    I have this script, which when it collide with the player, the timescale slows down

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using System.Collections;
    2. using System.Collections.Generic;
    3. using UnityEngine;
    4.  
    5. public class SlowDownTime : MonoBehaviour {
    6.  
    7.  
    8.     public static float slowTimeScale = 0.3f;
    9.     public static float normalTimeScale = 1f;
    10.     public static float timeOut = 8f;
    11.  
    12.     // Use this for initialization
    13.  
    14.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    15.     {
    16.         if (other.tag == "Player") {
    17.             other.GetComponent<Player_Controller> ().StartCoroutine (CountDown ());
    18.             Destroy (gameObject);
    19.         }
    20.     }
    21.  
    22.     public static IEnumerator CountDown()
    23.     {
    24.         Time.timeScale = slowTimeScale;
    25.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (timeOut);
    26.         Time.timeScale = normalTimeScale;
    27.     }
    28.  
    29. }
    But I need to make it so that the timescale doesn't slow down for the player gameObject , is there any way? I know about time.unscaledtime but not sure how to implement it

    Basically, you have to go through every script that affects the player to use time.unscaledDeltaTime instead of time.deltaTime.

    Multiple time scales is going to be a pain. Unity doesn't natively support them, so you'll have to do it yourself.

    In particular PhysX will only work with a single time scale. So if you want multiple time scales and physics, you will basically have to rewrite a large portion of the physics engine.

    I was also looking for something like this and I found a video here.
    He posted his code here.
    I haven't tried it yet but it looks interesting. You can also try checking out Chronos made by ludiq.
    You can also check this links:

    https://forum.unity.com/threads/solved-slow-everything-but-the-player.323965/
    I prefer the first one as it is the same code with whats in the video.
    I'll be testing it out later on on how his code works.

    I know this is an old post but you could just for example speed up or slow down a gameobject with anim speed and movement speed variables
