Logic timescale

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
See below for instructions on making it available.

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.

Keyvalues

Blend Time ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Time in seconds to blend between time scales.

Name (targetname) <string>

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.
