Confused about how time curve works for Engine: Change Timescale

tfishell

I'm not sure exactly sure how to use the time curve for the Engine: Change Timescale action. My assumption would be the timescale changes smoothly along the Y axis (slowing or speeding up over the "hills", like a sin or cos wave), over the period of time along the X axis. However, when testing it, the reverse seems to be true - Y is period of time and X is timescale (and even then I'm not exactly sure).

Can you give a quick rundown on how this works? (I assume it's like the other curves in Unity; maybe I could have figured it out by doing more research, apologies if that's the case.)

As an example, if I wanted the timescale to go from 1 to 0.5 over 3 seconds (I guess the 3 seconds would actually be longer as the timescale goes down?), how would I go about that? Thanks.

screenshot probably unnecessary but I figured I'd throw one in

Whoops, there's a bug - thanks for the report!

In PlayerInput.cs, replace the line:

SetTimeScale (timeCurve [timeCurve.length -1].time);

with:

SetTimeScale (timeCurve [timeCurve.length -1].value);

Then, the curve in your example would have a starting point of (0, 1) and an end of (3, 0.5).

Ah, haha, thanks!
