FreezeTime

A function added by the JIP NVSE Plugin.

Description

Toggles a special game mode, where:

• Game-time ceases to advance.
• All animations and physics are suspended, except for the player character.

The following effects were observed while this mode is enabled:

• Game-time does advance when sleeping/waiting, or when fast-travelling.
• Actor Effects/ingestibles with a duration are suspended.
• Hardcore needs are not incremented.
• Quest-/Object-type scripts continue to run as normal; Effect-type script, however, are suspended.
• Weapons with an ammo regen rate will still have their ammo regenerate. See FreezeAmmoRegen to counter this.
• Neither lighting settings not IMODs are updated when traversing between cells.

Additional effects are likely, pending further testing.

Syntax

Example

FreezeTime 1

set bTimeFrozen to FreezeTime 

Notes

• By omitting the argument, the function can be used to return whether this mode is enabled, without making any changes.
• This function is session-persistent.

Bugs

• If time is unfrozen during the NVSE LoadGame event, the game will crash. Unfreezing time can also cause the console menu to crash.
• Prevents things from loading properly when entering a new cell while time is frozen.
