Slow motion without touching fixedDeltaTime

[nantoaqui_1]

Hello!

I’m making a 2D game platform where the player has the ability to slow down the time but him itself is not affected. I’m having some progress doing this:

Scaling fixedDeltaTime:

Time.timeScale = slowdownFactor;
Time.fixedDeltaTime = 0.02F * Time.timeScale;
Time.maximumDeltaTime = Time.maximumDeltaTime / slowdownFactor;

And also multiplying the player velocity by 1/Time.scaleTime.

The problem I’m facing now is like this:

Physics Glitches with Time.fixedDeltaTime and Slow Motion

I’ve been working on a game in Unity, and I’ve come across some physics glitches when dealing with slow motion and scaling Time.timeSacle and Time.fixedDeltaTime. Check out this picture for reference: https://i.imgur.com/9pjcF34.png There’s the four players, and the blue one is the one that I control. After killing the other players to win the match, I have the game pause for a second, then gradually speed back up to real time. First Gif: https://gfycat.com/SplendidExcellentBeaver For the on…

Make the player faster when game is in slow motion

I was wondering if it’s a good idea to try a different approach, instead of messing up with time scale I would have a “Time Controller” that would publish events to other objects in the scene and then changing their velocity accordingly.

Is this a good move? May I have some problems with this?

All you need to get a slow motion effect is modifying Time.timeScale. Don’t touch any of the other magnitudes.
