TimeScale that doesn't affect the player movement

Unity Engine
1

hello, i’m trying to make a script that slows everything down except the player. I’m very new to coding in unity and i have absolutely no idea how to do this. here is the code i have so far:

using UnityEngine;

public class SlowTime : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float slowFactor = 0.01f;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetButton("StopTime"))
        {
            Time.timeScale = slowDownFactor;
        }
        else
        {
            Time.timeScale = 1f;
        }
    }
}

and

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovment : MonoBehaviour
{

    public CharacterController controller;

    public float speed = 12f;
    public float gravity = -9.81f;
    public float jumpHeight = 3f;

    public Transform groundCheck;
    public float groundDistance = 0.4f;
    public LayerMask groundMask;

    Vector3 velocity;
    bool isGrounded;
   
    void Update()
    {
        isGrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(groundCheck.position, groundDistance, groundMask);

        if (isGrounded && velocity.y < 0)
        {
            velocity.y = -2f;
        }
        float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;

        controller.Move(move * speed * Time.deltaTime);

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isGrounded)
        {
            velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2f * gravity);
        }

        velocity.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime;

        controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

You can declare a public method in each enemy like TimeDeformer and in Update when you’re using Time.deltatime you need to multiply this by a factor. 1f no influences, 0.5f - 2 times slower, 0.25f - 4 times slower.

But if you want to slow the enviroment/enemies i think you should make your own timer class and read the deltatime from there. Then you can deforme the timer how you want.

Edit: you’ll return the same Time.deltatime but with the timeDeformer.
PS: i didnt had inspiration for other name than timeDeformer :slight_smile:
