How do you move a player controlled object when the Time.timescale is zero?
I have a basic script that pause everything with time.timescale and I have another script that should allow player movement when the screen is paused but it doesnt work. What am I doing wrong that makes this not controllable?
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
Vector2 moveInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
moveVelocity = moveInput * speed;
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveVelocity * Time.unscaledDeltaTime);
}
The documentation says it all:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-timeScale.html
FixedUpdate functions will not be called when timeScale is set to zero.
So if FixedUpdate doesnt work, what do I need to make it work ins$$anonymous$$d?
If you need collision detection when Time.timeScale is 0, you will have to handle collision detection by yourself.
Otherwise, you don't set the timeScale to 0 and you "stop" all the objects/animations "by hand".
There may be other ways.
Replace rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveVelocity * Time.unscaledDeltaTime with rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveVelocity * 0.001f
Let me explain, you replace all references to the time values by constants small enough to represent would that time would have been if normalt. In this case 0.001f. You can pop this into a variable and experiment with it.
