Time Zone

v1.0.6

A Time Zone is an area, defined by a collider, with its own Local Time Scale. Anything passing through this zone will automatically subscribe to the Local Time Scale, and unsubscribe as they leave the zone.

The blue zone is a Time Zone!

Create a new LocalTimeScale at Runtime

The Time Zone is able to create its own new LocalTimeScale object at runtime, with a default starting value that you define.

Check the "Create new Local Time Scale" button to enable this, and then set the starting value you'd like.

Copy an Existing LocalTimeScale Scriptable Object

Alternatively, you can choose to use an existing LocalTimeScale Scriptable Object which you've created in your project. At runtime, a new instance of this will be created, with the starting value defined in that object.

This is a good way to utilize LocalTimeScale objects with a custom derived class that you've created for your project.

Even when multiple Time Zone objects use the same LocalTimeScale Scriptable Object, each will have its own unique instance of the object.

TimeZone Events

There are Unity Events for OnObjectEnter and OnObjectExit which you can populate in the Inspector. These events pass a TimeZoneEventData objcet, which contains the GameObject that triggered the event, the Collider of that object, and the Vector3 contactPoint.

Runtime Information

Viewing the Inspector at runtime will display any Subscribers currently subscribed to this objects LocalTimeScale.

You can ping the objects if you'd like to see specifically which object it is, and also remove it from the list -- useful for debugging.
