Can we actually pause time?

I know we can slow time but I don't know how that's done.

How do we slow time?

Can we slow time to the point that it stops?

Might be a good idea to look into the functionality of the Slow Time shout. Don't quote me on this but I think its governed by a GMST, so you might be able to adjust the value to something so slow it appears to have stopped time.

Thanks!

It looks like the time percentage is determined by the Magic Effect's magnitude in the spell record. Nice!

I was thinking about that indie or early access FPS (and recently Doom mod based on the idea) that time only moves when you move. And I thought it'd be easy to do that in Skyrim.

I've not looked at it properly, but I can guess that we can add an Ability to the player with a Magic Effect with the Slow Time Effect Archetype and with a condition of IsMoving (which is a Condition that I know works on the player).

You'll need to use SetNthEffectMagnitude if you're using SlowTime; the default minimum in the CK is about 0.01, but that's not enough to stop time. You'll need to set it a lot lower.

Since you're only doing it when the PC is not moving, you shouldn't hit the bug I did--if you move too far from where you start with stopped time, things do not load properly :/
