Make AnimationPlayer could ignore Engine.TimeScale

[Jamesika]

(This is another guy escape from Unity : ))
use-case:
When it comes to make a Simulation Game, "Change TimeScale" is a common feature, such as The Sims series. When Engine.TimeScale changed, all AnimationPlayer is affected, However, the GUI Animation should keep 1x speed as usual. In Unity, there is a enum value to make Animator ignore TimeScale:

Maybe Godot should implement that.
(Timer should also support such a feature)

I'm not sure using the time scale as you suggest is the appropriate way to accomplish such, you can provide time scale to animation already and control the scale too

[Jamesika]

If I manually simulate a new custom TimeScale, there is a lot of work to do to fit that custom TimeScale, Particles/Timer/Animations/Physics/....
But if I use Engine.TimeScale, the only work is to make GUI seems normal.

The support for such might be complex to implement, but you can manually change the scale of your animations that should stay fixed easily with this property

[Jamesika]

Yes, that's my current solution. I'm here to suggest implementing this feature in GodotEngine. (Because I found that Godot Nodes lack unscaled time support)

The more general time scale control like Unity was already suggested and rejected here

See there for discussion, but this might be closed as well for the same reasons
