Hi everyone, Does Niantic Studio have a feature to control the timeScale of the scene like in Unity? How can I pause the game on scene? ---

You’ll have to do it manually. I would create a component with a StateMachine responsible for handling the “paused” state and then just have everything in your game only run if the state is “unpaused”. ---

I’m handling it that way. but it’s quite take time to handle if there are many types of objects in the game. I am looking for a better method. ---
