# Overview

**Magic Time -** **Local Time Scale** is a powerful tool bringing independent and stackable time scale behaviors to your project.

Each [**Magic Time User**](/magic-pig-games/magic-time-local-time-scale/magic-time-user.md) has its own [**Local Time Scale**](/magic-pig-games/magic-time-local-time-scale/local-time-scale.md) and can subscribe to any number of additional Local Time Scales, combining their effects. For example, most projects will likely have a "Global" Local Time Scale object.

In the GIF below, the projectile and characters are passing through a [**Time Zone**](/magic-pig-games/magic-time-local-time-scale/time-zone.md) which automatically subscribes objects to its own LocalTimeZone, so they are affected by it.

## Easy to Use

For each class that you want to have a Local Time Scale, inherit that from [`MagicTimeUser`](/magic-pig-games/magic-time-local-time-scale/magic-time-user.md) (a `MonoBehaviour`).

Then, whereever you'd call `Time.deltaTime` or similar `Time` values, call the `DeltaTime` (or similar) from your class instead! The object is now able to be controlled with **Magic Time**.

Here's a simple example of how you might use this in your code.

```csharp
// Old Way: Time.deltaTime
var timeSinceLastFrame = Time.deltaTime;

// New Magic Time deltaTime
var timeSinceLastFrame = MagicTimeUser.DeltaTime;
```
