for the difference.

Here’s an example (it’s written in C# but that it’s only to serve as an example)

Normal version

public class TestSlowMo : MonoBehaviour {
	private Vector3 originalPos;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		originalPos = transform.position;
	}

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		Vector3 newPos = originalPos;
		
		newPos.x += Mathf.PingPong((Time.time * 10), 10);
		
		transform.position = newPos;
	}
}

Time-scale compensating version:

public class TestSlowMo : MonoBehaviour {
	private Vector3 originalPos;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		originalPos = transform.position;
		Time.timeScale = 0.01f;
	}
	private float _val;
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		_val = (1 / Time.timeScale);
		Vector3 newPos = originalPos;
		
		newPos.x += Mathf.PingPong((Time.time * 10) * _val, 10);
		
		transform.position = newPos;
	}
}

This could be time consuming (sorry I couldn’t resist the pun) way to implement the desired effect but it seemed to work well on my test.

if (Time.timeScale > 0 && onSlowMotion) {
htranslation /= Time.timeScale;
vtranslation /= Time.timeScale;
}
but with this your character will slow down if timeScale > 1 (so, you could add ( && Time.timeScale < 1) to the if statement, if you want do that). This should work, if timeScale influences deltaTime like I think… could you write if it works?
