Magic Time Manager

v1.0

Create an empty object, perhaps named "Magic Time Manager", and add the MagicTimeManager component onto it. This holds LocalTimeScale instances which can be accessed by any IUseMagicTime (or MagicTimeUser) object.

Initial Time Scales

Populate this list with Local Time Scale Scriptable Objects you've created. Each will be replaced with a new instance of those objects, to keep from overwriting the default values on the Scriptable Objects.

In Game TimeScales

At runtime, information about each LocalTimeScale will be shown here, including the current value and the number of subscribers.

Other objects which inherit from MagicTimeUser or implement IUseMagicTime can "Subscribe to Initial TimeScales". When this happens, they subscribe to the instance assigned to the Magic Time Manager.

This way, all objects will be following the same instance, and share the same information.

All Time Scales

This List<LocalTimeScale> is populated automatically when you view the Magic Time Manager in the Inspector. It contains all of the Scriptable Objects in the project, so you can easily find them.

This is also used when the TimeScale() method is called -- if the LocalTimeScale has not been instanced yet, then the script will look it up in this list, before trying to create a new LocalTimeScale object.

Additional Scripting
