Dio_Company - Time Stop

Adds a host-permissioned "time stop" ability to Lethal Company. The host — or anyone the host grants permission to — can freeze time: the clock stops, every other player and all enemies and hazards freeze in place, but the caster can still move, loot, and fight freely. Damage the caster deals while paused is queued up and lands all at once the moment time resumes.

How to use it

Press J to start (or end early) a time stop. Default keybind, rebindable in the config file.
Only the host, or a player the host has explicitly allowed, can trigger it.
The player who cast it is the only one who can end it early — otherwise it runs out on its own.

Granting permission

The host grants or revokes permission live, in-game, via chat:

/allow PlayerName
/deny PlayerName

No menu needed — just type it in the normal chat box. Only the host's commands are honored.

What freezes

The day/night clock
All enemies (including contact-based attacks/attach mechanics, e.g. tulip snakes)
Turrets
Spike roof traps (including the crush trigger, even mid-slam)
Landmines (the explosion is queued, not skipped — stepping off an armed mine while paused defers the blast until time resumes instead of dropping it)
The mineshaft elevator
All frozen enemies/hazards are silenced for the duration too

Effect

A greyscale/desaturation and chromatic-aberration pulse plays on pause and reverses on resume, along with a sound cue and a pink flash reusing the game's own scan-pulse effect.
