SYNC RATE 5 (!)

or factor all your movements by something less than 1.

Its in fact quite easy this. When you move your objects, have a speed variable, such as m#. In your movementy code have it say, for example:
xpos#=xpos#+(speed#*m#)

what you do is, when you want to make your characters etc move in slo motion you tll it in your loop that m#=0.25 or any number below 1, and when its normal speed, m#=1.0.

What this does is when you want slo mo it multiplies the speed variable by a half, quater or whatever amount and slows it down. Simple.

If you want a slow motion effect, all you need is an old processor and low RAM. Works great on my computer.

I was also looking for a slow motion effect for my upcoming squad based shooter. After you get hit the first time (with a bullet) time slows down a little giving you a chance to see the baddy before he plucks off another hit. As with all my games I have no idea of how I am going to code that, but hey I suck at this!
