Component image
Authority Time Base component as seen in the Scene Inspector
The AuthorityTimeBase component allows for fine-grained control over the world time with a certain speed and with respect to a given offset.
Offset of the time base from the current world time. Can be written to or driven perfectly fine.
Usage
The output of the component is the current world time (as a Double) multiplied by the BaseSpeed, minus the _actualOffset.
The output of the component is accessed by sourcing the component itself. To write to the current time of the component, you write to said source. When writing to the component source, _actualOffset is automatically updated to reflect the correct time. When writing to BaseSpeed, _actualOffset is automatically updated to keep the same time. Writing to _actualOffset does not affect any other fields.
