Entity description
An entity that controls the rate at which time passes in the game. Functionally identical to the host_timescale console command, but works without cheats enabled and supports blending between the time scales.
Useful to create temporary slow motion or fast-forward effects, as seen in the playable trailer for the movie Super 8 in Portal 2.
FGD Code
@PointClass base(Targetname) = logic_timescale : "An entity that controls the rate at which time passes."
[
BlendTime(float) : "Blend Time" : "1.0" : "Time in seconds to blend between time scales."
input SetTimescaleBlendTime(float) : "Set time in seconds to blend between time scales."
input SetDesiredTimescale(float) : "Time scale to blend towards, this is a multiplicative value where 1.0 is normal time, 0.5 is half speed, 2.0 is double speed."
]
Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
Inputs
- SetTimescaleBlendTime <float>
- Set time in seconds to blend between time scales.
- SetDesiredTimescale <float>
- Time scale to blend towards, this is a multiplicative value where 1.0 is normal time, 0.5 is half speed, 2.0 is double speed.
