8.15 Time Speed Manager

Component: TimeSpeedManager

This component allows the speed of the game to be changed. If ’T Scale’ is less than 1, slow things down. If greater than 1, speed up. If less than 0, speed up (Time cannot run backwards). SetRecoveryRate and SetTimeScale both take a floating point value.

Field of TimeSpeedManager: float tScale

How fast is time passing? 1 = normal

Default value: 1.0f

Optional Field of TimeSpeedManager: float recoveryRate

how fast does time return to normal?

Default value: 0f
