Overview

• Category: repeat_instant
• Icon: av_timer
• Description: Slows down or speeds up the passage of simulation time (slow motion effect).

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Output Pins

None.

Behavior

• work(): When flow is active:
  • If value is 0, calls simTimeAuthority.pause(true) to pause.
  • Otherwise, sets time scale via simTimeAuthority.setInstant() (if instant) or simTimeAuthority.set() (for gradual ramp), then unpauses.
• _executionStopped(): Resets time scale to 1 (normal speed) via simTimeAuthority.set(1).

Notes

• The value pin has a slider gizmo configured for 0–1 float range.
• Cleanup on stop ensures the game returns to normal speed when the flowgraph ends.
• The gradual ramp mode (default) provides a cinematic slow-motion transition.
