WaitForSeconds while time.scale=0?

Hello dear unity users,

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to execute coroutines with waitforseconds functions while Time.Scale=0;

Basically, I want to run some lines that are time dependant while the game is paused, and I'd rather not have to pause everything manually.

Or, is there by any chance a way to have 2 different time variables that I could refer to. In which case I'd have some part of a script refer to the new time variable, while everything else refers to the built in time.scale(if that makes any sense at all)?

Thanks

Edit : Just now realized that I posted in the wrong section. Apologies for that.

 

Unity offers Time.realTimeSinceStartup and Time.unscaledDeltaTime for keeping track of the real time that has passed.

Here is one way you could do it:

Code (csharp):

1. IEnumerator Foo () {
2.     yield StartCoroutine (WaitForRealSeconds (5));
3. }
4.  
5. IEnumerator WaitForRealSeconds (float seconds) {
6.     float startTime = Time.realTimeSinceStartup;
7.     while (Time.realTimeSinceStartup-startTime < seconds) {
8.         yield return null;
9.     }
10. }

 

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your time, have a great day.

 

There is an new method now: yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(time);

 

Thank you!

 

That one is indeed underrated.
