Button animation at 0 timeScale?

Is there a way to play button animation, when timeScale is set to 0? This made sense for mecanim, but for GUI its common to have it displayed, while game is paused, so I thought maybe there is build-in logic for this?

 

While the answer is likely "no", you should probably not use timeScale to pause the game since, as you've figured out, that keeps the player from interacting with menus etc.

Instead of using timeScale, move the speed of all gameObjects to zero.

 

Hmmm, thank you, maybe I should move to some custom time management class, white it is not too late.

 

0_0 Oh, wow.

 

Also, as stated by Unity (unless I am remembering incorrectly), setting timescale to 0 is pretty much the official and intended way to pause your game, which is why they consider it a bug if the UI doesn't work with unscaled time.

 

I don't think this is the case. When timescale is set to zero, input isn't registered. When I first tried to do a pause system i used it and quickly realized it doesn't work for pausing.

 

It would be nice, however, if there was a special pause class that we could use.

 

They have made it clear it is supposed to work while paused, and they have asked people to post bugs when it doesn't. So you should submit a bug report with a repro-project if you can get input to stop functioning with timescale 0.

It happens for the "Animator" attached to the button only, and so it makes total sense to me now, its not a bug, as animator has 'unscaled time' option.

 

thaaanks alot

 

hey buddy thanks a lot first of all, but I just have one problem, it works totally fine but navigation is not proper when we use Unscaled Time. Means I prefer to set navigation to None so that I will be neet and clean transitions from Highlighted to normal or vice versa, is there any way to fix this?
