Can't do that. The slow-motion effect is all-or-nothing - it's playing with a variable in CC that scales time.

I think he means whenever anything is going faster than x speed it'll slow stuff down.

Then could you make a TTN, A Tactical Time Neutralizer?
Once you use it, it stops time so you can assess the situation, and spray a load of bullets in a direction.
I'm guessing you would set the time scale to 0 for that? Or 0.00000001.

E: No I didn't mean that.

Read the first paragraph here:

Stopping time entirely has pretty catastrophic results.

If you truly wanted to outright pause a scene, couldn't you have a script that paused the scene activity, kept the Deltatime the same, but set the velocity of everything in the scene to itself * 0? That way, you could suspend everything in the scene and it would have no effect when unpaused because you could set all velocities back to themselves.

That wouldn't truly pause everything, however. The AI would still be firing their weapons at you. If you wanted to stop those bullets, you'd have to also keep track of them to set them back to their velocity afterwards, which would be a nightmare. As well, anything with a lifetime would destroy itself before time was up, and Lua scripted objects would continue applying velocities.

This is really awesome.
Crashes when changing levels with or without the effect active (but the watch actiated), and when the actor "wearing" watch dies.
Do you know about these already?

That isn't happening for me. I'm thinking it might be a mac-only problem.

Bloody Mac CC problems. It crashed for me after gunning down a Dreadnought, though taking out a regular dummy was no problem. Other than that singular issue, however, this is a lovely mod, and I'm enjoying it immensely.

It's probably a Null Pointer issue, that can probably be isolated.
I hope B24 gets ported better.

This is great. Just great. One new idea, though. Make it so the USER doesnt slow down like everything else, so it is a tactical advantage.

So ah... yeah... I ♥♥♥♥ up the timescale by accidentally exiting CC and now I cant get it back, and I made sure that the DeltaTime in Settings.ini in Base.rte is equal to 0.016667. Help, if you can.
