Can you explain why are you using time.deltaTime?

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

so it wont instantly stop

#

some fancy slow motioning to stopping

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

@uncut magnet You need to manipulate your Slow variable, you are just subtracting from it, it will remain the same. And deltaTime is affected by scaling, use unscaledDeltaTime

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

well overload :l

ocean ivy Sep 25, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

uncut magnet well overload :l

Don’t use that

#

Movetowards is a Vector3 function to move

#

Have you tried Mathf.Lerp?

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

lerp?

ocean ivy Sep 25, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

Yes

#

The documentation gives a bit of info

#

I can then explain for any doubts

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

well still 3 floats... same as the movetowards...

ocean ivy Sep 25, 2021, 3:03 PM

#

Mathf.Lerp

#

Not Vector3.Lerp

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

i still cant understand it..

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

Look at the usage in the manual

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

ok

#

well

#

i cant understand it..

ocean ivy Sep 25, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

We are here to help

#

@uncut magnet what’s your question

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

is the timescale wokring if its more than 1 decimal?

ocean ivy Sep 25, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

Probably

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

its not working for me

#

i want smooth timescale 1 to 0

ocean ivy Sep 25, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

How are you setting it?

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:11 PM

#

time.timescale = 1 - time.deltatime;

ocean ivy Sep 25, 2021, 3:11 PM

#

Use the lerp

#

Well gtg

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:12 PM

#

i cant understand lerp

#

that's the problem

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:12 PM

#

This is just the same setup which I told you this about. Did you read it?

You need to manipulate your Slow variable, you are just subtracting from it, it will remain the same. And deltaTime is affected by scaling, use unscaledDeltaTime

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:12 PM

#

unscaleddeltatime?

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:12 PM

#

Anything you don't understand, put example into the code and see how it works

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

uncut magnet unscaleddeltatime?

what it does

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

uncut magnet unscaleddeltatime?

And any questions you have put into the search engine

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

exactly

#

0.1 0.2 0.3?

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

Do you know what deltaTime does?

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

yes

#

0.001, 0.002, 0.0003 etc

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:14 PM

#

no

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:14 PM

#

to 1

#

in 1 sec?

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:14 PM

#

uncut magnet 0.001, 0.002, 0.0003 etc

idk how its made or how much skips

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:14 PM

#

It's time between frames execution

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

well... in beginner's language?

#

aaah

#

nvm

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

So if you have constant 50 frames per second deltaTime will always be 0.02f

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

but why its going up to 1?

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:16 PM

#

it's not

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:16 PM

#

ok...

#

weird

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:16 PM

#

and deltaTime is affected by scaling time

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:16 PM

#

ohh

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

if you want value of time between frames unaffected by time scaling you use unscaledDeltaTime

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

ok

#

still not working..

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

So if you want to reduce scale you need variable that is set outside of the scope.

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

i got an idea

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

and reduce that variable using unscaled time then assign the variable

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

how do i put to sleep without freezing the game?

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

What are you trying to do?

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

well

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

manipulating timeScale only affects scripts and animations using deltaTime

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:20 PM

#

i wanted to make my own deltatime i know

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

Again, if you don't know how something works. Use examples in your scripts and output values into console with debug messages or text element to see the result and understand

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

i mean 0.1, 0.2, 0.3,..., 1 in 1 sec

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:22 PM

#

if you sum up deltaTime values during 1 second runtime, it will amount to 1 second.

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:23 PM

#

ok..

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:23 PM

#

if you set timeScale to 0.5f, it will take 2 seconds to get 1 second.

#

Test things, see how they work, then ask questions

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

well

#

how do i put sleep without freezing?

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

What do you mean by that, already asked you?

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:25 PM

#

i mean on .net u make new thead and use thread.sleep(ms)

#

so u wont freeze the whole program

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:25 PM

#

Unity has only one thread

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:26 PM

#

blissful inlet Unity has only one thread

i got an idea

#

animation script thing

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:26 PM

#

If you want to use threading in Unity use Jobs system

uncut magnet Sep 25, 2021, 3:26 PM

#

blissful inlet If you want to use threading in Unity use Jobs system

i see this is easier maybe

blissful inlet Sep 25, 2021, 3:26 PM

#

You can only use threading on stuff that doesn't affect engine without it
