Post Manipulating time
I'm new to Lua, and was wondering exactly how much you can control the flow of time(like zalo's time capsule)? Although I'm really just hoping against odds that CC can handle time being reversed.

Thanks in advance.

CC can not remember what happened 10 seconds earlier, sorry.
You can only slow/speed up time.

Aww, but I expected as much(I didn't expect it to be braid). :(

On another note how hard would it be to make the passing of time oscillate?

Actually, you can revert the flow of time. You just need to set the velocity of each object in the scene to (Object.Vel * -1).
It's not a REAL reverted time, as you will just revert all particles' trajectory, but it looks cool, that I can assure.


... Just don't use that technic yet. Please. I'm about to release a mod using it.

Tim made a true time reverser.

He's just awesome like that.

You could ignore the preformance loss and log everything to a userdata indexed table, in a table indexed by time.
