Time Node

Description

Provides access to various Time parameters in the shader.

Ports

Name	Direction	Type	Binding	Description
Time	Output	Float	None	Elapsed time in seconds.
Sine Time	Output	Float	None	Sine of the Time value. Output ranges from −1 to 1.
Cosine Time	Output	Float	None	Cosine of the Time value. Output ranges from −1 to 1.
Delta Time	Output	Float	None	The time that has elapsed between the current frame and the last frame, in seconds.
Smooth Delta	Output	Float	None	The time that has elapsed between the current frame and the last frame, in seconds, averaged over several frames to reduce jitter.

Generated Code Example

The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node.

float Time_Time = _Time.y;
float Time_SineTime = _SinTime.w;
float Time_CosineTime = _CosTime.w;
float Time_DeltaTime = unity_DeltaTime.x;
float Time_SmoothDelta = unity_DeltaTime.z;
