Question How to have Audio Mixer unaffected by timeScale?

I have a pause menu that sets the timeScale to 0, but this affects the fading out audio when the player selects to go back to the main menu.

This is Audio Mixer fading script:

Code (CSharp):

1. public static class FadeAudioMixer
2. {
3.     public static IEnumerator StartFade(AudioMixer audioMixer, string exposedParam, float duration, float targetVolume)
4.     {
5.         float currentTime = 0;
6.         float currentVol;
7.         audioMixer.GetFloat(exposedParam, out currentVol);
8.         currentVol = Mathf.Pow(10, currentVol / 20);
9.         float targetValue = Mathf.Clamp(targetVolume, 0.0001f, 1);
10.  
11.         while (currentTime < duration)
12.         {
13.             currentTime += Time.deltaTime;
14.             float newVol = Mathf.Lerp(currentVol, targetValue, currentTime / duration);
15.             audioMixer.SetFloat(exposedParam, Mathf.Log10(newVol) * 20);
16.             yield return null;
17.         }
18.         yield break;
19.     }
20. }

Edit: I've tried setting the timeScale to 1 before the fading, but this "unpauses" the world and character as the fading happens.

 

If you change currentTime += Time.deltaTime to use unscaled time, like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. currentTime += Time.unscaledDeltaTime;

It should work.

Hope that helps.

 

Perfect! Thank you sooo much!
