Hi, I know it's been a while since you guys used the Source engine, but I'm trying to tinker with some console commands in ZC and having one recurring problem.
Whenever I use the "host_timescale" command to speed up / slow down the game, it always reverts to the default value of 1 almost immediately. I cannot figure out why it is doing this, or how to overcome it. Anyone have any ideas? BTW, this is a great game. I just now picked it up on the Steam sale, and I'm sorry that I missed it before. It's magnificent, nice work! I will be keeping a watchful eye on ALL your future games, because you are brilliant. Thanks in advance for any help with this! |

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this must have to do with a slow motion controller which only sets slow motion when you perform a full charged evade punch. The script/code has to make sure that while this attack is not playing the host_timescale must be always set to 1. I can't remember if this is set directly through code or in a specific controller you can locate with Hammer. Maybe it can be overridden with another cheat command?

Don't remember for sure either... but are you activating sv_cheats 1 before?

I think Andres is right. (And someone on the Valve SDK forums said nearly the same thing.) Ah well, it's not a game that really cries out for slow-mo anyway (not a lot of gunplay). Thanks for the responses! |

We keep modifying that value in the code to adjust it to the desired value (on each frame). we did this to "blend" between the different values of slow-mo so it would feel fluid |

It works very well, so I probably shouldn't be trying to break it.
