func_timescale

Code classes:

• CFuncTimescale
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

func_timescale is a point entity present in Left 4 Dead 2. It speeds up or slows down the entire game without changing host_timescale.

To do: Work out a formula for how long blending lasts in real-world seconds.

Keyvalues

Desired timescale (desiredTimescale) <float>

How fast the game should run as a scalar of default speed. 0.5 is half, 2.0 is double speed.

Minimum blend per second (minBlendRate) <float>

Minimum change per second when blending from the current timescale to the desired. To do: Real-world seconds or in-game seconds?

Acceleration per second (acceleration) <float>

How quickly the change per second goes up to the max. To do: Real-world seconds or in-game seconds?

Perframe delta multiplier (blendDeltaMultiplier) <float>

The per frame delta between desired and current (Confirm: Minimum + Accel * time?) is multiplied by this to get the maximum change per second.

Inputs

Start

Blends to the desired timescale.

Stop

Blends back to the normal timescale.

Reset

Goes immediately back to regular timescale.
