Time.timescale set to 0 whenever i start

There's a pause button next to the play button in the editor, check that isn't depressed :P.

How do you know Time.timescale = 0?

because if i write "time.timescale = 1" in "Awake" the game runs smoothly :)

the pausebutton is unchecked.

a better way to check would be:

 function Update()
 {
     print("time is :"+timeScale) 
 }

This will check if Update is being called, and if it is you will see a frame-by-frame update of the current timeScale.

Let me know what results you get.

Also, i know you have said you have checked, but it is most likely you are pausing the game somewhere, have you got a pause menu script or anything similar somewhere? An error in that could be causing this.

Does this happen if you create a new, empty project?

it prints the timescale as "0", which just confirmed my suspicions.

It does not happen in any other projects i have, and i do not pause the game anywhere, i'll gladly share my scripts if you doubt me :P

There is only one place in my scripts where timescale gets set to 0, and that is commented out, for debugging. I've tried deleting that line as well, but it doesnt change anything.

I am deeply mystified by this.

here's the print info:

time is :0 UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object) Character$$anonymous$$ovement:Update() (at /Assets/Scripts/CharacterScripts/Character$$anonymous$$ovement.cs:36)

another thing you can do is:

Create a new script, call it timetest.

in this script add the following:

 function Awake()
 {
     print("time is:"+timeScale);
 }
 
 function Start()
 {
     print("time is:"+timeScale);
 }

Then change your execution order so that timetest is the first in the list. This way, if you see timeScale as 1. We know one of your scripts is changing it.
